Solitaire

A solitaire diamond, thats what I am.

Glittering through life,

Me, no one can ignore.

When I talk, when I smile

Many a heart beat stop awhile.

A solitaire diamond, thats what I am.

Solitaire. Solitary. Alone.

When required,

I can rip apart your bones.

Hard as nails. Cold as stone.

A solitaire diamond, thats what I am.

Ornamental at his arms,

Dancing at a snap of his fingers

I seduce with many charms.

Behind me envy lingers,

A collector's item I am.

A solitaire diamond thats what I am.

On the other side of the moon

Labels: IMT, TOP - Friday, February 27, 2009

On the other side of the moon,

Breathes a naked world,

Of darkness and mystery

Of pain and misery,

And of pulsating rage unfurled

A tempest of supressed carnage

A shroud of secrecy it cloaks

With pent up desires, it chokes

Of whispers and nudges

Of malicious, unrepentant grudges

And of deafening sounds of silence

A world on the other side of the moon

Hidden behind the shadows

Scarier than the gallows

Of shifting and shivering sands

Lingers a quivering land

Ah a land of veritable doom

On the other side of the moon

A song

Labels: TOP -

Of hope and dreams,

A song I sing,

The sweetest song of all

Of tenderest care,

And simplest joys

Of mighty people and small

A softest web,

of silken thread

A verse of delicate form

Of warmest hearts,

And noblest spirit,

And of kindness above all

I sing a song,

Of the glorious days

And the magnificent nightfalls

A song I sing,

The sweetest song.

It would be oft recalled

Prompted at : TOP

The branches of the trees,
Wrap themselves around you,
Begging, not to go

The song birds,
sing in tandem,
Imploring, not to go

The passing wind,
Whisper into your ears,
pleading, not to go

The clouds in vain,
Rains,
Urging, not to go

Ah the sky,
bends over
Willing you to stop to not go!

The wafting fragrance,
The drooping flowers,
The setting sun
And the rising moon

They all express
What my silent heart couldnt
Why don't you heed to the plea in my eyes?
The unexpressed need in my sighs..

Screaming.. not to go...

Prompted at : totally optional prompts

P.S: I tried to combine two of the prompts.. for repetition and Aubade ( Aubade is a poem that asks someone to stay to not go away..)

P.P.S: I have kept it as simple as possible. I guess something as poignant as this needs no metaphor.. no symbols :)
