She was waiting for
this day but now that it was
here, she got nervous
This wedding was what
she had always wanted and
her parents agreed
Though it went well,
she became teary eyed leaving home
and had to avoid smudging her makeup

A deadly pandemic,
A time to remodel all
aspects of our lives
Falling in love, a
risk he took willingly to
give meaning to life
Linking to dVerse Challenge – Poetics: Take a risk
We loved each other
to the moon and back but you
left me at the altar
We promised to be
by each other’s side but you
left me at the altar
We had some lovely
times together but you
left me at the altar
What started as joy
turned into depression as you
left me at the altar

Flashy and rigid
on the outside, soft and calm
on the insides
As I cut it, I
visualize the power and
strength it symbolizes

As they lay watching
the stars, they felt pure bliss not
having to stress out
But in the dead of
night, a shape-shifter had
other plans up its sleeve
While they got curious,
it went berserk posing a danger
to anything in its path

The blue sky where birds
fly, the blue ocean where the
sea beings stay calm

Defeat is part and
parcel of life and shouldn’t be
an embarrassment
II
Victory is all
that matters and defeat is
surely an insult
Linking to dVerse Challenge: MTB – Palinode
Note: A palinode is an ode or song that retracts or recants a view or sentiment to what the poet wrote in a previous poem.
As I look back, I
keep wondering whether he
really loved me
We started as friends
in school, chit-chatting away
for hours on end
He always made it
a point to do what he could
to see others smile
He always went out
of his way to impress me
or so I observed
The journey of a
seed starts from soaking it in
water for sometime
The soaked seed needs to
be planted in quality
soil with perfection
Moisture, oxygen
and proper temperature
are required to grow
The roots appear at
first followed by a small plant
