Elizabeth Squires
as the leaves fell
from the autumn boughs
he evoked to mind
their marriage vows

the golden maple's hues
reminded him of her wedding ring
it stood for something lasting
yet their love
perished
in the cooling
wind's
chill
which was for him
a
most
bitter
pill

the brown colours of November
tumbled into his empty heart
for his once loving wife
did take leave
his eyes
filled
with
tears
as the skies
clouded in grey
their union of love
on the autumn boughs
drifted
away

500th write
Since I joined this site
In less then a year
I’m full of excite(ment)
To connect with people all over the world
Through our different ways of writing
It’s been such a joy
I really can’t believe how far I’ve come
Here’s to 500 more....
There’s a lot of work to be done

I thank you all from the bottom of my heart
For all the critiques and love
I look forward to connected with more!

I wear my heart
on my sleeve
My emotions get
the best of me
I have no self confidence
in anything I do

Am I really worth everything
In my life
That I give
110%
With all that I do....
I’ve always been this way even when everyone around me tells me I’m great in all I have done. Never thought I was a great dancer or gymnast, still don’t believe I’m good at writing, or anything else. I’m
Always ******* myself no matter how hard I try.

Feeling like a hamster
         Running in it’s exercise wheel
Going so fast
           Yet going nowhere fast at all
Ever feel like your trying so hard but continue to be in the same place no matter what?
Planted as a seed
Separated from the weeds

To Nurture
From Mother Nature
She inherits her nature

Ever fragrant her flowers
For one and all , she showers

Weathering seasons all
Resplendent ,she stands tall

Painted on glass
She exudes class
The woman that we know
The woman of now
Wrote this for my artist friend, she shared her glass painting photo of a woman inspired by Mother Nature.

Now
"The euthanasia"
passive,
fundamental right
to die with dignity,
when no possibility,
is legitimate...

I wonder
If "the unrequited love"
depressive,
sentimental
A freewill
without felicity
was ever illegitimate?


Trying to correlate euthanasia with unrequited love....now euthanasia is legal in india

Many times
wanted to seclude,
But when contemplated
in solitude,
Realised
His existence in

The path
The jungle
The people
The deserts
The mountains
The constellations


A sher from an old ghazal sung by my fav jagjeet ji "kal choudahvi ki rat thi" inspiration behind this...
कूचे को तेरे छोड़ कर जोगी ही बन जाएँ मगर,
जंगल तेरे, पर्वत तेरे, बस्ती तेरी, सहरा तेरा।

Sometimes we fall
         Sometimes we fail
               Sometimes we make mistakes


It’s part of life and learning...
It’s all part of living life.....
