the cross of the critics
nailed the duo with a despise
they showed no mercy
for the pair's demise

crucified
crucified
by the venom of a viper's bite
crucified
crucified
there wasn't any scrap of respite
crucified
crucified
in a rancorous mean spite

the pack of detractors
wanted the dyad beaten down
so they served up a caustic vitriol
to claim an undeserved crown

crucified
crucified
savage the meter's punishment
crucified
crucified
ever vile this scathing torment
crucified
crucified
none being fair in treatment

the cross of the critics
nailed the duo with a despise
they showed no mercy
for the pair's demise
NB: I've used the poetic device of repetition in the piece.

We are the perfect pair
Two lovebirds sharing a nest
I make your heart sing, you make my heart fly
Your voice puts my heart at rest.
This one is cute and silly.
is after me
she is poking
her stick
in my
honey hole

she takes her stick
crams
it
in
my
honey hole

we start to tingle

she pulls her stick
lick lick lick
she licks
me

sting sting sing
we
stung
her bellvadear

two
a fumble,
a moan,
two bodies,
a home.

the whispers,
the gasp,
two people,
at last.

a stumble,
a groan,
two endings,
alone.

Maybe it's just because we're on equal ground or you understand the pain and misery I've been through?
I don't understand how it works, but it's been years since I first met you and we've built a pinnacle of trust and I question is it worth it all,but I can't help but admit that you've initiated my constant falling
the Nov 2017
a waltz upon awkwardly falling rain
the lady wore an anxious refrain
and under the moon there was a shadow
a long walking, beloved beau

and they danced, the roads have frozen
a brazen path, they have spoken
beyond their minds, holding the midnight
the moon has gone, the couple uptight

many of us spun under the light
of unconscious dyad here tonight
and many wonder, were they aware?
of a raincloud closing the affair?

a motion in process of a great delight
seeing nothing else but this plight
of many.. considered as dangerous spite
not severe to the one's blind sight



...until now

You treasured your body,
you kept it for me even before meeting me.

I treasured my heart,
I kept it for you even before knowing you.

You once gave your heart away,
it came back bruised and broken,
I helped it heal after we met
But the thought bothered me,
I wished we met earlier
so you never felt pain like this.

I once gave my body away,
it came back numb and broken,
You helped it heal after we met
But the thought bothered you,
You wished we met earlier
so I never gave up like this.

You kept your body locked down for me
I kept my love locked down for you
so they are not polluted, so they can be pure as new
when
we collide.

I wish
we met earlier, so
I could give you the unbroken and whole me
that you deserved.
Together, it 's a whole.

There was blinding darkness to deal with
at first; worse, glaring light to fend off too,
I held you closely,to my heart and moved
we pledged to explore together till the end.

But the play of light and darkness recur
now with different colors and other means.
We lost the compass that point the path we sought
we parted ways smiling at a juncture, unexpected,
in silence, though still aware of our one true calling
the  relentless quest to find a meaning absolute.

Now you are struck by the moment of epiphany
ask yourself about my whereabouts, perhaps fearing
I'm lost forever in  some wilderness unknown,I gather
may be far far away from you, now you'd be thinking
as you had concluded  I am wild, a meteor through space
But my love,never fear, find me there,within you, secure
at our old, rendezvous, that quiet,green space,eternal.
Opposites attract
But fire melts ice,
Water suffocates fire.
