one red
one white
and one pink,
i picked up three shades of love
along the way home today.

today
eight am
you ask me to be early back home,
something about an unofficial
seventy-sixth date you had planned

two five pm
you call me to check
whether i’d had my lunch or not
and whether amidst all the work
i’d managed to forget about later today
in all honesty, it did slip my mind
but i told you no

four thirty one pm
twenty missed calls,
and eleven texts from you.
‘hey, you on your way?’
i don’t respond

five six pm
i leave my work station
and call you back, finally
you don’t answer
i messed up,
i know.

five fifty three pm
on my way
i pass cafes
and couples
holding hands
kissing
celebrating
...smiling
being everything we used to be

stop
stop
s t o p
a small boy comes up to my window
and offers me flowers
‘a rose for your lady?’

even though
it may not seem like it
i’m still here
for you
for me
for us
and i know, you are too
in the sticky notes on my lunch box
in the small smiles into my kisses
in the wordless i love yous.
you’re here too.

i smile
And take three
one for you
one for me,
and, one for us

i’m in love with you

i’m thinking of you.

i’m thankful for you.

one red
one white
and one pink
i picked up three
shades of love along
the way home today.

for you.


Roses.
This is me challenging my writer's block and coming up with something that pulls me out from this non-writing zone. Tell me how you like it? Thank you.

loud sounds of sobs
filled the li'l kid's room
as he looked at the sky
filled with stars and the moon

the li'l kid was crying
coz he missed his mother
let alone those thoughts
never had he seen his father

memories of his mother
again did ignight
coz the memories were the only thing
to hug him tight

now that he was adopted
he still felt glum
he regretted his sixth birthday
when he had lost his mum

he missed his mother
again did he start to weep
he was only eleven
when he drugged himself to sleep

a harsh blow of wind
knocked open the window
a white rose had fallen in
by the sudden wind's blow

he held the rose delicately
and stared at it in awe
it reminded him of his mother
beautiful and without a flaw

he drifted to sleep
along with the white rose
innocently thinking
it pursed his mother's soul
hello there, It's my first poem here. Hope you guys like it. I'd written it when i was 12 :)
