'STING OF THE SCORPION' by LINDA GOODMAN

your icy voice put out the stars
it cracked my heart and broke it in splinters
your tone as cold as Colorado winters...

but i promise to soon forget
the contract we almost made
you'll feel the swift response of an equal
as the dream begins to fade
i'll drown you in pseudo-kindness
and a casual friendly glance
i can almost imagine your blindness as i watch and wait
for the chance
to suddenly- cruelly- let you know
how easy it was to let you go...




the last line was a total killer.... qatil....

'KISS' by EMILY CRANE

point your lashes down
and you can see my face-
i'm smiling...

open your mouth, speak with your heart
and you can see my soul-
i'm waiting...

place your arms around my waist
and you can embrace my uncertainity-
i'm shaking...

press your lips against mine
and try to catch me-
i'm falling...




i could almost feel it all happening with me... sensitive, sensuous...

POEM by A. E. HOUSEMAN

when i was one and twenty
i heard a wise man say
"give crowns and pounds and guineas
but not your heart away
give pearls away and rubies
but keep your fancy free"

but i was one and twenty
no use to talk to me

when i was one and twenty
i heard him say again
"the heart out of the bossom
was never given in vain
'tis paid with sighs a plenty
and sold for endless rue"

and i am two and twenty
and oh "'tis true, 'tis true!"




simply written, and speaks a lot!! my fav poem on 'love' till date.... :)

POEM by FARHAN AKHTAR

you've grown into a fine young tree
the pride of the neighbourhood
standing tall, flashing green air
home to all your insect friends

oh how everybody loves the tree

then suddenly one day a piercing pain
an axe chopping through your flesh and blood
you look down, you recognise the face
its the man who nurtured you, caressed you
its the same man who gave birth to you

oh how he loved the tree

one final chop, you lie still, dead
the green fades, the insects leave
but the neighbourhood cheers
they get a better view of the see now

oh how everybody loves the sea...



i heard Farhan Akhtar recite this poem when he was on "Rendezvous with Simi Garewal'... and it haunted me for days... i was lucky to catch the repeat telecast of the episode... i managed to record the poem, and then jot it down... it remains one of my favs till date...
