Romance

by nouriguess   Oct 6, 2012


We're amidst the crazy
city; October dimness, women with
huge bags tugging kids - prancing, fulfilled
and carefree, sottish lights everywhere
altering from red to green to peculiar.
Me, standing there with my half-devoured
cigarette, covetting the vista of a taxi, your
lips openning themselves and locking themselves
like a fairytales book
and through traffic jam, through my puzzled
feet and desperate smirks, I hear you saying
something sweet.

It's when we are put together against
the mercilessness of our time and you just
look at my drowse then grab me
closer to your shoulders,
I feel that I indeed was made
just for you.

    This piece is evocative of pure feelings. I loved how you described your emotions grandly through simple moments. Love is lucidly the most exalted of all heart felt emotions. So real and pure are your descriptions and within the careful detailing of how love is between two lovers, you managed awesomely to keep the relationship of your theme as well as structure in order. How exemplary is that. I so much adored how you executed this whole piece, it makes one think. Vivid sound imagery you painted. Gets one to appreciate all these moments when we're meshed in our affairs.

    How much we hardly take notice of each others presence, but such speak alot of rooted bond that has taken years to develop. Rather it was just a match made in heaven that we seem to be ignorant of our actions. I believe its always good to cherish every moment we have, whether with our own thoughts or amongst crowd. Someday when such times for one another are hard to come by, those moments shared will be worth pondering over.

    Beautifully thought out. You're such a burgeoning talent that must be kept a close watch on. Keep them coming. Bon Travail! :) ..

    Noura...My Dear, This was absolutely breathtakingly beautiful, to the point where I felt the chill in my spine, that feeling when something just feels perfect...right here girl, right here.

    I loved the scene, how it felt so dreamy, so surreal but so evident too, like it made sense,

    There were just some lovely little things in here that made me love it so...
    the whole intimate yet distant details, like the "half-devoured cigarette", it was just so mesmerizing

    OMG You just took my heart and painted it with pink roses... LOL
