    Wisemen
    by dollwithafrown

    Astute and aware, he stood
    glaring at the morning sun, like
    no man had ever witnessed such power
    before.

    Petals lay twisted in his aged palm,
    like seeds of an ancient flower
    that could never reach
    bloom.

    His son, a man of many ages now,
    stood by his side with the kind of grace
    that even angels find hard to flourish;
    - they are the masters of their soul
    - together, they realise that life is but one story,

    an idea they failed to attain
    alone.

    "Piece of Me"

    Mr. Wilson is a prick
    And Donna Reed is a prom queen
    Clinging to a dream.
    Inside her mascara is running.

    Clark Griswold's dreams
    Will never be nothing but dreams
    Cause in the end, he's just been
    shoveled a pile of shit like the rest of us.

    Beaver may be a good boy
    but he's shoving his hairless prick
    into his buddies like we all did.
    And we were never really innocent.

    Hey noura,I wanted to post this poem but hda exams,so couldn't make it...:)

    Loosely strapped onto your fate...

    Awaiting your reply,
    I spend days with hope,
    searching for reasons of ignorance
    from the most indispensable part of my life...

    I tried my best to collide with you,
    but your ignorance followed,
    it then cultivated
    moments of despair...

    Disheartened by your reticence,
    I imbibed the fragrance of sadness,
    it grew into
    hatred towards you...

    Those harsh moments of your eludence
    made me your strong rebel,
    it made me erase all my feelings for you,
    it made me discard your reminiscence from my mind...

    I gradually felt out of your ambience,
    it made me feel
    I would now live a fresh life
    I would now begin a new journey sans you..

    A prolonged period later,
    your fruits of love culminated for me,
    you showered your love
    by connecting with me...

    Your single attention
    acted as a magical wand,
    it brushed away the vindictiveness intact for you in me,
    it glued te pearls of our love in a moment...

    The rays of your life entered my soul,
    tearing away the gloominess I lived with,
    it etched back your memories
    I buried long time ago...

    It seems my heart is
    loosely strapped onto your fate,
    as despite your ignorance,
    it still feels for you...

    I have one for "Sparks Fly," I had just posted it today (:

    You can be like the handsome sun,
    And I'll be your pretty little moon;
    We'll dance together to an unheard tune;
    And like an artiste and his muse,
    We'll embellish the cerulean sky,
    With more than just modest shades of blue;
    We'll kindle this spark that quivers and shakes,
    Catching fire to our magnum opus,
    Illuminating the shaded sky with
    Emeralds, magenta and amethysts.
    For we are just a spark shy,
    From pirouetting like fireworks,
    Exploding like a kaleidoscope of colors.

    Thank you so much, Noura. :)
    I really owe my win in the weekly contest to you. If you hadn't made this contest, I wouldn't have gained the inspiration I did from the title - so thank you. (And apologies for not being able to write a poem for the second title I chose; busy month!)

    Thanks for the HM and thank you for the opportunity. This really pushed me outside my boundreis wich is what I wanted. I tend to be a rhymer and storyteller. Sorry if my last one was too much. I was drunk, agrevted, and leave it to beaver was on the tv. Time is my enemy and I tend to revise alot. Hopefully this planted some seeds that will grow into something good. Thanks.
