what happen they say?
was your fault I bet!!
just like men all players
mumbling under there breath
hoping I don't hear, but I do
anger builds in me due to cheap shots
the modern scarlet letter but man version
why cast stones at me without knowing
No! I will not parade this Letter D around
this was my painful decision because I will not
change my identity to please another family
that openly said I wasn't good enough
or tell lies saying they will burn in hell
if she stayed married to me..
I watched long enough seeing her pick there side
leaving a good loving man ...so yes I had to pull the plug
didn't mean I didn't love for I did..
this was a learning experience not a scar
and I look forward and I still see marriage as a high honor

About this poem:
this was about the ones picking on me judging me and not knowing
I don't see how you can comment if you never been divorced or married
lol any how the society are professional stone throwers and then ask last.....

How oft we seek the unattainable,
And the controllers know how to control,
I can jump through hoops,
And the voices certainly told me so,
“La belle dame sans Merci hath thee enthrall.”
The Romantic ideal is always flawed,
That’s just the way of things.
The sirens’ voices called,
I couldn’t resist,
Even tied to the mast,
My soul burst from my body,
Though it was so tightly bound,
I had to have you in whatever way,
And whatever humiliations,
You placed upon me,
Physical love does that,
It mesmerizes and cajoles.
And you were so intelligent,
I’m sure you knew and know,
What you unleashed.
And yet like all Romantic fantasies,
You were totally unworthy,
And totally dishonest,
And in your own way,
You played those lover’s games.
And I think deep down,
There must be an unsettling.
Too many decent mariners have been lulled,
And in the end,
There must be a realization,
That your way will die,
Like the myth it has been based on.
The sirens' song was once powerful,
But it exists,
Only while we still believe.

About this poem:
What can I say about this poem? The only fantasy is in the mind of the fantasist. We set our ideals but know that there is no such thing. A basic flaw in human nature I'm afraid to say.

I used to think it was over...!
But now i know that
you are still in my head..
I simply cant forget you..
even though you shattered me
and my belief...
My heart is forever bruised.
so empty and torn.
I want to forget you
and want to move on
trying hard to get rid of you
from my mind and soul...
I used to think it was over...!!

I should have known it was a power thing,
For some it’s nice to have control.
Your whole life was about control,
Toilet seats had to be always down,
The ice cube tray always filled,
The books arranged in alphabetic order,
The dust cleaned from the door frame,
Pillows arranged in their correct order,
The rug never ruffled.
And a God in heaven.
I must have been such a disappointment,
A slow learner with my laissez faire ways,
Though I loved you so completely,
In the end you had those ambivalent thoughts.
I was just another statistic,
Of people who believed in you,
And were shabbily discarded,
Without a respectful word.
Your children fought a guerrilla war against you,
They gained some control,
Though they had to jump through hoops,
At times too.
But I was a lost cause,
The player who strutted and fretted his hour,
And then was heard no more,
The mouse being teased by the cat,
Destroyed and then discarded.
I was only left with sadness…a deep sadness,
Of one that didn’t love wisely,
But too well.

Some people need so much control in their lives. You wonder how it starts and how they never learn.

In the stillness of night I search all corners
of my room for you - and yet!
in my heart of hearts
I know you are gone -
gone forever and ever
I caress the pears that fall languid
over my breasts
the pearls you bought me
You would say - no 'English Lady'
should ever be without a string of pearls
You liked me to wear them in bed
where they would lay luminous against
my naked flesh
In this room of solitude and silence
a long shuddering sob escapes my mouth
expelled into the fetid airless room
My hands caress where once your hands caressed
I fall asleep clutching the pearls.

Under thy great sky in solitude and silence,
with humble heart shall I stand before thee face to face.

There you stand, in front of your mirror, Hair in hand
Fifty going on sixty, Your face is showing a map of the lines, of the good times.
O when you were young, all the songs you sung, all the young men and boys
Dancing at your feet, to you they were nothing but trinkets and toys.
Your children are all gone, your lovers have departed, and you have carved a name in the stars,
Do you still remember the roses thrown at your feet, The news and reviews you use to read?
Or just me in my old blue jeans, standing somewhere out there in the cold,
Or was I just another lover, one to sow some seed, one of your have been’s, or is it just that you are growing old?
O but do you remember when, the rain were soft, the wine were sweet,
You could dance all night, win the fight, with whomever you meet?
You could say what you liked, you never cared, as you know no one dared, no mater what pain you caused, Your youth and beauty were beyond defeat.
The playboy have flown, The seed have been sown, now again after twenty years you are alone,
He left you for one so much younger, (Could have been your Daughter)
You again look in the mirror, and wonder,
What if?
And now that you are alone and all the beauty have left you,
The fame is gone, the children are gone the Wealth is gone.
…… al away!!
Would you have now said to the one in the old faded jeans,
Stay?

About this poem:
Cant express it
Post Comment
Author: Abhishek Chakraborty
This is a story of a young little boy,
Who fell in love and couldn't express
His joy;
He loved his Missy with all his heart,
But the girl was just a little flirt.
His love for his girl was endless,
Never got finished.
But the girls love for him soon diminished.
They held hands, talked for hours always,
But soon everything went sideways.
The boy's heart was severely broken,
He just stood there completely frozen.
The affection she showed him completely
Fake;
But still, he wanted his Missy to return
For his sake.
Its all over,
But still he loved ,
His Missy then,
And he always will.

How about you?

Frankly, I don't give a damn
No, I don't eat ham
what's cooking in the kitchen
Shall I fetch the dog in?
You told me I was yours
You deserve a round of applause
You asked me for a photo
But, I didn't think I ought to
You said I was your honey bunny
Now, it ain't so funny
1 o'clock, 2 o'clock, 3 o'clock
4, 5 o'clock, 6 o'clock
I don't hear from you anymore.

Out of love
Post Comment
When will i see you again?
You left with no good bye and a single word was said;
And here I am,
Stricking a gutitar to Adele's Dont you Remember.
Dont you rembember,
the reason you loved me
And I too you,
My heart is alreay torn,
I can feel the tears as my heart unfolds into words.
How could you?
Dont you Remember.
I thought love was always meant to be,
When it was found.
Please,,,,I dont wanna do this on my own,
Its like the sun has finally stopped shining;
Everyday lifeless without glimmer,
And the words got stuck in my throat again.
God forbid me, I just want you for my own;
Did you not see the beauty in my heart,
or You were just a player inlove.
I will sing and ring these words of;
I love you.
My chrous will be,
Where were you?
When i needed you,
Where were you?
When my heart was hurting
Where were you?
When my bed was empty;
Where were you?
When i did this audition.
Its far too late now;
Dont you remember?,,,the day you left me.
