After being deceived
by the destiny and people
I turned to the
gracious world of nature to tipple
The nectar of wisdom,
kindness and optimism
I have heard people saying
''do what inspires you''
And so, I decided to sow
a seed of palm, a sacred belief
For its leaves are an epitome of
peace,triumph and delve
The process of germination
has always been inspiring to me
While nourishing it I found myself
nourishing and growing
It taught me a lot of things like
the way of life
First we are dependent
and later on we alone strife
The morale and mannerism
parents rendered with
Have to carry on with
own choice and insights
The palm leaves were there
in my garden standing tall
I planted one in the realm
of my better half
To get myself up
as many times as I fall
I did, so many times!
again...again...again
Not because I could not
gel up easily or adjust
He meant a world to me
and he didn't respect
Everyday he come home
drunk,tipsy and unconscious
Cling me in his arms
tightly, kiss and
love me passionately
Unaware of how painful
his passion is to me.
I smile faintly in tears.
When his thirst is quenched
he throws me at the
room's corner, naked
He blames me
for his blunders,
oversight and abatement
I listened and tried best
to understand his grief
until he wasn't wild
It was hard to decide whether
I want love with dearth or
respect from heart
The dearth of love was bitter
than its sweetness.
Thus, I chose respect
Palm also signify of eternal life
with which I wanted
to bless our relation
I stood up once more, to fight!
I fought hard to make him realize
''You endeavor all that you wish
.jpg)
from your true heart''
He is still mine not just with love
but with respect too
''Love without respect
is always fleeting but
that respect could grow
into real,lasting love''
This is so difference from what you usually write. And well, you did take upon a difficult subject, but I loved how you executed it. Very well expressed, the words evocative and true ... lovely write :-)
ReplyDeleteYes, a different flair I tried. I already had pre thoughts about respect Vs love so it was easy to put them into words :)
DeleteGlad to read those appreciating words. Thank you so much :-)
i guess respect gradually evokes love...
ReplyDeleteYes, that is what I conveyed through this poem :)
DeleteLove without respect... is that love? I really liked this one. Some great thoughts here. Last few lines in bold are simply awesome.
ReplyDeleteIt is actually a matter to ponder over. It is up to the individuality's priority. I wrote this after a bit of survey. Many of the people chose love with no respect. So, you see....everyone with different vision.
DeleteBut I agree to what you said. Of course there can't be love without respect.
Thanks a lot Namu :-) <3
Intense! :)
ReplyDeleteWas waiting eagerly...

ReplyDeleteDhanyawaad :)
DeleteTruly agree! Well conveyed the message dear
ReplyDeleteGlad you agree :)
Deletethank you so much dear
You write really well and convey your thoughts beautifully.
ReplyDeleteI do think love can exist without but it is something no one should aspire for, as love is not the only emotion in the human-spectrum-of-emotions.
