The Proposal

Sung Kim 7
PC: http://coukie24.unblog.fr/

Blindfold me and take me along
to a beautiful garden and sing me a song...
Hold my hands and shower your charm
Take me to the wooden bridge where the breeze is calm -
And when the magical bond is labelled with a word,
I wish not water, nor flowers nor air; none have it heard.
When you unfold blind and my eyes meet yours,
I wish to have the glow gorgeous than theirs-
Eyes shinier than marigold, jasmine, iris
Much brighter than lillies and coreopsis!
The pink cheeks like timid allium and poppy
The lush of red from zinnia and peony!
The anthurium glaze on my smiling lips,
You be the bee for the nectar sips.
A garden of love you nurtured for eons,
The long wait no less hurting than thorns,
I promise to stay with you by the vows,
Let no prickles; only beautiful rose J

    This is so romantic, Vijita, and the speaker in the poem must trust the person they are addressing if they are willing to be blindfolded. The rhymes give the poem a lovely lilting quality.

      I would have trusted my hubby before marriage if he had done this for me ;) He chose a different style though :D

Path of life

Image
PC: Mi Young Lee …and when the cassette began to rewind - I looked at what I earned and lost on my way. The reel showed a vibrant mosaic of colours; a patch of happy as well as bad times. No turns, no ups, nor downs but straight, I assessed the path of my emotional life. All the grouch seems useless now, time had been kind and always on my side. With every dark patch it offered a light zone, And all through with love and support of the own… In response to Susie's "Bits of imagination" at IGWRT .

Learning from Experience

This week at Imaginary garden with real toads, poets frame queries in "Fashion me a poem", using not more than 100 words, in the style of Emily Dickinson's 'Answer July' Here's one on the dilemma on which is the best phase of life - past, present or future:  PC: www.google.co.in Answer tomorrow -  What do you hold - Where lies my smile - Which way to memory? Sighed tomorrow - Are you bold - Can you laugh every while - Yester is remembrance already! I am gone - said yesterday - What did I teach - Where is the dream - Do you wish to deem - What is it today? Frowns today – Is past the leisure I had – Is future good or bad – How many more of me(s) to add? Exclaimed – life explained – Beautiful was yester – Upcoming not to pester – Today a daily fad! Live everyday – taught experience PC: www.google.co.in
