fill it all in a bottle


"I will court you"
he never ever said that
but I had heard
he gifted me a coral beaded on a thread
I would have preferred a plume
such a rare thing to give
why can't he pour his feelings from a bottle?
a dry bathe
Isn't that a paradox?
why am I thinking randomly
what incident has made me so
I want all in my own terms
my heart open to him
I make a ball of my fist
and come back to silence

power of denial cannot be ignored
not when it takes us over completely

    Sad indeed. The power of denial can be overpowering. Realizing so, is such a powerful first step. Peace.

    This is a thought-provoking poem, Guatami. Well penned.

    Men live in a parallel universe and are not all that perceptive. It is rare to find a soul mate that anticipates your needs. If you do, tell no-one, keep him for yourself.

    Sometimes denial is our only tool.

    Cool take on denial and self-deception and wanting something so hard we make it "true". Love the first lines.

    So many questions! I'm listening, I can hear the words, but I don't pretend to understand.
