She asked them to choose, to have their
favourite way
Either be fondly pink lipped or be a black
and blue snippet
They took a path, intricate and once unknown to her
Wading into the world of metaphors, words and phrases
Don’t you worry, she won’t rest on her
laurels
Repercussions were caused by her charred
soul
Unravelling her besotted knotted thoughts
is not an easy tasks
Pages as blank as her life and coloured
white like her soul
Unkempt and scattered as pebbles on a
lonely shore
Will soon be adorned with fables and poignant
tales to narrate
Trembling fingers and fidgeting body, let her
recoil for the sake of the moment
What you just witnessed is her penumbra, hiding
deep is the delirium of emotions
Frenzy, frustration, sadness, love, anger and passion
Hiding in some secret alcove, driving to
commotion
Chasm beholds, she is taking careful steps
Plunging deep into the effing uncanny space,
Space that holds the whirlwind of her
dancing reveries
Emoting is not her art, trust me she is a failure
Let her sieve the fathoms enclosed, kissing
the sand at the bottom
Brandishing of skills is an after play
Can you be a little patient, please bear
with her delay
For a day shall come or a night for a
change
You won’t need to tell her for every time
you tackle her notes
Vanity shall be deceived and words swapped
For ‘slumber’ will occupy ‘sleep’ and ‘benign’
that of ‘kind’...
