Look northward from this rock and see,
Temptations-
they say
Deceive.
Capitulate
the logic and wisdom.
Mind says- Step Back!
Go far away.
The soul deludes
Knots, criss-crosses.
Enveloping desires
The roses though pout now
Their layers are losing
interest
In our not so placid
conversations
and overtly placed
contexts.
Watch them unfold
Unfurl.
And what is left?
The tea is now cold,
The confluence of our
silences
Have evaporated into
the dark corners
Of this house, and out
of us.
Leave, says the
satiated soul
Like the despicable
bite of apple
Loved, lusted and now
lost.
Today's Prompt:-
2. Write a poem that has the same first line as another poem, written by another poet. I have chosen the poem 'Appledore' by Annie Whitney, and the original poem can be found HERE.
The above post is a congruence of celebrating the National Poetry Month-April in the NapoWrimo 2013. Also, this is part of the A to Z Blog Challenge. April is a special month because I was born on the 13th of this month and poetry is something I am extremely passionate about. Thus, here I go.
