I wish upon a meteorite to get you back! Thinking of all that can be done and all that can't be done is a trick learnt out of obscurity and loneliness created by a sad event. A tragedy that struck me like white lightning, a blue electric jolt, a streak of pain from an announcement that you made: "I don't feel the same way any more. It is not you, but is me who is to be blamed. I'm sorry. With Love, as ever as always". Thus, you had signed on that fateful day leaving me marooned, under a darkened sky, like a rudderless boat, an aimless dart, thrown into shark-infested seas. Pain and anguish were the feelings on that night since when sleep has often feared to come upon me. On this day, the anniversary of our pre-marriage divorce, I still cringe with the same pain gazing at an empty sky, hoping disdainfully for a shooting star to land on my doorsteps, and an angel - you, to climb out of your ethereal chariot, and land into my empty arms joining me in a love-regained kiss. I wish upon a meteorite to get you back! ~~~ |

Sudhir~ Imitation being the best form of flattery I'd say you've done it in quite good form Such fun to cavort the across the avenues of entrepreneurial forms for presentation So stunning to see our poets inspiring us toward new heights of enlightment in view of the fact that we are all of the family of the circle of friends that make up the friendliest poetry family on the internet ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ [email protected] |

Sudhir, A poignant piece, and as always, wonderful to read from your perspective. There are other stars waiting to be wished upon, and meteorites are only dead rocks. Peace, friend. Coirnne |

WOW Sudhir, not matter what you turn your pen to the results are always amazing. This one is no different. "Beyond all this good is the terror,The grip of a mercenary hand,When savagery turns all good reason, There's no turning back, no last stand,"I.Curtis |
