Many Nights, Oh How I Wish …

Many Nights, Oh How I Wish …

A Poem on Tryst

The day that comes

When I can look into the eyes

Of my very own creation

Holding their tiny hand of life

I will remember the days

Before that very moment

The forever wishing

And Praying of words

That I would be given

A tiny part of me

Deep inside of me

There has always been

This strong urge to be

A giver of life

Waiting for the day

To have a family of my own

Oh how I dream and desire

Wishing upon many of stars

Many things

I know I will say

Lessons to teach

And reasons to give

Follow your dreams

Don’t sacrifice your heart

Give love everyday

Most of all to yourself

Be kind to the world

To all its living things

Treat others the same

Be accountable and don’t blame

Learn from falling

Be strong and get right back up

It’s ok to cry

But don’t forget to smile and laugh

So I bequeath to you

The wisdom’s that I know

So that you

Never fall into the puddles

That I tragically did

If this day ever comes

If I’m ever given this gift

If the universe finds me fit

To show another my way

And love them when they find theirs …

Oh how I wish

For another part of me

And of him, of course

I am tired of being selfish

I am ready to do for another

I am done with the nonsense

Of all the little things that just don’t matter

Oh how I wish

For another part of me

And of him, of course …

Palindromes

A Poetic Duet Written by Pieces & Think. Speak. Tryst

This is the brilliance of Neeraj, mixed with the feminine sensitivity of me, (Jen) … An emotional expression of words through the hearts & minds of a man and a woman .. Here, Neeraj explains this beautifully:

Palindromes are the words and sequences that are same while reading from backward or forward such as “madam”. Here, our palindrome will be for emotional sequence, connecting everything forming a never-ending circle of same sentiments, happening again and again. Like in this poem, every paragraph begins with same emotion the last paragraph was ended with. What you think? I would say let’s take the chance and redefine the word ‘Palindrome’ in a wider, emotional sense.

And, of course, I loved it and here it is!! Our written affair from us, to you ~ I hope you enjoy! XO

Palindromes

Smoke filled the empty room

Leaving me empty

All too soon

Here I am

Surrounded in my distractions

Cloaked in what I thought I knew

Laughing at my false interactions

And you are gone

So far from view

Gone like you were never here

Not in this world, where

I’m forced to keep myself alive

Sitting here, seeing my today

And yesterday fighting with hands

With each other

Just like we used to play

Not so long ago

Yet, long ago is where we were,

We were incredible upon the world

Two hearts, joined in one

Pieces that fell, and

Came together again…

Laughing as we, Loved endlessly

But that was then

It’s changed somehow

Somehow,

Something changed,

Altered the face of my today.

And I want to chase you back,

Want to go back

And live my yesterday…

When teasing was amusing

Not so long ago

Again the room is filling with smoke…

Leaving me empty

All too soon.

Walking Away

This is a Poetic Duet that tugs at the heart.

 Written by the talented Neeraj of Pieces, and myself of Tryst.

Walking Away

 Packed my bags I’m headed to the front door

with broken dreams and a broken heart

Once I’m gone I’m not coming back

Congratulations, we are getting apart

Isn’t this what you wanted from me were looking for?

An ending to our story, broken as we bleed

Turning to catch you, watching me go

Yet the room window was empty, like us, I know

Shrugged my shoulders. Why? I’m not sure

Took everything to this (broken) heart

Disconnected links, it’s not gonna restart

Congratulations, we are getting apart

It was once the love we had together

Welcoming & warm, like we were forever

Turning the page, you are cold & empty

What we had, I can’t even remember

Not that I wanna recall,

peel off the wounds before they could heal

“reality bites” makes sense now

‘cause throughout this nonsense we were real

Turning back to my cellophane life

Ending with you, ending this fight

Maybe tomorrow we will see the light

Walking away, without you in sight.

Ridding the Waters of Love

This week I had the lovely pleasure of writing a duet with a great friend! Shruti of A Shade of Pen & I have been writing for quite some time now … however, caught in the waves of life, it has been a while since we have joined thoughts and emotions and created poetry.

This is a Poetic Duet

Written by A Shade of Pen & Think. Speak. Tryst.

“Riding the Waters of Love”

I am helpless when I see your smile

I melt into a puddle of love

As I stare at the roads ahead

I always see my steps synced with you

 

Here I stand, a forcible strength of will

Letting it all go and without hesitation

To tell you the words that ring through my soul

It is you whom I need, to have and to hold

Regardless of the storms that life will throw

I will hold your hand and bear it all

After all, it is sorrow that brightens “joy”

Just like it is you, who breathes “breath” into my life

 

We walk along the cobble stone paths

Air brushing our cheeks like summer warmth

These moments in time, with you by my side

Wash away all the rain inside of my mind …

Together we march like we have no care

Love, affection and happiness is in the air

I smile at seeing your beautiful eyes

Because in it, I see the reflection of my smile

 

Our mirror reflection in the water below

With you by my side, we will continue to grow

Only until we see the setting sun

Our time is now, things have only just begun..

 

I will sail with you to the end of times

And make you smile with silly rhymes

There is nothing that will hold me back

Together, we will grow old, hand in hand

A Poetic Duet

Written by TwinDaddy of StuphBlog & Jen of Think Speak Tryst

 

 

 

 In This Moment

 

Wind brought movement

To your hair in the night air

Hold on tightly to me

Shaken is the bridge we stand upon

In this moment, you are all that I see

 

My field of vision blurry

Melancholy tears flood my eyes

I desperately clench your body

Fear chills my very soul

In this moment, you are all that I desire

 

Last night’s words echo

Penetrating deep in my heart

Leaving me in the valley of despair

Holding on to our velvet embrace

In this moment, you are all that I need

 

We stand upon the precipice

Of this life-changing event

Will you continue to stand by me

Or in your darkness, will you relent?

In this moment, you are all that consumes me

 

Hush while I sing to you

The sweet melodies of my soul

Escalating my desire to please you

Watching light explode in your eyes

In this moment, you are the magic that binds us

 

A hollow tune rings out instead

Foreshadowing events to come

I see our paths diverge

Leaving only shattered pieces to remain

In this moment, you are all that is missing

 

Standing in the frost-bitten morning

Realizing yesterday is long gone

Holding on to the tangible memories

I reach for you to come along

 

Broken pieces in our rear view

But it doesn’t even matter

Tomorrow is the place to heal our souls

Forgetting what was shattered

 

Through the energy that binds us now

Standing by you, you are next to me

In this moment, you are all that I see

Beautiful Mistake

A Passionate-Romantic Duet

Written by Neeraj of Pieces ~ Exposing Emotion & Think Speak Tryst

 

Beautiful Mistake

 Riding onto you,

 

I knew I was making mistake,

 

When in my mouth I had your taste,

 

Crushing my dignity,

 

For all the pleasure to take,

 

I didn’t want anything to waste,

 

So I opened my mouth,

 

To grab a piece of you,

 

It wasn’t going to be easy,

 

Ah, I wish I knew,

 

 

 

Heat and fire,

 

From your dark, intense eyes

 

Penetrate my heart,

 

Beating faster and faster, in this moment

 

I go to speak, but can’t

 

I should not take you back,

 

But here you are, and I’m your toy,

 

Teasing me, you are so coy,

 

As I melt into you,

 

 

 

Umm… It’s delicious feeling you all over me,

 

Don’t stop that finger that you run over me,

 

I’m your slave, feel me,

 

Explore my curves,

 

Explore the heights,

 

Get into the center and rewrite,

 

My destiny,

 

 

 

Skin on skin

 

Heat moving between us

 

Silent we are with words

 

As our language of the body

 

Says it all

 

This moment is timeless

 

You are breathtaking

 

Tracing your lips

 

I must feel your embrace

 

I will never forget this time and place

 

 

 

Let me feel this feeling so rapture,

 

Let me taste everything,

 

Let me (every moment) capture,

 

What I’m doing I have no clue,

 

As you’re moving deeper inside me,

 

And I, inside you,

 

And I wish I knew,

 

After you there would be no place,

 

But lets not stop making beautiful mistakes.

Dream Kisses

 

A Poetic Duet by A Shade of Pen & Think Speak Tryst

 

 

 

Dream Kisses

 Dark green leaves
Falling from the trees
Kissing the lake
I see you in my dreams

 

♥

 

You stand so close
I can feel you breathe
All the memories we had
Wrap around me and push me down
To the land we own

 

♥

 

You press your warmth
Into the palm of my hand
As we talk for hours
Love does not reprimand

 

♥

 

Into the afternoon sun, we have only us

We lie down in each other’s arm
Forgetting all the worries of the world
The entire universe ceases to exist
As my heart drums the beats for you

 

♥

 

Like kisses in the water

I enjoy these endless moments

Frozen in time, you by my side

Deep beauty is rooted in your eyes

 

♥

 

Nothing can take away the smile

No truth is larger than the love we share 

I hug you close, I hug you hard

Because I do not want to let you go

 

♥

 

So jump into the river with me

Let’s swim until our arms tire

Brilliant sky of blue above

Naked in the water with my love

 

♥

 

The Sun silently rises in the sky

And with a pop my eyes open wide

A wonderful dream ends yet again

I still smile at those memories

Because one day it will all be a reality

 

♥

 

Like the leaves that fall

Kissing the land they fall upon

In my dreams I see you there

In a place of mine, you will never be gone

Shadows of Fire ~ Tryst Fiction

~Tryst Fiction~

 

Shadows of Fire

 

There was a time when our fire burnned deep between us.

It was like we would never grow old and tired.

The passion and energy would build higher and higher with each moment we spent together.

Then life happened and your fire was slightly dimmer each year.

Yet, you can still see my passion, if you watch the shadows of my spirit that follow me, as you continue to walk the other way.

Through the Dark

 

A Poetic Duet, my first one written with Neeraj, who’s words come alive on the screen. He is an amazing writer! This piece we created together is both dark, and light… with love and pain. It is the best of both worlds, all in one!

 Written by Neeraj & Tryst

 

Through the Dark

 

 Draped in the darkest of black silk

I hide behind the light of day

Timeless memories

Haunt the corners of my mind

I am but a ghost among the pulse of the city,

 

Gleaming lights make me blind,

Or is it that nothing I want to see?

Silence of the past,

Shouts in my mind,

Ears can’t take it; I realize when they start to bleed,

 

Running from everything

I thought I knew

Standing in the distance, you

Shadow outlined in the night air

Waiting, anticipating, sensing my haste approach

 

Caressing with your gentle eyes,

Your gaze sensed that I was in trouble,

When everyone used to fade away,

You stretched your hands,

Embraced me as if I was a lost puppy,

 

Moments of my yesterday

Fade away with you in my view

Protect me, save me

Keep me in the light

Away from the misdirected emotion of the night

 

Laughter you allocate in my heart

My smile reaches to the eyes

I am addicted to everything you do

Don’t let me go out of sight

Always love the way you love me

 

In a moment’s time

In the darkest part of the night

It is you and I, alone &  real

Came here to find

The reason our yesterday is ready to heal

Yesterday’s Gone

A Poetic Duet written by Hastywords & Tryst

 

YESTERDAY’S GONE

 

After the tide

Pulls away from the beach

I am yearning for you

You are out of reach

 

I spent my life reaching

But each time I falter

Something happens

And you are even farther

 

After many words exchanged

You are slipping away

Looking to the sky

What more can I say

 

I have no more words

No more ways to say

I miss you so much more

Than mere words portray

 

As the tide rolls back in

I search it’s substance

But you were washed away

Forever lost in a churning sea

 

The only comfort I find

Comes from the rising sun

I know the day will come

And I will meet you were it sets

 

We are both free

Unlocked by our chains

Is there ‘us’ for tomorrow

I cherish what remains

 

Forgiveness is virtuous

Our language was broken

I’ll see you at sunset

Exchange things unspoken

 

After the tide

Lessons we have learned

Yesterday is gone

Resentments have burned
