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 Alastair and Think Speak Tryst

 

 

‘Moving through the Night’

 

I fear as the storm approaches

and night-time falls

I hear your voice from afar,

as to me it calls

 

Through the mist and the fog

I can see the light.

I envision your face, your help,

your warrior’s might

 

The more I approach you

The more I see

The more your hand stretches

Reaching out for me.

 

Remembering the moment

The very first time we spoke

Delicate you

Falling before me

 

In the night air

Down on bruised knees

I can see you

Beginning to bleed

 

I look in your face

Your eyes full of tears

I take your hand

Try to ease your fears

 

Come sit beside me

Under the stars in the sky

You have run far too long

And for many reasons why

 

Let go of the years

Let go of the pain

I will be with you

Tonight in the rain

 

As I give you these words

My promise to you

Darling sweet friend

May your strength pull you through

 

In the chaos of the storm

There is a sudden, soft break

Be calm, precious you

You are not your mistakes

 

Through the mist and the fog

Let us both find our light

Leaving the past far behind

As we travel through the night.

Together Forever

It has been quite some time, since I have put my emotions into words that rhyme … I came across this lovely piece, that I wrote with A Shade Of Pen some time ago. We post our words here today, and I am loving them even more!! Please visit Shruti at A Shade Of Pen as well … she is a sparkling ray of sunshine!!

♡ 

A Poetic Duet

Together Forever

Every time I think of you

I can’t help but smile

Because your sweetness dissolves
The worry that pains my eye

 

Every time I think of you

My world turns bright and colorful

Bad things just slip away

Because you are so wonderful

 

Your words melt my beating heart

As a new emotion swells up inside

Slowly, I find myself slipping away

From the tormenting ghosts of yesterday

 

As May flowers burst into bloom

I am held inside of your embrace

You keep me safe from many storms

Finding comfort that is tender and warm

 

In your shadow, I will grow

Together, we shall walk this road

Distance fails to matter anymore

When people are united from the soul

 

 

When the sun sets into the sky

Another day has passed us by

Every time I think of you

I feel the love between us too

So, we will grow everyday

Time will only bring us close

Although, separated by countless miles

I feel the love of your smile

After The Rain

Written by Alex of Into Dawn and Me of Tryst… This is a piece purely written to brighten the day… place a smile upon the face… warm the heart… From two wonderful and warm friends… Enjoy!

 

A Poetic Duet

 

 

 

 

After the Rain

 

Those storm clouds finally clearing
The rain no longer falls
The children play in the glowing sun
Instead of behind paper walls
 
The warmth of the sun
Kisses my skin
Like never-ending days
I feel alive again

 

The shade beneath the redwood
Is comforting and calm
The leaves floating in the breeze
So lightly graze my palmSo Lost am I in such a trance
In heaven I am surrounded
With beautiful things everywhere
Never again to be grounded

Springtime flowers blooming
The in orange, yellow and red
The simple natural beauty
Much more than can be said.

Sun shinning down upon my skin

Embraced by the world around me

Strom has passed, new day has arrived

This is the way life should be

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

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

The Train

This is a short, poetic story about life. A life in change. A life in a pivotal moment. Life is kind of like ridding on a train. As we move forward, the world & scenery will change around us, as we are always in possession of the same soul. Although our souls stay with us where ever we go, it too grows, and learns, and feels, and experiences… 

 

So as we continue to live, how much does the world change? How much do you grow as a result of these external changes? Where is your train headed now? And from what has your life moved on from…?

 

This piece is a duet written by my darling Shruti & myself, Miss Tryst. We hope you enjoy… and take something from it, as we did writing it. Visit A Shade Of Pen to see more from my darling Shruti. I am truly grateful that my life has connected with hers ♡

 

This is a work of fiction

♥

 

 

The Train

 

Blinded by a blur

Of many shades of green

With my heart left open

Broken For all to see

Moving forward, not looking back

I am leaving the town

For my next chapter

I boarded the train

Leaving my tears on the street

Looking out beyond what my eyes can see

Something different, time to breathe

I have left happy times behind

I look back at those times

With longingness rooted in my eyes

I loved to be what I was

But, how long could I live in the past

So, bidding goodbye to all regrets

Here, I am walking ahead

I have hopes and yet I am scared

Will a new step take me to places I would love

Or will my soul remain locked in lanes of yesterday?

 

Crushed, like the

Velvet in the seats

I hold my regrets

This one last time

Perplexed by the reality

I am leaving behind
Forgiveness, oh, how I wish

Things could only be so easy

 

As the train pulls me forward

One by one, I release my memories

Looking out the window

I touch my finger tips to the cold glass window

With the blur of the world

Moving behind the palm of my hand
Back and forth in time I go

 

As the train lurches me forward

I try hopelessly to free myself from the shackles of yesterday

Tomorrow a new sun will rise

And with it, the endless nights would end

Unaware of what my future would be, I can’t help but smile

Because the thrill of a new ride

Was always enough to keep me alive

Finally, I have reached a new land

As I step down, I am amazed at the view
So many things are same… and yet they all feel so new

 

Looking ahead

Elements surrounding me

Laughing at my fear of yesterday

Embracing the fact that

I am here for a reason…

 

I am here for a reason…

Leaving you with things left, still

To the imagining mind.
