Alone on the iland

here we go.....the first sonnet:

by me

Petal of my heart

The first twilight broke the night,

in semidarkness, in dew, touching me as always were you,

so tender, so close, so warm, my pearl with a pinkish hue,

clunged to my heart with your soft grasp, so weak yet so firm,

you made the universe complete, you made the rhythm go mad,

so fresh, so soft, inseparable we were,through day and night.....forever,

in the silver moonlight we dreamt together,

the twilight broke again and i extended my hand,

my pearl where are you?

no trace of fatigue, no sign of leaving but suddenly you are nowhere,

the scar is fresh, the universe is gone, but why did i loose you?

the moon burns the night, the dew drop is chilling,

the symmetry would never be complete again, as the scar would always remain,

the petal of my heart i lost you..............

Jo's attack:

A SONNET OF THE FALLEN PETAL
Destiny’s reply to “Petal of my Heart”


Was I lost?
Have you bid me your goodbye?
If so, why do you cry?
I was like a wind, I passed you by,
You sucked me in, as light filled the sky,
Though you embraced me in darkness with the silver moon,
I was in slumber amidst the gloom!
I came to you not in your sleep,
I walked in daylight for you to keep,
Was I too bright for your eyes to see?
Or too fragile, that you stood in waiting…
Too long a wait! I thirst and dry,
Now I have fallen, and you don’t know why-
T      the petal of your heart had gone to die.

Me again:

 

Jo stikes back

A SONNET FOR THE HEART
(Destiny's reply to the "Flower")

Roots, bloody roots…
Wounded in spite of actuality
A flower that was doomed
Way before it bloomed
And now tears are shed,
A life afloat, a heart that bled,
Turn back no more
Of your life on the shore
Searching! Inviting! A pain’s delight,
Living! Loving! All day and night,
The petal, the flower, the pearl of your heart
Die with her now! It’s time for a start
Live anew today, and meet with her again
But in a fresh new time and a love without end..

Me again :

Heart's reply to the destiny

Heart replies


Stars are twinkling, kukoo is singing
Dew also is cajoling again,
The moon is bright, let’s dance tonight!
The breeze asked me again,
So much of love, so much of pain,
This limping heart would beat again?
but,
The only touch I feel is you,
The only breath I smell is you,
The only song I sing is you,
The only dance I know is with you,
Oh! My Pearl where are you?
For without you I ponder,
There is nothing to live here or yonder,
I wait for you in the dungeon of my heart,
The doors of which are safe and locked,
As the golden key is only with you,
My sweetheart I would always wait for you,
But come soon as the bell is ringing,
Fingers are numb and my heart is sinking,
My petal I would die for you.

Jo commands:

Destiny's reply to the "Heart"

 

Damn this death! It stays with you

Be lost forever or live anew!

Can you not see the light of day?

The glint of hope is on your way!

Don’t play with me, for I am yours

You need to see now change your course!

For you don’t know what you need

Your bloody death is what you heed

Your heart is locked, your soul wanders

Your body, tired, your mind blunders

All you have is me now, look at me!

For nothing worth having, will come easy to thee

Whining gives your life no rest

Come, live with me, you’ll be at your best

 

I give up:

 

Heart’s answer to the “Destiny”....2

Death never stays, for it is a new beginning,
The body is lost but the soul is soaring,
The cycle of life has to be completed,
For their could be no rebirth before demise is greeted,
An angel has appeared in the dungeon of my heart,
She holds my hand and promises a new start,
But my dear for how long?
This heart is frail and the petals have dried,
I don’t know how much the moon has cried,
Love is in your eyes and may be you are right,
But another wound I won’t survive,
So if you want to hold me, hold me tight,
Close to your bosom where only you are in my sight,
And we would dance for ever in the silver moonlight……………

A BROKEN SONNET OF DESTINY
Reply to the Heart-a-beating

You sulk in dungeon, bitter and frail,
Save for the air you breathe, and your silent wail,
Have you not chased enough of death?
That now you embrace its after breath?
Enough of your doubts, fears and frustrations,
Do not be afraid, I am beyond your illusions,
I have been with you from the very start
Don’t turn your back on me I have your heart,
Ask me not how pain crossed your fate
The ardor, the fire that ignited your faith
The petal of your heart, the flower that withered,
All but the keeping of sweetness you gathered
Look beyond what your dream is made of now,
       it should excite,
            it must ignite,
                  it dwells in you,
                        it lives in me.

By Me

the heart beats again:

She comes when light is about to leave,
The demon of death wants to sweep,
The divine touch and the ocean of eyes,
The emerald grace Venus sighs,
Oh my angle take me with you,
Beyond the ocean and the valley of dew,
In the seventh heaven we would reside,
With only you by my side,
I doubt not you but my fate,
Which wants to shut the pearly gate,
Oh love! Oh life! kiss me on lips,
In your tight embrace till the time dips,
The sparkling night and the beautiful days,
you are only for me my heart says…..
