Poetry for thought

Title: Silence

YouTube plays a song that I heard when I hardly heard your voice.

When you were far away,

Even in these notorious times of technological connections.

“Invest in cuddles, and not conversations,” I said, yesterday.

And today I am craving for all those conversations we never had,

And even more so for those silences.

Though we were silent, it was in separation.

Silence in togetherness has its own melody,

Its own dance, its own memory.

As the song comes to an end, so does this verse.

We have drifted far from that month long, self-imposed exile,

From our love, our silences, our cuddles and everything in between.

And here we are today, in silence, but together.

Disconnect

I kept looking at that picture,

Might have looked at it too many times.

I have stopped now,

But it comes raging back.

As memories sometimes,

And other times as a hope for the future.

Maybe we will have more pictures,

Maybe we won’t take pictures at all.

Was it a declaration of love

Or a social obligation?

How does one disconnect in this connected world?

Title: Conversations

What would you do if I was in front of you?

I would shush you.

What I would give to hear you say that.

What would you do if we fell asleep together?

I would not want to wake up.

What I would give to find a forever bed for us.

What would I do without the comfort of technology?

You will never know.

3ww: Week 444 (Writing Prompt): Fatal, Glimmer, Impartial

Hello World,

Slowly reviving this blog, I hope this is a good start.
Writing prompt from my favourite blog: Three Word Wednesday

Title: Once upon a time

Once upon a time
Impartial was a word used right.
Once upon a time
Unconditional was a word used wrong.

Now, we try to remember
New words, to replace old feelings.
Now, too much has happened
And we have forgotten.

Words, words, words
Glimmer and die a slow death.
And our eyes are left screaming
And exploding with unsaid words.

What do you do now?
What do we do?
Remember to forget
Or forget to remember?

Once upon a time
We had finesse,
Once upon a time
Our words weren't fatal.

Once upon a time
The end was a rarity,
And today,
Once upon a time is a rarity.
