Two Unpublished Authors Await Publication

Julia Doyle arrived at Spinoza HS
with visions of creating a real Community
and to that end she announced
all submissions from the faculty
would be published in the school’s
literary magazine.
One day in the Teacher’s Center
Minna Cohen asked Julia,
“When’s the magazine coming out? ”
“Soon...but I didn’t understand a word.”
I immediately said, “Julia, you promised us
we’d get published.”
“I thought Minna would do a love story.”
“Not much love the last decade, ” she said
“Imagination, Minna. You’ve got that…
at least I hope so…
no writer can function without it.”
Minna muttered, “You said I’d make it
no matter what, just no dirty words
that’s what you said.

The Stages Of Marriage

marriage is indeed
relational

at the first part of it
she gives you a lover

later the lover becomes
your sister and

later the sister turns
out to be a mother

it is only when you are
dead that she becomes a wife
again

she cries for a while
she takes all that you have
and if she is still too young and desirable
another man

It is a political thriller. It's very action packed and it's very exciting, but at the same time it's a very big soulful love story about longing and loss. They're not separate, they're completely dependent on one another.

The decision to kiss for the first time is the most crucial in any love story. It changes the relationship of two people much more strongly than even the final surrender; because this kiss already has within it that surrender.

Tale Of Two Lovers Forbidden Love

A tale of two lovers who met when they were young
They got together just to have some fun.
Sparks started flying way beyond their control
They was so excited, so brave, so young, so bold.

They became lovers (I’m sure you already guessed)
Bringing out emotions, bringing out their best.
It was a forbidden love for a pair who was so young
But they nurtured it, and soon it became as one.

A love story - like a Romeo and Juliet tale
Their love so strong, they knew it could not fail.
He was protective in more ways than one
For she was his life, she was the sun.

They knew there would be objections
By family and their friends, so they
Kept it quiet till the very end.

They continued with their schooling

Honesty

Honesty
Has no
Place -
In this
World.

When I was
Honest -
With you,
And told you
How much I
Loved you…
You said -
Never to write
Such thoughts
To the one
You love,
But to write
Someplace
Else, for instance,

One Who Stays Awake All Year Long

i've just copied the adage from love stories

he says, 'i'm tired of lovin' thee

she says, 'so..................am i ' So?

i would say; i never get sick of it, anyways

i just keep myself awake

maintain some sense even when i sleep a bit

it's no different from illuminating my heart with dangerous red light

warning me that i slhould never make one more step forward

this is a problem

the same as an answer not answerable

Romeo Sings to Juliet

When your eyes failed to notice me
Then I knew love could never be.
I shall live with a broken heart
Today and evermore...
I will miss your delightful kiss
And that feeling of heavenly bliss.
But I pray our love story will ever be
In the Archives of romantic history.

Hunger

Tell you a story
bout a friend of mine
Woke up in this room
Looked like... black and white movies
No light
And someone strange in the bed
She said
You could be here forever
Can you feel me?
Im the new disease
Im like a hunger
That youve never known
Do you want me?
Ill take everything
Im like a hunger
Lying in your heart
He made excuses
Tried to leave the room
She said
Im the disease and the cure

Flashes of Austen

From page to screen
Adorable Jane Austen
Telling us love stories
Woven amidst secrecies
And social prejudices.

The shrewd girl from Steventon
Bequeathed to us a treasure written
With a unique goose feather quill
Fulfilling her wishes and will.

Readers of Austen find
An array of characters
Speaking their mind
Through a precision of language
In different voices beyond age!

Kindness and civility
Elegance and respect
Are visible in landed gentry

Frigid Shores

So what was to be an epic love story

Lasted for just as long as the lightening danced on the horizon-

Glimmering, fading like fireflies fleeing the dawn

And as the waves broke on some frigid shore

On your icy indifference

So did my heart...

Bad Love Story

Once again you tried to show me
What my eyes refused to see
In the lines between the painful scene were in
With the silence falling coldly
On a world of make-believe
And the ending that I still dont understand
Chorus:
Its a bad love story
That Ive had to learn by heart
cause Ive lived these lines so many times before
And its a shame the way the same old ending
Still tears me apart
Where the lady still dont love me anymore
I can see the truth before me
Like a mirror on the wall
With a crack or two for every fool Ive been
And I see the lady waiting
For her count-down curtain call
And its looking like the place that I came in
Chorus:

Bare-Limbed Tree

summer gone to dog days,
autumn approaches on a
strange wind....
i long to watch the leaves turn,
and fall, tiny love stories

that no one else can see.
and the sound the bare-limbed
tree makes... reaching for the sky,
reaching through winter for
the spring....

the smell of woodsmoke,
coffee and brandy by the fire...
a thousand memories turned
to brown, lost to eternal moments,

i am that bare-limbed tree!
reaching for the sky, reaching
for another spring.... reaching

Baby, [Good)

Babe, I'm Really Sorry
I Truely Am
I Just Wanted You To Be My Man
I Know I'm Ugly And Annoying Too
But I Think I'm Falling In Love With You

It Seems Like A Love Story
And Baby Its Close
You Almost Got Me To Take Off My Clothes

I Just Want You To Understand Me

I also wanted to do something that I hadn't really seen in almost any black novels, which was a complex love story in which both people were extremely intelligent and talented and understood a lot of things and were still at odds getting it together.

Inspiration for Grand daughter Chitra

The agony and ecstasy
of love inspires poetry
Which otherwise would not exist.
I am quite sure it would be missed.

Though I can only speak for me
I find romantic poetry
can pass the time so pleasantly.
Arousing instant sympathy.

For those who love but love in vain.
Who choose to share with me their pain
and those who win their hearts desire.
Set forth their joy in words of fire.

I read as if I’m in a trance.
Vicariously enjoy romance.
experience at second hand.
Love stories I can understand.

Love story

He loved her
She loved him
He gave her, his heart
She gave him, her soul
Gifts exchanged
Unable to meet
Desires remained
Unfulfilled
They remained apart
No hope to meet
He committed suicide
She also died
Fate wins
Love loses
Sad end to a love
Story
Which remained
Incomplete

Frederick And Geraldine (Story Poem)

In that magic evening we have met
Silently seeing in movie that
On a big ship some were under threat.
They saw the sky light up and a pat.

So slowly the ship began to sink.
Despaired, in the water they fell.
And when its image began to shrink,
They were in a boat, it was like hell.

They could swim even across the moon,
In despair, needing to survive.
They reached the shore of black lagoon,
They realized that they were alive.

She breathed new air like a survivor,
She became a stranger in night.

Jolly Good Fellow

She was in love
with a 'jolly good fellow',
Soccer Team Captain
in stripes green and yellow.

She fell for him madly
as in love story lyrics,
failed her Mathematics
then failed her Physics.

He was handsome - it's true,
mature and kinda mellow,
used to drink with the bloys,
such a 'jolly good fellow'.

A Kinda Love Story

A kinda love story

You rang told me to come pick up
my shaving stuff and tooth brush.
I found them in a plastic bag near
your kitchen door.

I knocked on the window asked,
to get my heart back too, unkind
you chucked out a raw pig’s liver.
My dog was delighted.
