I am just trying out my poem writing abilities.

I'll explain more at the end of my poem
Its a poem about betrayed love.




ONLY YOU'VE CHANGED

Just as when someone goes digging
And that someone is fortunate in finding
A pearl whose quality is everlasting
The happiness makes him go merrymaking

Glad to find the pearl he goes away
Admiring, polishing and brushing it everyday
Shows his friends "I envy u" that's what they say
Oh pearl, "I'll never part with you come what may"

Several moons later time takes its toll
Shouting, Fighting, biting, everything spoils
He is misunderstood the pain feels like a boil
They had both said " we'll end this in the soil"

Oh pearl, no longer the same, much change
Just beauty, no character only plenty of feign
No respect, no love, no real values just pain
In retrospect, I should have noticed only you've changed.



In this poem....
The someone in the first verse could be anyone.
( male or female). but for simplicity he is assumed to be a man.
He finds a woman (pearl). who makes him very happy ( he goes merrymaking).
He tells her how much he likes her, and spends plenty of time and money on her 'everyday' ( admiring, polishing and brushing)
Even his friends are happy and envious of his good fortune in finding the woman.
Its obvious he marries her. In the last line of the 2nd verse he makes the wedding vow.( I'll never part with you come what may)

After their wedding, several negative things start happening. from arguments which turn into shouting then into fights that features biting.
The man begins to feel misunderstood. He compares his pain to that of a boil which is quite painful.
He recollects the wedding vow "Till death do us part" ( we'll end this in the soil) at death, a person is buried in the soil.
This shows that he now feels trapped as he wants to fulfill the vow. This further adds to his pain.


He acknowledges that the woman changed after the wedding.
She feign a lot which obviously deceived the man.
looking back he realises that he should have noticed her real character.
but she has changed after the wedding.

The inspiration for this poem is from a true story

Nice one! I'm following your though.

Thanks

This is about a phone I lost last year.
the suddenness of how it was stolen was the inspiration of this poem...and also the reason why I made the poem brief, because it was with me for a brief period of time


BRAND NEW PHONE


I bought a brand new phone
The sight of which can make you moan
In ecstasy - oh how it shone
Beautiful and brilliant, strong like a bone

Everywhere I went, it came along
In my hands or pocket always playing a song
Oh I'll have you forever -but I was wrong
I lost it to pickpockets in a bus- then it was gone

MY REGRETS
FLEE AWAY FROM ME


I never knew you would do this
I never knew you would say this
So this is who you really are
So this is what you are capable of




So this is what it actually is
So this is what it really feels like
It seems my heart is moving
It seems it just experienced an earthquake.




You wanted me to be perfect
To tell you lies as if you are a pet.
You thought I could not see through your pretence
Nothing you say will be enough defence.




I know I'll have to face the consequence.
I know I'll have to live through the pain of my offence
I just need to get through this day
If I survive this, I'll survive anything.




You dare tell me you love me
When deep down u feel I am the worst person you have ever met.




Get away from me
Get this painful memories away from me
I plan to go on living
Without your senseless hate...





So run, run, run
Flee away from me

Over and over again

we imagine, we aim

falling on us the rain

and we will feel no pain

over and over again
