Happenstance - A Love Poem
At a Glance
(This is a poem inspired by the novel "Message in a Bottle" by Nicholas Sparks. this was published in my blog, and was denied by HP so i need to revise the original content. I was really smitten by the main characters of the story, that I immediately wrote the poem "At a Glance.")
Your eyes are lingering
And creates a deep yearning
I want to uncover what’s within
I want to probe what’s hidden
The remoteness of that stare
I’ve been needing to bare
I can’t even repudiate
It seems not to abate
The riptide gradually subside
And slowly drifts by the seaside
I have a hard time to fasten
This ill feeling that’s contained
My desire is to unleash
All the looming wretchedness
I want us to start a fresh
And free you from neediness
Since the first time I saw you
A spark consumes my ego
Just bear in mind that Happenstance
Is caught in this Parlance…
Message in a Bottle

Oh wow! Simply wow! Though I haven't read the novel, but the poem you wrote is so deep even for a first glance!
Beautiful! Hope is one beautiful thing and romance is another one of those things dreams are made of... Love it. Have blessed day!
I have not read the book but I think you have executed your thoughts wonderfully. My favorite lines are:
My desire is to unleash
All the looming wretchedness
I want us to start a fresh
Beautiful. Just beautiful.

I can't begin to tell you how jealous I am of your poetic talent! My own poems look like I had shaken up a jar of random words, but yours is sheer perfection! Will you have a book of poems published?

hello Phoebe....thank you for the generous comments...until now the thought has not come to mind...but who would not be thrilled to have a book published?it would be a dream come true...hopefully a guardian angel would touch the heart of a publisher...
Nice one Raciniwa, I like the word play here, cool stuff indeed. Tough words to tackle yet it works beautifully, voted up!
You definitely should look into it. Your work is amazing!
Raci, a poem as beautiful and lovely as you. Who is the object of desire here, the desire itself seems to come out and ask this. Lovely,
