SSS: Dress Online

I own only Tshirts, jeans and jumpsuits.

Lessons Learnt PC

I have never invested in dresses, especially those classy looking fancy ones, simply because I can't afford them.

But, I wanted to look stunning for my brother's engagement, because I knew Martin, my childhood crush and my brother's best friend would surely be there.

I wanted to impress him, and look much drop dead gorgeous, that he should be floored.

So, I surfed online and ordered for this stunning beige color dress, which had cuts at the right places and showed skin, just enough to grab attention, the dress was supposed to arrive today and I was so eager to see it and wear it.

It did come on time, but, the dress broke my heart, and I have nothing to wear for the party tomorrow, I am doomed and I am in tears while writing this

APM: Cry of the River

Your prompt for this week is:

"The last river on earth writes a poem. What does it say?"

With tears, I fill myself

I swirl and run towards my love, the sea

But, my love, he is nowhere to be seen

I look back, at the place where I was born

My mother, the mountains are also gone

Where are the trees that my parents told me about

I wish for the rains to come out

But, my wish would never be fulfilled

For, Mother earth has already been killed

With hot winds wafting

And people, along my way stealing

The thrash that is polluting me

Please, people don't fight for me

For, I am free

Remember, you humans, when I am gone

Without water, you will regret the day you were born

APM: Scream

The poem is written with the last line of Vaibhav Sharma's poem to the previous prompt "All the screams I will hear by myself, I Promise."

All the screams I will hear by myself, I Promise.

Dadda, When uncle came to touch when I was five

I wasn't taught bad touches. Was I naive?

I cried I screamed, no one but I heard my screams

When uncle got his friends and when they took turns

I was only a ten, when I told you and mom about my "nu nu"'s burn

You asked me to keep quiet and said it was just a play

My heart cried & screamed, but the screams were heard just by me

My cousin, my best friend, uncle's son

He did what his father did, His hands pinched my tender growing breast

I was budding, I was just thirteen, I cried in pain with every thrust

Then, my tears and screams, no one heard but me

I came to you Dadda, with tears in my eyes & blood on my dress

You shooed me off and said family name mattered

I ask you Dadda, didn't you daughter ever matter?

My heart broke & cried every time I saw you entertain the uncle & his son

They used your child for their fun

What about the scars they left on my body?

What about the permanent scars they left on my heart?

What about the feeling that I can;t trust any man ever?

Dadda, did you ever care?

After so many years, I still cry myself to sleep.

You made me feel like it was my fault Dadda.

You made me feel like what happened was Ok

I scream out loud and wish the pain would go away

But Alas, the scream would be heard by no one by myself

FF: Happy Wedding Anniversary

PC: J Hardy Carroll

We held hands here for the first time. I think we were about 13 then.

We kissed here on this roller-coaster for the first time. I can clearly remember the butterflies in my tummy then.

We got married in this very amusement park. I remember my mother fuming, she wanted a royal church wedding and called this place a mockery.

We got our kids here so regularly. Wow! I feel nostalgic.

Now, after 50 years of being together with you, this is the most beautiful wedding anniversary date I could ever have.

Thank you Mr.Husband, Happy Wedding Anniversary!

SSS: Ripped & Mended

PC

My ex taught me to love.
My ex showed me how beautiful life can be.
My ex also made me feel the pain of seeing him with someone else.
My ex showed me that love can make me stay up all night,crying softly or weeping my heart out into my pillow and made me question myself why me?
My ex ripped my heart apart and broke it into a million pieces and made me wonder of how much more pain can I endure
Then, my current boyfriend and would-be husband came by, with a bucket load of smiles, love and lot of bandages, to mend my ripped apart, bruised and broken heart, making me realize how "True Love" feels like

SSS: Her wage

"Some people can be so inconsiderate and manner-less" scowled Myra.

"How dare Nanshai ask me how much I earn? How and why does it matter to her? Does she pay my bills? Does she take care of my family?" Myra's voice started to quiver and tears started to form in her eyes

"Just because she got married and divorced to some rich investment banker and got a fat alimony cheque and is at home does not mean everyone has the luxury to do that, some people have to work their a$$ off to support their families" Myra continued to scowl

Zeeshan slowly rose up from his seat and walked up to Myra and put his arms around her from behind and said "I and our kids are very proud of my sweetheart"

A smile spread across Myra's lips.

Zeeshan released Myra from his hug and said "Besides, the monthly wage of a Chief financial officer and the boss of  Nanshai's husband..ex-husband..will obviously pique her curiosity no? Not everyone knows that the CFO has a huge home loan on her and gets worked up so easily at home" with that Zeeshan chuckled and left the room

FF: Is it you or me

PC: Victor and Sarah Potter

I am in a tiny house, in a village where no one knows me, miles away from my past and away from an abusive husband. I am sitting here on a cold night with a cup of hot chocolate and staring at the neatly made cobweb.

I wonder, is that spider scared? 

Why has it made so many layers around it? 

How far has it traveled to settle here? 

Has it been used and beaten? 

Does it feel lonely? 

Will it ever find love? 

Will it ever be happy?

Suddenly, tears cloud my eyes while I think, Is it is spider or is it me that I am thinking about?

APM: Darkness

The prompt to write this poem is "Without warning, you lose your eyesight. You don't feel any physical pain. The world around you goes dark, but all your other senses become sharp. Write a poem about how you react in the immediate aftermath."

The darkness has setting and it feels like a doomsday

The memories of every color is fading away

Doubts & losses are creeping its way

My fear is something that I can't say

So sudden, that I don't know what to do

In front, of me my whole life flew

All the doctors I went to, no hope is all they said

All my prayers are for my eyes so are every tear that shed

Every body part, that I took for granted

They came for my rescue when they were most wanted

My sense of smell and hearing rose

While, my finger tips now know, what it chose

I feel blessed to have such amazing family & friends

They stayed with me when I felt my life has come to an end

Today, I want to thank everyone and everything around

For holding me up, when I was down

SWG: Sadist Alice

PC

THIS WEEK'S WORDS come from "Burning the Old Year" by Naomi Shihab Nye: doorknob, something, smallest, sizzle, shouts, dance, paper, flame, crackle, flammable, stone, dies 

There was something weird about Alice. I have seen her throw stones at neighbors windows and getting a sadistic pleasure out of it.

That evening, I can never forget, when Alice jammed the doorknob of the barn with their pet dog inside. She poured flammable liquid all around the barn and lighted a small paper a threw it on the liquid.

The dry grass crackled in the flame. Alice stood there doing a happy dance, while the people around screamed and shouted for help to douse the roaring fire.

People outside could here the smallest yelp of the little dog, as it inhaled enough smoke and eventually succumbed to it.

Slowly, the fire sizzled and died, but the body of the dog gave Alice a lot of satisfaction.

SSS: Start of Forever

My first Six Sentence Story of the year has a lovely prompt: Start

They were planning to meet today for the first time after long conversations, first on emails, then calls, then chats, then on video calls but never in person.

PC

Both have had their share of heart breaks in their lives and were nervous today.

They really wanted this to work out.

Their wavelengths matched, they were totally in sync, so felt in the conversations, they wanted it to be the same even in real, but with experience they knew to not keep their hopes high.

Now, its time, to meet each other, moments ticking, hearts beating, the world stops as they face each other, eyes meet, smiles spread, both of them instantly knew, this is start of a brand new, beautiful and mostly the most cherished chapters of their lives.

High up, somewhere in the heaven, God smiles and starts a chapter for them and titles it "Forever"

APM: Mirror

I have been a lousy blogger all year last year. I haven't written as mush as i hoped to, but this new year I hope to change it.
So, I have signed up for a weekly poem prompt, hopefully by the end of this year I hope to have at least 100 poems in my kitty.

Prompt of the week: "Your mirror writes a poem for you. What does it say?"

I long to see you every morning

Those eyes so deep, that look, it seeps into me while you wear that kohl

How they blink while you wear that tiny bindi on your forehead

That lips that pout while u try on different colors on it

Out of all my favorite shade on you is red

When those matching earrings dangle in each ear

Every time a smile in my heart does spread

Every night while you comb that long black hair

You look so pretty, but prettier with that bed-head

When you aren't around

I feel so empty and dead

I am in love

For my sole existence is YOU
