[hometext] => Sometimes You Can Expect The Unexpected...if u have expectations....
[bodytext] => EXPECTATIONS She looked out of the window There was sadness in her eyes The pain that he had given her She just could not despise. How could he leave without regret? Was she that easy to forget? After knowing how she would feel How u could he be so unreal? It rained now through her mesmerizing eyes How he hated it if for anyone she ever cried Today its different he’s in their place She’s drowning in her solitude with no one to embrace. He very well knew that she never expected He always told her he was amazed She felt that he deserved all Until she got rejected by him This she did not expect at all. Strange thoughts ran through her mind Those memories were too many They could not be pushed behind Deep down she knew she was strong But she didn’t expect him to be away so long. It had been half a day now She sat patiently at her window pane Reminiscing their moments of togetherness Her thoughts were driving her insane. He should have been here by now Little did she realize that After not expecting even call She expected him to be back after all. He would call whenever he pleased It often depended on his mood He did care for her in his own way But today he was unexpectedly rude. When the summers would come Bringing warm afternoons They would share a siesta Till the sky revealed the moon. An alarm sounded from the kitchen And she finally got up from her chair She removed the cake from the oven And kept it on the table with care. She fixed her eyes on the cake that she had baked for him How he loved to consume it all He praised her for all she did No, she just couldn’t let this fall. Time passed and darkness began to fall She made an attempt to give him a call The line was dead and silence spoke She sat on the floor and wept- the silence broke. No, hope must not fade away She said to herself time and again But yet she could not Fathom all this pain. Deep inside she felt regret Regret for all what she had said Had she been quiet even today Things wouldn’t be this way. But fate brought the unexpected Something that she wished would stay Today she had to face it All she could do was pray. The start studded sky looked back at her How they walked hand in hand across the lonely street How when the moonlight played across their shadows They would run and hide and souls would meet. No not today she thought The street was crowded enough Where has he gone she wondered? This day has been so rough. When the clock struck ten she closed the window Her hopes already half dead The tears stopped Leaving those big eyes swollen and red. She looked at herself in the mirror Oh! What a mess!! She thought He always loved her smile But today she just could not. The reflection spoke for itself She didn’t deserve what she got Yet she was calm and composed She often missed a lot. He was a man of few words Though his actions spoke a lot She would often read his mind And sense his unspoken thoughts All of a sudden the lights went out And the clouds gathered together How he handed her his jacket when it rained She still could smell that leather. She lit an candle and made her way Across the hall to the window pane As she looked out of the window She could sense the smell of rain. The day was almost over And she sensed the unexpected She kept all the memories close She felt heavy in her head. As night approached silently She sat beside the window pane With her head against the wall Her face wet with the rain. When the morning tiptoed And the sun kissed her face She woke up and found herself covered with a blanket Made of her favourite lace. As she walked towards the kitchen She noticed the cake was gone She sensed happiness inside She was not alone. Her heart started beating hard As she ran to her room so glad He would surely be there she thought Maybe yesterday was just bad. But the room, it was empty And she felt it all strange The doorbell rang interrupting her thoughts So clear yet out of her range. She opened the door with courage To find him standing there To her surprise it was a small parcel Saying “handle it with care” As she opened the parcel in silence And wondered where he’d been till now The room was filled with his perfume She wondered why and how. As she lifted the white cloth From the box that she held A strange feeling creeped through her Her eyes, they welled. It was the same showpiece The Dove that they both liked Once they joked that they’d gift it If either of them died. She sat on the floor The silence now broken by her loud cry How could he leave her alone? Why did he have to die? A small note caught her eye At the corner of the Dove She recognized that perfumed paper The one she used to love. With trembling fingers she opened it And through her swollen eyes she read- “Darling, You gave me love unconditional You built your faith in me You put me on a pedestal You loved me so truly. I don’t deserve this all Because I never did try So Sweetheart accept this token of love For its time for me to say Goodbye” [comments] => 0 [counter] => 185 [topic] => 31 [informant] => tabitha22 [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 0 [ratings] => 0 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => StoryPoetry )

Poetry is much like a great photo, a single "moment in time" capturing many feelings and emotions. Yet, they are very alive; creating stirrings within the readers who form visual "pictures" of the expressed emotions within the Poem. ©
