Perhaps – Non-Love in More than ten lines

April 17, 2015 by forgottenmeadows 2 Comments

Perhaps, the leaves were meant to fall…

Perhaps, we both didn’t give our all…

Perhaps, it was that broken dream…

And perhaps it was me, who couldn’t lean,

on you.

Perhaps, it was the wounded heart…

Perhaps, our roads had to part…

Alas, perhaps is all that will ever be

Always present in thoughts,

of you and me.

The “non love challenge” was presented to me by my good friend Aquileana. Check it out here: https://aquileana.wordpress.com/2015/04/08/%E2%96%BAgreek-mythology-zeus-and-callisto-poetry-poem-challenge/ . If you haven’t been to her blog already I suggest you do so now …She is a great versatile blogger with many interests.

Coming back to the challenge, being a firm believer in love, it was a little difficult for me to write this so I had to really get my writer side out to imagine a “non love” verse. As you can tell I have not followed all the rules and I do not have the word “love” in my piece, and I have 10 lines and not sentences, also I do not think I have an adverb :D. I figured that as it was a creative piece I would just let my thoughts flow. I am not nominating anyone in particular as I just did the “love in ten sentences challenge“; however, I challenge anyone who is up for it and is willing to give “Non-Love in more than ten sentences” a try. Thanks again to my friend Aquileana for coming up with this challenge and I hope my attempt was alright. 🙂

Here is my quote:’Even After All this timeThe Sun never says to the Earth,You owe me.LookWhat happensWith a love like that,It lights the whole sky.” – Hafiz

Good luck Everyone! Do let me know if you choose to participate would love to read it!
