Foxtrot The Late





 Lets set our hearts on fire

And share our deepest desire

Tangled in this wire

Are memories worth Sapphire 


A glass of whiskey and lime

And this philosophical rhyme

The midnight clock chime

And a love worth just a dime


With my pen name, 

Every poetic letter I sign

Whilst breathing and coughing 

Like in a smokey coal mine


Staring at the clouds above

I tell my readers, I fell in love


Not so long ago in the past

Just to make it last


I sold my boastful honor,

in a shiny silver plate 

So they wrote on my gravestone 

"Foxtrot The late"

Cold Winters

Image
  In that bleak midwinter  When you held my hand It was the last winter I felt the warmth of that hand When the cold had me shivering When winter rains came pouring down When each drop trickeled down your cheek When those lashes were soaked wet When the cold water made me sick When cold hearts made me go hot I could feel the warmth of your hand  You held out to me That beautiful hand My heart had gone so cold It no longer deserved that hand In this bleak midwinter  I wish to hold your hand Tis the first winter I no longer feel the warmth of your hand

A Sunken Ship

Image
  When in cracks slipped her hand When alone, I sat in the same sand The love I had, all of it Most of it, Some of it,  And now none of it And then I closed my heart  Broken, burying a bitter part Haunted by her words, once absurd I sit like another sheep in the herd Alone in the past But now lonely at last  "I had all of you  Some of you Most of you And now, None of you" Following your scent And the words I meant Not tonight shall I fall asleep For I have sunk in pain so deep Foxtrot lives as a ghost of you For all I am, is just most of you Take me back to that night When the moon was so bright Not knowing what I am supposed to do I exist in the colours that faded years ago

A Rainy Day

Image
   She was in the park reading a novel just like any other Friday evening. The evening sky kind and gentle, the breeze serene and tranquil, injecting life into her meaningless life. of course she would come here, it reminded her that she was still alive. She was a girl in her early twenties, who was no longer a girl but had matured into a women, working in a mediocre office job.  He was as usual in the park just like every other evening after office. He had nothing else to do, now what would he do in an empty house with no family. His parents died 3 years ago in a car crash leaving him; the only child, alone in this world. This park and its comfort, which the nature aided, was all that was left to him. And so here he was sitting on a bench alone but not alone. Something was off that day, the park was empty with not a soul to be. Well of course these two were there, but isn't that a little too romantic...                 ...

Crazy Daisy

Image
  Sometimes, I think I'm crazy Everything feels so hazy I just keep feeling dizzy But then I see my daisy Sometimes, I just stare  Out the window, I glare I see a scenery so rare Sleep deprived messy hair There's nothing to live for This pain keeps growing more My eyes go sore My chest hurts to the core This burden on my shoulder The world feels like it's over And I keep getting older But then I try to be sober I'm at the verge to cry And I just want to die I often ask myself, 'Why?' But then I see that one 'Hi' You just don't know my real side Which I often hide How I turn the tide  So just sit back and let it slide Fighting each day like a soldier With this weight on my shoulder I could just try to be more colder I might just get crushed by this boulder  My head feels hot  And my temperament lost I sit here to rot Being The Foxtrot (Crazy Daisy) by ~Foxtrot

Stratification

Image
 Have I told you how intimidating those eyes are I just realized that in the middle of the day at this hour Should you shoulder the burden of their hate And maybe that is part of a warrior's fate Were you ever to lose control of your heart You will see that darkness playing a part You donot seem the one who would care And to you that doesnot sound fair Hiding behind the cloudy mist of anger It is your broken heart that might linger Finding ways to keep your distance  You have a tattered and broken existence  In this devious art of stratification  Your cursed heart finds gratification  Your broken pieces in different directions go And yet you call yourself a whole, Indigo

Alone But Happy

Image
  Ever heard of the phrase "Alone but happy". Yeah! about that, its a lie.  Searching and wandering in this infinite expanse of the universe, where you experience the dearth of love and fraternity everyday.  He had a bright smile, a smile that would attract you from miles apart. It actually did attract all the attention an average high school had to offer. Classmates would gather around him all the time, team mates would always be around him. Seniors, juniors and even teachers would always try to engage with him.  As the days went by the smile that had become the epitome of joy and serenity, began to fade away, and so did all the attention that came with it. Gone were the days when his smile would attract people, how could it? it was no longer there. Slowly people started to drift apart from him. He was no longer the center of gravity of everything. He had become a loner, an outcast of the high school community.  She had her own world inside a dark den, which pe...

A melodious goodbye

 For one last time  This one long rhyme I casually spew  Just for you With the winter divine And a dark chilly night Our paths intertwine When the time was just right The moon is beautiful, isn't it Hand in hand as we used to sit With every brief smile I shall taste a poison vile An year long guest As I put to rest A heart taken A heart shaken Some love given And some forgiven In the lengthy and long, pages of history You will always be, my favourite mystery A charming gaze And eyes of haze Some perlish rays And your naughty ways Shan't be forgotten  Till I lie rotten, In a grave six feet beneath Under a beautiful wreath I wave my hand  As accross you I stand A farewell smile A poison vile The night was long And so was our song But as the sun rises,  Gone are our surprises

Broken Promises

Image
When the sun no longer rises from the east again When in deep thoughts you are trapped again When darkness surrounds you once again When the clouds of despair flood you with pain When in pain trembling you scream once again Engulfed in darkness when you cry Haunted sentiments when make you cry Drowning deep into this ocean you try Escaping from the reality your eyes ain't dry And she took his name But foxtrot never came All what did came Was the echo of his name A promise I promised for eternities I shall keep Never to leave thee,  ocean no matter how deep Time for you in pensive mood to weep As no promise was foxtrot able to keep

We Lost Each Other

Image
  I could ask you to stay, But there’s really nothing left to say. This breakup has been emotional and long, But I know I’m strong. I guess we naturally grew apart, But it still hurts in my heart. We went days without speaking or sending a text, And I could only wonder what was next. There were times we couldn’t look each other in the eye. How did we get this far, and why did something so special have to die? As I write this, memories flood me. They remind of all we used to be. Even when things were bad, I never thought this relationship would end. Our broken hearts I thought we could mend. Now you’ve left without a goodbye. I’ve got no energy to even cry. I knew it was over when we started doing things on our own. You got so distant and I was alone. I tried getting you to notice that I was still there, But you made up your mind and didn’t care. There are many nights when you’re all that’s on my mind. I hope happiness is what you find. There are days when I ju...

April

 Her laughter sounded like the showers of April Her smile added beauty to the sublime April Her words would make the breeze go numb in April Her silence would make the birds go chirping in April her eyes shone bright in the harmonious rays of April Her soft skin made the envious petals fall in April  Alas! my heart shall forever long for another April Destiny though has denied me of another April For that was my last April with April
