Four lettered words - i dont knw the meaning of..






Pain.. four letters.. a powerful word..

A sensation -A cut in your flesh, a bleeding wound, a gash in ur skin
Or a lack of it - A deep loss, chasm in your heart, an empty feeling
I stand in the rain
To numb my pain
Clutching tightly onto the sand in my hand, now trickling.

Love.. four letters.. a powerful word..

A gift on your birthday, a wish of success, a teddy bear, a kiss
Or the million sacrifices for that one moment of happiness
I sit in my alcove
Thinking abt love
Holding onto my treasure chest, memories of pure bliss

Fear.. four letters.. a powerful word..

Spooky nights, horror movies, ghosts, an apparition
Or the realisation that your loneliness is truth, not fiction
None can see or hear
What is this fear?
Trying to shut out the millions of images.. the premonition..

Luck.. four letters... a powerful word..

Crossed fingers, four leaved clovers , tooth fairies, shooting stars
Or the appearance of an angel, only sane thing in all this farce
"Doesnt last for long, chuck..
Dont rely on this thing - luck "
Hoping against hope, this joy it brought is not fleeting, not sparse

You very much do know the meanings... thats what I surmise from the ease with which you make me feel each emotion as I read your couplets.

Good job, though!

I remember reading the following testimonial quite some time back "words are mere feeble expressions of the greater sentiments that engulfs one's heart...".

The melancholy in those words suggests a deep sense of loss and desertedness. I won't say it's beautifully crafted, but yeah it has, to a larger extent, captured those subtle moments of adversity rather impressively. All in all a huge question mark {like those beautiful droplets that formed one in that Pic} that remains is have ya at least now truly got the meaning of those words-:)
Cheers,
Celebrating Life..

u have 'the' passion for it gal....go for it...write more..makes ur readers 'feel'...im really moved by these three lines....its more like i actually can feel the kind of desperation or helplessness that the lines convey.....as if i wud know what it really is to stand in the rain and see the sand trickle...phew!im blabbering!i guess u know how much i liked it

"Lucky u r to be in Love,
Fearful u r of losing tht Love,
Painful it is to lose tht Love."

In short dear, Love is the most powerful four-letter word
