Poetry

Intending to write poetry

I stared at destiny,

At the heartbreaks and pitfalls,

And perennial uncertainty.

Intending to write poetry,

I looked back at the girl I was,

With a heart so pure

And Barbie dolls three.

Intending to write poetry,

I remembered all my friends,

Some of who are still ‘friends’

While others have become history.

I stared and looked and remembered

All that was 'life' to me

And finally wrote your name on the paper

And wondered if there could be better poetry.
