Relations

I'm rather inspired to host my second contest "Relations".
We live among various relations-close and distant.
We love them and we hate them.
There are many who did not meet our expectations.
There are also many other whose expectations we failed to meet.
Friends are seen not friendly as before.
Enemies tend to become friends.
Father-mother-brother-sister-sons-daughters-husband-wife-...---...--...--...--...--...suddenly become strangers in life and vice versa.
We feel to go back to a certain segment of past but time can not be rewind.Relations- they make us happy,they make us sad.

So please feel free to submit your heartfelt write about various relations of life.I have written several poems on such topics which I annex here for your kind read and appraisal.

They are

14)_Incapable_http://allpoetry.com/poem/5478423
15)_Let us again be stranger_http://allpoetry.com/poem/5418865

We all have bitter-sweet memories of life but here I don't expect only memories.Rather,I expect you to interpret the cause and affects in your compositions.Let we explore the mystery and chemistry of relations here.


Please "Mark" as appropriate if your poem contains anything not for all.
Appropriate background and appropriate sense of colors greatly influence me.I will read every poem and later on remark on each of them before final judgement.So dear friends let us share our colors of life and feel spirited.

    Have a look please.

    Memories are our precious treasures.I will always like to feel and write about those delicate moments and I appreciatiate all such creative expressions.There may be time before and after when I will participate in contests and host contests with the title "Memories".They may be bright and dark as well.
    Presently I am intending to recollect poetic thoughts about relations and their implications in our life in this contest.
    Chance are that many beautiful creations on memories may not be dully honored if submitted here which I don't want to happen.
