Obliged






Yellow shades melting into mild sapphire
  staring at oblivion's arm length,
    we waltz to a melody forgotten
    as the wind flickers our candle
    slowly a fortunate kiss
        and an intimate touch.

Orange shades risen to reality
  sore and agonised
    filtering several corners in my eyes.

Atleast the world would know
                      .......I obliged.









Author notes

Sometimes we live with people who we are not in love with! But we don't want to break their heart! Hence, it becomes an obligation.

    I have to be honest with you, as I read this I was a bit tripped up in the first few lines. Either I seriously need some coffee or it is just worded a tad off. I see the yellow changing colors but perhpas morphing would be a better would there than melting...not sure but I do get the image I think. It just seems that thought is separate from the next line and yet it seems to lack relevence if it is not. I'm just not getting that line, but I am trying, I'm sorry. Once I get through those two lines, I'm with you but I'm sorry to say for some reason I just am not grasping the beginning of this (I may be dense, I know...I'm just not getting those lines). The rest of it, I think is beautifully done

    Again I love the way you lay poetry out. It is visually appealing ^_^ The middle stanza is my favourite, this was just perfect wording and a wonderful write.

    I really like the meaning behind this poem. Sometimes, I really can't stand my siblings, but in the end I love them nonetheless. Great poem!
