A Spicy Touch The rain has stopped long ago. Shadows stretch their sinewy hands. Billowing clouds, chugging smoke, Squalor, sludge, filthy muck. Ghastly shades in rotten lands. The air is thick and heavy. The air is thick and heavy. It reeks of muck, it reeks of rot. Rot and decay. Moldy wood and festering hay. Smell of rice, bland rice, spread on a crooked tray. Bland and tasteless. It's bland, it's tasteless. The rice, the muck, the filthiness. My only salvation. Your salty skin, Scent of clove in your hair, Cardamom breath. My one and only spiciness. @Bielt > @Tilgarial > @Osamaru > @Siostar > @Pyoo > @Bad Storm
[strangers Again] Bored I waited for a long time. Till you entered through that open door, With simple smiles we greeted each other. An awkward silence while you looked around, Till I noticed the look at your eyes As you saw something nice "Do you like it?" A simple question breaking the silence Was all we needed Small talks started Slowly learning what you like In time we laughed We talked about what we do We talked about our experiences~ Our smiles were no longer awkward~ But nothing lingers forever Not even Kinship and laughs When you finally found what you wanted Our paths separated again Once again I stayed alone Once again my day became dull And then someone else entered through that door... Another stranger who I never saw... With a weak smile I greet him The same way I greeted you before~ "Welcome to our store~ If you have any questions just call me~" Poem Chain @Bielt > @Tilgarial > @Siostar > @SummerForest > @Pyoo > @Bad Storm > @Bielt Took me long~ But I finally did it XD Hope you guys like it~!
Yay poem! Dammit, that twist! It totally got me haha. This doggo was waiting for a Strangers Friends Lovers Then back to strangers story
XD *Laughs* I am glad it got you~! I had this idea since I got the theme prompt~ But didn't manage to get the twist to work till now XD *Giggles* *Is totally satisfied and smuggy* :3
I feel cheated! Where's the angst? The anger? The broken-hearted? The drama??? *looks sulky at your smuggy self* *glomps*
*Giggles hysterically* *Points at you* The angst and broken-heart is there~ XD *His glomped by doggy* Nyaa~ >w<) *wiggles*
Haha doggo wants drama! @Bielt it was really awesome! I was thinking about people meeting in a train on a long journey and then becoming strangers once they reach destination.
XD *Giggles* *Smiles brightly* Thank you!! I am glad that you liked it~! youk know~ I have a small store~ So dealing with strangers is my daily life~ So I rly wanted to put a bit of it in the poem~ Like some people end up coming back~ Some even become friends~ Others never come back~ And some I never even get to know their name even tho we end up talking on and on through hours~ So strangers (coming in) again is part of my life~ It's interesting that some people tell you a lot about these~ Some teach things to you~ Others learn things from you~ Ofc there are bad people too~ (lots of them actually) But when I stop to think it's a interesting side of my work~ It's funny that a good chunk of my life is spend waiting for strangers to enter through a door~ XD (Tho I am usually working or reading novels instead of being bored) XD What I love.of.the poem challanges is to see how different everyone interpret the themes~<3
