Conversation without words

Conversations without words

I guess that everything started with the look

Just a casual glance in my direction

Not that I was aware that this was a hook

Yet looking back I recognize the connection

Then that swift glance again as you left the room

That turn of the head that you knew that I would see

The suggestion that this conversation could resume

The unspoken words passing between you and me

On the escalator you were going up as I was going down

Still you had time to throw me a smile as we passed

You knew I could not resist and would turn around

An invitation without words that you had asked

I saw you at the store and you gave me a wink

Was this just ‘hello’ or was it something more

Then as we went through the checkout I began to blink

We the nod and smile you gave as you walked out the door

Next day at the office you gave me a quick wave

I wondered if really you were just passing by

At the back of my mind I wondered ‘Was I your slave?’

I was becoming fixated with you I do not deny

Then we met in the local park and you blew me a kiss

Should I show more interest or are you leading me on

You blew me another and I thought this must be bliss

I was convinced I was getting the big ‘C’mon’

Your finger beckoned me saying ‘Come over here’

As we met again on the train journey home

The message now seemed to be perfectly clear

You had a message for me and did not need the phone

We sat together on the bench in the park

You turned to me and our lips kind of just met

Now I was convinced I would not be left in the dark

The pathway to happiness was surely set

You took my hand and I was led away

Into a world of pleasure deep within your arms

You showed me how to love in every way

My life was swallowed up with your charms

I awoke in the morning on cloud 99

You were the champagne and I had pulled the cork

It now seems so amazing and really quite divine

How much you learn without having to talk

Got rejected so many times,

Wrote about it so many rhymes,

But it never, nor will ever get easier,

On the opposite, just gets cheesier.

I always fall in love,

Just without the "love",

So instead I just fall

From where I once stood tall.

Don't misunderstand, still have hope,

Just happens to be on the end of the rope,

And I only have two hands to hold on, to try,

Just like I also need my two hands to cry.

That's why I don't want to admit to you,

For if I admit that I actually love you,

I'd be simply admitting my defeat,

Because rejection is a song on repeat.

Butterfly effect

I remember the day of the battle core; The day I cried, the day we died. You shouldn’t have called me your butterfly; Now I’m spreading my wings; I’m not coming back this time.

I remember the day we hit the shore; The day I told you, up to here and no more. You shouldn’t have called me your butterfly; You should have kept in mind; That everything is meant to die.

A tiny mistake can have the most terrible effect; You shouldn’t have called me your butterfly; Now I’m flapping my wings ready to catch flight; And I’m not coming back again this time.

-Tatiana Flores

24th August 1580, birth of English poet John Taylor, who called himself "The Water Poet", due to his dual profession as a poet and Thames boatmen, ferrying passengers across the River Thames in London. Due to his ferrying of actors and playwrights, he became known to the literary society of London, as well as gaining notoriety for his eccentric travelling: including sailing from London to the Kentish Coast in a paper boat with two dried codfish tied to canes for oars. On the same day in 1591, fellow English poet Robert Herrick was also born, best known for his carpe diem poem, "To the Virgins, to Make Much of Time" . ``Gather ye rosebuds while ye may, Old Time is still a-flying; And this same flower that smiles today, Tomorrow will be dying’.

20 Greatest English Writers of Modern Literature

Best English Writers of Modern English Literature When we look into the Modern period of English Literature, It is the end of the long reign of Queen Victoria which was about 1901 and after stability which the country had so long enjoyed after the beginning of the 20th century through roughly 1965. So the modern period we can say came around the end of the 19th century and almost after the beginning of the 20th century mostly during WW1. We have listed 20 Most prominent figures of English Literature that belonged to England or Scotland. If we have missed someone, please do let us know in the comments. Virginia Woolf - Re-inventor of the novel The English novelist, critic, and essayist Virginia Woolf ranks as one of England's most distinguished English writers of the middle part of the twentieth century. Her novels can perhaps best be described as impressionistic, which is a literary style that attempts to inspire impressions rather than recreating reality. In 1917, for amusement, she and her husband Leonard Woolf founded the Hogarth Press by setting and hand printing on an old press 'Two Stories' by 'L. and V. Woolf.' The volume was a success, and over the years they published many important books. Hogarth Press published the best and most original work that came to its attention, and the Woolfs as publishers favored young and unknown writers. Virginia Woolf herself was the author of about fifteen books. Read the full article
