Hundred years passed today
But the story lives forever
Only words are gonna stay
Scattered in the world wide ether
"Hundred pounds soaking wet"
Winning smile that lit the room
Feisty, strong, and smart, you bet
Turning Dom into a groom
Hundred hours no need to wait
When you know, they say, you know
Call it love or call it fate
One reins in and one to bow
Hundred bear hugs were given
Scratch that, thousands, that is
Surely up the wall had driven
Him that spunky sass and tease
Hundred blows on bare bottom
How many is too much?
Sting not meant to be forgotten
Followed by gentle touch
Hundred parties lay unravelled
Bottoms sore and also hands
Hundred miles of road less travelled
Peanuts boiled are yikes, no thanks
Hundreds seeds of pomegranate
Six - thirteen to be exact
May your life will be abundant
All these hundred years back
Little facts:
- The poem is set in the year of 2123
- The author is a helpless romantic and believes that love stories live forever
- "Hundred pounds soaking wet" is a direct quote from Erica's post
- I cannot write Dom with lower-case. Sorry if it offends anyone's sense of grammar.
- It's believed that there are 613 seeds in pomegranate, therefore making it a symbol of abundance
- Most important: the poem is solely based on a few teeny tiny facts from Erica's post, the rest is all figments of my own depraved imagination.
Meddling again, in the hope that two wrongs will make it right. When I wrote the first poem, To M and Erica, something irked me endlessly, and I apologized for meddling (thank you, Erica, for the kind words). It took me a while to realize what it was:
It was supposed to be all about M and B, but the first poem came out about M and Erica, which was wrong. I thought I didn't know anything about B, but then again, what do I know about M, really? So, here I am, apologizing my heart out in another poem, because that's what I do... in a hope that one day it would bring a smile on their faces.
To M and B
