Try to write like Hemingway. But, don't follow his ways.

-

A man can be destroyed
but not defeated...!

-

He taunts me, from a distance.
Breaking the crest of the sea with his dorsal fin.
Slithering as if in a ritualistic dance.
Or is it because he is celebrating an early victory?

He bears witness to our tireless struggle as I do.
His strength, his agility and the sea his greatest ally.
Whilst I bank on nothing more than my experience, my line
and my undeterred determination, which refuses to comply.

He swims in his element, when I endure the scorching sun.
He basks in his glory, a marlin prime.
Me, the forgotten bodach, whose glory days are long gone.

Wheezing, sweating, I shout aloud - Thinking you can take the wind out of sails?
You can only break my body not my mind,
not when my grit still prevails.

He replies in kind with a mighty pull.
My line strains, cutting my hands deep.
I know he fights for his life, but so do I.
Our tug of war is ours to reap.

In a world full of Instagram poets,
Be the fucking Hemingway - Post Drunk, Bleed through your words and destroy the love of your life with a sexy poetry. And if you make a fool of yourself doing that, fucking own it!!

-

Time still remains cruel,
There is never a right time to love
And a decision was made to live without you
Still your memories decide to bemuse me.
They have always brought me out of seclusion,
From the mountain tops making their way in my thoughts,
To Kindle a fire in me
And my blood burns till I can ink down our story
Or like Hemingway pull out a gun and blow my memory.

“If the others heard me talking out loud they would think that I am crazy. But since I am not crazy, I do not care.”
