Modern Love Poems: I wish there was a thesaurus of people by Shrutee Choudhary

[Note from Frolic: We’re so excited to welcome poet Shrutee Choudhary back to the site. She’s sharing more of her breathtaking modern love poems with us!]

1 ) I always wanted to tell you

that you were like a prism

you took in light and brought 

a rainbow into my world

Now the colours have started to fade

like the dead autumn leaves falling

Soon, there will be a grey overcast sky

one I won’t be able to get rid of

unless you decide, to once again, come by.

2 ) do you think these rhyming words

know how beautifully 

they come together

like a collision of two rivers

do you think they know 

that with every encounter 

they build something solemn

which sounds like a poem

do you think rhyming words know

they rhyme for a reason?

do we? 

I wish there was a thesaurus of people

telling us which ones went best 

with which

then I’d ask you

to put your hand in mine

and just like that

we’d know if we rhyme.
