A Bottle of Water

A Poem by Shadows of Memories

water takes the shape and colour of the container it's kept; and so are our emotions...

A bottle of water placed on the table,

It glitters the candle lit,

The water is silent, silver-lined,

With no ripples in it.

The water takes same shape and colour

Like just the bottle looks,

The bottled water shine as to

Shine and bright the nook.

The bottled water could not come out,

Until poured and sipped,

It would remain unknown ever,

If the taste is sweet.

The tiny droplets gathered

By the wall of bottle pet,

It proves to be from the fridge,

Taken out and then kept.

So is emotion when in heart,

Takes the same look ‘n’ flow,

You keep it in dark, it won’t shine,

Give it light to glow.

It remains silent till it’s touched,

Unsealed of its box,

With the emotions bottled up,

Just waiting for the knock.

You give it love, will love you back,

The heart will blush and shy,

You hurt the heart, fight with it,

It will leave you cry.

The heart gathers so many senses,

Emotion’s one of them,

It is how, you to master,

To know and learn to tame.

There are lot of ups and downs,

To put the life in test,

You need to decide on your own,

Who’s the host and guest.

That’s how life proves you with

It is a manifold,

You keep your heart locked forever,

And leave the emotions untold.

very cleverly done.. the comparison you have drawn is very appropriate...I have a small suggestion though.. I think it would have been better if you had kept that comparison a bit... well for the lack of better words...under the cover.. i mean the intermingling between bottle of water and penned up emotions could have been a bit more indirect, subtle.. but that again it is a personal opinion and overall you did a great job in composing the poem.. Well done :)
