• Loss pierces deeply

  The loss pierces deeply,
  A dagger to the heart,
  The pain lingers endlessly,
  It tears us apart.
  
  The memories that remain,
  So bittersweet and sad,
  The moments that were shared,
  The laughs that we had.
  
  The path of life goes on,
  In ways we can not see,
  The future uncertain,
  The past, a mystery.
  
  But the love that was felt,
  Will never subside,
  It carries us forward,
  On our journey through life.

• Sweet Sensation, Fiery Flame

  I blaze with an emotion, I can not name
  Sweet the sensation, like a fiery flame
  
  The words fail to convey, I can’t profess
  Silence is gold, speaking is worthless
  
  Never does she care to nourish her parched heart
  She only fuels her engines, then swiftly departs
  Hush is the reply, more agony to my distress
  
  Weeping over wasted chances, with a backward regress
  The past is blocking against a rosy progress
  
  Little winged fairy, how clever is your frame
  Classy and shiny, there’s nothing to shame
  
  You have the vast ocean; and an endless sky
  You can have what you desire, staying in your zone
  
  As I see in you the light of divine human kindness
  You speak with a tongue endowed with poetic finesse
  
  You are Eve who left a sore mark in my rib
  You left my poetry ending with a rhyming sob
  
  There’s a lamenting sigh, in every poem penned
  There’s a spark at night with every candle lit.

• Such a sigh

  A sigh, such a sigh,
  It seems so deep and true.
  It has been long held in,
  It signals me and you.
  
  It speaks of grief, sadness, and pain, in silent language clear.
  Each has all felt it, so tender and near.
  For a moment it shall touch us,
  In our hearts and our souls.
  It’s an emotion no one can control.
  
  You may try to hide it,
  From all of the world’s views.
  But a sigh, such a sigh,
  Soon reveals so much more than you wish it to.
  
  When all the heavy heartache and worry
  Have finally receded from view,
  Then that sigh, such a sigh,
  Can bring us to peace so true.

• You ran dry my words

  The moment you left, the words just died.
  You ran dry of what I had tried.
  My heart was so broken and bruised,
  My words now forever just refused.
  
  My emotions so raw and painful to speak,
  My words were emptied by what I seek.
  My mind so heavy that all went dark,
  My mouth dry of what I should hark.
  
  You ran dry my words of wisdom,
  All that really mattered is now forgotten.
  My revelations now suspended in null,
  My speech a speechless lull.
  
  I was a quill without its ink,
  My thoughts in a river, a permanent blink.
  No longer having what to say,
  I just lay there throughout the day.
  
  But when I thought you had gone for good,
  My words re-emerged from where they stood.
  My mouth could speak again from the depths,
  My words had life within each breath.
  
  The moment you left, the words just died.
  You ran dry of what I had tried.
  But without you and the pain I saw,
  My words would never re-draw.

• New Reality

  Atoms collide, a symphony of creation,
  Visions form, the dance of existence.
  Electrons leap, a silent, swift ballet,
  In our minds, reality’s painted.
  
  Inside, outside, a delicate fusion,
  Patterns emerge, a tapestry we know.
  From the past, to the future, and beyond,
  Repeating, as we traverse life’s long road.
  
  Breath by breath, with each pulsating beat,
  We tread familiar paths, yet new.
  In our heads, the world and its people dwell,
  A kaleidoscope of thoughts, a labyrinth to tell.
  
  Behind the eyes, between the eardrums’ stir,
  It’s here, this place where we perceive.
  Until we close our eyes, and dreams unfurl,
  A world apart, where sorrow’s not a burden.
  
  Stimulated, mystified, we rise again,
  Inspired to conquer, to transcend.
  Lifting ourselves from pain’s relentless grasp,
  Into a new reality, where we finally surpass.
  
  Coalescing, a vision, clear and bright,
  Electrons hop, igniting synapses’ light.
  Between you and me, this shared reality,
  A testament to life’s persistent mystery.

• Tapestry of Life

  Needle and thread at my fingertips, I weave the tapestry of my life. Scars, witnesses to my resilience, Bruises, reminders of my healing, Heart, stronger but bleeding, Life, calming but clouded with pain, Ocean, stormy but destined for tranquility.

  The future, a canvas waiting to be painted, Though my plans may not adhere to my design. Sometimes I yearn to flee, But life’s grip is firm, demanding patience.

  So I wait, darkness my companion, Four walls my sanctuary. Until we meet again, I leave you my whispering poems, Thoughts to ponder and reflect upon.

  I am a poet, my soul a fertile ground, Where poetry blooms like wildflowers unbound.

• Familiar Feeling

  This wistful longing, deep and true,
  Though known to you, it feels anew.
  A poignant tugging on your heart,
  A distant echo, yet a piercing art.
  
  You call it by a different name,
  But its essence remains the same.
  A yearning for what once was lost,
  A love that lingers, at any cost.
  
  Is it nostalgia, bittersweet and tender,
  Or longing, a flame that burns forever?
  Perhaps it’s both, a bittersweet refrain,
  A testament to love, despite the pain.
  
  Whatever its name, this feeling so real,
  Is a reminder of love’s enduring zeal.

• Forget It Darling

  Forget it, darling,
  It’s all in the past.
  Let’s not dwell on it,
  Let’s just move on.

  Forget the pain,
  Forget the tears.
  Let’s start anew,
  With a clean slate.

  Forget the past,
  Let’s focus on the present.
  Let’s make the most of it,
  And create a better future.

  Forget it, darling,
  It’s all in the past.
  Let’s move on,
  And never look back.

• Love is a temporary thing

  Love is a temporary thing,
  A fleeting moment in time,
  A spark that ignites and then burns,
  But soon is turned to embers and ash.

  It’s a feeling that comes and goes,
  A wave that washes over you,
  Bringing joy and happiness,
  But also pain and sorrow too.

  It’s a risk that we all take,
  To give our hearts to another,
  In the hope that it will last,
  But knowing that it may not.

  So if you find yourself in love,
  Enjoy it while it lasts,
  And don’t be afraid to let go,
  When the time comes for it to end.

  For love is a temporary thing,
  But the memories will last a lifetime.

• Life is Like a Cease-fire

  Life is like a cease-fire,
  An uneasy truce between
  The warring factions of our soul.
  
  We try to forget the past,
  To bury the pain and the hate,
  But it’s always there, lurking in the shadows.
  
  We try to move on, to build a new life,
  But the old wounds are never really healed.
  
  We live in fear of the next battle,
  Of the next time the guns will start to fire.
  
  But for now, we have a cease-fire.
  We can try to be happy, to live in peace.
  
  But we know that it’s only temporary,
  That the war could start again at any moment.
  
  So we live each day to the fullest,
  We make the most of every moment,
  Because we never know when it will all end.

• My spirits lifted

  My spirits lifted, my heart feels light,
  The clouds have parted, the sun shines bright.
  The world is a better place today,
  For I have found a friend in you, a way.

  To lift me up when I am down,
  To make me laugh when I am frown.
  To share my joys and share my pain,
  To be there for me through thick and thin.

  You are a true friend, a rare gem,
  I am so grateful to have you in my life.
  You make me feel loved and cherished,
  And I will always be here for you, my friend.

  Thank you for lifting my spirits,
  I am so glad that we are friends.

• Today is broken, so I will cry

  Today is broken, so I will cry,
  A solitary tear, a river wide,
  A sorrow’s depth, a sky’s height,
  A fragile soul, a world’s weight.
  
  The morning dawned, a false promise made,
  A lie that mocked, a truth betrayed,
  The sun rose high, a fiery blade,
  That cut through dreams, a night’s disguise.
  
  Yesterday’s memories, a faded hue,
  A past that taunts, a present Blue,
  Regrets and what-ifs, they crowd the mind,
  A chorus chanting, a melody unkind.
  
  Tomorrow looms, an uncertain guest,
  A shadow dancing, a future unblessed,
  The wind howls warnings, a storm’s portent,
  A darkness gathering, a tempest’s consent.
  
  Today is broken, so I will cry,
  A lonely figure, against the sky,
  A single drop, a deluge vast,
  A sorrow’s ocean, forever fast.
  
  The stars above, a distant throng,
  A celestial choir, a heavenly song,
  They sing of hope, a gentle breeze,
  That whispers secrets, a symphony of ease.
  
  But here on earth, a different tune,
  A discordant beat, a funeral march boon,
  The trees stand still, their leaves rustle sighs,
  As nature mourns, a requiem replies.
  
  Today is broken, so I will cry,
  A fragile vessel, a sea of sighs,
  A shattered dream, a world awry,
  A solo voice, a universe denied.
  
  Yet in the midst, a glimmer shines,
  A ray of light, a beacon divine,
  A chance to mend, a second chance,
  A new beginning, a life to enhance.
  
  Today is broken, but tomorrow waits,
  A clean slate, a canvas unfurls,
  A brush of hope, a palette bright,
  A masterpiece, a new day’s delight.
  
  So let the tears fall, let the heart weep,
  For in the sorrow, a lesson keep,
  That life’s a journey, twists and turns,
  But strength and courage, our spirits learn.
  
  Today is broken, so I will cry,
  But with each tear, a wisdom nigh,
  That though the world may shatter and fade,
  Our inner strength, a rainbow’s shade.

• Earth Bleeds as We Ignore Her Pain

  
  
  Her oceans rise, her lands divide,
  Nature’s wrath awakened from slumber deep,
  Yet still we ravage her body,
  Blind to her agony, deaf to her plea.
  
  Greed drives us to exploit her wealth,
  Ignoring her fragile health,
  Disregarding warnings left unheard,
  Bringing forth her slow decay and death.
  
  Now she screams in tormented cries,
  Her tears fall as acid rain,
  Earth bleeds as we ignore her pain,
  Unknowingly signing her own fate.

• Grief

  In her heart,
  a pain so deep,
  Grief like a wound
  she couldn’t keep,
  Screaming out,
  but no one heard,
  The weight of sorrow,
  like a bird,
  Broken and shattered,
  she found her way,
  Love’s healing balm,
  led her to a brighter day.

• Melancholic Melodies

  Melancholic tunes resound through the night,
  Lost love, once soaring, now out of sight.
  Sombre refrains of a bygone amour,
  Drowning in pain, past its prime, obscure.
  
  Each note, a reminder of what has passed,
  Of a symphony of love that couldn’t last.
  Melodies dance, filled with despair and yearning,
  As our love dissolves, leaving hearts burning.
  
  Keys on the piano weep with regret,
  As we mourn what we couldn’t forget.
  Harmony shattered, rhythm disrupted,
  Love once thriving, now left corrupted.
  
  We listen to the tunes, hoping to find peace,
  But dwindling love now only haunts our hearts with ease.

• The Lonely Moon

  Blurred vision, blind stare, pity’s full moon holds answers to life’s lead
  Misunderstood and lonely, moon never lies, shifting sand falls through time’s thread

  Gossip and lies, sandstorm of pain, cries unheard, truth’s voice never freed
  Thunderbolts strike, energy felt and heard, brewing storm, suffocation’s greed

  Toxin taste of vomit, poison words of promise, spell of nefarious deeds
  Wanting to run, to leave, to escape from false witness, false stand, past’s grand seeds

  Life’s waiting game, anxiety’s driver, paranoid co-pilot leading insane heights
  Lone wolf leading none, no grace of company, no followers, self-loathing bites

  Pious path, dangerous ride, self-punishment, loathing, hate, destruction’s stride
  Invisible, non-existent, undying questions of WHY, ridiculed actions, final backside.

• Fate’s Fury

  I share my poison, serpentine and venomous
  Heart’s rhythm changes, radioactive iridium
  Scorpion rides to war, battling fate’s fury
  Power trapped beneath skin, acidic evidence
  Disguise disappears, clouds clear, no heaven in sight
  Martyred, longing for love, yearning to beat the drum

  Fantasizing of a home, fate’s tricks, misery’s sound
  Together or alone, suffering is all that’s found
  Midnight calls, gravity shakes, crumbling, maybe
  One more bowl to numb, letting go seems so crazy

  Pain sworn to fight, contortion in chest, finding a way
  Crippled heart seeks peace, life’s light at end of the day

• Stone Sea

  Water turned into stone, trenches engrave bones known
  God forsaken or forsaken Him, back to water, thirst’s groan

  Sadness toast, hat tipped to despair, anger seethes in silence’s lair
  Searching for light, sun’s fragments touched, disappearing at night’s glare

  Fate’s jaws trapped, something to contemplate, pain religion, belief overdue
  Anguish commemorates love’s giving heart, beats in isolation, soul blue.

• Silenced by Rape: A Survivor’s Journey to Healing

  Trust broken, emotions drowned in rain
  He promised love, but only brought pain
  His touch barely a medicine to heal
  His intentions unclear, filled me with fear

  He smelled me like a new animal
  Reacting to his abnormality, I pushed away
  But he silenced me with a bruised, chapped kiss
  His hands roamed, corpulent body pressed against mine

  Claws like birds of prey, he pounced
  Taking my bust with violent force
  As if I was the last piece of bread on earth
  He parted my legs and entered me

  Cold blood ran through my veins
  Mourning with élan, I was unable to protest
  As he explored me with his tongue and lips
  Playing me like a toy, ignoring my pain

  But I refuse to let this define me
  I am more than the sum of my parts
  I will not let his actions consume me
  For I am a survivor, with a beating heart

  I will find my own strength to bear this alone
  For I am cultured, civilized, and strong
  And though life can be tragically beautiful
  I will rise above it all, and carry on.

• Fighting Demons

  Can’t put these feelings into words anymore
  Everyone I loved, walked through the door
  Moving from my bed, pacing the floor
  Gave my heart, they still wanted more

  Losing my mind, hating mankind
  Feeling undefined, depression’s bind
  Trying not to hear, voices in my head
  Depression wants me dead, urging me to shred

  “Just one cut,” they say, “pain will go away”
  “Just one pill,” they sway, forcing me to kill
  Lost and found by darkness, a mess to suppress
  Numbness is my address, pain is my stress

  Need a piece of cake, or a lock in the oven to bake
  Can’t feel, am I even real, will they still love me if I reveal?
  Heart beating like a congo drum, louder than the hum
  Nobody hears, nobody cares, can’t even breathe air

  Molly, weed, or vodka, what do I need?
  Fighting demons, they feed, on my pain, they feed
  Surrounded by love, but demons lurk within
  A fight I can’t win, for it’s internal, deep within

  Journal’s my only solace, no one knows my pain
  A constant fight against demons, I can’t even name
  Introvert coated in extrovert, they see the chocolate
  But not the nuts beneath, take a bite, discover the truth, I beg you to docket

  Fighting demons, a battle within
  Love and pain, numbness and sin
  Hoping for help, seeking a way out
  Fighting demons, with every breath and shout

• Unhealed Wounds

  Painful bits of our past sneak up on us
  Breaking open old wounds with a sudden rush
  Threatening the foundations we have built
  Reopening the scars we thought were filled

  Fresh blood spills over the old stains
  Painting our present with new pastel pains
  Forcing us to look back to the past
  Down the rabbit hole, we go too fast

  We wish we didn’t know this path so well
  But we must learn from our past to break the spell
  To feed the lessons back to prescience
  And move forward with newfound resilience

• The Only Path Forward

  To move on from her is the only path forward I can take,
  But my heart is shattered, it’s a choice it cannot make.
  I try to forget her, to push her out of my mind,
  But memories of her linger, they’re difficult to unwind.

  The pain of heartbreak is a burden hard to bear,
  I wish I could escape it, but it’s always there.
  I long for the day when I can finally be free,
  To move forward, to find happiness, to just be me.

• Heart Speaks to Mind

  Heart and mind, two different parts,
  One feels emotions, the other imparts.
  Heart speaks of love, joy, and pain,
  Mind tries to rationalize and explain.

  Sometimes they clash, causing a strife,
  But mostly they work together in life.
  Dil ki baat dimag se kar lete hai,
  Heart speaks first, mind takes it all in stride.

• A Deeper Pain Penalized

  The pain of loss is deep,
  But there is a deeper pain,
  A pain that comes from knowing,
  That you could have prevented it.

  The pain of regret is like a cancer,
  It eats away at your soul,
  And it never goes away,
  No matter how hard you try to forget.

  So if you are ever faced with a choice,
  Choose the path that will cause you the least pain,
  Because the pain of regret is a deeper pain,
  And it is a pain that is never penalized.

• Ephemeral Beauty

  A flower blooms in the morning sun,
  Its petals soft and pure and white.
  But by the evening, it is gone,
  Its beauty lost to sight.

  A bird sings in the summer air,
  Its song a sweet and joyful sound.
  But by winter, it is silent,
  Its song no longer found.

  A moment of love, a touch of hand,
  A kiss that seals a promise true.
  But like a flower or a bird’s song,
  These things are fleeting too.

  So let us savor all that is,
  The good and the bad, the joy and the pain.
  For all things are ephemeral,
  And nothing lasts forever.

• The Epiphany

  Epiphany, a sudden realization,
  A moment of truth, a new sensation,
  A flash of insight, a bright idea,
  A paradigm shift, a revelation so clear.

  The veil is lifted, the fog is gone,
  The path is clear, the light shines on,
  A new perspective, a different view,
  The world transformed, fresh and new.

• The Good Life

  What is the good life,
  That we all seek to find?
  Is it wealth and fame,
  Or a life of peace of mind?

  Some say it is pleasure,
  While others say it is pain.
  But I believe the good life,
  Is a life lived with meaning.

  A life of purpose,
  A life of love,
  A life of service,
  To others and to above.

  So go forth and live your life,
  To the fullest extent.
  And find your own definition,
  Of what the good life really means.

• Heartless Magician

  A girl broken in love, A heart that could not cope. The magician, so charming But soulless with no hope.

  Deceived by his magic, She fell for his cruel game. The pain in her heart Was his ultimate gain.

  Her heart shattered in pieces With no glue to join together The heartless magician was long gone Leaving her to suffer forever.

• The Pain in My Eyes

  When I look at pictures of myself, I see the pain that I have felt. My eyes reflect my hidden woes, And all the hurts nobody knows.

  The smile upon my lips may hide, But in my eyes, the pain resides. Though time may pass and wounds may heal, The scars inside are all too real.

  The flow has started,
  Her mood, broken-hearted,
  Cramps and pain, unbearable,

  With kindness and love, by her side,
  You can help her through this strife.

  Amidst the roses, there are thorns
  That prick and hurt, but love adorns
  For beauty lies in every pain
  A lovely thorn, a love to gain
  
  Its sharpness hides a sweet surprise
  A fragrant bloom that tantalizes
  It teaches us to brave the tough
  And cherish things that seem rough
  
  So let the thorns adorn the rose
  And teach us how true love grows

• Save Me From Me

  I’m lost within myself,
  I cannot find my way.
  I’m trapped inside my head,
  I’m drowning in my pain.
  
  I need someone to save me,
  I need someone to pull me out.
  I’m drowning in my despair,
  I’m falling down without a doubt.
  
  Please save me from me,
  I cannot do this on my own.
  I’m lost and all alone,
  I’m begging you, please help me home.

• Save Me from Me

  Save me from me,
  From the doubts that I see,
  From the fears that I feel,
  From the wounds that won’t heal.
  
  Save me from me,
  From the thoughts that deceive,
  From the pain that’s inside,
  From the tears that I hide.
  
  Save me from me,
  From the darkness that be,
  From the demons I fight,
  From the sleepless nights.
  
  Save me from me,
  And set my troubled mind free,
  Let hope be my guide,
  And love be my pride.

• Fragments of Memories

  I see your face, I hear your voice, But you are not here, not in this place. A shadow of your former self, A ghost of what once was, a lost love.

  I try to reach out, to touch your hand, But my fingers pass right through your skin. I try to speak, to call your name, But my voice is lost in the wind.

  I am left with only fragments, Of memories that are now all but gone. A smile, a laugh, a touch, a kiss, All that remains of what once was.

• My Heart Ain’t Bulletproof

  
  
  My heart ain’t bulletproof, it’s fragile as can be,
  Each scar that I bear is a painful memory.
  Love can be a weapon, it can hurt and cause pain,
  My heart is a target, and I’m the one to blame.
  
  I’ve tried to protect it, but it’s been shot through and through,
  I thought love was the answer, but now I’m feeling blue.
  The wounds may heal, but the scars will forever remain,
  My heart ain’t bulletproof, and I’m the one to blame.

• It Just Hurts So Much

  It just hurts so much,
  When the pain is all you can touch.
  When the tears won’t stop falling,
  And your heart feels like it’s stalling.
  
  The weight of the world on your chest,
  Makes it hard to catch your breath.
  Every day feels like a battle,
  And you’re not sure you can handle.
  
  The memories that haunt your mind,
  Are the ones that are hard to find.
  The ones that make you question why,
  You even bother to try.
  
  But know that you are not alone,
  And there is always a way home.
  You just have to keep moving forward,
  Even when it feels awkward.
  
  It just hurts so much,
  But someday you’ll feel the touch.
  Of happiness and love and light,
  And everything will be alright.

• Lips gently pressed

  Lips gently pressed upon a cold forehead,
  A final kiss, a farewell to the dead,
  Tears fall like rain, a heart full of sorrow,
  As the world becomes a darker shade of tomorrow.
  
  Memories flood, a life once lived,
  A love once shared, a heart once grieved,
  But through the pain, a glimmer of hope,
  For a soul has ascended to a higher scope.
  
  The warmth of a touch, a love still felt,
  Though the body has left, the soul has not melt,
  For in our hearts, their flame still burns,
  A love eternal, forever yearns.

• The Paradox of Lost and Found

  Lost or found, it’s all the same,
  A paradox with none to blame,
  For what is lost must first be found,
  And what is found may soon astound.

  The line between them is so thin,
  It’s hard to tell where to begin,
  For when we lose, we often gain,
  And when we find, we feel the pain.

  The search for truth is never done,
  For what is lost cannot be won,
  But in the end, we all must see,
  That lost and found are meant to be.

• The Final Decision

  Like a terminal patient with a gun to his jaw,
  Every moment seems like an eternal flaw.
  The weight of the world on his shoulders,
  The pain of living, he can no longer smolder.

  The trigger is pulled, the bullet is fired,
  The man falls down, his life expired.
  His mind was made up, it was his final decision,
  To end the pain and find eternal liberation.

  No one can know what he went through,
  Only he knew what he had to do.
  Like a terminal patient with a gun to his jaw,
  He found peace in death, with no more flaws.

• Writing Till We’re Read

  

  We’ll be writing till we’re read,
  Spinning stories in our head,
  Crafting worlds both new and old,
  With tales that must be told.

  From pen to page, we pour our soul,
  In hopes that our words take hold,
  And captivate an audience wide,
  With each and every line.

  We’ll write of love, of loss, of pain,
  Of sunshine after rain,
  And when our story’s finally said,
  We’ll start anew and write ahead.
