In awe of you.

...See more To be the air that passes 'twixt the soft pastel gates, And be transformed to honeysuckle melody.  Then dance upon enchanted breath, Oh blissful fate! A sigh to which the aether pledged fidelity And evermore be swept in your oceanic grace, And nevermore wish to wake from those azure deeps. As love-sick leaves in adoration around you race. Within you all begins anew and all completes.

...See more if my scream could be carried a million miles, no one would answer. yet if it were carried a million more, it would be nothing more than the same. night and day, bit by bit, i slip away slowly, into the obscurities hidden within the confines of something mundane. i don't mean to bother you, but would you please listen my way? just this once would be more than enough. at this rate, lended ears are equal in their worth to love.

...See more Have you ever sat and thought That what if the world I live in a fragment of my imagination A piece of the world I imagine for myself And I am just a character built with emotion to make the plot seem unquestionable.

...See more @crimsonpapaya7218 Remember when I said I’d write you a poem someday? Well, here it is!(gargi Jo kheti hai vo karti hai haha)  It’s not perfect, but it’s what I’ve got. Hope you vibe with it! (But, don't get used to it loll) From the day we met, I knew it was true,   There’s no one else who gets me like you.   In your laughter, I find my peace,   In your company, my worries cease. You’ve been my guide, my steady ground,   In you, the best of friends I’ve found.   Through every storm and every tear,   You’ve always been the one who’s near. Your smile can light the darkest night,   With you, the world just feels so right.   For you, a thousand times over, I'd stay,   Right by your side, come what may. You are the beacon in my storm, A heart so kind, so pure, so warm. Your wisdom guides me through each plight, Your courage turns the dark to light. So here’s to you, my truest friend,   With you, my heart will always mend.   For in this life, there’s nothing better,   Than having you, my friend, forever. Here's a shayri too Tere bina yeh duniya adhuri si lagti hai, Tere saath har ghadi bas puri si lagti hai. Tu hi hai woh khuda, jise har pal pukara hai, Tere bina to zindagani bhi khud se haari si lagti hai. Hahahahhahahaa

When You Wander Lost and Alone
by silverArrow67

...See more When you wander, lost and alone, A rootless soul, far from your own, Know within my heart, a haven lies, A warm embrace beneath the skies. When your voice seems to fade in the crowd, And silence wraps you like a shroud, In the chambers of my mind, you'll find, A sanctuary for your thoughts, unconfined.

Your Self Hangs Over Me (old poem by me)
by TheSunIsUpTheSkyIsBlue
Last post
 Monday
...See more I am forever living in the shadow of who I could be I'd like to be a bed of rocks sunken under a stream Where less is expected of me But I know this low flow  of words trickling, how it seems  To you it’s just the same Bake me into senseless, show me not to see You want me to become a sack of nothing  So you can seem more free Manipulated into motionless, scalloped on my every grain By your lack of reinforcement I know how to behave  For your thoughts unwanted Use me as your scribble page I’ll store all new findings until I can throw them away  The way you talk is ignorant  The way you breathe releases fleas I’m itchy just being near you; your self hangs over me

...See more ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ I wrote this when I was depressed as always 🙃✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ ------------------------- ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ In the voids of my soul, a storm rages on Repressed emotions, a heavy burden to carry alone Tears unshed, cries unheard, a weight that's hard to bear But now's the time to release to let go, to share ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ ------------------------- ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Find a quiet space, where I can be alone Let my guard down, and let my emotions free Take a deep breath in, and let it out slow Allow my tears to fall, like the autumn rain's gentle flow ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ ------------------------- ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Write it out, paint it out, scream it out if I must Let my emotions flow, like a river's mighty trust Talk to someone, trust them with my heart ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ ------------------------- ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Let their listening ear, be the start Of my healing journey, of my release From the weight that's held me, in its relentless squeeze Remember, it's okay, to not be okay And it's okay, to let my emotions sway ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ ------------------------- ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ So let my tears fall, like the morning dew And let my heart heal, with a love that's true I am strong, I am brave, I am worthy of love And my emotions, are a gift from above ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ ------------------------- ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ Let go of my shame, let go of my fear Embrace my emotions, and let them appear In all their beauty, in all their pain Let them rise to the surface, like a summer rain And when the storm subsides, and the sun starts to shine ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ ------------------------- ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ I'll find a peace that's been, forever divine A peace that's rooted, in my heart's deepest core A peace that will guide me, forevermore ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ ------------------------- ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ So don't be afraid, to let my emotions show For in their release, I'll find a way to heal and grow And though it's hard, to let go of my past "Know that my future, is brighter than it will ever last''✨. ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨ ✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨
Traces Left Behind

...See more When I die You’ll think I’m gone But I won’t You’ll hear me in the music The same music I would sing to every day  You’ll see me in the eyes of my friends and family The people that I’ve touched Whenever you see a dog You’ll remember how I treated mine  Spending time with them and loving them Whenever you see someone with long hair You’ll remember the times you ran your fingers through mine You’ll see me in the moon Remembering how much I admired it I won’t be gone I’ll be in everything you see and hear I’ll always be here with you Because there’s always a trace of me left behind
Any ideas for a title to this poem?

...See more So much space in what's unsaid.  Pour my heart into letter, hoping that it might get read.  So much hope but it feels like dread I wait all night, alone in bed.  Simple minds might feel ignored, might get even, keeping score.... But all I feel are tidal waves Inside my skull, against my brain. A violent current, sinking ships  All hope is lost, this storm won't wane. And on that night  The crew was brave, but all it took was one rogue wave. Beaten badly, the hull was battered Having hope no longer mattered. There SOS, lost in the weather Much like the hope.... Put in my letter. I needed help, so I shot my flare. No help came, no one was there. In the end we all were lost. When you sail on hope.... You pay the cost.
