Selective, Not Difficult

Pretty thoughts, quiet dreams, and a heart that knows its worth.

Let me 🥀

Let me rewire the time You once lost inside your mind Let me rewrite the letters You once sang along the rhymes Let me open the windows of your heart You once closed in the dark Let me see you See your reflection staring back at me Let me hear you A voice, an echo, a song of the sea Sail, sail… read more

Love me or hate me

FEEL

I know what I feel , but what do you feel? ==================================== Pure Introspection: What I feel – I know. in long terms; This structure eliminates friction with the other. There is a hermetic closure here: the emotional experience and the awareness of it converge. The self is both… read more

Inferno

I found you where the shadows bled, Where dying stars burned violent red. One look—and every oath came undone; You were the knife. I welcomed the cut. Your touch was scripture, fierce and cruel, A sacred wound, a broken rule. You pulled me laughing through the flame, And carved your hunger through… read more

Give my poem a title!!

You.

I keep you in between these pages, in my heart as well.

I wish.

Unhinged or Structured

Should Love be unhinged and free, or disciplined and consistent? ☺️ What brings the taste of love, that can never be replaced?

between flashes

by: kayleigh macleod (me) have you ever wondered what it is to be a lightning bug? their brilliance brings beauty. most see the glow & in a blink carry on their way. some stop to watch them twinkle but when the dark reclaims their radiance they too walk away. lack of light does not cancel… read more

Yes? No?

Clouds

They say earth is round, And beauty is all around, If carefully seen it can be found, In all things that are around ..... 💙 💚 (edited)

Chaos through uncertainty

I wish I could arrive at your doorstep. To meet you. To touch souls the way we used to without words. I think about the way you smiled, how your eyes held me. How your gaze pierced through my walls like sunlight through shutters. It wasn't just surface beauty. It was something deeper. Brown eyes… (edited) read more

STRANGER

Haven

Always Everything falls apart Lands where it died from the start Again Seeds Have a way of growing A sudden burst of life is showing Wild and free Change Quiet haven, soil rested Safe? Breakthrough tendril tested Finding hope Vines Wrap with arms greedily The flowers bloom so speedily… read more

Cool

Just sharing something I created.

Coconuts

To climb the coconut tree you must have a rope, A decent amount of courage And also hope. Hope to god you do not fall And because a laughing stock to all. But worse than shame there is the fact It hurts a lot to fall like that. You will hobble home with a broken butt And tell your mum “no… read more

Longing.....

Will you come with me, somewhere far away? Let us sit together under the open sky, and let me ask how you are doing. May we keep talking to each other, even if the dark night falls. I will keep gazing at you, and weaving stories for you. I look at the moon, I look at the stars, but I see no face,… read more

I believe in love that takes its time, In letters, coffee, and "are you home yet?" texts. I’ve walked through nights looking for warmth, Now my heart’s just asking — can I find someone to love?

🐺

We the people have failed in our responsibility As the stewerds of democracy We let this once great society Be turned into a nation of narcissism and greed Capatlism is not the same thing as being free Worshipping the all mighty dollar is not liberty So its up to us to change the course of… read more

I miss those times that Love was Different.

Love that waits. Love that understands. Love that endures anything. That Type of Love that started from being strangers to friends then Friends to Lovers. It's just a sad fact that Love nowadays are treated as transactional, and it's quick and fast.. nothing too serious.. nothing deep. I love… (edited) read more

Respite

Smile

I once once knew you to be a soul so bright You radiated like a full moon in the night I loved you and held you so dear I just wanted to make sure you wouldn't disappear I would feel so comfortable in your presence To me you were my very essence But as the years went on we kept growing more… read more

Unnamed

I try so hard to understand the disconnect between womb and man. The differences, the betweens of his and hers. Beyond the bigotry. Beyond the slurs. Away from capitalists and victims. Where justice is not lost to systems. Because of hate, there comes pain. Because of greed, the acid rain. They… read more

Hidden Weight

A smile, tucked away, a secret burden. The world weighs heavy, finances strained, dreams of writing feel like whispers in the wind. A career path, uncertain, a sense of failing. But then, love, boyfriend's embrace, a family's warmth. Grateful, yet the fear lingers, the pressure to be a constant… read more

"Words I Hope I'll Never Need"

I wrote it on the first page, then between the pages, again and again and again, Until my hands started bleeding, Until I whispered it even in my sleep. By the last page, there was nothing left but his name. The world read it and knew. He read it too, yet never knew. Wish I never had to… read more

"More than Dust"

How can I reach for the stars? If I could, I would gather every one of them into my little magic bag. But I can't. Then again... I don't even know who I am. Who am I? Who? Who? They compare me to dust—to dirt—reminding me, again and again, that I am unworthy. Maybe they're right. Maybe… (edited) read more

derailed

life was on track, i thought finally it was happening to me connections felt real you came like a hurricane and somehow managed to take it all the same way you swept in, you sank and dragged everything else with you the way i looked at the good things i still have those who stayed what i once… read more

My Sunshine🌻

It felt like forever— a lifetime carved in stone, yet I woke to empty air, and learned I was alone.🌻

On

Today I woke up With bright hope Like flowers have overgrown my chest I open my eyes In the water Breathing deeply, The countless bubbles Rising The seaweed of the certainty of your existence Warm, tender Spread underneath me I relax deeply In your existence The gentle water sounds of… read more

Alchemize

Words by me, music not by me.

Today I saw this masterpiece and soon I will writee a poem about their story.

Passion

As dawn's soft light begins to gently creep, They lie entwined, in silence deep. Their hearts still race, yet in a tender calm, Wrapped in the afterglow, each other’s balm. Her fingers trace the contours of his chest, A soothing touch, a lover's gentle quest. He breathes her in, the scent of… read more

Chosen

Chase - By Jada!

Imagine a world where the light has ceased. The darkness is cold and surrounds you. You wander on endlessly on a ground unseen, With hope being your guide. As you travel along with nothing to reach, Nothing to hold onto, No path. A dash of bright white is seen in the distance, Finally something at… (edited) read more

She Belonged to the Sea 🌊🧜‍♀️

Some Souls aren't meant to be understood. They're meant to be felt. A mermaid doesn't ask the ocean for permission to exist-she simply becomes the tide.
