Messy Memory Lane

An unwitting victim of a curse Not belonging to her But riddled and entwined in him On first glance Cowardice A deeper dive later I realise Fear can leave people immobilised And some fear the great More so than the bad Of building up imperfect perfection Only to see it slip Through fingers Foreshadowing lingers To the point of clairvoyance Unknowingly Willing what could have been Inevitably Into existence

That should be a journal entry I'm gonna help all you would be poets this one time if you write some thing that you know only you understand do not post it for public consumption poetry is ment to either be written for a specific person to express your feelings towards that one person or it can be written about an issue that society at large deals with those poems are ment for public consumption I am not beg cruel even though many of you might think I am I don't claim to be the worlds authority on poetry but I've written more poems than most check my posts I don't mean to boast this isn't a roast I'll raise a toast as your host you have what it takes for heavens sakes do you see how it breaks in the end a poem it makes

Freedom To The Brithgivers

Freedom to the birthgivers—I cry aloud, the quiet architects of every world. You praise their wisdom, curiosity, resolve, then silence the very freedom they unfurled.

In English we say, "I still love you".

But Dostoevsky said, "The price of loving someone very much is never loving anyone again. Because once you've touched something that deep, everything after feels shallow. You start comparing every warmth to their fire, every gaze to their gravity. But nothing comes close to that depth again. So you... read more

Her lines

Suppressed sadness pours out through her poetry, Yet she never wants her words to make others feel heavy, When she has no one, she finds calm in expression, Unaware that her subconscious is deepening the pain within, Should she change?

My father was not an aristocratic man. He was dark-skinned, slender, rebellious, bowing his head to those who toil.

SEARCHING FOR TRUE 💜

Among the faces, smiles, and lies, A true connection, my heart cries. A real man's soul, I long to find, A kindred spirit, heart and mind. I yearn for depth, a spirit strong, Where right prevails and love belongs. A heart that's true, a soul so deep, A genuine promise he can keep.

Poem: Idolatry

Each breath was a testament to his gyneolatry. Mercy granted for his idolatry. You pray for him, while he prays to me. You're at his feet, and he's on his knees, for me, asking, "Why... why are you so good to me."
