Narcusus's Mirror
If I'm going to be honest my love life is sad Not because it's bad or empty But because I've never felt compassion in the form of understanding I can be anything because I can do everything So my partners pass me by and admire what suits their tastes What tears they shed because of their beauty Despite their gazes I become entirely full of them While they can't see me at all Because I shift in shape to whatever is most beautiful Even if it will hurt Even if I crush my bones And bury my home My love language is sharing. I want to share my feelings My advice My hobbies I'd like to know everything about you too But I guess when it's too late I see you I hear you I feel you And it goes on and on like a record broken. In a loop I saw you I heard you I felt you And then a ripple on the lake has your gaze recast I know who I am. But you've fallen in love with my mirroring again. Stop staring past me You're blocking the light And in the dark you'll see a ghost A ghost who might laugh at the plight of a man Falling in love with his image in the water just to find He'd been shallowly speaking with the shadow creeping behind his leaking projection I could gift you shiny pebbles if you'd like? Trinkets from my travels? After all this is the first time you've spoken to my face Will you run now that your mirror has a place? A choice? A voice? Or have you been staring at yourself for too long? But at the end of the day I know the love and beauty I was Neither were ever mine And it's when I'm not a mirror that I shine But isn't the madness of the mind the sweetest of songs, Aren't eyes filled with passion more beautiful than the most precious of stones But I prefer it this way When narcusus is gone Because I can be anything and I can do everything When I've lost his mold and shed his robes Because he was just a ripple in the pond. Maybe a day will come when someone falls in love with my ghost, and my all Instead of what they see on the lake Lives to share, instead of give and take I won't loose myself as an Echo of an image After all I've already been around this long. I've seen many like narcusus, and I'll see many more. But I'm done needing to be seen. If it's not a choice made from everything Then it will barely hold up against a breeze.

The One That Eluded
In memory’s quiet chambers, shadows dance, Where stardust waltzed and moonbeams prance, Lies the echo of a love unclaimed, The bittersweet ache of the one that got away. We danced to laughter’s sweet refrain, A symphony of hearts in twilight’s play, Yet fate, that fickle spinner of threads,... read more

Broken Bloom
Invited to the party, never asked to dance. Just a pretty wall flower, never given the chance, to grow into what she knew she could be. Just a pretty wall flower, just myself and me. Perfect for the moment, Till sweet goes sour, Just a pretty wall flower, with no power. Plucked for vase, a fickle... read more

And while you hide away— Certain that your truth is safe. I know who you are; we know what we dare not call this... This dance between our souls. I know the words to melt your heart. And the ones to break it. We can pretend this isn't what it is; Would it ease your hurt then?

Mesmerizing Curls and Timeless Love
Beneath the moon's gentle glow, A heart whispers what it doesn't show. Old-fashioned love, pure and sweet, In every glance, in every heartbeat. I've found a girl with mesmerizing curls, Her hair a cascade, a dance of swirls. But does she see me in the same light? Does her heart flutter in the... read more

Untitled poem about a werewolf living in a human world, enjoy

Ministerial Wagers
They gamble away our futures We suffer the loss They count out our beans While we face the odds I don't usually get political But I'm pretty cross How can we take them seriously When they wager and punt There's a cost of living crisis And they're oblivious... Anyway, I will hush

How and When
How many a heart will I break, Before my true love will awake. How much more suffering will I face, Before I feel my true loves embrace. How much longer will I wait, Before my true love I get to date. How will I know her, what will it be, When my true love is in front of me. Will I still feel... read more

Thank you Mary Shelley for introducing me to this masterpiece ❤️
Like one, that on a lonesome road Doth walk in fear and dread, And having once turned round walks on, And turns no more his head; Because he knows, a frightful fiend Doth close behind him tread. Samuel Taylor Coleridge, The Rime of the Ancient Mariner

Fading Echoes
In midnight’s hush, your absence traced, A phantom silhouette, love once embraced, Promises whispered, now lost in the breeze, Leaving me stranded, questioning with unease. Did you fade like the moon, waxing and waning, Or vanish like dewdrops at dawn’s first awakening? I search the stars,... read more

A Stranger 🤔
Alone, life spent in the tavern of delight, Hiding joy and sorrow, day and night. At some twist of fate, a stranger may appear, Celebrating their arrival, anticipation sincere, Alone, life spent in the tavern of delight. #poetry #life #journey #fate #alone

Turkish is beautiful😍
In Turkey some people don't say "I love you" instead they say "ruhum ruhun, ruhun ruhum olsun" which means "let my soul be your soul, let your soul be my soul" and that's so beautiful.
