meghna - Hello Poetry

I see him there But he doesn’t talk He finds me staring And turns around to walk Is this what we’ve been reduced to? Ignorant bliss - solely for you Shackled to our bonds And surrounded by brambles Like sand castles by the sea Strong foundations crumble My hand shakes, my pen breaks But I am not suppressed Tearing grass and filling pages With a force I never knew I possessed Feeling unwanted, ignored and lost I sink down with the approaching dusk Losing myself in the thick mist My identity becomes a mask My lips start to quiver Because you’re right there But you’re looking right through me I realize, with a shiver Nothing remains, all is lost My efforts are in vain Pain and twangs of sadness are all I have When you are washed away in the rain

Effortless, Pointless, Useless Love.

I see him there But he doesn’t talk He finds me staring And turns around to walk Is this what we’ve been reduced to? Ignorant bliss - solely for you Shackled to our bonds And surrounded by brambles Like sand castles by the sea Strong foundations crumble My hand shakes, my pen breaks But I am not suppressed Tearing grass and filling pages With a force I never knew I possessed Feeling unwanted, ignored and lost I sink down with the approaching dusk Losing myself in the thick mist My identity becomes a mask My lips start to quiver Because you’re right there But you’re looking right through me I realize, with a shiver Nothing remains, all is lost My efforts are in vain Pain and twangs of sadness are all I have When you are washed away in the rain

Heroes.

Your superhero wears a cape. Mine talks to a camera.

It isn't particularly the loneliness. It isn't particularly my great family. It isn't particularly feeling more unattached than ever. It's the silence. It's the extra time with myself. It's getting to know my dark side. It's everything. It's the cosmos.

The holidays.

It isn't particularly the loneliness. It isn't particularly my great family. It isn't particularly feeling more unattached than ever. It's the silence. It's the extra time with myself. It's getting to know my dark side. It's everything. It's the cosmos.

You’re lost Not a speck of your dust remains You were not a mistake You were not in vain Their last words that of falling down Sinking in, giving up Broken smiles grace their features Glazed looks take over But for our hearts And the marks they left For love rewards love And ignorance, hate

Family doesn't end with blood.

You’re lost Not a speck of your dust remains You were not a mistake You were not in vain Their last words that of falling down Sinking in, giving up Broken smiles grace their features Glazed looks take over But for our hearts And the marks they left For love rewards love And ignorance, hate

We’re moving too fast Running through a storm Of desire and lust Look upon us now Breaking the rules, and how Flashbacks galore echo in my mind A blast of pretty colours But only in the Polaroid Everyone’s telling us to slow down To back off Give it a rest, pick it up some other time But who are they to tell us what to do? Who are they to tell us how to live? I’m taking the risk, diving in headfirst Confident and in love we are Shun the rest of the world Shut them out Hit the brakes too early And now we’re crashing We’re falling down Sprawling out in the snow We broke the rules But it was worth it Worth it every time We’ve got a lifetime of memories to show

Slow.

We’re moving too fast Running through a storm Of desire and lust Look upon us now Breaking the rules, and how Flashbacks galore echo in my mind A blast of pretty colours But only in the Polaroid Everyone’s telling us to slow down To back off Give it a rest, pick it up some other time But who are they to tell us what to do? Who are they to tell us how to live? I’m taking the risk, diving in headfirst Confident and in love we are Shun the rest of the world Shut them out Hit the brakes too early And now we’re crashing We’re falling down Sprawling out in the snow We broke the rules But it was worth it Worth it every time We’ve got a lifetime of memories to show

I think I’ve had enough Enough of your lies Your half-baked promises Pronounced with emotions and deep sighs Moving on seems less painful Than watching you dance Flying with that other girl On cloud nine, again and once Here’s a promise from me An unbreakable vow I’m blinking you into oblivion You’re dust to me now I’m losing all hope for us I’m stabbing my love for you And because I’m a polite lady - Sincerely baby, **** you.

Sincerely.

Silence hangs in the air Locked eyes, comforting stares Slow steps, resonating laughs Hidden smiles, acting tough Graceful twirls, heeled spins Loving waltz, pretty sins Faces inch close, on her tiptoes A sprinkle of glitter, under the mistletoe But time, oh so cruel, takes its toll Spirits diverge, its ultimate goal Away they go One heaven, one hell Never to meet again But feelings still dwell Blinking stars, fading out Darkness swallows, leaves no doubt Falling then, in his arms Safety, warmth, home and hearth Falling now, no strings attached Endless crevice, humourless mirth Silence prevails once again Awkward, to say the least

Make your choices Make them well Make them firm And do not dwell The crevice beckons Gaping wide The patience and moral Of time and tide Subtle hints to change your mind Breaking passion in its prime Gentle nudges, slight whispers Slow steps, slyness sublime Pave the way, set in stone Bleeding thorns, satisfying rose Brighten path, shining through Awaken from your long repose So walk the plank They’ll tell you all For the blinding light At the end of it all

*He said, “forever”. He said he’ll keep her safe. But what are they, but mere promises blown away with the wind?* Forever, he said Promises, he made Gone with the setting sun Farewell, he bade Down in flames Up in smoke Rings and letters Oaths they took Nostalgia that hurts Flashbacks that pain Memories that fade Nothing left to gain Broken and battered Shamed and weak Every nook and cranny Her pieces she seeks.
