You can't compete where
you don't compare.

One of the MANY reasons why I hate society - people pining people against each other for their own amusement. Creating unnecessary drama and blowing something completely out of proportion. Something that gets worse every **** day.
But also, this is relevant to people - be it friends or family, who see you as competition for no reason at all. They do one thing, you do another. And when you're the best at what you DO, that person will do the same thing as you for attention...
Personally speaking, I don't see people as competition. I just do what I want to do. Since when is that a bad thing?

Anyway, thank you so much for 85 followers! ^.^
Expect MORE Lantern poems from me. I thoroughly enjoyed it!
You guys are so amazing, I swear!

Be back soon!

♡ Lanterns ♡

Take
my hand
Walk with me
through dalihian
fields

                  Vast
                  gardens
                 under the
                   crown of gold light
                   blooms

By
the lake
Under trees
A silvern rope
swings

             Hold
             the rope
              swing to pond
               Swim beneath the
              stars

See
Northern
Lights dance past
Strokes of painter's
brush

        Blues
          greens, pinks
          Pure   in  beats
          Music    for    our
          eyes

Tears
well  up
and  fall  at
the beautiful
sight

          Let
        love fly
        on the wings
          of hope and peace
        free

High
to     the
world of dreams
Ride   the  winds  of
hope

       I
        embrace
          hold  hands  with
           my  lost  inner
          child

Face
towards
the dark skies
     Shadows behind
me

                                Heart
                                  is  now
                                   tender   flame
                                Don't hang,  lantern
                                  Fly

Lanterns poems, my lastest obsession!
I just let the words flow here. And reading it makes me feel so happy.
Like I'm lighting the lanterns of my inner child's dream...
Makes me feel so warm and fuzzy inside, it's almost unreal.
Truly. These poems are making me happier. A level of happiness I haven't felt in such a long time. I'm definitely going to do more of these! ^.^
Love you, everyone! Thanks so much for 84 followers!
You're the bomb!
Be back soon!

Obstacles

Be patient, persevere and
all obstacles disappear.

If theres a wall, ram through and climb over it.
No matter what, there is nothing you cannot do!

Stream Dream

Rain
falling
in the stream
The savage winds
blow

                    One
                      thousand
                        leaves sail down
                         red, green, yellow
                     lost

The
willow
shakes and weeps
heads bowed strokes stream
sad

                              Light
                               it rises
                                It flies by
                                 A fresh golden
                                 sight

A change from my usual poems in terms of format!
While looking for books on Japanese poetry, I found this website https://penandthepad.com/write-lantern-poem-4928414.html
Introducing me to the Lantern poem! While haikus use the syllable structure of five-seven-five syllables in a total of three lines. The Lantern poem uses five lines with a syllable structure of one, two, three, four and one syllables per line. Of course, it's called the 'Lantern' poem because it's meant to be shaped as a hanging lantern! I can't believe I didn't know about this, it's absolutely wonderful! I'm so gonna write more of these on my page! It was really refreshing to do! ^.^
I feel so inspired!

Be back soon!

Paper Heart

I walk to my desk
With plans to compose a symphony of words
Grandiose words with which
To paint the space before me
But, I cannot
Something pulls at me
I look at this piece of paper
It blinds me
I need to fill the emptiness with something
Anything to allow me clarity
Something to contrast this dull void

Finally

A word appears in my head
Like a surfaced piece of a driftwood
Floating amidst a sea of thoughts
I close my eyes and write
A warmth permeates the air
I open my eyes to see what brought this change

It was your name

The paper was in the shape of a heart
I think the paper is my world
Empty and devoid of life
Until something meaningful is added
That something is you
You fill the void in my heart
My paper heart

The One

They kissed
His heart raced faster
The feel of her lips
Sent shivers down his spine
All thoughts pushed away
All but one
Her
Smiling, she stops and pulls back
That ****** disarming smile
“How’s that?” She asks
In response, he kissed her again
Even after, he could taste her
As he drops her off and watches her leave
He feels an ache that won’t go away
Somewhere in his soul
There’s a hole only she can fill
Driving away, he knew
That no matter what
He’d never forget her
This was the girl he’s waited so long for
The one he gave his sweatshirt to
And his heart along with it

Yester-To-Tom

Tomorrow will be today
Today will be yesterday

That one yesterday I
promised to get work
done!

Quills in the inkpot
Papers scattered but
they're ready

But I put it off for tomorrow
                                           tomorrow
                                tomorrow
                                        tomorrow

The same tomorrow of today
when today is yesterday

It's become my art form
Wasting time for tomorrow,
the thief!

The thought is so daunting
Ever so daunting

Of a piece of my work
that is left unfinished

Procrastination...
It's so easy to get into.
I've put so much of my work on hold because of it.
One excuse becomes a thousand and what I wanted to do rarely gets done.
Happens to the best of us!

Be back soon!
