you lost your dignity in my eyes
the moment i sat down to write-
about your impudence and lies
that you threw at me and said goodbye

a coward in the skin of a roaring lion
threw stones at my door after setting it on fire,
allow me to brief you about the damage caused
karma will always follow you, or whatever path you stroll

skin in flames, tears and my pain
you caused it all while i was grieving someone's loss
thought you loved me like i was your favorite flower
but you tore me apart from petal to petal

your prayer to ascend for heaven, will always remain as a wish
years of torture that you have me hiding under love's disguise
it will come to hunt you just like your memories haunt my dreams
and in that moment i will know that was my revenge
This poem is part of my "Ashes of Us" poetry series, which is about friendship betrayals.
our song is me writing-
"poetry about those stolen stares
songs about that beaming smile
and even a whole film script about it"
the ink of my pen bleeds in pink
but later turns to gray
i weave our memories as part of a big story
with a ****** in which you
devoured me with a kiss
but the falling action sets me adrift
to wander on the seas wide
with no cure to this disease
our song is a song in which-
"nothing happens but desertion comes in light
to pull out my nerves and haunt my midnight
i lose my sanity and cry till my eyes starts to bleed"

This poem is part of a very big narrative where everything ends in a tragedy.
in every utter of my words, there's a existence of you
in every stutter of my words, the breath carries the name of you
your indelible eyes sparked something dangerous and wild
and i find myself floating on currents wild, with risk of drowning
but drowning in your eyes feels safer the mourning
mourning the loss of us that will come without warning

This poem is about the feeling of being scared of losing someone close you find solace with. Its dramatic with the use of line like "the breathe carries the name of you", which shows this poet's intentions towards this muse and how deeply i was into the idea of love.
we had a lot to say, sadly we still do
could've said that in the moment when the world was below our feet
but the fear, the caged beast inside us needed our heart as a feast
so we chose never to say but enjoy the very moment
yet our eyes whispered and held the secret meetings
the tides turned and suddenly goodbye came to say hi

This poem continues that one particular story in my work where i suddenly find myself standing near the end to part ways with someone and say goodbye.
my body ache and feel so old
my soul torn and winter's cold
i've lived too many lives

they say, "teenage is the best years of life
but carelessness can bring you demise"
lost in the petty things of life
i lost a precious chapter of my life

they say, "care for each other, care for the poor
but care even more about your mother"
forgot to tell her how much i love her
i still cry thinking about her last smile

they say, "love is a game
you should play it with caution and care"
i let the insecurity clouds surround my world
so i lost one more embracing touch

i want to set myself free
to adrift on the vast sea
or fly in the sky like any bird
i've lived too many lives, i'm tired of breathing

This poem is about everything that i have written so far. A summation of my life.
my elegy-
my muse covered in death
my wistful cry for help
innocence in her eyes
her last words and hug with a embracing smile

promises made and promises fade
8th of november, when moon turned red
the curse would lift but my roses turned black
the great eclipse returned and claimed another laugh
death of me inside
my lover absquatulated me by that time

lost two souls
on and by-
november 8 and another goodbye
two different years but same eclipse
cursed my sky, stole its shine

This poem is about two most important people in this poet's life that i had lost on and by November 8, 2022. I believe in astronomy and this poem certainly has ties to the certain events. This is all  i can tell you.
everyone is going to their place of dream
their pen and papers screams pride and dignity
and in the fate's script it only talks about my failure
my efforts led me to nowhere but my defeat
i'm envious of everyone who got to follow their dreams

i learnt about the stars, galaxies and cosmos
so one day i could steal a portion of their shine
to add in my name
learnt a language to study in a foreign land
but my dreams collapsed, i cried, i state

This is the original version of my poem "Cosmic Longing: Un Amore Irragguiungible" that i re-wrote on July 24, 2025 because i thought my message was not clear in this piece. But now that i think about it, that certainly was the most confusing version of this poem i had wrote. Even though the message is same, i treat this one poem as different. It speaks of the heartbreak the earlier one failed to speak.
