When words taste sick
And I can't seem to
Say the things
I want to
When air is thick
And I can't breathe
The way I'm
Supposed to
When yesterday was better
Tomorrow can't be worse
When I do what I'm told to
And things still twist and turn

Poetry
is the best passion
There we find
words of creation
friends for motivation
flowers of imagination
partners for love & emotion
Sources to get rid of desperation
Only missing is the feeling
everything physically
That has been left over to
Our self realization

TRAP
 Aug 2019 E
MrunaliniDNimbalkar
Every one is trapped !
Some in their dreams ,
Some in their happiness.

Every one is trapped !
Some in their sorrows ,
Some in their pain .

Everyone is trapped !
Some in their fame ,
Some in their name.

Every one is trapped !
Some in their mystery ,
Some in their history .

Everyone is trapped !
Don't get drowned in the net of humans ,take a ground ,
Discover yourself from lost to found .

Every one is trapped !
Rise above the desception,
For as long as we know we are trapped , we have a chance to escape .

i’m sorry this world
did not welcome you
with open arms

send me a letter
when you get back home

so i know that
you’re safe

Watch the distant light,
faint flickers
in the night.

Four years are too far,
cold contrite,
dark as tar.

Look up from the ground,
see the star
come around.

Feel the breeze blow cool,
freedom found
though a fool.

Lost in desert sand.
Time's a tool
in God's hand.
An explanation- The poem connects sitting on the desert ground at night while looking at a star with struggling while believing in a distant hope. The 4 years refers to about how many light years away the closest star is. And the star coming around is the sun rising.

It ends with God being the ultimate healer who gives the gift of healing by using time.

I'm debating changing "four years are too far" to "forty years too far" a reference to the Israelites in the desert.

“This is my last time”,
I said 4 times ago
As I paint my brittle fingernails
Red with blood
Somethings deeply wrong with me
