The slow dancing shadows
Reaching, for each other’s arm
Holding onto
The taste
of love

In a fleeting moment
We will both be gone
as our darkness merged
We know
our love is true

So we turned
the lights off

And became
One...

Walking,
in the rain

The slow burn
of that refrain

Touching the tips
of my brain

Speaking to me
about that dream

Of you...

Dancing at night
To the song of pain
I sang the words
With a loving refrain

It filled
The echoes in my veins
And named it
A moment of grace

Veritia Venandi
Sometimes,I feel,my mind, is my greatest enemy...

For in a place full of haunting trees and wild animals...
It imagines for me a garden of Eden where I can thrive in peace...!

How often my mind deceives me into thinking that I am loved in return...
Even when the pain and agony of unrequited feelings knocks at my door...
Like a good old friend...!

The remnants of lost friendships gather like thunder clouds in the sky...
Yet my mind consoles me with a lie that it will not rain...!

But then, I realise that I have survived the greatest tragedies of life by letting the mind cover the rusty tracks of reality...

I wonder if my mind hadn't lied I would have fallen into an abyss never to return...

My hopes would have never got time to build up if I had not taken the shoulders of a lie to lean for a while...

I often ask my mind about it... Only to get one answer back...
That to live with the truth forever... You will have to first cope with a lie!
Most realisations come at a time when you never expect it to... This was something that suddenly popped into my mind and I wrote it... Hope you all could relate...
Thank you so much, for reading this ❤

Universe Poems
Deep in the enchanted forest
Thee was on the pathway to see
Toadstools, roundhouses, and witches waiting with sweet treats for he
Captivated by all he could see,
away from the bleak conventional streets
that be, along the enchanted path,
staying away from the streets of
Conventional wrath, ensuring the magical path, would fill his pockets with treats that
could only surley last, away from the streets of MASKS, and false treats,
set to fail all people connected to these streets
So follow the path
Where the symbol is sure to stay, and last
Far longer than any conventional street
You may see or pass.

Universe Poems
When the curtains were open
The light shone through, but not broken however
long over due, touching our faces with striking yellow, while warming too
suddenly our heads tilted back from the long overdue, eyes flickering from the light,
making us blink for our sight
with light so pure, clear, and new
that was warming our bodies, all the way through, leaving us knowing the day is so new, let's start it together, and float on through, while loving the gift given to you, of pure, and new that is special, and clearly bright, and true, make everyday count for you, and special people too.
