What's on your mind?
in facebook you constantly find
This quote always flashes
to remind you of life's rushes

But seriously, look within
and see what thrives inside
Look for thoughts sinking in
and bade them all to come alive

Make your words artful
as that drip of ink caresses the paper
Make them a phrase so wonderful
That people may be happier

Inspire people who has no idea
and save ones that are lost
Open the curiosity jar like Pandora
and let's HOPE we make the most

From dreams in paper
to songs of unending summers
From snowdrop love letters
to eulogies of sorrowful winters

From the heart through the mouth
leave a print of beauty behind
Be it raw, bare or shouting out
never be afraid to speak "What's on your Mind"
You, What's on your mind?
To Karishma :3 and other people too

Lethabo
Its not me who hurts people..
Its my jealous heart that shuts them away
I want to be kind
But its not part of me
I'd love to be with you
but I was made to be a loner.
To cry on cold nights wishing there would be someone with me!
Someone who won't lie to me or use me.
Someone who will care enough
be real to me!
But I'm afraid to fall
What if it exist in my mind only...this whole thing love and affection!
Maybe everyone is as cold as I am...wishing there could be light to meltdown the ice!
Believe me I try to be nice
But that's just a silent cry my dear heart.
His face stuck in my head like that song on the radio. His voice, those eyes, the touch of his lips on mine which seemed like magic, Was it a dream? Did it all really happen?. I am no writer but he just made me feel like I can be this world's best seller.
            
Here I am, longing to just hear the sound of his voice as he says "hi" and the only thing I can do is lay back close my eyes and reminisce about our perfect encounter. Where does he come from?, why has it taken him so long to get to me because those few minutes with him brought together broken pieces of my heart and filled the void in it. He is my perfect stranger :) .
My very first piece :) . Written 25th of July 2016.

Corset
Feast Of Summer Moons
A Poem by Eve aka Corset


Tonight and all over the earth,
there is merriment.
Cocky birds will dance
at  maske and vest.,
and many times at best
I have dreamt of this
in sadness
still to awake with laughter
within my breast.
and yet
beyond these lids
and lashes,
the world is
still our oyster,
whether it be hailed
by sighing violins
or paired by
charmed footsteps.

Madame Butterfly;
my cupid kills in arrows
and so grieves her;
her Puccini,
should love speak
beyond a reasonable
torment of expectation.

Let her feast then
beneath the moons
soft with light and
with souls as bright
as sunlight, brilliant
upon the water
bound not
by counterfeits of passion,
having railed
so long at love,
that it does seem to
have become a habit.

Whisper again
to a ****** night,
that dreams with
eyes wide open,
sailing to a song within.

Love is ancient and ageless and
hearts will remain young
forever,
for which men and women
will hunger,
because,
amour sweet amour
is a  feast
and fit
for summer moons.

Al-Farouk
I hear the sound
Of oppression,
Protruding  the veins
Of innocents
I hear the sound
Of Impediments
Rushing towards the
Innocence
Venomous it becomes
So be it deadly..

I go up
I go down
Meandering here and there
Moving hither and tether
I need an abode
My love will rescue
the innocent innocence
The rhetoric be
Where is the abode?

I do have an option
Daunting begone
Scathing unwrapped
Suggest I do have
No matter how be
A *** be a ***
Cannot be spoon!
Notes (optional)
Today I wanted to step out
Today I wanted my feet
to feel the heat
of the blazing sun
I wanted them to burn
with goodness, I wanted
them to burn, creating thrill
and a new me

-Kaya
