fleabag Oct 2022
The eyes we open, to attest to the sun
And shall bright light be waking or but anything other than gone
Then, we crawl, speak, laugh, and stand
for thee exists and walks the land

It is blessed, thus, not oppressed
That which a man is able to feel some
Passing onto another, thy bequest;
To cry, to love, yet eternally as they come

If a man seek only of joy
Will he found it in the absence of pain?
But he is to experience it as to employ,
in sight of what after one may gain

Yes, a man long of happiness
Yet in times, it is ache that accompanies with it
Though one shant be daunted
As life goes on, we are of grace and not haunted

Thorns were thrown at her shoes
Whispering like needles
And she, a nimble listener
Bleeds while picking it up

Eyes of ripe pineapples
Gaze upon her entity nauseatingly
The pain of flaws she used to deny
Complete the puzzles of her self

Once scattered as the leaves of narra
Unwary like a child in the street
Lost in the breeze of own doubts
Yet she chose to dance with the stars at night

Now, she is blissed-out with full of blemish
Like the monthly curtains in the kitchen sink
Luster of the northern lights at dusk
Rare sheen just like a meteor shower

The world is a mess
And your feelings have come to depressed
How can you see the side of no corners
When you're looking at the darkness of it?

Touch the rough bristles of the paint brush
Come seek where the leaves quiver in the breeze
Filling your mind with the music of your playlist
As your heart beats to the melody of its rhythm

Embrace your trembling body
And feel the warmth of your soul
Take a deep breath of relief
And lead your blues into the light of life

You, a survivor of broken vows and arrows
In a chaos of fear you're living in,
Is a beauty from the beast
And the light in the dark

Since that day,
I've been writing a lot
I had to let go of your hands
so I could pick up the pen I've lost
Overwhelmed by the grief of longing for your sweet voice,
and each letter that compromises thy words
But this utopia you've created fogged up my thoughts
and led me astray:
A place where I don't belong
And so here I am,
lost
yet
found.

Tell the night to sleep
and close these eyes as I weep
Tears left nothing but stain,
creating scars from the pain
Nothing seems to soothes this misery
like singing grandma's elegy
I'm writing this from a broken pen,
speaking hatred to all shady men

You
The sky was once grey
But now it turned into blue
Somehow I decided to make way
And then I knew it was you

You have seen rainbow behind the clouds
And laugh every time I cry
All the stars have been so proud
I think I love you, oh why?

You gave me happiness
Even when I didn't ask for it
You cured this loneliness
And my heart smiles every time we met

The world seemed beautiful
Because you opened my eyes and let me see it
Even when I look like a fool,
You are my greatest happiness even though you don't love me
#you

Her name is Sapling,
a tree with calm and quiet chirpy personality
She lives her life the way it is.

When one a day comes,
Zephyr, the wind,
suddenly caress her soul moderately
Sapling can do nothing
Nothing, to stop it from coming
and devouring itself.

Why can't Sapling do anything?

A choice to fight over oblivious Zephyr
from hurting her,
from how Zephyr slaps her leaves
and sometimes even letting it fall to the ground
like an ordinary *******,
from how Zephyr swung Sapling's stems,
making it dance like it had just agreed to
but it never did.

Sapling stays calm in every idyllic second of her life
but that was before Zephyr came,
now, she was fuming
for Zephyr had caused great downfall to Sapling's life
Every little thing Zephyr had done to her
meant a lot to her.

Yet, there is only one thing Sapling had not known:
Zephyr had no choice either.
I am 'Sapling' and my love for him is 'Zephyr'
