Here we go again,
A day trip in our vibrant little bubble
With hearts so light I've forgotten what the dark is,
Finding sanity within our fleeting eternity,
And solace within the depths of
Each-others cloudy minds.
The bewildering clarity
Of a moment shared, lost
But never forgotten.
In our perfectly crazy infinity;
The only place I feel truly alive
With the exhilaration of adventure
Pumping through my veins
Almost as quickly as this drug they call 'love'
That consumes and lifts us out of this world,
But I don't mind.
I'd let everything fade to nothing
Just to float away with you
In our vibrant little bubble,
One more time.
A view of you only these eyes can see,
As lungs do fill and fall, to give and bring,
New life to me, as dreams may hear me sing.
But just for now, enamoured hope runs free.
Two destined paths amalgamate as we,
Plunge into bold, foolhardy happenings.
Le grande cascade. Vintgar. A constant spring,
That never stops sprouting abundantly.

But hurried mornings twist and bend my heart,
To expedite the time I must derail
My consciousness and fall back to the start,
To dreams of distance lost so I can't fail.
To find my thrill, admiring breath, like art;
The rise and fall of life and it's details.
My first sonnet (Petrarchan) so hopefully the form is on point :)
Hazy mornings reflect on my mind,
With you right there at the forefront.
A dancing blur of light and art;
My pencil your informant.

And though it seems a radiant tranquility,
Reality can **** a concept.
As when my eyes flutter open and aren't met with yours,
As far as I go, well, there's nothing left.

Pressure on a fracture that splits into a void,
Opening up within me.
This twisted beauty spilling out,
We can't go back now, can we?

What becomes of me in this frosty isolation,
I guess we'll never know.
With feelings that don't equate to words,
I couldn't portray the sorrow.

So I'll stay in my hazy mornings,
And try to build a home, where
There's all the beauty, light and art,
And reality can't find me there.
one of my module assignments is to write a poem in 'ballad form' so here is my first attempt. any advise or criticism is appreciated!
A shadow of someone I used to be;
Still fit the silhouette but inside fade.
Stuck down here in the darkness I can't see,
The person standing in the light of day.
That girl who loved the world and life the same,
And threw her heart at everyone she knew,
Guess I can just about recall her name.
It seems like who she was just can't break through,
Those walls that minds put up in times of doubt,
And when that's all there is, sunlight can't help.
Blind eyes get desperate finding their way out,
Back to life in this world I might call hell.

A shadow of someone I used to know,
Without the light, one can't begin to grow.

I woke up this morning and my name flashed on T.V.
They said i blew up places , they said i killed masses .
Men , women & children I murdered them all.
Who am I ?
I am a muslim and i am taking this fall.
They used my name and spread the terror.
I am not them , it surely is an error.
We, muslims, are the holders of peace , we spread love.
Why am I being  represented by their false actions.
I am a person, with different notions.
World will now brand me a terrorist.
Don't judge me by their actions , I insist.
I am not them, they pilfered my name.
They inflicted libel , and my religion to defame .
I have been robbed , robbed of my name.
I am a muslim , human like you , all the same.
My name has been robbed , my identity stolen
I deprecate the terror and mourn for fallen.
There are millions like me and humanity lies in our depths.
But we are all victims of Identity Theft* ...............
We Muslims condemn  the Paris attack.

Perfectly fine
I'm anything but
Sad
Upset or
Depressed
I'm always
Smiling since you've left
It's hard to catch me
With tears in my eyes
Every night I sleep,
I am totally fine
It'd be a lie if I said
I think about you all the time

"How're you?"
This has a totally different meaning when read backwards. Representing both an external facade and inner turmoil

You have conquered me.
You set me on fire
And it's the kind of fire I'm almost willing to keep,
Only it stings a bit too much.

Tear-stained floor,
Ceilings burn from my gaze.
Why can't I make someone stay?

The giants of industry
Reaching upwards
To pluck the stars from the sky
And blind the moon
Cast a glow
Unnatural
And poisonous
Where livings are made
And lives are lost.
A town built around the chimneys.
A town destroyed by the smoke.

I know...
I am not one of the pages of your book
or the words in your poem
But...
I will tirelessly watch over you from every nook.

I know I am your never
but you will forever be my always...

I know...
I am not the potrait you are painting
or the inspiration behind your masterpieces
But...
in my heart , it is your name I am engraving.

I know I am your never
but you will forever be my always...

I know...
I am not the reason for your smiles
or the tickles of your laughter
But...
for you, I would walk a thousand miles.

I know I am your never
but you will forever be my always...

I know...
I am not your shining star
or the light in your life
But...
till forever is through, I'll admire you from afar.

I know I am your never
but you will forever be my always...

I know...
I am not the one your heart beats for
or the one you desire
But...
my hearts says as long as it brings you happiness,
it wants nothing more.

I know I am your never
**but you will forever be my always...
"Every feeling unreturned has its own rainbow."
Let your heart lead the way...
