A lonely heart,
in a lonely world,
is always in search of
an oasis of love.
You kept me
together
with gauze—
pressed into wounds
that you never meant to heal.

Each breath
a slow infection—
a fever you wore
just to sweat it out—
cut another slice
of time.

I stayed—
stitched beneath your silence
warming the decay—
not knowing
I was the wound
all along.

Gone too soon,
too far away,
far beyond reach,
without saying goodbye.
Only memories are left now.
I feel alone
in my own shell:
playing pretend,
with my smile laid out on a shelf.
I’ll study grinns until they fit my heart.
And they cover it with blinding light.
Because the darkness
became a treasure I shall only see.
I let no one grasp it,
no one touches my true self.
No wonder I feel alone
when I don’t let anyone see myself.

I hate it when people look behind bright smiles;
when they look at the underpainting of my heart
and find that there’s nothing behind my laughter
but empty white that lacks dream or purpose
and was only born to remain hidden.

Your eyes

Look like stars

When you cry


Your tears,

Are like meteorites

Flashing by your cheeks



Oh how pretty you are—
When you cry….


My little star-tear eyes

We don't know each other,
We have not seen each other.
Yet, we are bound together
by an invisible thread of emotions
in this world of words .

Together we stand ,
   with each other ,
    for each other.
A humble tribute to all the members of our beloved Hello Poetry family.

I remember smiling brightly
and laughing
when talking about you–
as if you were still alive.
I don’t know who I was lying to,
if to them,
to your memory
or to myself.
im back:)
Rain , rain falling
Cool drops on my face
Enjoying my space
Rain, rain falling
I hear you calling
Misty warm air
Everything
Crystal clear
Rain, rain falling
When will I see you
I hear you calling
No more falling
Only laughter
Forget the pain
No more rain
