i’ll always keep a part of you with me
not with sadness, but with gratitude
what we had doesn’t hurt anymore
it just reminds me i was lucky to love that deeply

the warmth of us still walks beside me
not as a shadow but as a light,
you shaped a piece of who i am
and for that, i’ll always be thankful

some loves aren’t meant to last forever
but they leave you better than before
and even though our story is done
i carry it with peace in my heart
there are days you come to mind and i can’t help but smile. we shared so many moments in that half decade, and we reached the dreams we once spoke about when we were together. you may no longer be the love of my life, but you will always hold a special place in my heart. it doesn’t ache the way it used to because i have healed. love can be tragic, love can be beautiful, and what we had was our own beautiful mess. as long as i live, i will keep praying for your happiness, and i hope wherever you are, you have found it. me, not quite there yet, but don’t worry, i am on my way.
Poem (IT):
** amato anche nel dolore,
quando il cuore tremava
e le notti sembravano eterne.

Ogni ferita era un’eco
che bruciava in silenzio,
ma nel silenzio nasceva
una forza che non conoscevo.

L’amore non cancella il dolore,
lo attraversa,
lo abbraccia,
lo trasforma in memoria viva.

E lì, dove piange l’anima,
** trovato la speranza:
non promessa lontana,
ma luce che resiste,
fiamma che non si spegne.

Così il dolore diventa ponte,
e l’amore respiro,
capace di rialzare
anche chi credeva di essere caduto.

Poem (EN):
I loved even through pain,
when the heart was shaking
and nights felt endless.

Each wound was an echo
burning in silence,
yet in that silence
a strength I never knew was born.

Love does not erase pain—
it crosses it,
embraces it,
turns it into living memory.

And there, where the soul weeps,
I found hope:
not a distant promise,
but a light that endures,
a flame that will not fade.

Thus pain becomes a bridge,
and love a breath,
able to lift again
even those who thought they had fallen.

La sofferenza attraversata dall’amore diventa rinascita.
(EN): Pain embraced by love becomes rebirth.
Usha 3d
We all weave dreams of a perfect mate,
an unseen face, a destined fate.
Sometimes life grants the wish we hold,
sometimes the story turns untold.

Yet love survives where hearts can bend,
with patience, care, and wills to mend.
Forgiveness heals, respect will stay,
and storms of life are kept at bay.

For joy is not in dreams alone,
but in the balance two hearts own.
A life of peace, both hand in hand,
is where true love will always stand. 🌹

accusing those who ask honest questions
of the very things that that 'self'
is guilty of.
Chronos
god van de tijd
die naar beneden kijkt
en ons gewoonweg uitlacht
als een hyena

ik staar naar de klok
ik doe een gok
nog 5 minuten
en dan moet ik me weer haasten
weer racen tegen de klok
tegen de oneindige onwennige cirkel
van tijd

de cyclus

die 5 minuten, die tikken voorbij
ik **** de klok nu luider
en luider
als gebrom in mijn hoofd

en dan
als ik denk dat alles ten einde is
dan zie ik een lichtflits
een gids die me weer leidt
naar de rust in mijn hoofd

en hier zit ik weer….

te staren en te klagen
in mijn oude versleten zetel
over al die eeuwen die voorbij vliegen
als wolken in de lucht

misschien neem ik best wat rust
My very first poem, written during a poetry workshop at school (in Dutch).
I think it was time to publish the poem where it all began...
