As the Driven Snow
Ramisa Chowdhury Sep 2024
Pure was the snow
now muddied-
by the ***** boots
of travelers
who never settle.

Roaming from town to town
sullying snowfalls everywhere.

Why, oh traveler
do you step onto the snow
and create an eternal imprint,
only to walk away?
I would love to read about how different people interpret this poem. For me, this poem is about something that you lose and cannot get back

Unholy Love
Unholy Love
Enchanting sin
Built on limerence and a lie
Fatally flawed from the first step
Self sacrifice and selfishness
Devotion and disrespect
Honeyed words
A captivating gaze
Intensity in every feeling felt
False promises and ones broken
Can’t put it to words
Nothing can describe
The grasp on mind body and soul

Don’t know the moment I broke free
Or if I ever did at all
Exchanged sin for sin
And you for him
Till I couldn’t anymore
It ate at my soul
Stripped me of my identity
Who I am, what I stand for
My beliefs and my morals
Changed me inherently
In all ways thinkable
Can’t fathom how I can go back
To the person I was before

— The End —
