A five year old girl
Innocent and pure

Her simple moment of joy
With a loaf of bread
Captured in a photo

Made her a brand ambassador

"A figure of joy"

Created sensation world wide
I write my paradise
While my soul is in demise
I write to escape
In words I take new shape.

In you I had an ally
Until against me you planned a rally
For order and control
It was all just for show.

I loved and still do
All the good I saw in you
And when the moon is anew
I'll pray I never met you.

Pax
i smell your scent,
like mangoes
i tasted them,
unripe & sour.
But I like it.
i like mangoes, i missed those uripped one, well this has dual meaning ;)
"I bet your mother would be proud of you "
I am raised in a home where emotions are only noticed when you are in tears or a fit of rage
It seems to be;
I walk, where your legs tire
I sing, where you forget your melody
It seems to be;
I have lived for you, when death was pasturing your heart
I have built for you, a world full of nothing but art
It seems to be;
I have not been there for myself, all this while.
—for people who forgot to find time to love themselves
When I look at the pictures that I used to take
Of us sitting together,
saw your beaming face.
The beautiful poses that you used to do
Oh how I wish I could come back to you

Why do I tear up when memories are no more
The feelings worked over
You walked out the door
I no longer exist to you
Maybe its better
That you never see the poem
Enclosed in this letter.
I poem I wrote during a breakup, some of my better work with rhyme specifically.
Written words on a page
Only scream as loud as they are read
Lost along cycles of habits that have led to nowhere
Reaching for any hand thatll reach back
And help drag me out of the hole I've created
Quiet winds whisper,
Not all battles are your own —
Leave them to the storm.
Stay out of matters that aren't your business. 😊
Disagree with me
Ever which way on a tree
Branch follows no one
Someone expressed concern about Hello Poetry and what constitutes a "poem" .
