I thought you were the one
But little had i realized at that point that I was flying too close to the sun
For you were a flame that consumed souls for fun
A few months of companionship and then one fine day out of the blue.. You said we were done
I must admit it hurt me bad..
I was both mad and sad
I was broken and shattered
Bruised and battered
You left a permanent scar on me
My heart could no longer feel or see
It was as if it had gone into hiding
And then somehow I picked myself up
But I never could love with that passion again...

Most days of my life I think I'm a no one
And yet the fact that I matter to someone gives me a great deal of courage and hope
It's like I'm hanging from a cliff and someone's offering me a rope

Helping someone with the intention of expecting something in return is not really displaying genuine kindness or generosity...it's more like a business transaction.

A storm passed through my city yesterday
The leaves rustled.. Strong winds blew
Thunder.. Lightning.. Heavy rain
Some neighborhoods were plunged in darkness
I could hear the sound of the wind..like an outburst of rage
I woke up this morning and stepped out of my house to be greeted by a carpet of flowers and leaves
The sight was a visual delight...
I marvelled at the colours scattered all across the road
But at the same time I was sad that the trees had been separated from their offsprings
In an instant the trees were robbed of their precious ones...
And I had been robbed of my view of the greens

I'm lying in bed next to my lover
And yet I feel a sense of loneliness within me
What feeling could be more worse than this?

My heart and soul never belonged to me as much as it belonged to you
But all you did was inflicted pain upon them
But since it came from you
I'll humbly accept this pain as my reward
And I'll cherish it forever

What is going on with this site?
Something just doesn't feel right
The views and notifications seem to have gone on a diet
Most works are now left hanging in the dark..no one shines on them a light
This is damaging and demotivating even to the ******* loyalists of this site
Whatever be the issue..it should at the earliest be sorted out.. 'Coz frankly this treatment of poets just ain't right
