We wasted it so
We wasted our souls
Like storm clouds
we broke out
and flooded the seeds
we needed to grow

You held on to me
You tried so hard to see
when I rebounded
from breakdowns
that seemed to wear
down your strong spirit
that you needed to go on

We were stranger than
fiction through our
contradictions
You drifted within me
I poured within you
your currents of
reason to my torrents
of questions
We were
drowning in unison

But as you freed me and
I freed you as we were
both set free by the eternal
Source of freedom  
we need to keep on doing
our part in what we need
to keep on being free.

A poem from the living of my life.
JAMIL HUSSAIN Feb 22
For love, eternal as the fates declare,
Shall find its path, as sure as rivers run,
And in the shadow of thy beauty rare,
We learn that life and love are but as one.

You are my love eternal
I may be tired as I am more nocturnal
       But it is all worthwhile
                                          Because I get to see your smile
My starlight love eternal
This short poem I spontaneously wrote for my girlfriend, whom I cherish dearly, and who at this point in time lives several timezones earlier than me.
Traveler Jan 27
The detachment is necessary
In refusal of pain I rest
I cleverly disassociate
From everybody’s death’s

Don’t look for me at funerals
I’ve no need for grim reaper’s grief
I’ll stay out here in the forest
And I’ll remain forever green!
Traveler 🧳 Tim
Vast expanse of the cosmic sea, Galaxies bloom like ancient trees.
Suns, planets, branches wide, Drawing life from the source inside.
Energy flows, radiant stream, Uniting all in a shared dream.
Leaves of stars, fruits of light, Nourished by cosmic night.
From roots unseen, deep and strong, Life's melody, a timeless song.
Each note a world, each chord a sun, Together in harmony, we are one.

Morticia and Gomez gazed
From their card on the altar—
Devotion eternal,
A love fierce enough
To blaze through darkness,
Tender enough
To cradle every wound.
A family photo stood nearby,
Encircled by a constellation
Of crystals:
Amethyst murmuring peace,
Rose quartz pulsing with love,
Black tourmaline bracing
For unseen battles.
Pink and white flames danced,
Their whispers rising like prayers:
Promises to draw us closer,
To fill our hearts
With everything we dare dream.
The poem “The Lovers’ Altar” tells the story of a couple, Morticia and Gomez, who create a special altar to show their deep love for each other. This altar is filled with beautiful crystals like amethyst, rose quartz, and black tourmaline, which represent their desire for love, healing, and protection. The image of pink and white flames is used to symbolize their heartfelt prayers and dreams for togetherness and happiness. This contemporary altar highlights themes of love and connection and serves a similar purpose to traditional altars, which often represent devotion, sacrifice, and personal growth through spiritual practices.

You with the crown full of thorns
Eyes watching with a crumbling heart
Feeling repulsive with a chain of regret
The thought being proactive leaving a bitter taste
Walking down aisle, touching the sinners with holy Grace
You with a golden smile at the face of end
Tears start rolling, with a empty gaze
You who was chosen to follow the will of stars
Leaving behind a soul with a sorrow past
You who carries the sin of ****
Least carry a piece of red entwined with a string of gold
With a soul who lost it's way, let me a stay with your eternal rest
Your wish was washed away, sinner with a greedy bay
Becoming the judge of justice to meaning your cold
I'll make a eternal home only for you

I am not that which sparkles pure and bright,
Nor claim to be a pearl of matchless might.
Yet should the Lord, with mercy’s boundless grace,
Bestow His favour on this fleeting place,
Then shall this drop, though humble in its form,
Join in the vast and ceaseless, raging storm.
The ocean’s depths, with love’s eternal tide,
Shall take this soul and in its ***** hide.

O’ what sweet life to sail in blissful rest,
Where waves of peace shall soothe the heart’s unrest!
And silence reigns within that ocean’s kiss,
Where stars do dance in timeless, endless bliss.
To rest within that deep and sacred flow,
Where time itself doth cease to ebb or go.

What joy, what bliss, to lose the self in Thee,
O’ boundless love, O’ vast eternity!
For in Thy depths, all things their place shall find,
And every wave speaks softly to the mind.

Thus let this drop become no more my own,
But part of Thy eternal, glimmering throne
