#hopes poems on Hello Poetry

AE Sep 2021

Where did the sunlight go
that we used to lace between the
gaps in our fingers?

Remember how we would make threads
from the light and tie them to our
hopes to string them along as we'd navigate
our childhood dreams?

Weight of Being

To be conscious
Isn't material
Or something tangible
But rather something ethereal
A fleeting idea of what's real
Intruding on the illusion
That we have all the solutions

Can't explain why
But I'm humbled to see through these eyes
Our echoing cry in the corner of the skies
Reminds me that
The shear gravity
Of just being
Is staggering

We exist in the blink of an eye
What a concept to be alive
To perceive is to conceive
In this moment its the beginning
Of the rest of your life

We are not immortalized
Our fate is demise
To no surprise
We fantasize to calm our cries
But its truly profound
That in the end
Never again will there be a sound

There's peace in that fact
That time isn't able to backtrack
What was meant to happen has passed
It couldn't last, but alas

This is precisely why the weight of being
Holds an astounding amount of meaning

Just by being alive, we're faced with many burdens that we can't fully comprehend, but that's why we need to allow ourselves joy while we're here for the little time that we have. Life can be as fulfilling as we make it. That's the message I'm trying to convey in the most realistic way.

Denial

So I guess now it's real,
all the dreams I used to feel,
shattered, battered, bruised and far away.

Denial is a strange beast,
keeps holding me to ransom and all for an illusion.

But through this troubled time I've always thought
somehow things would be unbearable for you too.

Seems that I was wrong.

My Dear Poet Aug 2021

Somewhere, where there’s me

My dreams recognise me no more
and therefore,
I no longer sleep in a strangers bed
instead,
beneath a foreign faceless moon
I now lay my head

I visit the nameless night by noon
and soon,
by a lake where none know my name
flames,
at candlelit dinners lined to an unfamiliar tune
Shadows dance insane
on walls of my mind and moon

Like black cloth cloaks hidden eyes beneath a hood,
I brood
fire that flickers contours of your face,
grace
the distant chants beyond the unseen hills
It wills, another world, in another time,
and another place

hot august

In hot August I’ll make my departure,
the trembling freshman imposter,
to dance with unknown partners,
in our quests to join the rosters
of future scholars and doctors.

Like Columbus I’ll journey not knowing
exactly where I am going -
and like our brave-foolish captain I’m hoping
that the planned years of furious rowing,
will deliver me to where (I think) I am going.

just future freshman pre-orientation thoughts (as I begin packing)

Best places

Best places aren't those
That visited the most,
But those that keep you close
To loved ones, dreams and hopes

Fantasy

I fantasise
About you and i

Because that's the only way
I can dream happy
The only way
I wont get hurt

"I've learnt my lesson"

Life is not easy, my love
Life is too short
But we yet listened to them
instead of holding our hands

We didn't trust ourselves
our trembling, doubting heart.
I think I got scared
and made us move apart

A stranger you were
but I fell in love
so, I tried to sense myself
avoiding have me hurt

Now dearly I do  pay
as many poems as I wrote
my heart is still in pain

All these feelings, my love...
Will you fight for me
or should I throw them away?

I feel your reluctance once again
but you've shown me boldness back then
What is now? I  don't understand

A clouded veil all over you
I feel it always there..
Are you in pain, my love?
Did I  hurt you someway?
Or just your pessimism prevails?

Many things remained unsaid
It's time the play came to an end
Don't you think too, my love?
that truth is the only way
to push the pain away

I understand that words may come out wrong sometimes
but your eyes...
they never lie, my love

Big, sparkling eyes
charming like you
but a long, sad story
I see behind the blue

Just remember
I  care about you

Now, heal my wounds
Give my hopes a stay
or make clear to me
I  won't be yours anyway
