They called you kind, a gentle soul,
Soft as petals, sweet and whole.
You bore the weight of every storm,
A refuge where the ruthless swarm.

You folded yourself in careful lines,
Shrank to fit their grand designs.
Smiled through wounds they couldn't see,
Convinced that love meant loyalty.

But kindness should not taste like chains,
Nor drown beneath another's pains.
To give is grace, but not to lose,
The voice, the light, the right to choose.

Why must your comfort come last in line?
Why must you dim so they may shine?
A heart so vast, yet bound so tight,
A sky eclipsed to spare the night.

No more. No more the whispered "yes,"
That bends your spine in self-duress.
No more apologies for thin air,
For taking space, for standing there.

To choose yourself is not unkind,
Not cruel, not selfish, just aligned.
Boundaries drawn with steady hands,
Are sacred vows, not harsh demands.

And those who love you, who truly see,
Will bless your rise, will set you free.
The rest will fall, like autumn leaves,
Carried off on silent eves.

So stand, unshaken, bold and true,
Unbowed by guilt they place on you.
For peace is not in being small,
It's daring, fully, to be your all.

I could tell right from the start there was much more to your heart,
for all those little things that made you smile.
I really didn't want to want you like I did.... (do)
but there were depths to you that were so beautiful I needed more,
I craved to know that side of you.... of one so pure.
but you should have saved yourself.
I wanted to know every secret you kept hidden away inside.
I wanted to know when you spoke what was going through your brilliant mind.
there was so much more than meets the eyes.
you always chose your words before you spoke.... just another reason you should have saved yourself.
I dove in without giving you a second to breathe, forgetting everything I wasn't and everything you were.
I could tell from the very start that I weighed heavy on your heart.
If only I had the strength to turn around,
or only you the strength to save yourself.
You were just so pure, not yet tainted by this world as I.
you knew of sorrow, but not yet have it break you.... until I.
really you should have saved yourself and find someone else.
but it was to late now....
to far in to turn around.
we let our feelings take control....
when you really should have been saving yourself....
A heart like yours is rare to find....
He carries wisdom in his soul,
A heart woven with kindness, honesty, and care.
His presence is a refuge-
A place where I am safe, where I can exhale.

He is gentle, yet strong.
Patient, yet unwavering.
Grounding, yet boundless in his dreams.
With him, I am steady. With him, I am free.

Through him, I see the reflection of love itself.
Brilliant in mind, bold in spirit,
Sincere in his words, fearless in his heart.
His existence is a gift, and I cherish every moment.

But above all, I love who I am beside him.
He lifts me, yet never asks me to be anything but myself.
With him, I am strong.
With him, I am peaceful.
With him, I am selfless.
With him, I am endlessly inspired.

Thank you for giving him life,
For shaping the soul that I now hold dear.
I vow to guard his heart as long as I walk beside him.
To understand him deeply-
His needs, his desires, his hopes, his dreams.

For as long as fate allows,
I will love him wholly,
Not just for who he is-
But for the world he creates within me.
Cheers to the woman who taught him love

love is supposed to be late night phone calls.
going out for dates anywhere, it didn't matter where as long as you were with them.
cuddling and movies.
kisses and laughter.
baking together when your bored.
smiled and stolen glances.
love is supposed to be soft and calm, like you were living in some sort of fairytale.
but that was not our love.
our love was yelling and screaming, just to make up for a few hours.
our love was burning skin because we couldn't keep our hands off each other, mad or happy.
our love was engraving our names into each other
our love was some sort of claim, we happily destroyed each other with passion.
our love was crying my eyes out at 2 in the morning because you left, you threatened and you'd come back.
our love was lies and truths and everything we didn't need to experience at such a young age.
you'd look at me and I'd melt in place.
our love was not soft or beautiful....
it was a wrecking ball covered in fire, destroying everything in it's path.... even us.
Our love could have burnt the whole world down, but ended up just burning us out....

Dark room with hints of neon lights
Moonlight patches in the corners
Eyes focused on your silhouette
Hands exploring every bit of you

Breathing becomes heavy, wanting
Throat runs dry, thirsting
Lips touching softly, teasing
Hearts moving slowly, yearning

That sweet vanilla scent
Leaves me in a haze
Those ocean blue eyes
Pulling me deeper into you

Those torrid kissed melting me
As clothes started scattering around
Those soft whispers in my ear
Raise the hairs on my nape

My lips caressing every corner of you
Wanting to taste that sweet nectar
My hands tracing your own
As I go further into you

Hips in overdrive
Reaching for paradise
Passion bursting forth
Like honey flowing through

Kissing you more intensely
As every ****** leads me deeper
Wanting more of you
As you draw every breath

As the end comes near
Let me come in your deepest
Let's reach paradise together
With bodies sweating, with hands held tight

The moon whispered, Shine beneath me,
I will guard you with my silver glow.
The sun urged, Outshine the diamonds,
Let my light seep into your soul, mesmerize you.

She is an artist—
Eyes locked on the mirror, faith woven into every step.
They call it a divine art, a gift, a fleeting dream.
Yet, she breathes it, moves like water,
tiptoeing with grace to impress the sky.

She twirls, wrapped in a gown of flowing light,
hair glistening, spirit soaring.
For in the realm of rhythm, she reaches utopia—
A world where her feet speak,
where her soul unfurls like a ribbon in the wind.

But the world tells her to study.
To follow the path paved by others' expectations.
They do not care for the utopia she once knew—
For they, too, once danced,
before being told their efforts were in vain.

The moon, once her silent guardian,
The sun, once her golden blessing,
fade into a distant once upon a time...

Yet, she remembers. She dreams.
She longs to be reborn as a peacock,
to dance again beneath an unyielding sky.

And so, she pushes harder.
Carves her own path where none existed.
Shatters limits, defies tradition—
until her story spreads like a folktale.

The protagonist of her own legend,
she etches her fate in the language of music—
pop beats, classical notes, a symphony of triumph.
She dances upon them all,
spinning through the highs, gliding through the lows.

And as the final note fades,
she stands, unbowed, unbroken.
With the pen in her hand, she smiles—
for she has written her own ending.

The dancer herself.

DREAMS DO COME TRUE, LISTEN TO YOUR HEART AND GO FOR IT!
ATLEAST YOU WON'T HAVE ANY REGRETS
Alucentemit Mar 18
If you live for their acceptance, you'll die by their rejection
I embody the poison in the elixir of my fruit
Enthralled with thoughts, habits, expressions of thine self

Adoration for passion infects me with your selection
Your concoction soaked the tree of my root
If you live for their acceptance, you'll die by their rejection

Sought by the bread of affliction
I'm concrete in my own pursuit
Enthralled with thoughts, habits, expressions of thine self

Infatuation fueled my permission
A fire of conviction, enticed by a bite of a core once rebuked
If you live for their acceptance, you'll die by their rejection

Idle in submission
Innocence lies on the bed of my tongue to taste its fruit
Enthralled with thoughts, habits, expressions of thine self

Caught beneath the lukewarm embrace of sweet lies within inner disputes
Agony dresses my soul as it peels off its linen in its pursuit
If you live for their acceptance, you'll die by their rejection
Enthralled with thoughts, habits, expressions of thine self

Your fire so bright,
it takes me in.
Your warmth so tender,
it burns me within.

Heard many warnings,
still I fall.
And I’d fall again,
no regrets.

For this is where I belong.
what the 'moth' said to the 'fire flames' when it asked not to fall.
love is like a wild fire.

not in the way that it spreads and is warm making you so enamoured in someone

no

love is like the stinging heat of the blaze surrounding my home

attacking

unforgiving

love is the flames of heated passion that devour and encapsulate entire families in destruction

love takes everything you hold dear

everyone

and tears them to shreds.

love is not kind to everyone.

love sometimes looks like hatred.

And have you ever heard how poppies smell?
They are so huge, so wild, so ruby-colored!
They're summer harbingers, the lights of fields!
They are so thrilling, brave and so uncovered!

These poppies easily can put you to the sleep
Or even **** you with no difficult at all!
They're real flashes, doping! They're taboo!
They're passion, craziness and sin in whole!

And have you ever heard how poppies smell?
They are as red as real blood itself!
No? You haven't heard it? Oh, it's sad. You know,
That's how heartfelt and true love just smells.
These flowers are magically, hypnotically beautiful!
