She sat by the window
closing all lights
for a while forgot
all pains of life

she looked at trees
the lush green leaves
the street light behind
busy in playing hide and seek

the wind cool and calm
gently touching her face
the coolness effective in calming all hate

she looked at the sky
all the blue changing
the birds humming their songs
to wake the asleep

she turned to the corner
and glanced at the street
where lies her hope and fear
together sealed
with that,
her eyes looked higher than the sky
she trusted god
with her doubts and fear
silently wished for the best

All this she felt
on that day
watching the sunrise.

every morning,
despite the unseen battle
i dare to open my windows,
to witness the entrance
of the cold breeze
and orange, striking rays
tracing the interiors
of my little room,
hoping for a day
brimming with delight.

every morning,
despite the unseen battle
i dare to open my windows,
to whisper a wish—
the heart’s prayer
to the meandering winds,
to the golden sunbursts,
the future, the uncertain days
will be filled with hope,
with tender kindness.
my teacher required us to pass a poem talking about our experiences/feelings during the pandemic and this girl shamelessly shared the development of this eccentric obsession called 'opening her room's windows first in the morning'

I wish I could
rewind the tape of your life
to see you
in the times
I had no idea you even existed
How did you
become
who you are today
the milestones
the mundane
I want it all
to see you
to deepen my
well of love
for you

What I want starts with an intake of shared air, a leaning-in.
My spine a star-gaze arch - a neat reflection of yours.

A mouth-to-mouth silence broken, made whole - by small language
born of not knowing, and of knowing too well.

I want to trace symmetry in your neck, your back: Learn the shape
and position of vertebrate, of the discs in between -

Infuse them with an energy to resist time, to resist
history’s repetitions.

I want my weighted thoughts to wash through the
base of my skull into your cradle-hand,

Want to hear the rush of them down your arm, their echo
through the in-and-out spaces of lungs.

I want them to pour fully formed from your feet to the floor
- through nerves un-frayed and strong.

Remember: It’s a want my Love, not a need.
What I need is you here.

All I wish
is to see light return
to your eyes

If my teardrops were wishes
life would be filled with the sweetest of kisses.

Tried my hand in something new, mirror-writing!
One of the most prominent people to do this was Leonardo Da Vinci though it is unclear why despite all the ideas that have been suggested.
I found it quite fascinating!
It was a bit of a challenge to format, but I'm happy with the end result.
This poem reflects something I ask myself internally everyday.
And what better way to share it than with the 'hand of Da Vinci'?
I will definitely be experimenting more with new styles.
Stay safe everyone!
Kind regards,

Close your eyes
Take the butterflies
And wish upon a star


Make it big
Or make it small
Don't yell it out to all


If you do,
The stars will coo
Your wish has not come true


It will come
If good, not bad
So please don't be sad
Happy new year, everybody! Well, late new year. I hope you had a great one.

I had one wish; one word. Now only in nightmarish dreams, might it be heard.

"You."

That was all; my one entreat of mortal men and God. Though in my wanting of you... I had opposed them all.

Your questioning of my loyalty and our love, were to my heart, colder than the most cruel of December rain, from above.
Perhaps a coat might stop the cold, but it pierces my heart, like an arrow freed from the bow.
Star formed light
Million years away
Still last.
Looking at you
in the night
Is looking at the past
Standing here
your future
waiting  for a falling you
To make a wish a dream
come true....
