Akriti

No love is true or false
Love is love
Same for all
Sacred and pure.

It is just that
Some people love and
some only pretend.

entire existence.

High Seas

my emotions lurch
like a boat in a storm;
violent and unrelenting.
the time has come
to abandon ship
and sink to the inky depths
*calm at last

Sunshine

If I am a planet
then you are my sun
my centre
my light
you keep me safe
grounded
without you I drift
you are comfort
you are warmth
you sustain me
my sunshine

What is it like?

What is it like to love?
It’s cliche to say
Its like an angel was sent from above,
It’s not a feeling,
It’s a knowledge.
Knowledge that,
Wherever I am,
Wherever you are,
My heart aches for you.

If you love, love hard, don’t be afraid to be heart broken because it mends.

cycle of life

Time carves out the stone—
Leaves return to soil as breath,
Then rise up again.

Question!

Why is being ‘shameless’
something bad
but ‘fearless’
a desired quality
when shame
closes doors
and fear
saves lives?

Yes, the title is a reference to System of a Down’s song. I’d love to see what you think in the comments<3

Exformation.

My heart
the
true artist
of your
depravity
captured
the
essence
of
trust
in
its
past and present

The Direction of Yearning

I yearn for something long gone in the depths of the future;
Not able to place a finger on its familiarity.

Discovering what is already known
Can be a clarifying process of redundancy.

When a step forward feels like a tumble backward
Toward the inevitable direction of it all.

When a puzzle forms around me
I stand there, inert.

The challenge beckons me further. It calls me closer,
Etching itself deeper into my path.

Smiling at the fantasy of completion on the other side,
A field of emotional mishaps rains down before me.

Feedback Welcome!

I Think Of You

They say there's no thing as true love,
Humans are also fondly known to lie,
I just can't believe it,
Not after knowing you.

I can't say it enough times,
I need something more to really let you know,
I yearn for you,
You are a necessity.

Even when times get dark,
We light each other up,
Even when they plant seeds of doubt,
We sprout even brighter than before.

We grow, we love,
We tire, we sleep,
We rest, we're restless.
I think, I think of you.

See yah, kid

How many times
must I think it through?
It's been three years now,
I no longer even know you.
Some may argue I never did.

But I saw it in you.
I saw it in your eyes, kid.
Two out of two, they both sat low.
Tears welled in your eyes when it was time for you to go.

I'm a *******
Saying so gets nothing done

Live in peace

They always say to rest in peace
But I've always wondered
Why we don't live in it too

The dead are dead
And we are living
Why do we save the good stuff when we're disintegrated underground?

Ann Frank was right about flowers
But there's more

Yeah ☮️🐸❤️✌️

When Will I Know Peace

I don’t think I could ever like my face,
not even on its best day.
It’s the only hall in my life
where you never lost your place.

The Moon Left Me a Note

The moon left me a note last night,
Tucked in a cloud, soft and white.
It whispered, “Why rush through the sky?
Even stars take their time to shine.”

Strength

Strength is the power you have any put into something. Strength isn't muscle or smarts it's confidence and knowing your worth and limits.
Everyone has strength but may not be seen by everyone but it's in you. Remember you have strength, you're strong and stay yourself but you are amazing.

stay yourself you're perfect the way you are

I pray,
   to find a way.
To express,
    with success.
What I need,
     to say.

Another you

Just like that, outta the blue
I realize that no matter what I do
There'll never ever be another you

And it hurts like hell...
Btw, how great is Chet Baker??

Shapes

You have a circle,
of love declared.
Then comes a triangle
and 2 becomes three.
Worse is the square,
as its four be-known,
I don't fight if you won't.
If I'm nothing to your eyes,
then voices tell me to depart.
I'm way too tired.
to offer my plea.

Made By Stars

Under the starry night sky I sit,
With my binoculars on my lap.
I looked on as they stars started to knit,
A beautiful, star-dusted map.

Poetry?

I'm not a poet
I'm just emotional
twenty-something emotions
those hit hard

I'm not a poet
only a sleepwalker,
my fingers burning to type
my laptop keyboard so well-lit
so I fall into the desire

I'm not a poet
I just whisper to a quiet altar called Hello Poetry
a fatal attraction
so I type
welcome to the cult

Where's my keyboard, I can't sleep

Immortality

Lover's rain

As I stand beneath,
sky's embrace,
open arms,
claim me as its own.

each drop,
cold,
yet warmth blossom in me.

each raindrop,
feels as a caress,
a lover's kiss,
as it drenchs my soul.

just me and rain

A Joint love account.

I found someone to open my joint account.
Yes! The one in the world famous bank.
To deposit my love and my dreams
To share and withdraw them till eternity
No matter the rank.

I submitted all proofs with my applications
Reviewed and duly signed by co-applicant.
Asked the world to be our grantor.

Promising we will bond together-
With all my interest invested in this life
The one destined to be eminent.

We scrambled back the application of seventy pages.
Now, we will stay together for ages
We signed to build our assets with love
In any weather.

Upgraded to my love joint account-
I found love: profound.

Yet to happen, Read with poem titled "A single love account"

Odd Odyssey Poet

These mistakes

I overslept with you –
We were dreaming about nothing
I secretly kissed your cousin
And I know she wants to make us public

I fell asleep on top of you –
But it wasn’t that comfortable
And you only fed me lunchables
And I haven’t met your mother still

I shared the night with you –
We had to share your single bed
Your girlfriends are my girlfriends
Before I even get to call you my girlfriend

I made this mistake of loving you.

Always Somewhere

Vénus

Je me fonds en Elle
        que même lorsque les grillons cessent de chanter
        je me retrouve toujours allongé
        avec mes myriades de pensées
        à la contempler.

La nuit.

Et Vénus, sa gardienne, épousant mes yeux
        reflète verte dans mes pupilles
Elle me murmure de m’endormir mais,
        j’en suis heureusement incapable

Voilà des années que je la regarde sans jamais
        pouvoir la sentir

Et pourtant,
Elle mourra avec moi,
        à mes côtés

Where my wails went

There was no one to hear my laments
So I told them to the wind
The wind told them to the trees
The trees fed it to nature
And nature understood.

Forevermore

~

Forevermore
Shall our souls
Be intertwined

For an eternity
Would cease to exist
Without you and I

Therefore
As our bones turn to dust
We will forevermore
Remain in peacefulness
