Insecurities

I try
And try
And try
And try
And try
And try
And try
And try
And try
And try
And try
And try
But still
I'm not
Enough

Sometimes I catch a glimpse of the person in the mirror and wonder what anyone sees in them

Haiku #038

I feel the world at
times conspires to make true my
basic discontent.

Inspired (or more aptly directly drawn from) “The Pillow Book” by Sei Shōnagon

Like a movie

I don't want this to be
Like a movie I'd see
I want the good, the bad
And all the boring in between.

A silly little poem?

I rhyme to pass time;
for no particular reason,
just my own personal pleasing.

More Than Ever

I am convinced
that 85 percent of H.P.
is composed
of chatbots.

a fake-*** poem
in the style of Rupi Kaur

Memories

On a river of memories
I drifted again today
to a garden of roses
a green field dotted with daisies
We napped there on a blanket that I still own
(just like these memories of you)

I wish you presented
In more recent memories, too
They miss you
Like I do

Respect

"Respect your elders!"
"Respect your elders!"
"Respect your elders!"
"Respect your elders!"
"Respect your elders!"
"Respect your elders!"
How about respect my boundaries
Respect your place
Mind your business
Stop cyber stalking me, Ryan
Before I figure out where you are and smack you in the face

NO???? IM NOT GOING TO RESPECT MY ELDERS IF THEY DONT RESPECT ME AND THATS FINAL.

doing okay

I think it's safe to say
that right now I'm doing okay
I don't feel sad
I'm not even mad
I'm not yet happy
but then again, I don't think I ever will be
I just think that right now I can truly say
I'm just doing okay.

Just because-

Just because I wrote about death doesn't mean I want to die
I know sometimes I feel like dying
Then sometimes I want to live
But it just all mixed up feelings- Julie

Angel

invisible

tears in my eyes
my fears alive
dreams were lost
hopes were dry
all alone
breaking of my heart
no longer wanting to be alive
to play my part
my family hadn't a care for me
my friends barely spoke a word to me
I feel left out
not a soul cared that I exist
and was actually there
but as times flew by, memory of me disappears

Egyptian Cotton

When I awaken
When I hear the weave
Of Egyptian cotton
Rise and fall
                       Around your torso
When you wrap yourself
                       As an Ibis
                       And offer yourself
                       We become eternal
Whilst we worship each other
                       As Pharaohs
             The sun will continue to burn

Lift that chin

Lift that chin, Rosa.
Lift those eyes up high.
Say to the sun, you're welcome.
Lift your face to the sky.

Lift that chin, Rosa.
Spread your arms open wide.
Tell the wind that you're ready.
And just see if you don't fly!

I have a granddaughter, Rosa. I have a photo of her lifting her chin, with a beautiful smile. She's a smart cookie. She'll go far.

A Haiku for the Heartbroken

Some day it will not
hurt so much and we only
have to make it there.

Милая моя, всегда ты рядом.

Милая моя, всегда ты рядом.
Золотом сверкает юбилей.
И года мы провожаем взглядом —
у вина с годами вкус острей.

Незаметно годы пролетели.
Незаметно побелел висок.
Незаметно дети повзрослели
И всему у жизни нужный срок.

Тихого спокойствия услада
по ночам летает в тишине.
У икон колышется лампада —
Вместе столько лет в одном челне.

Милая моя, ты откровенье.
Замерла тревожная душа...
Не случайно было то везенье.
Не сломало чувство жизни ржа.

Жизни перелистывай страницы,
Правда там струится между строк.
В небе журавли — в руках синицы...
Ты журавль судьбы в моей руке.

Много было в Книге испытаний,
Вел меня вперёд твой добрый взгляд.
Я дарю тебе букет желаний.
Вновь весною расцветает сад.

Милая моя — нас мудрость лечит.
И уже не нужно ничего...
Просто рядом быть — ещё не вечер.
Мне с тобой и сложно и светло!

Thank God for dogs.
They are always happy to see you,
and happy to give
and get love.

Still

I still love you—
after every time you vanished
like silence between storms,
after every wound you named gentle,
every promise that wilted
before it touched the air.

Tell me,
how does a heart
keep bleeding
and still
call it love?

THE POET'S CANCER

Blank as snow,
my mind has resigned—
Not from frail nerves,
but from the loss of momentum.

My fingers wrestle with the pen,
my hand clings to the laptop.
Open the tap—
Let even a drop fall.

Inspire me,
that I might inspire others.

Little by little,
a mighty ocean will stir,
erupting—
Breaking every bound.

Tap the keys, O hand.
Sketch the thoughts, dear fingers.
Just let the mind ignite—
Rome will be built, for sure.

Not unaliving,
but ensuering,
a cure will be found.

Ego

Your wife must be lonely
With all the time you spend
Away from her
Wishing you had me

My shy lover..

My shy lover,
with her pretentious persona,
She feels but can’t express.
Marshmallow like underneath her hard shell

A free bird but her thoughts enslave,
She hurts but never retaliates
Anxious yet patience

Easy to love, harder to decipher
Not easily to in love but makes loving easy
From a total stranger
to the most familiar
Antarah will be jealous of my love for her…

Stare/See

I stare into her eyes.
I see the ocean waves.
I stare into her eyes.
I see the sky above.
I stare into her eyes.
I see the blue birds.
I stare into her eyes.
I see sapphire.
I stare into her eyes.
I see cornflowers.
I stare into her eyes.
I see life.

Lonely day

I feel alone
in my own shell:
playing pretend,
with my smile laid out on a shelf.
I’ll study grinns until they fit my heart.
And they cover it with blinding light.
Because the darkness
became a treasure I shall only see.
I let no one grasp it,
no one touches my true self.
No wonder I feel alone
when I don’t let anyone see myself.

Only One Left

I am the only one left
And it seems like a mighty theft
Am I the only one that cares,
When I feel nothing in the air?

Don't feel the same

I hope you don't feel the same way I feel about you
Because I don't want you to suffer as I do

He knows the depths of my despairs

For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.

Hi guys, I don't always post faith based poems or content, but this is just pure Bible.
The link I have attached is to a podcast episode titled; "Intrusive thoughts.'' it was so powerful, I just had to share it with you all, and I want to bring more light to this platform, so I am going to do just that.
God bless you all, and Goodnight.

A Disguise, A Reality.

Cursed, yet blessed.

Bright in disguise, dark in reality.

Because she pretends. Because she indulges in her delusions. Because she is hidden. Because a mask can cover scars. Because she repents on her sins. Because she isn't scared. But that would mean she had left this world behind long ago.

Actually, it was all just an illusion.

Because in the darkness, she tries to come back.

Her broken tears beautifully shine in the dark, immediately crystallizing as they caress her cheeks. Her purple, shattered yet gentle soul, it is irreplaceable.

She is I, I am her.

Blessed, yet cursed.

moving on

a lost soul
always on the move
without a destination
being nowhere and everywhere
Longing for change
also for consistency
a soul ready for change
ready to move to a new city

Grace from darkness

Soft grace from darkness
Murky pond a lotus buds
Snow begins to fall

The Clouds Cry Too

The clouds cry too,
But we call it rain-
When their life gets hard
They turn all grey
They grumble when upset
And look at bit down
They start to feel heavy
And that’s when start to cry
Hear hear it on the roof
The steady tap, tap, tap
It falls so gracefully
And waters down the earth
Because sometimes
The clouds need to cry too

Last time it rained

Last time when the dust turned blue
a new kind of rain erupted
like pellets bouncing off the ground
realizations poured over our heads
last time I laid flat on a road
and challenged the force of decisional wind
protesting the passage of time
swallowing images of mountain range
from the highest point in the city
last time I felt so dearly in love
with the color of the sky
with the way things go,
with the touch of new life
last time I got to know my own breathing
was when, just like this,
in seasonal change, fragments of old self
came to accompany on a journey
through a new day

Tomorrow Never Comes

It's here already
one long day of sunrise and sunset
time knows no division
the very end - is not yet

Perhaps it will not come
but ours , it will be certain
you can be sure of that
we'll close that final curtain

So eat and drink my poet friends
be content and be merry
love and live and laugh
our life will not tarry.
our life will never tarry.

The First Love

Yesterday, in the afternoon i back tired,
  I slept then i wake up late
The time passed . and i am reflection in a black sky,  the white moon Is completed and that cold air as it touch my face
It was the first time i am obsessed with the moon
And its now call me every night to be it own guide
And that heavy clouds cover the moon and  it is say goodbye with a Kisses.

Forever Thinking About You

My heart beats just for you and
Lord Jesus Christ knows its true and

Your gentle smile a warm and sunny ray
Brightens my world in every single way

And I'm thinking about you today
And I'm smiling away and

Like stars above that shimmer in the night
Your presence fills my world with pure delight and

A melody so sweet your voice I hear
Whispering love banishing all my fears

And my soul finds solace in your sway
I think about you every day and

In your warm embrace
I find my safe domain
Where joy and peace eternally remain

And with every breath
I take my love for you takes flight
Two little doves kissing
In the morning sunlight and

Your eyes a window to a loving soul
Making me complete making me whole

And the Lord Jesus Christ knows
I'm thinking about you

And my feelings are so true and
My endless love for you will stay pure

Like summer breeze your tender touch I crave of I'm thinking about you and
A love so deep beyond the silent grave

My darling love my everything my friend
Our beautiful journey hand in hand will never end.

True Love ❤️ 😍 💖
