There are moments of intense vulnerability, moments when the missing you is so intense it takes my breath away, moments when only being wrapped in your arms will make it ok.

e.v.e.

The most grief stricken hearts have learned to dance in the midst of the storm.

For it is only the rain that yields growth.

The maiden veiled in white.

Head to toe in lacy ivory white, she makes such a pretty sight.

A porcelaine dove not in flight, her wings will be clipped, before this very night.

Her slow decent down to hell and all to the beat of a mocking church bell.

Clownfish: A Dive into Trust and Heartbreak

I dove head first into your sea,

not knowing if you would ever catch me.

The sand was filled with broken glass and debris,

but your waves were calling out to me.

I couldn’t help myself but to jump right in.

No life vest and I didn’t know if I could swim.

I sank to the bottom but it felt so good,

submerged in your world - I never understood.

I trusted so blindly that you would catch me,

instead you watched me drown.

Blood dripping from my feet,

my lungs filled with water—

as I screamed for you to save me.

[destinedjourneyofwords]

I typed a poem about him my words danced,then hid their face, for his heart's loveliness left them in a daze; He's a beautiful soul inside and out, leaving my words in awe,without a doubt; Writing about him made my words blush, And my thoughts were filled with loving rush.

Haunted Reckoning

Why do I dream in tangled threads,

these wretched echoes of the past?

Why do strange places claw at me,

why do ageless faces leer?

What do they want—release? Forgiveness?

I owe them nothing!

Ghosts can’t hurt me,

but the living—oh, they’ve done their worst.

Still, these shadows rise,

dragging their filthy chains,

scratching at my mind like vermin.

I would let them rot in their graves,

but no—they wake, they snarl,

they bare their fangs as if I called them.

What do you want from me?

I’ve bled enough. I’ve burned for my sins.

Don’t tell me this is my soul

trying to speak.

What does it know of my torment?

It whispers in riddles,

a coward hiding behind symbols and dreams.

Yes, I have wronged!

And yes, I’ve been wronged!

But must I be dragged again and again

through this endless pit of regret?

Isn’t it enough that I claw my way forward,

that I fight every goddamn day

to do what’s right?

Tell me, ghosts of my failures,

is this your justice? Is this your revenge?

If you think you can break me,

you’ve underestimated the fire in my veins.

I will not kneel before the past.

I will tear through it,

splinter it to dust,

and leave your snarling faces behind.

[in-my-thinking]

Why we stay

I just don’t know

When we know deep down

We need to go.

Urges….

एक उमर है जो बितानी है तेरे बगैर,

और एक लम्हा है जो गुज़ारा नहीं जाता।

(basically a vent poem)

Another exhausting day

another grade-jarring test

another surprise encounter

with someone who broke me

Another tension with my peer

another idea forgotten

another day of setbacks

just another monday,

just the water cycle.
