#i love !!! poetry !!!

[amalthea-felsblood]

Beneath the sky of dawning light, Stood Marian, maiden pure and bright. Her gaze turned north, where mountains loom, A heart aflame to break the gloom.

The winds of Ishgard softly sigh, Through towers tall, they whisper by. Yet in her chest, a longing stirs, For him, her knight, whose vow is hers.

The morn grows bold, the shadows flee, But still she waits, near frost kissed lea. For love endures where hopes are sworn, Her knight returns with the coming morn.

There are pieces of me uncompleted

that can only be stitched as one

by your loving hand.

None other.

No other man.

poisoned chalice

9.6k words. daniel ricciardo-centric, ft max verstappen, lando norris, sebastian vettel, checo perez. part 2 ->

Formula One is not kind. Daniel Ricciardo isn’t new to F1 and it’s flaws, it’s atmospheric highs and cavernous lows. He knows what happens to drivers who cannot endure; he knows what happens to the drivers who triumph. In the end, his knowledge proves useless. It does not save him from drinking from the poisoned chalice in 2020 when he puts pen to paper and signs McLaren’s contract.

Another silly poem ~

[badtzr0m1]

To love like a dog

I’m like a dog, no matter how much you hurt me I always stay in hopes of seeing change, I don’t try to bite nor bark, I don’t growl or run.

I’m like a dog, an obedient well trained puppy who just wants nothing but to please you, not caring for my well being, love you even when you despise me.

I’m like a dog not caring about the world, not caring about myself, whose sole purpose is to love and protect you.

Questions For A Coward

That kiss on the forehead,

what did it mean?

All of those confessions,

were they an avoidance of this one?

You say you made a mistake,

was it me or just the timing?

Maybe we were always something,

why didn’t you consider it was different in my head?

I’m not capable of those feelings,

if you knew me so well how couldn’t you see?

You heartbreak soaking my chest,

so who the hell are you to apologize?

I really thought it was you and I till the end,

how don’t you miss this friendship?

You saw me as potential, since you have none,

when did I start looking past it?

I saw your photos with your new friends,

where were they when you called for me?

You block me but I was “always the problem,”

can you explain that to me?

Keep telling me how to improve my writing,

do you really think that poem was romantic?

[sustiawan-author]

In the midst of unhappiness where others exist,

let me bask in my own fragrant bliss.

QUEEN

I’m the queen of this castle,

A heinous figure,

And yet they call me, your highness

This power within the grasp of my hands is the greatest feat of my life,

Yet as they bow at my feet,

I may be above,

But the crown on my head keeps me grounded

It does not humble me down,

But it reminds me of the feelings of the common,

But it reminds me to be prudent of whatever I do

Whether it be trepidation that lands them at my feet,

Whether it be veneration that lands them at my feet,

Whether it be obligation that lands them at my feet,

I am the bearer of this land,

But I too can be the harbinger of its doom

They compare me to Venus,

But my veins run cold,

They say I am akin to water,

But this is a slaughterhouse

And my kingdom is a well,

I’ll drain out one day,

And they’ll scoop fresh water over my remains

I’m the queen of this kingdom,

A courteous figure,

And yet my court is filled with traitors

I’m the queen of this land,

A lender of ascendancy,

And yet they believe I am a leader of competency,

One day my hand slips,

My crown crushes my skull,

And I can’t handle it all,

So I fall

I’m the queen of this facade,

An arcade full of flies,

And yet they believe I am a blooming flower,

But I’m wilted,

So I crumble,

And that is all

Invisible Pain

My cane clicks against the floor, families turn to stare. Head down, eyes ahead, I make my way through the room with Invisible Pain.

I gain a laugh from my sister, an "ew!" from my therapist, a "me too" from my brother. I show off my party tricks, contorting my joints and pulling my skin. I avoid grimacing and laugh through the Invisible Pain.

Physical therapists say "You have no structural issues!" Parents show concern that eventually fades. Doctors say it's all in my head. I should lose weight, change my habits. How can I exercise enough for them? When I’m overtaken by Invisible Pain?

Don't you think it's a bit insensitive to not believe my aches and pains? To say it's normal to have your hips shift, to have your arms swell,to lose feeling in your legs? I guess I will try to ignore the Invisible Pain.

i called you home because i knew the angels were looking for your love in the towers of god

the realms of the dead have forgotten their spark

you are after the enlightening storm

remember the visions you were gifted 4 years ago

dont be quiet now

you werent quiet then

why you are leaving us with your song

without your body singing the praises

have you forgotten yourself

have you forgotten the love inside of your veins

i prayed it away

i left out the strings

that my body was carrying from the wounds i had saved

i cut off the blockages and i headed home

when the mother is calling i go and give offerings

my voice was all i had when there was nothing

she kept me clothed and warmth was the potion

there are more guides that need hearing out

youre too stubborn to try it for yourself

youre just too fearful

try to get out for once

let the thunderstorms hear your lightening sounds because you are

the empress in disguise; and there is nothing one can say

that could take away from your light.
