Well, this is the first poem I've posted anywhere on planet Earth, I hope it's minimally acceptable, or something like that, have a good reading. :)

And now?

The confused proses are gone

Distracted stars ignore your presence

Trust only your belief

Doubt even your own heart

Go back to your grave of pain

Cry out your acidic words

Lament the broken ribbons

Blame yourself because it's the only thing you do better

Regret the crooked life

Surrender to the emptiness of your soul

Get lost in the chaotic mind

At the Dead Sea of ​​your sinful eyes

Your bitter deep sinks in the mud

Drown in your own sea of ​​sins, for that would be the most virtuous action for you.

Original version

E agora?

As prosas confusas se vão

As estrelas distraídas ignoram sua presença

Confie em apenas sua crença

Duvide até de seu próprio coração

Volte para o seu túmulo de dor

Chore as suas palavras ácidas

Lamente as fitas arrebentadas

Culpe-se, pois é a única coisa que faz melhor

Se arrependa da vida tortuosa

Entregue-se ao vazio de sua alma

Se perca na mente caótica

No Mar Morto de seus olhos de pecaminosa

Seu profundo amargo afunda-se na lama

Afogue-se no próprio mar de pecados, pois para ti seria a ação mais virtuosa.

Why do I do this?

a little poem we made while dealin with insomnia, the theme is ✨love✨

Why?

Why do we entertain ourselves with such a frivolous task like love.

You’ll Intertwine your calloused hands with mine

Cascade your thumb down my palm while you whisper,

Sweet nothings into my ear, painting my face red.

How you’ll nib at my ear. 

How I feel your smile on my neck

Your breath, hot

Raising my hairs.

Why?

Why do I do this, why do we indulge in love, lust, passion and joy 

But why….

Why do we continue?

For in the morning you’ll be gone, taking my heart and that warmth with you.

I’ll lay solemnly in bed wondering why.

Why?

Why do you leave so hastily?

But I know.

I know why.

It’s because I’m not a woman

Would you meet me there, where the river meets the forest? In the middle of the hazy mist, everything so mysterious and mystical, where the angels' melodies can be heard, the warmth of your hands, the light that shines in your eyes in this gloomy haven of nature—let's write our own fairytale, a tale that'll be ours.

How do you get started?

Like, My roman empire rn is i have the heart, and the vocab but the inability to combine those two.

Any tips to get started on poetry?

hiii, I've never posted my poetry before but since this account has no trace to who I am and I'm basically anonymous, I decided I'd like to post some of my poems!

I will say I have had no professional education of poetry beyond middle school, so I am open to suggestions and creative criticism. please don't be afraid to tell me how I can improve or your own opinions on the poems!!

What if I told you all that there was a world we could all run away to.

A magical kingdom where all our dreams came true.

We could learn the enchanted ways of life.

A holy grail in these dark times.

Day 8 of getting my sh!t together

So, it's already the 8th day. Today I let a little lose because I'm going on a restricted diet from tomorrow and trying to workout more. So, I woke up late and also ate pretty well.

I started writing in my gratitude journal after two months. Two months ago when I stopped writing in that journal, I was only whining and complaining. I was in a dark place and felt lost and hopeless. There weren't many things I could write about in my gratitude journal and I felt like the universe wasn't on my side. So, I stopped back then and promised to write once I feel better.

I feel better now and reached out for the journal. Am I magically healed? No. That's the thing with anxiety and depression. I felt like my depression relapsed and I felt su!c!dal. I held on my life even though I felt like it wasn't worth it.

I still feel broken but I also feel strong enough to pick up the broken pieces and put it back together. I am better today, I will be better tomorrow. One day at a time!

Anyways, the menu was so yummy today.

Breakfast was just coffee as usual.

Lunch:

Mushroom zucchini chicken in oyster sauce

Cucumber and lettuce with lime juice and pepper

Cooler

It's 42°C outside so we all need an internal coolant. Mom made this beverage by roasting raw mango also known as aam paanna.

Evening snack:

I got snacky in the evening so I snacked on some chocolate muesli with black coffee.

Dinner

Chapati and Okhra in yoghurt gravy

Here's my song recommendation for the day

[arcsnaptales]

Everyday you & your face in my dream;

Your love like a sunlight beam;

Your face like a fair n lovely model in gleam;

When you enter my room, my & mine furnitures' greetings stream;

Brother

Look at our sisters you destroyed in fear You gave us nothing but sadness and tears You put us in chains And locked us in cells Told our families to look at us in shame

We bow our heads believing in the shame But it was just you messing with our heads

You saw us dancing and singing But you didn't understand That underneath all we were innocent and fair You turn your head and called for your men Have us arrested for things that weren't there

You called us traitors You called us in fear But we were just girls Innocent and fair

You were just an old man running in fear Demanding obedience And killing away strays

Look at the sister your drowned A mother's wails for her daughter to return Look at the sister your burned A mother's scorn will be all you know Look at the sister you fed to the dogs A mother will be ready to pounce Look at the sister you gave to your men A mother will remember her cries and pain

You did this, old man, you gave to the fear You fed it You fed it Till nothing else could be feared

You broke us down and retain our sisters Now our mothers and aunties will be there to free us from your fears 'Justice' they say 'Bullshit' they screamed Our fathers will show but their voice will be drowned By the pain and indignities our mothers and aunties have suffered

Give up old man Your time is here Let us walk free and your death will be swift Think about all the little girls you took A mother, a aunty, a sister, a daughter Look at them with dread And think of your regrets That's all you'll ever feel until is all forgotten But those mothers you took their happiness from Will never forget it And neither will the fathers

Now remember all those girls that ran into the woods Their happiness trigger by the dancing and singing Their innocent untouched Their fairness remaining All they were doing is celebrating A girl's newborn brother That was born minutes before the old man decided to fear them

to the place i promise to take you

it was a day of vanilla ice cream when my eyes fell toward you

Your best smile that makes your eyes, curl like a crescent moon.

Your cheek that is pink like a peony. And when you red, I could see it was fluffy as a marshmallow.

I could still remember how wrinkles pop up in the corner of my eyebrow. When mom said we were going to attend a birthday party

but when a flowering garden filled my nose up my mind. my day could not be able to continue since then.

i guess cupid take my heart out

but fate has denied me that.

Destiny just let me seize you on the way, but I know, I have to take you where you need to be. where I promise to take you;

here, to the man next to me; my eyes lit up as I watched you descend into the place you have always dreamed of .

We both smile; a smile of fresh departure and a smile of farewell .

[omiloumenos]

Will I be a star if I die,

That people will wish to see every night?

Will I appear in the night sky,

And make people's evening bright?

[symphonyofhearts]

If love is an illusion, why are you still here? In front of me on your knees with the brightest smile that put shame on the sun and a voice as soft as the melodies of the wind, declaring that your heart and soul will always be mine in every existence of this universe. You might have given me a ring adorned with stars to keep these memories until it comes to a beautiful end, but you forgot about the words that are eternal and unbreakable.

[utsavmodi]

Easy to deceive, as though trust were air,

Weightless and given, without second thought,

A heart left open, unaware,

Shadow linger, lies they brought.

Eager to tease, dancing in this flame,

Tempting the edge, thrill and despair.

Spark in the dark, treating desire like a game,

Blind in the smoke of midnight air.

Hard to break free, bound by allure,

Each whisper a chain, every glance a snare.

Caught in a web spun fragile, unsure,

Tethered by longings too much to bear.

Empty desires, like stars burnt cold,

All glitter and gleam, but hollow inside.

Promises sweet, soon brittle and old,

Leaving the heart with nowhere to hide.

Worse decisions bloom from roots of regret,

Mistakes like petals that fall without sound.

Drawn to illusions, we can’t soon forget—

Lost in a garden where truth is yet to found.

"Why can't you just shut up for once! No one cares." I am left speechless, staring into those silver eyes that once looked at me with pride yet now, his eyes stare me down. Drowning me in a feeling of dread and pure loathing. He takes a moment to process his words, the only thing heard in the now silent hallway are out soft, echoing breathe which sync together as we both comprehend his words.

"Wait I-" His clenched fists relax and his thick eyebrows shift slightly to now portray this regret, sinking in his stomach.

I shake my head.

"You really should have left me for dead then."

"Wait-!"

I take a step back and feel a sharp pain shooting up from my leg, looking down at my exposed leg, and see a deep blue electric looking print going up my shin from my heel.

Looking back up at him I feel as though I could throw up.

"Its happening again. Fuck its happening again." My legs give out and I fall to the ground, my core feeling as though it is being wrenched from me and my vision blurring at the edges.

"Leave me for dead."
