Burdens of life
You look so worried, I can see it in your eyes... what's bothering you? ~¤~¤~¤~¤~¤~¤~¤~¤~ You can talk to me, if something is wrong, I'm sure
Be where your feet are
Be where your feet are We often find ourselves either guilt-tripping in the past or ruminating about the future. The present is all that we have in our hands yet we tend to often forget the importance of living in the moment. In a world that constantly holds our attention, it becomes difficult for us to catch a moment of what our primary requirements are in the present, to catch a glimpse of what it is that we truly want for ourselves. Everything that you have ever dreamed of, wanted and will ever need, all of it stems from the present moment.
Hridya SharmaPublished 2 days ago in PoetsA Modern Dating Tale
In the period of swiping left or right and computerized romance, it's not difficult to accept that certifiable associations are more enthusiastically to drop by. However, once in a while, a dating story arises that revives our confidence in luck and the wizardry of human association. Such is the situation with the wonderful experience of Emily and James, a story that advises us that affection frequently tracks down us in the most startling of spots.

Shadows and colorful pencils were my best friends before anything Even though I was afraid of the dark and how I drew Broken glass and breathless ash are all I see
In My Heart
In Busy streets of World and dark forests, You are in my Heart In the last station of my journey, You are in my Heart In the fragrance of morning flower blosoom,
Petter JohnPublished 2 days ago in PoetsPit of Doom
Memories of us are just hazy and incoherent. A myriad of conflicting personalities and pretentiousness. This is the end of all verses that have run of fuel. We have reached the pinnacle of martyrdom. I wanted you to try as much as I did but that proved to be out of your reach. I always strained more and further out than your body ever could. Our engine ran on hope and four flat tires. Our locomotive couldn't find the best route so we drove blind anyways. It's like you threw us down into this pit and wondered why I kept trying to escape. I wanted you to want to escape with me. To change every flaw in your corrupted design and be what you were supposed to be. Heaven forbid we change ourselves to accommodate who we claimed to love. Isn't that what love is supposed to be? How could I have accepted you as you were when I couldn't even accept myself? There's no hand reaching me to help me out of here. In order to get out, you descended and dug even deeper. You found the coward's way out and I salute you for it. Leaving me in this doom forced me to introspect. What could I do differently that I ever tried before? Why can't I just accept your resignation and be at peace with your departure? No, I must prove to myself that your retirement from this hell would not be the end of me. Just because you absconded into the twilight does not mean I was going to wait for you until dawn. I have renounced my oath and am loyal only to myself now. My memory will eventually forsake you but for now, this abdication is what drives me forward. No magical staircase was built but a rope was painstakingly made to climb out of here. This pit of doom no longer has any room for me. It has weakened its jaws and released its grip on me. You can make a prisoner out of someone else. I am no longer willing to be that sacrifice anymore. The void that is you got left behind. I can't hear your echoes anymore, I will pay them no mind

The winds will come As the skies grow dark The world waiting in anticipation For the rains to start Thunder rolls in Lightening strikes

The neighborhood of houses was desolate with arrows Her features became clear next to the city The arrows dragged their tails on it
el hariti adilPublished 2 days ago in PoetsWHY HUMANS ARE AGAINST HUMANS
GOD MADE MANY CREATURES THESE COUNTLESS CREATURES ARE JUST FOR THE SERVICE OF HUMANITY. THEY ARE THE SOURCE OF FOOD
We are The Cup and the Wine
We are the glass and the wine, two souls in one destiny, Offering a toast to love, under the divine sky. I look at your eyes and see, the reflection of my desire,
