"We had galaxies between us but he still needed space."

Although, I know he belongs to someone else,
Still why can't I stop dreaming of him? Open / Comment

The times she spends with you under the sun is all you'll ever get. She always turns back to her world where reigns the dusk on the dawn. Open / Comment

2022-01-28 02:26:32 I stand at cross roads,
Not willing to let go,
Not willing to fight,
I sigh at the grievances,
That weigh down my heart. Open / Comment

These candles, they glow bright.
Signaling all the demons, as they drag you away and tear you part. Open / Comment

2022-01-27 22:40:30 After the rain
By Ayesha Shorooq

My journey has ended to its rain,
Full of stress, anguish and pain,
It's flowing through my body and the veins.

Waiting for the thunders to fade,
Everything dreary, they've made
And I'm a rover in it's dark shade.

But the sun shines again
After the rain
And all the fleeted joys, I'll gain.

This spooky storm will elapse,
I'll be out of this forlorn traps,
Way to glee, I'll have its maps. Open / Comment

2022-01-27 20:47:29 My Heart Is So Alone

I lost my train of thoughts
when you declared war
on all of my hiding spots.
I have come far too away,
leaving my happiness midway
to feel I am enough
or to make you stay.

Wasn't my heart yours to keep?
I remember you visiting her when I fall asleep.
I lost myself for you
but you always kept her in sight
through the day and night.
I betrayed myself for you
but she stayed with you all along
like your favourite song.

2022-01-27 18:30:19 I thought he was upset with me—yet before I knew it, I felt him pulling me to him. Next, I felt him planted a kiss atop my head.

Upon my questioning glance, he said, "Scars do make you look beautiful."

I felt my lips tugged up at this. "I should keep reminding myself not to add another one in purpose."

2022-01-27 10:02:45 You have to accept it, those fragments are gone, erased.

Isn't that why there's gravestones in the mountain's forest?

Isn't that why you light up a fire and turn everything to grey countless of times?

Isn't that why you dance to the devil's songs in circles?

You have to accept it,

There's no turning back.

You can't stay true to an oath you made to the dead.

You have to accept it, please, accept it.

2022-01-27 06:57:24 retrofitting retrogrades

Venus is retrograding back into darkness,
right along with Mercury.
All the good vibes and smart thought
gone out the back for a smoke
and some fresher air.
We tire of the same-old-same of life
and think up different scenarios
retrofitting our changing flight.
No tears come for left-behind dreams
not serving up the crème-de-la-crème
at the top of the crop. And really,
for you and for I, all this backstepping
is only a piece of the step to this
hilarious dance that is life. We see
our intro through doors of inspecting
all we see, and we see our way to
adjusting a slightly altered version of
each varied moment in our reality.
Be kind in your retreat and respite
from the steady movement and marching feet
following the wheeled-in ruts
imprinting the road behind. Yeah sure,
they got us here, but that doesn’t
grant them right-away passage
further onward into that dreamland
we see but can never quite reach. Open / Comment
