    I saw my Partner in Rhyme, Fu chan @Autumn Wind , make a poem pool. So I was inspired to make one as well. They are mostly answers to other poems tho, so at times, I will put the context there and link it.

    Dedicated to my inspiration, the person who made me start writing poems and the people who acknowledge my poems and encouraged me to poem more, my Partners in Rhyme

    Thanks for reading untill the end! Or even if you just scrolled or skipped to the end, thanks too I guess..
    I hope to be able to put more things here. Look forward to it~

    Hey! I wrote how I usually make my poems HERE! Check it out ^^

    I kind of moved to my own discord server now! PM me Pyoo | Art Union#3688 to join it!

    Happiness is Selfish
    Happiness is acceptance
    The key to happiness if mediocrity
    I am anything I want to be, for I am nothing and I am everything
    An ambitious person with no ambitions
    What are the things you put down as your self description? Your name, job, school, family, friends? What of belief, values, or personality?

    Passionately aims to be chill
    my goal in life is to be happy
    I have been feeling like im not passionate enough about things. Not desperate enough. Not full of fighting spirit as i call it.
    Complacency is mankinds enemy, my biggest trap

    Life is fun. Don't take that away from it.
    "A ship in harbor is safe. But that's not why ships are built"
    Never indulge. Don't drown. Fight. Be brave. Fight. Grit your teeth. Fight. Tighten your grip. Fight. Fight. Swim. And Soar.
    Keep moving. Steadily progressing. Against the current, swim. You'll get to the land and win.
    the day started warmly with smiles and ended warmly with love. Warmth is around. Please feel it well.

    The more I read your words
    The more it tug my heart's chords
    I'm unable to breathe
    And can only writhe
    As the wind shows her might
    It was love at first sight
    A feeling that tickles
    Like a reaper's sickle
    Though I'm not a man
    I'm now a fan

    (source)
    I hear your plea, and I will fulfill
    For I will not flee, and I come with goodwill
    And I will hold you dear, my partner and friend,
    And continue being here, untill we meet the end.

    bird perches on the tree, singing its tune of three
    showering you with delight as it meets your sight
    basked in the morning sun, it's having fun

    Today is a special date, a day of special fate.
    The day for togetherness, abound with happiness
    For two who were kilter, to meet at the altar
    I am here on invitation, but also to offer congratulation

    (source, haiku)
    Listen to this bird
    Winter's Song is your new name
    But your old name stays

    (source, Fu-chan flustered from praises)
    Please dont be embarrassed
    And accept it with pride.
    For it is our heartfelt feelings
    And we hope you receive it with smiles~

    (I bullied Fu-chan before I posted this)
    I've taken upon your form,
    To help you go through the storm.
    Though the unfamiliarity makes me distressed,
    But with you here, i feel blessed
    - - -
    (This to Ophi)
    Though sadness is holding you now
    We're here to hold you hand, I'm sure you know
    Give yourself time, and chocolate, and comfort
    You'll pass through it, anything you suffer
    - - -
    (Everything below here is to Mitch)
    I've been here with my tears for long
    Waiting for something to come along
    I receive your wish to ease my woe
    But, I'm sorry for the water will still flow
    - - -
    Indeed, I am the reason for the rain,
    And for the cloud covering the brightness
    My indecisiveness, unable to let go
    Of my wish of the wish

    For that is the reason I've been staying
    If that reason is gone, what will I do
    A burn in me... it's so unfamiliar
    If the rain doesn't come, then what is left of this place
    The lake, my home
    - - -
    Is what you see in me, upon your eyes, not those of rain and tears?
    You follow me, not to wallow in melancholy, but to enjoy the fresh, cooling water?
    Do you see the warmth existing and a fire kindling within me?
    Can I trust what you see, that my vision, full of clouds, cannot see?

    This 'tenacity' of yours is a breeze long gone upon me
    While this 'hesitance' of mine will continue to bind and root me
    For this home that has grown with me fills me with comfort of familiarity
    To leave it is a thought I dare not hold, without courage to be heartbroken
    - - -
    You said, my shell will open
    You said it’s already begun to crack
    You said I can traverse the path
    And you said I can create warmth

    In my little lake, I see things anew
    I see the familiar rain but it cleanses as it pours
    The winds I was accustomed to, gently pass and embrace
    The jarring light, no longer blinding

    And I see the small kindle within
    Trying its best to live
    And I see you, with your hand extended
    Reaching out, reaching me

    I do not know what you see
    And I think I won’t come to understand it
    But as you say, trust is not a simple thing
    But for the first time, I am willing

    (source)
    I am by your side
    And never left
    My feelings not dried
    For without you, I am bereft
    But as said, I am a one-sided admirer,
    Or is it, you wish me to be a lover?

    (source)
    Stars are but suns, who want to accompany the lonely moon
    So its shine is not dim and grim, but beatifying in its calm and serene way

    Hey pretty girl, I can't make compliments through a poem
    But I assure you, if there's anyone, I would definitely mow 'em.
    - - -
    Hey pretty girl, I can't make compliments with poems
    But I can say that you fill my heart with strong emotions

    (source, Yarvic is my sister)
    Though I know you're a mister
    Good afternoon dear sister~
    Just so you know, I don't accept a nay
    Eh, I just came to say good day

    (source, after the poem battle, burnt out, but still being sent poems by the others orz)
    Winds and birds can never be separated
    For they are in one sky, bounded
    Guys, I'm burnt out, kill me now...
    But, I'm glad you enjoyed the show...

    (source, related to Confession (1))
    "The more I read your words
    The more it tug my heart's chords
    I'm unable to breathe
    And can only writhe
    As the wind shows her might
    It was love at first sight
    A feeling that tickles
    Like a reaper's sickle"
    These were my words at our meeting prime
    It leads to us now, Partners in Rhyme

    (source, Kingdom Royale is a death game)
    10 minutes until it's dark
    In the night, everyone places a mark
    On those to die, and those to ally
    I hope that tomorrow, I won't say bye

    (source)
    Well, you've been had
    But, you've worked hard
    Maybe, act possessed
    so tomorrow they'll be at your behest

    (source)
    Why you jelly
    Just be friendly
    If you want to join the crew
    You can be a poet too

    (source, this is about Autumn Wind)
    The autumn passes
    But the wind is free
    Unbound by any it soars
    As it breathes life to earth below

    (source, Kingdom Royale is a death game + I was a chocobo)
    it's been a ride
    but no one died
    now, I don't need to hide
    scared of being fried

    (source, I'm a little bird)
    I was learning to fly
    I would be kicked down and fall
    But something lifted me high
    You had saved me after all

    I’m a proud member of the working society
    That want to let loose and party
    So I send an invitation to thee
    To join and have a toast with tea

    (source)
    A battle won.
    Left me alone.
    As I take my ragged breath.
    I welcome death.
    - - -
    I look around
    At the dead abound
    I put on a wry smile
    And collapsed, immobile
    Wondering if this was justified
    As my guilt intensified
    - - -
    I've won in the surface
    But what is shown in my face
    Is a scowl hiding tears
    As I live my remaining years
    I seek punishment for this victory
    Yet, I'm showered with glory.
    - - -
    I fought for my people
    Nay, I fought for my freedom
    The hero's cape I gained
    Is for me simply my mask
    As I don the people's pride
    but discard their scarred hearts

    For it is not for them I fought
    It is not for them I sacrificed

    But my reasons wane
    What held me on crumbled
    What I sacrificed.
    And for whom I fight.
    I didn't fight for them, so why are they cheering
    While I'm here, drowning
    Do they revel at my scarred heart,
    Just as i had abandoned theirs?
    - - -
    I've seen you fight
    I've seen you struggle
    I've seen you win
    But now I see you, broken

    I've stand beside you as we march
    As we take up the swords for victory
    As we consider each other precious
    And how we'll take the world on for that

    I'm sorry I can't walk at your side anymore
    I'm not one fit to hold the pride of the people
    I accept this is my price for victory
    But please hold on to this as glory

    You have won yet, you're lost
    You have lived yet you're dead inside
    You have your eyes and feet, yet you're broken beyond repair
    And I can't make you whole again, anymore.

    (source, tragic love)
    Love not meant to be
    Of two from different worlds
    Not blessed by the people or the gods
    But for me, it's simply a blessing

    Though they call me a freak
    I'm but in love, surely they understand
    And today again I prepared your special ointment
    So we can preserve our love longer

    (source)
    Dark sky, dark door,
    And a dark feeling in my heart
    But the forbidden fruit tastes sweet
    And the thrill brought me a rush

    Against my constricting heart,
    My curiosity brought a shine to my eyes
    Became fuels for my legs
    And it gave a drive to my steps

    But indeed there's a reason for fear
    And instincts were honed by experience
    For what welcomed me
    Was a dread that's very familiar
    - - -
    Deep within I embrace this change
    All the darkness and twists it brings
    I go deeper, and it holds me tighter
    Surrounded by it, I am here to stay

    As I am drowned in my euphoria
    I looked around marvel my growth
    A nostalgic door caught my eyes
    Except it's covered by a now-unfamiliar light

    This light irked my eyes
    And it left me in a pique
    But is it loss I'm feeling?
    Though it is something I don't need
    Though I'm surrounded by luxury

    (source, sis yarvic was talking of ships)
    You're a very kind sister
    For sending a very heart warming letter

    If we're talking ships,
    Like the fender, you protect
    Like the spar, you support
    Like the keel, you are important

    (source, I'm a bird)
    The bird flies
    It flaps its wings hard
    As it misses the breeze that accompanied it
    It simply flew on
    - - -
    I'll wait for the wind to catch up
    I'll wait until the wind is ready
    To blow and fly with me
    For our next travel together
    - - -
    The story will end but not the wind
    As it embraces those it passes
    The seasons will fly and so will I
    But the wind will continue to flow
    - - -
    All come and go without amiss
    Yet there is a lingering breeze
    In your heart as you miss
    The time when the gentle wind kiss
    - - -
    the little bird danced merrily
    riding on the joyful winds
    but even without the cheers it brings
    the little bird dance expectantly
    - - -
    A bird without wind
    A day without light
    A night without moon
    Longing and losing
    Yearning and crumbling
    - - -
    She makes me elated
    She makes me fly
    She makes feel like I can reach the skies
    For with her I'm dancing
    With her I'm singing
    My words of love, never enough
    - - -
    the wind dances among all
    not differentiating, not discriminating
    it views all as equal, sheltering them kindly
    while I view it as special, one-sidedly, left behind
    - - -
    The wind leaves its marks
    On all it touches
    It won't let you forget
    It's invisible presence

    The rock remains steady
    But it can't help accept the wind
    As it caresses and shapes it
    To a thing of beauty
    - - -
    The sun sets, dyeing the sky an autumn colour
    The birds return home, done for the day
    a single tree stayed still by the cliff side
    waiting for its children to come back to it

    (source, confession to Tony after his stripper days started)
    I used to take you for granted
    But my view of you expanded
    When you donned your form
    It came like a storm

    I gave a fleeting, curious glance
    As you dance, I'm in a trance
    You twist and turn, and my heart it burns
    I'm past the point of no return

    (source, answer to AW's answer to my post in PB 4)
    The wind chimes a gentle song
    The bird enjoying the tune
    As it feels the gentle breeze
    Ever present in its heart

    Exhilaration
    As it rushes through my body
    Become my expression to the world
    Dyed in red

    Ecstacy
    As it rushes from my body
    Let's see how they see me now
    Died in red

    The beauty in fragility
    Handle it softly, tenderly, carefully
    A light scratch and it'll be broken
    A single mark and it'll be zero
    Oh, the beauty of fragility

    A moment of pleasure
    That's all I seek
    In this world without treasure
    In life so bleak

    (source, answer to AW's encouragement, but not really need source)
    you've wished for my happiness
    you've wished for my smile
    and it saddens me I can't give you that
    tho it hurts me, I will keep hurting you

    a smile is all it takes
    but a smile is the only thing I can't make
    while i'm here wishing for your smile
    i can only see your tears when you're with me

    Tainted,
    My Soul.

    Touched,
    My body.

    Corrupted,
    My mind.

    Hurt,
    Your heart.

    Damaged,
    My emotions.

    Broken,
    Beyond repair.

    Scarred,
    I should not show.

    Hurt,
    I'm not allowed
    To shed tears of mine own.

    (source, answer to Mitch?)
    You'd paint yourself black
    To come to my side
    Broken and damaged
    We will be each other's solace

    Painting black against black
    Where it feels at home
    You with your beautiful scar and crack
    Is where I would go to, after I roam

    (source)
    Love is an illusion
    A figment of imagination
    Of the hopefuls and the hopeless
    So their hearts can continue on

    Love is an illusion
    Just like any emotion
    But it's as real as it gets
    Whether in happiness or in pain

    Life and Death is merely a cycle
    Just as you live thinking of your death
    You will die thinking of your life.

    Marked
    By your sign
    By your smell
    By your image

    Holding on to me
    Sticking close to me
    Keeping me,
    Forever attached

    The scent you always have
    The image that always appear
    The touch I dearly miss
    Please let me go already

    I picked up your cigarette
    And your favourite cassette
    When can I pick up what I want most
    The one forever lost

    Your mark lingers
    As does the feeling of your fingers
    Sensations and sentiments gone
    Leaving me with my tears, dusk to dawn
    - - -
    Desires forever unfulfilled
    To be within your arms again
    To be by your side again
    To be in your mind again
    To even exist in your heart again

    I cooked our special food
    For our special day
    The soup is getting cold

    And I got no date
    Welp back to home
    With a bag of popcorn

    A pie is delicious
    What's in it is a secret recipe
    Passed down grandma to grandma
    It's an enigma how it's still remembered

    A pie is filled with hopes
    Dreams and memories
    A mood booster when you're down
    A calorie booster all the same

    Apple wrapped with dough
    Caramelized sweetness intertwined
    Juicy and crunchy
    Keeps the grandkids coming back

    A labyrinth like enigma
    You mind I can't figure out
    Your feelings you refuse to show
    Your heart, where does it go?

    Your cold eyes reflects a sadness
    But its locked and frozen
    Your cold heart refuses to beat
    And all the warmth seeps away

    Don't love me but think of me
    Don't love me but miss me
    Don't love me but obsess over me
    Since obsession is stronger than love
    And I want you to be mine forever
    - - -
    I want you to feel me
    In your every breathe
    In your every beat
    And in your every time

    Let me take over you
    Your thoughts
    Your actions
    Your very soul
    - - -
    Nothing matters but you
    Where are you
    When will you be here
    How you occupy my mind

    It matters not who you are
    Just your presence
    Your existence
    Is my tie to this world

    The sparks from our eyes
    Ignited the brightest sun
    Setting the passion aflame

    Like fire to a moth
    Attracted beyond reason
    Burning, as we touch
    Searing in pleasure

    In its little cage
    Trapped to its fate
    Are your eyes glowing with excitement?

    The thrill of the chase? that's long gone
    What's left is simply to enjoy
    The caged, little bird

    Little steps
    Faint steps
    Slowly closing in
    Heart, beating fast

    In between this heat
    I can feel your breath
    And the shocks in your touch

    Shivering
    Fear, Excitement
    Intermingling into one
    I feel my heart beating
    In this moment, I'm alive

    Throughout the ride
    If you see how I care
    You won't need to despair

    Addiction
    Withdrawal
    Substitute
    More than companion.

    Is it you?
    Your love and embrace
    Or is it me?
    My withdrawal
    - - -
    Substitutes are never enough
    So I seek, more and more
    My addiction
    Has consumed my soul

    Cravings. never enough
    More than companions
    But you're not my obsession
    And the emptiness prevails

    In this addiction,
    I've lost my soul

    To this addiciton,
    I'd give my soul

    (source, reply to Ophi)
    It's not a shattering of world
    But a fading away of bonds
    And I can only see from afar
    You, with your new world

    I'm jealous and envious
    But the sorrow is much greater
    Lethargy. My life's reason gone
    Our bonds was my energy
    Now, I'm unmoving

    A smile
    Full of malicious intent
    A shudder
    Of excitement

    A smirk and a grin
    Awaiting a signal to move
    Anticipating a mission accomplished
    Well, a little sin won't hurt us
    Since, it's all in the name of a childish fun

    A smile
    Full of malicious intent
    A shudder
    Of excitement

    A gaze
    Sending burns and sparks
    A hunter
    Stalking its prey
    - - -
    A predator
    Silently
    Motionless
    Waiting for the signal

    An eruption
    Spontaneous
    Explosive
    Violent waves of heat and passion
    - - -
    A smile that shows all intents
    Waiting for the disaster to happen

    Forst and Barricades tore down
    No more reason or excuse
    Anticipating thrill and excitement
    An outbreak of delight and passion

    I was really tempted to call this Adult Fun to match the Childish Fun title lol.
    Original poem:
    A gaze that burns and sparks
    As the hunter stalks its prey
    It watches silent and motionless
    Waiting to erupt
    Spontaneous
    Violent
    Explosive

    I can feel the tremors and shocks
    Waves tearing down all forts and barricades
    No more reason and excuse
    With a smile that shows all intents
    Waiting for the disaster to happen
    An outbreak of delight and passion
    Anticipating thrill and excitement

    You try to bury your memories
    And burn all the items you shared
    But you still cry
    When it's already nothing but ashes

    Chase after your future
    And let the past be your guide
    It will serve as lesson
    But don't let it be a burden

    I live to entertain
    The laugh, joy to my ears
    The smile, joy to my eyes
    All the life's simple pleasures

    I live to entertain
    What's life without laughs
    Devoid of joy
    Bleak existences

    I live to entertain
    Reasons for living can be damned
    We're alive, no other choice
    While it last, just enjoy the show

    Is that what you call empty?
    When all i want in life
    Are smiles directed at me

    Your existence keeping me alive
    Surrounding me with warmth

    Don't let my days be gray

    Bound by guilt and regret
    Holding your fragile heart

    At the me of the past long gone

    I'll remain here
    Tied down to my responsibility
    Holding you together

    Hope you haven't been tossed

    First Death
    At the dawn of night
    A crackle is heard
    Burning, hot light
    Scorched down the Earth

    A victim fell, burnt to the core
    @a101011 is no more

    Second Death
    The day started
    And the people gathered
    One was missing
    It was the Pirate King
    He was found dead
    Overnight he bled

    Third Death
    Stab and we'll win
    She said with a grin
    Let him die in pain
    This kingdom we will gain
    A ninja as a king?
    As impossible as fairy wing
    No point in trying to run
    Stab and we won

    Victory
    The knight holding grudges
    Stabbed for her family past
    The sorcerer felt betrayed
    Her king forsaked her life
    The double lost hope
    He decided to take the throne
    The war ended after long
    The kingdom shed its tears
    But it has not lost not much
    For its pillars haven't disappeared

    The day is warm
    The sun may be hurt
    But it still embraces you

    Giving its soft light to all
    Would you love it then?

    So, I wanted to say that if you wish for it (the weaknesses) to go away when you're a bundle of weakness, aren't you just wishing for your "self" (personality) to disappear?

    A greeting from the morning light
    A cup of tea to start the day
    Slowly wake up from the night
    At your side your love lay
    You realize again that all is right
    As you hear the songs of the blue jay

    A greeting from the morning light
    A cup of tea to start the day
    The sun rose, shining bright
    And the trees lazily sway

    Slowly wake up from the night
    At your side your love lay
    You realize again that all is right
    As you hear the songs of the blue jay

    ( @Risus 's rendition)
    Waking to the greeting of morning's light
    Cherishing love, at your side, they doth lay
    Leisurely sloughing off the sleepiness of night
    A fresh cup of tea starting off your day
    The sun rises, brilliantly bright
    Listening to the melodious sounds of a blue jay
    You gaze around and realize that all is right

    A river flows uncaring
    Leaving behind all
    Washing over everything
    Like the tears that fell

    Time flows uncaring
    Leaving behind regrets
    Opportunities lost and missed
    Memories as close reminders

    The crowd flows uncaring
    Leaving behind one
    Looking at those gone past
    A rush of emotions
    Left behind an empty void

    A river flows uncaring
    Leaving you behind
    It's undiscriminating

    A river flows uncaring
    Just as time passes us by
    Regardless of the past or future
    Life simply goes on

    The fire burns strong
    And it consumes us both
    But the fire burned wrong
    A night of passion I now loathe

    Hurt and guilt in your eyes
    A victim seeking friend
    Pain and scars in my cries
    A fellow, just as you planned

    "If you only get one wish, what would you wish for? I'd wish to be a charming person."

    I met a charming old man
    He asked me what I want to be
    A majestic dragon flying above
    Or a worm crawling beneath

    I met a charming old man
    He gave me a sword to take
    Asked me to arm myself
    Told me to be brave and strong

    I met a charming old man
    He reminded me of my wishes past
    The training I suffered through
    The glory I imagined and threw

    I met a charming old man
    He gave me a map for a journey of suffering
    A choice to walk along path of torture
    A path full of thorns and pain

    I am charmed by the words of an old man
    He prompted me to be great
    I saw the forgotten path to glory
    And I decided to go for a walk

    Hey you strangers from across the globe
    Meeting in an unlikely place
    Forming an unexpected bond
    For me, you're unforgettable
    - - -
    Hey you strangers from across the globe
    Who's been making my day rocks
    We normally won't be blokes
    It's funny how life works

    Living while being wary of others
    Their expectations, their reaction
    Not rebellious enough to break free
    My desire is not strong enough
    - - -
    Living while being watched by others
    Their eyes shining bright, their commands
    Not brave enough to cut the strings
    I will continue to be a pretty doll

    Living cowardly in hiding
    Like a rabbit in its burrows
    Trying to block off the outside
    The eyes keeping watch

    The young me was chasing my dreams
    Unaware they're not what it seems
    Fake dreams not of my own
    Nevertheless, ingrained in my bone

    Still, I continued chasing them
    Unsure, I went with some suggestions
    This is where I am after that
    Drifting about in a world so flat

    Cut me and we'll have a matching scar
    Tie me and I won't be less bizarre
    Exhibit me and I'll be your showstopping star
    My heart in your grasps and I'm yours to mar

    But if that's not what you want, I'll show you the light
    Away from those that haunt, away from those who bring fright
    My world so bright, a creature of darkness would be maimed
    But I'll shield you my knight, from both sides all the same

    For in you, there's my name, and I won't put you to shame
    - - -
    My light is for all to see
    But know that I'm yours
    I'll help you be free
    From the fears you abhors

    I'll be here at your side
    I'll stay close even if it hurts
    Holding you 'till you're dried
    Until you've gotten through this curse

    Sometimes it’s for survival
    Or to hide what’s beneath
    People don’t deserve to know anyway
    But others that do, don’t need to know

    Desperately hold on to the lies that is you
    My self-imposed images of you
    Desperately hold on to the lies that is me
    The things I want you to see
    Desperately hold on to the lies that is love
    A play created by and with the two actors
    p.s. I actually made it not with romantic love in mind :3

    To let it go is something I can't do

    You march on to war for victory
    Bearing flags and wishes of glory
    You fight to mark your name in history
    Bearing burden, grief and more injury

    You might think it is cause of ruth

    Alternative:
    Your heavy back I'll soothe
    Dont think of me as uncouth
    It's not for feelings like ruth
    Love, I'm speaking the truth

    I am deceived by the skin you wear
    A tiger's semblance both strong and weak
    Pulling me in by the contradiction
    Keeping me trapped in the puzzle that is you

    I am deceived by the skin you sport
    Revealing underneath your tiger's front
    A body that's strong yet you're still weak
    An image so brave but inside is meek

    A tiger's semblance both fierce and frail
    Your mystery keeping me at your tail
    Pulling me in by the contradiction
    Not letting go like an affliction
    A puzzle that is my addiction

    A cage without bar
    Shelter to call your own
    A nest built together
    Tune to call you home

    A tiger trapped unaware
    Warmth it found in its arrest
    A place to claim its lair
    Home it goes to lay and rest

    Even if the whole worlds against us
    Even if they judge this wrong
    But who are they to judge love
    As true as love can be

    Your presence intoxicating
    For you I’d do anything
    Together well have the last laugh
    Anyone in our way doesn't deserve our attentions

    Your life and death is mine
    I won’t let anyone take that away
    Flower to my heart, piercing deep
    Thorns wrapping and tangling me
    The pain, the blood
    Reminds me this is real
    And together we'll rule the world

    And together we are the world
    - - -
    My life, my blood pumps for you
    My death, you'll be the death of me
    My world, even if the others judge us wrong
    My love, as true as love can be

    My flower, rooting deep and binding me
    My fortress, holding me close, walling me in
    My blood, the red that signifies our passion
    My love, you are all I need in this world
    I was inspired from the love story of Joker and Harley Quinn in the Suicide Squad movie. I'm a sucker for these stories, dysfunctional intimate interdependent couples. I tried to show that painful love that I can't help but hold on to, the love where no one else matters and they won't mind trampling down everyone or everything for the 2 of them.

    Surrounded by many
    Yet, in my own solitude
    I’d find my eyes wander
    Seeking your silhouette

    Your shadow blurred by the crowd
    Your laugh rings empty in my mind
    Your presence gone from my heart
    Your image, left as but a silhouette

    Original version:
    Yet surrounded by many
    But my eyes wander
    Seeking your silhouette
    Your shadow long gone

    When I'm beside you, my heart is alight
    Brimming with warmth, shining bright
    When I think of you, my voice burns
    To reach you, to convey my hope of your return
    When I'm beside you, my body's your cure
    A cool breeze to embrace you and keep you secure
    When I think of you, my love is like fire
    Full of life, as it warms you without tire

    Our nest of shelter and warmth
    Our cage of peace and solace
    Our lair of comfort and smiles
    Of each other's company and embrace

    Whenever I look back to the start I still laugh
    At what has changed
    At how far we've gotten
    At the unlikely story of a tiger and bird

    Creating more perfect endings
    Building our nest stick by stick

    Accepting it, tho

    But I acknowledge
    I’m a kid

    And I can’t see myself
    As anything else

    Thus, I’ll be selfish
    I’ll pursue my own self interests
    For my own self’s happiness
    And my own selfish hopes

    Cause I'm a kid, I can be immature and selfish
    I'll think of myself first and foremost
    In this world filled with other people
    And their differing intentions
    I can’t discern what they think
    What they feel and what they mean
    I’m a kid, lost in this world
    As I hold my knees and go back to my own world
    Where I can be a selfish little kid
    And care only for my own selfish feelings

    At your memories of her

    Awakening to something more
    Missing your touches and marks
    Your claws and thorns
    Your embrace of pain
    And without you I'm torn

    I look at the scar you left me
    Longing for the pain, I seek for more
    Begging for him to mark me
    Erasing the scars that you put
    The image and longing
    Tear me apart and make me forget
    Leave a scar and make me his instead

    Sharpening her stories

    But if he's gone, it's an empty sight
    Dear Volx, please stay happy
    You're our excited little doggie

    Wrong steps and wrong moves
    The road below falls and crumbles
    Trapped and no way out found
    Fire burning all around
    Bridges fall and sirens wail
    The rescue squad came late

    Glancing, I find myself waiting
    Bubbly emotions, I look forward to more
    Hoping, for you to show up
    Lovely name, one that keeps ringing in me

    You cry your heart out
    Hoping for someone to come
    Pick you up and hugs
    Give you blanket and warmth

    You cry your heart out
    Hoping for the tears to disappear
    For the pain to ease
    But it still closely sticks

    You cry your heart out
    Not knowing the people behind you
    Ready to catch your fall
    Ready to keep you strong
    Ready to be your family
    To be your warmth
    - - -
    Sometimes it's the unlikeliest people
    From the unlikeliest places
    But to them you're a dear
    So be a dear and treasure yourself
    As they treasure you

    You hold me in place
    Tied down, I cant get free
    And there, you left me
    Tears shed alone, shattered

    You gaze upon me
    Entranced, I'm in love
    Again, you took my heart
    Just like before, shattered

    (source)
    Geared up with my best armor
    Each clink, a stride with confidence
    Bearing my pride on my sword

    A gallant figure standing tall
    A false image at its best
    When inside, it's all a mess

    Soulless heart jaded from war
    Parched throat tired of screaming
    Empty eyes dried of tears

    Again, I take my shield and sword
    And I'll take on to the fields once more
    Another day of this pointless war

    A flower on the road side
    Unnoticed and covered with dust
    Looked down on and trampled
    A little flower blooming alone

    A flower on the road side
    Against harsh wind and rain
    All the people running past
    A pretty flower blooming strong

    A flower on the road side
    Blooming for its own sake
    Beauty in all its simplicty
    A magnificent flower blooming without care
    - - -
    I read someone poem or post ending with "Forever you're a flower" and I wanted to make a related poem. My first thought was on the road side flowers. But the spirit of forever you're a flower might have been lost.

    I guess the fact that I grew up in the city affected my imagery of a roadside flower a lot. But it's a wild flower, usually only one or in a small amount. But its resilience is what's note worthy.

    Tread slowly upon the snow
    Leaving behind marks of our journey
    A sign that you're not alone
    Walk onward on this land of white

    Brave through upon the snow
    A land of solitude, a path of no end
    No signs of life, but you and me
    No other choice but to continue

    Don't sleep upon the snow
    I'll keep you company on this empty trek
    Though I might not talk
    And you might not understand
    I won't leave you behind
    Nor let you be alone
    Loyally by your side
    Upon this land of white
    - - -
    Made with the image of a wolf accompanying its master upon the snowy land with no life in sight, no ending, no beginning, nothing but the two of them and the looming death

    Just confess
    Your hearts desire
    Your goddess awaits
    For your first move

    Just confess
    Your hearts emotions
    Your flower blooming
    Hurry before others picked her

    A childhood dish
    Fond memories
    Of family gathering
    Laughter abounds

    A delicious meal
    Filling my heart
    Warmth and nostalgia
    A natural smile

    Star shining bright, my friend in the night
    Surrounded by darkness, sparkling without sharpness
    Gently glow without care, for all to adore without fail
    Dear star in the night, you're my heart's light

    Seek love and attention
    Crave warmth and embrace
    Crawl searching for care
    As you're looked at with contempt

    Cold gazes bringing chills
    Soulless embrace, filled with disgust
    But it's the attention you've seeked
    Hope you're happy with it

    Another 999 letters exchanged
    Getting used to our presence
    Spending time in each other's embrace
    Building the little place we call home

    Even if we're not sure of tomorrow
    This present will still stay true
    My dearest confidant and treasure
    Happy 100th to you
    And I'll look forward to 100 more~

    First best friend I've ever gotten
    Who I share secrets long forgotten

    From a voice that tickled the ears
    To the talks about our fears

    All and everything is laid bare
    And open for all to see, my care

    Foreign feeling and emotion rush
    I feel like a kid with a stupid crush

    I want to share this discovery but hush
    If they know, I can't help but feel flushed
    The last line was originally:
    You don't know if the other side would be flushed

    We know not of our future
    But I know for sure of the now
    Our exchange and wishes
    A lovers' embrace and kisses
    A company of excitement and tranquility
    My source of joy and serenity
    Love, while we're together, I'll treasure you
    I'll hold onto your hand from here on too

    Upon the full moon, the sea sways
    Undeterred, the waves push forward
    Clashing with the cliff, its last fight
    Its momentum so great, it simply wont stop
    In the end, it leaves behind an unforgettable view
    A firework of water, a moments beauty
    And its everlasting, permanent mark on the rocks
    - - -
    The dark sea under the full moon
    Rolling waves clash upon the cliff
    Leaving behind fireworks of water

    Life is but a moment of beauty
    The occasional flashes of rainbow
    But it's damn beautiful
    - - -
    Scenes not able to be captured by camera
    But will leave an everlasting mark on your eyes
    Its at times like these i want to be able to paint
    A view in my mind I cant share
    A view I want to immortalize and never forget
    - - -
    I was at a seaside clifftop bar, during a full moon. The waves were really big that they had to close part of the bar that's wet from the waves' splash, i.e. the waves hit the cliff and the splash reached the top of the cliff.
    I was just watching the waves roll and clash under the full moon. I loved it. Every second of it.
    It's one of those scenes where you're truly amazed and you can't help but stop and stare. A scene you know even if you take a picture, the picture won't do it justice, and you can only fully immerse in the moment and take it all in with your eyes.

    A frost flower bloomed
    Upon the ice cold land
    An empty white space
    Blessed with its beauty
    As it shines under the sun

    A frost flower bloomed
    Waiting for spring
    To be surrounded by flowers
    Its colorful and warm kin
    Its friends beyond the icy land
    Away from where the frost flower bloomed

    I realize it, I recognize it
    Yet I can’t do anything about it
    I overthink and overcomplicate
    My mind is always in a mess

    Apathetic eyes
    Hidden cries
    Emotions unwanted
    Pleas unvoiced

    Too used to silence
    Too comfortable with pain
    Tucked away so dearly
    Even if it struggles free
    It will remain hidden
    - - -
    Inspiration:
    Apathetic eyes hide silent cries.
    The heart beats pain, yet it's concealed inside.
    A strong jaw yet too afraid to open and vocalize.

    My mind goes all over the place
    At your simplest words
    I'm here losing sleep, worrying
    Closing my eyes, wishing and hoping

    But that’s just my mind talking
    What’s your real meaning
    Who knows what’s reality
    And what’s only my daydream

    Summer has ended
    But it will come again
    Where the days are long
    And the sun greets you warmly

    The season of excitement
    Of beach and travels
    Of holidays and hanging out
    Of fun

    Of summer

    Summer
    Season of fun
    As I dance alone
    Shining bright
    Under the sun

    Autumn
    Red leafs abound
    A scene of fire
    As the crimson dances
    Leaving behind you
    Under the trees of passion

    Winter
    The faint snow falling
    The white breaths
    The tranquil cold
    A familiar feeling
    As I’m held close to you

    Spring
    Season of joy
    As we dance together
    Flowers blooming
    In our hearts

    Intertwined
    And going stronger
    As the seasons go by

    Is it not the sweetest thing to say you're my wind
    What is a bird without wind afterall~
    I may have my wings but you're the one who lifts me up
    And gives me life
    Life that is the air I breath in
    To life that is flight that defines me
    Life is what you are to me <3

    A blue bird sings a melody
    Waiting for summer to come
    Waiting for it to fly back
    To where you're waiting, back home

    A blue bird sings a melody
    Until its voice runs dry
    Hoping you'll find it
    Hoping you'll reach where it is

    Is flight not the greatest thing?
    To be free from everything
    But thats false~
    What is freedom? Freedom is in the mind
    To not be held back and not be held down
    To think what you do is your choice and what's your choice is available for you to do
    To not think anything is weighing you down
    Perception is but a mind game
    And reality is but what you perceived
    Illusion is real
    The matrix is real

    Of the banters, the fights, the tears
    Of the serious discussions and craziness
    Of the memories
    I hold on to, desperately

    Happiness is selfish
    Would you rather world peace?
    Or a nice dinner at your table?
    Why enrich others
    When you're struggling to live

    Happiness is selfish
    Would you rather let other laze?
    While you're dead tired because of them?
    Why consider others
    When you're not being considered

    Happiness is selfish
    Would you rather fulfill expectations?
    Though it goes against your every being?
    Why fulfill other's wishes
    When yours is being crushed

    (source)
    Happiness is selfish
    Keep chasing your self away
    Chasing others' dreams and hope
    Keep lying to yourself
    Putting on a bitter smile

    Happiness is selfish
    Where's your wishes now
    Your passion in life left behind
    What's in your empty heart
    Desperately grasping at nothing

    Happiness is selfish
    Your joy sneered at
    Your hopes trampled
    Your identity disregarded
    I'd rather be selfish

    i think i wrote this more in line with "happiness should be selfish" we're too bothered by social success and such that we're trying to pursue the "common" definition of success and happiness when it's not always so.
    and also that a lot of people live for other people, that on itself is okay, but you see people trying to pursue other people's dreams and wishes at the expense of themselves. happiness is self defined. so shouldn't it be selfish? why are you being selfless and sacrificing your self

    Like magma
    Slowly creeping
    Deep red passion
    Burning everything
    Uncaring of its paths
    Its heat ever rising
    And it erupts loudly
    Bursting forth vehemently
    Flushing bright red
    Uncontainable emotions
    Unstoppable love

    Hold my hands
    As we walk in the darkness
    Keep me close
    As we travel the unknown
    Walk my path
    As we share this journey
    Write our story
    Of a lifetime

    Our end was not a forced one
    It was an amicable signing of a truce
    Our end was not in any war
    It was in a cafe at the corner of the streets
    Our end was not in death
    it was in separation

    Chaotic storm
    Taking the night away
    Waiting alone for a change
    The silence which brought relieve

    Neverending thunder
    Breaking the night apart
    Taking matters to their own hand
    The silence which brings fear

    A moonlit sky
    A wholesome, peaceful night
    The howls of the past remains
    The silence which never come

    A daylit night
    Darkness fall upon the eyes
    The cries of long past muffled
    The silence which takes all

    Elated to see you
    I reached out my hand
    Blocked by clear glass
    It wasn't there before
    Scared to even knock
    So I looked at you from afar
    Saddened by the distance
    Yet I know I'm the cause
    Elated to see you
    Even if I don't deserve to

    I'll be your doll
    Gullible and naive
    Point me where you wish
    Take hold of my strings

    I'll be your doll
    There to look pretty
    For you to show off
    I'll be whatever you wish

    I'll be your doll
    Forever be by your side
    Even if you're not by mine
    A permanent smile on my face

    A lifeless doll
    A forgotten toy
    Neglected over a better friend
    Thrown away when out of use

    All these are poems unpublished since 21 September 2016:
    Love is a series of commitment
    To you, to myself, to love
    My promises to treasure you
    To hold you dear, to keep you safe
    Your promises to treasure me
    To uphold my trust, to support me
    My promises to me
    Whether you know or not
    Is what makes me 'in love'

    My confidant
    The holder of my deepest secrets
    The only one who knows the truth
    The only one who can see me laid bare

    My treasure
    The best thing that's ever happened
    A gift to my monochromatic world
    A gift that brought my heart to life

    You'd give me my greatest wish
    And I'd be letting you in my life
    An exchange I will always look forward to
    Tho it will lead to nowhere
    You're still the greatest thing in my life
    The best thing in my heart
    The one I adore

    My treasure
    I'd like to give you the best gift I can
    Myself, on a ribbon for you
    Do you wish for it too?

    I can't say with confidence
    But everyday, I wish
    For a love that's forbidden
    A sweet fruit, served on a dish

    (source, replies to Peony)
    Must the change be of heartache?
    You'll reminiscent of the old times
    A nostalgic feeling with soft smiles
    Since your change makes you grin
    As you tackle the world with gritted teeth
    And a laugh to fill the void
    - - -
    Sing your hope and dreams
    The bubbles doesn't come from outside
    Seek warmth and comfort within
    The success of breaking through
    Sparks the joy and laughter

    Cozy beds only luls to sleep

    The forest sings of hopes
    Dreams it brings towards lost adventurers
    They may be lost forever in dreams
    Or get out with riches and tales of glory
    Better brave through with their swords in hand
    The forest sings of hopes
    And I'll sing for the future

    Basking under the sun
    Breathing in the chill air
    Walking along the pavement
    Skipping my steps lightly
    Humming a random tune
    Ridding myself of thoughts
    Letting any chains go
    Enjoying the moment as it is
    Living life weightlessly
    Looking almost like flying
    Freeing myself to spend the days
    Smiling at each passing moment

    She took up a pencil and puts it on the paper. Quiet, she kept her pencil still.
    A line, a circle, random scratches on her paper as she wonders what to create.
    She took off the pencil from the paper and left the "drawing" be.
    She came back with some water color. Picking her favourite colors she made her strokes
    Yellow petals over the circle, green to cover the line.
    Then she took off and left the "painting" be.
    Washing away her paint palette, she decided to use the crayons instead.
    Taking a brown one, she filled the circle. With a light and dark green color she colored over the green watercolor.
    Without fully coloring it in, she stopped. She pondered whether the watercolor would have been a better choice.
    She tried adding a few strokes to make it better. But she stopped in her tracks.
    She picked the paper up and looked at it. Before finally deciding that she's unsatisfied by it and left it behind.
    What she can't see, is her mismatch of colour and tools bloomed a unique and beautiful sunflower. One that inspires warmth in others.
    And none of her strokes were for naught

    Wind gently blew
    Swaying the soft brown hair
    Sitting among the colors
    Enjoying the flowers
    A girl donning a white dress

    Wind tenderly flew
    Spreading the sweet floral scent
    Caring for each one
    Showering with love
    The lady tending the garden

    Wind quietly shew
    Taking your breath away
    A magnificent landscape
    A marvelous sight
    A flower brimming with beauty

    Slowly peek through the door
    Careful to open a little more
    The barrier from uncertain future
    The shelter where we were nurtured

    Through the gap, chilly winds blew in
    Harsh light as far as can be seen
    A scene welcoming dread
    A view making you afraid

    Taking a step back you look
    The memories which made you shook
    To the scene when your heart cracked
    To days when you feel like a wreck

    You hands tighten to a fist
    A clear direction without any mist
    Your watery eyes shines its light
    A step with all her might

    Dearly hoping for the best
    A little bird leaves its nest
    Without any life vest
    Looking for a little rest

    Breathe underwater
    Floating weightlessly
    Where the current flows
    With the light shining through

    Black and white world
    Filled with silence
    Cold deadpan eyes

    Emotions like a swirl of currents
    Crashing against your skin
    Pushing your body aside
    Drowning your soul in it
    Yet you let it stay
    You give yourself to it
    Volunteers to be consumed
    You enjoy your powerlessness
    Indulging in the waves of the ocean
    - - -
    Letting myself drown in an ocean so deep and heavy
    Letting myself be, accepting the tears as it flows without resistance
    Letting myself get carried by the currents and torrents of emotions
    I was indulgent

    Drowning, I find myself somewhere I don't recognize.
    Drowning, I find myself someone I don't recognize.
    Drowning, I find myself someone I don't want to be.
    The river cares not who you are.
    It cares not where you hope to be.
    It cares not what you will be.
    But it's my life.
    And it'll be my regret.

    If I hope to soar like the bird I am, I must swim.
    And thus, I'll swim.

    A weak smile
    A warm heart
    All it has hoped
    Has finally come

    Her barren land loved
    No longer alone

    Beautifully as its last

    Fleeing the frigid winds
    Fleeting glimpse of your shine
    Flying closer in admiration

    Seeing your petals of ice
    Sitting carefully beside
    Saying my weak hello

    Peeking out to the white land
    The view the storm has sent
    Remnants of the storm gone past
    Who came and went just as fast

    The bird nuzzles the frost
    Who was there when she most
    Safely protecting her from harm
    An ice crystal who made her warm

    A fire bird found warmth in winter
    Without needing to go hither and thither
    The unlikeliest friendship grew
    From meetings so rare and few

    Singing my song deep within

    Enjoying the cool sand
    In which I ran my hand
    Under the red and white shade
    Cowering from the sun's blade

    Something I have long missed
    The wind which lightly kissed
    As the children run and played
    And my love at my side stayed

    A break from life so bland
    A vacation that's not too grand
    I don't need to go to swiss
    To enjoy this time of bliss

    A girl laughing silly
    Who I followed willy nilly
    Celebrating a day of nothing
    Which started to mean something

    A memory framed in
    Of pulled cheeks in a grin
    Laughing as we run around
    Finally feeling like we're found

    A moment stayed still
    Captured in the reel
    Unable to contain what we feel
    Intensity as if our first meal

    A magic swept me off of my feet
    Quickly it left after achieving its feat
    Wishing desperately to never rip
    Only to watch it surely slip

    A polaroid picture shared
    When we were still paired
    The only one I have kept
    Wet from the times I wept

    A girl laughing silly
    Who I followed willy nilly
    My treasure shining bright
    Empty without her in sight

    Pretty shells in pink
    Stronger than you think
    A shield for the pearl
    Decorated with whorl

    Loyal in its duty
    Hiding away the booty
    A chest of treasure
    But not up to measure

    Sometimes overlooked
    To remove when cooked
    Protecting the body
    It ain't too shoddy

    Pretty shells in pink
    That girls use to prink
    More than a knickknack
    It's a guard without lack

    For all to roam

    Happiness on a stick
    Sweet cold vanilla ice
    Covered in chocolate
    One bite, you'll feel light

    Our story started then
    The ice cream I gave
    To sweeten your day
    When you were down

    A dumbfounded face
    Cold from your cheek
    Confused you asked why
    I replied with a grin

    "So it doesn't melt,
    You have to eat it!"
    A small and cute gesture
    To bring sweetness back

    A little ice cream magic
    Freshening your dark mug
    Bringing back your smile
    Bringing you back to me

    Happiness from a stick
    From then on it grows
    Stories of our sweet life
    And the ice creams we share

    A star fawned and adored
    A star fit for the spotlight
    A star shining amidst the dark
    A star only in its wishes
    For it is only a starfish

    Without shine to light the sky
    Without charm to woo people
    Not high and looked up to
    Not loved and looked for
    It will only be a starfish

    Though it survives only by that
    Until the day it stops fighting
    Until the day it becomes a star

    One step on the sand
    Another step left a mark
    Trailing along the hot sand
    Marks of 2 pairs of feet
    Walking closely side by side

    The baby blue sandals
    With straps of white
    And a small flower
    Sitting on the center
    A remnant from our beach walks

    The baby blue of the bright sky
    A lovely sight, visible no longer
    A set of sandals now only one
    A pair of trail now no more
    Leaving behind a lonely one

    An orange sky with streaks of red
    I still walk on this sandy path
    Looking away from our memories
    Yet looking out for sights of you

    I walk again on the now cool sand
    With the water gently hitting me
    Waking me to this cold reality
    That I can no longer wear your gift

    An orange sandal with straps of red
    I still wish we were hand in hand
    Looking back to our days on this beach
    Yet looking... I am still looking

    Crackling laughs
    Surrounded the fire
    Sounds of metal hitting
    And lots of loud chewing

    Permeating warmth
    Spread from the fire
    Cheers and jeers mingling
    Drinks and stories shared

    Deepening bonds
    Tempered by the fire
    Family built over friendship

    I want to be a child again
    Running around on the sand again
    Being excited at the tides again
    Happy from building a castle again
    Made of sand, simple and plain

    Even though it was fleeting
    Even if they were small things
    Bliss through the whole seating
    Exploring with unhindered wings
    In my world, I was the king

    Now I'm buried under the sand
    Running away from what life planned
    Being lifeless from days so bland
    Happiness fit for sardines canned
    Grasping sand, slipping out of hand

    I used to bring the bucket around
    Making moats for my castle compound
    The whole beach was my playground
    Now inside the bucket I'd be found
    A cliff surrounding a burial mound

    In this inverted castle I am bound
    A crownless king that has been downed
    I dare not move in fear of getting drowned
    Part of the big world, I'm without sound
    I want to be a child again, smiles abound

    Staying as still as the water
    Calm waves washing over me
    Surrounded by the serene blue
    I reach out to the light

    Moonlight reflected on the water
    Does not compare to its beauty under
    A tight embrace of the ocean
    Finally I'm in the open

    Escaping bubbles, tightening chords
    Flashbacks play on the water theatre
    Up to the end, the curtain fell
    Closing over, no longer bright

    A darkness to conclude it all
    Faint smile at the little tought
    No more light, no more life
    Staying as still as the water

    A tangy orange breaks my trance
    Grab a hold, keep afloat
    Catch the life buoy thrown
    Don't throw your life away

    Faint sounds of loud people
    Like the angel's whispers
    But the blue pulls stronger
    And the shallows turn deep

    Desperately grasping at nothing
    Dearly hoping for something
    Despairing and gasping for air
    Dreading while choking on water

    Fighting for a breath
    As bubbles fill my vision
    The serene blue all across
    Once again I am lost
    - - -
    Gasp! I blinked and chocked
    I can still feel on my skin
    Unrelenting and intimate
    The cold embrace, the tight pull
    The water closing in on me

    Cough! I shudder and huddle
    The calm and serene blue
    My memories playing
    On the refracted light
    My body laying still

    Shivers. I rock and sway
    A moment of peace lulling me
    An eternal sleep welcoming me
    I can see my family gathering
    By the dinner table laughing

    Smile. I close my eyes
    The smell of sweets and bread
    The donut of my childhood
    A precious treasure of rarity
    I reached for the lost memory

    Splash! I grabbed on tightly
    Belligerent and shocked
    Confused and unaware
    Only knowing that I was safe
    From a sleep more peaceful
    Than I had bargained for

    We gather and sit by the table
    Surrounding the delectable
    A watermelon, big and fresh
    To battle the heat and refresh

    Our little summer ritual
    Where happiness is mutual
    Stories and laughter abound
    But only support all around

    Little by little the ritual faded
    The fresh gathering now jaded
    No one left to lend an ear
    And my treat salty from tears

    Dissatisfaction from the simplest things
    Differences without understandings
    No more ears and shoulders
    Just one-sided power holders

    The gathering of joy and life
    Overtaken by shouts and strife
    Eating my watermelon in reminiscent

    Make me cool and protect me
    From the blaring sunlight
    Make me cool and protect me
    Even more from glaring eyes

    Meek and quiet, a weirdo
    I was called by my mates
    With pointing fingers
    With jeers and stares

    Meek and quiet, I can't refute

    How I wish it's different
    How I wish I could speak up
    How I wish I'm not meek
    How I wish I'm not me

    I changed my clothes to trendy
    Hoping it'll be like magic
    I changed my glasses to shades
    Hoping it'll hide my scared eyes

    Make me cool and protect me
    I must never show my teary eyes
    Make me cool and protect me
    I must never show my feeble heart

    The blaring light shines upon
    Giving the blessing of sight
    Taking away the shivering cold
    A dominant presence unhidden

    The big sun in the clouds
    Shining bright at us
    Tirelessly giving energy
    Accompanying our day

    The stars scattered up above
    They flicker small and faint
    But you're mistaken! Look closely!
    They're all big suns, far away

    The little suns in the sky
    Thousands lighting the dark
    Giving a romantic sight
    Accompanying our night

    The gentle smile on your lips
    The loving care of your arms
    Whose warmth is beyond compare
    My personal sun by my side

    The bright sun in my heart
    Whose brilliance outshine
    All other suns in the sky
    Accompanying me all my life

    A stir of the swizzle
    It has been a long day
    Even if it's not past nine
    Getting on my little sail

    A little bit of fizzle
    Want to go for a little yay
    Spend time with dearly mine
    Go on a laid back trail

    It's not time for a drizzle
    I'm going to enjoy my holiday
    A little alcohol is fine
    An escapade of cocktail

    It has been a long day
    Not wanting to hit the hay
    Want to go for a little yay
    Gonna go out of my way
    And get myself a holiday

    Not checking my email
    Getting on my little sail
    Go on a laid back trail
    Escapade with my cocktail

    A stir of the swizzle
    A little bit of fizzle
    To match with the sizzle
    It's not time for a drizzle

    A little alcohol is fine
    Some fine mix of wine
    Made by dearly mine
    From the greatest vine
    Even if it's not past nine

    A single colour among the sand
    A ball stranded by the beach
    Vivid and vibrant, yet also dull
    A beach ball left in the dust

    A sad and lonely existence
    A playmate with no mate to play
    Reminiscing the old times
    Imagining a fictitious future

    Wail at the faraway ocean
    Cry at the empty seas
    At nothing and no one
    Only to hear its own agony

    On the turn of the season
    The chilly winds blow
    Another day same old
    Except for a small presence

    A warmth long longed for
    A laugh dearly missed
    A hold that mean the world
    Wrapped in the tiny arms

    Not at the sea is fine
    Being dirty with mud is fun
    I'll play and bounce again
    Finally I'll smile again

    The cold stillness of the air

    Words can no longer convey
    How you have made my heart sway
    Like magic, you made life not grey
    Dear, let me take you away

    I was but a lone stray
    Passing by you said hey
    By chance you came that day
    Then, You were nothing but a prey

    Never thought I'd want you to stay
    Until the day we will both lay
    Together for eternity, I pray
    My sweet lovely little fay

    @Accidentally
    Everyday i made a small story on my own.
    As many star in the sky with different shape of their own.
    I lift up my pen and drown deep on my thought.
    What story today could give me i wonder...

    @Pyoo
    A story of a little girl destined for more
    A story of an orphan boy taking up sword
    A story of kings, their fall and ruin
    Different worlds and different people

    @Land Of Tea
    Myrid worlds, myrid stories
    Some fade away, some shine brilliantly
    where there is light there will be darkness

    @Mindless-Genius
    A story of shipwrecked sailor living in a shore
    A story of a greedy king wanting more and more
    I am thinking stories for today
    Just like I did yesterday
    I think and think just to find my own true story
    And to create it as a masterpiece of it's own

    @Bielt
    My imagination fly freely
    As my pen dance over the white paper
    Words which becomes worlds
    Emotions which becomes life

    @Trent
    Suddenly, inspiration strikes!
    A new world starts coming to light,
    And as my thoughts fill up the page,
    Words make magic; am I a mage!?

    @Yurika
    Memories of our past
    how long 'twill last
    The feelings that we shared
    The lies that was bared

    I'm a creature from your imagination
    And I will never be a someone else imitation
    I'll surpass all of the limitation
    and never fear any intimidation

    @Zone Q11
    I am there for everyone, big or small.
    I will always be loyal and answer your call.
    So everything will be fine, even if you hit a wall,
    For I will be there as I will never fall.

    @Mindless-Genius
    This poem is getting far from where it began
    It's good but it's not what I want
    It's ok, I know people are trying their best
    But I am still writing this line
    So people, get the true meaning

    @Osamaru
    We we'll end the day, around our friends
    then smile wide and drop our pens.
    but no matter how the story bends
    This isn't how the story ends

    @Fabulist Ed
    Words of life are uncertain by nature
    be it epic or be it bland
    from glorious start to lacklustre ends
    Journeys uncertain, is the alluring curtain
    For it is not satisfaction I so desire
    but the avoidance of life' dreary mire

    @hatoyin97
    A stroke of pen, a beginning of a tale.
    In my wonder, mystical worlds dances to life.
    Unbounded by reality, caged in thoughts.
    A sentence, I shall realise my own reality.

    @Aster Anemone
    Some hard facts some wandering fantasies
    moving fingers on blank pages
    feeling faded canopies
    watching moving long dead sages

    @Mindless-Genius
    I am surprised by the number of paragraphs here
    It's more than good , it's fare
    I love to see that I am writing today
    Hoping to achieve what I didn't yesterday
    I hope this story goes on
    Till dusk to the dawn

    @Pyoo
    Everyday we make small stories on our own
    Like the stars in the sky, small but many
    Together creating shapes and constellations
    Today too, I lift up my pen and let my hands flow
    What story would the stars create today, I wonder~

    @Zone Q11
    Reserving too many stories,
    I get weaker by the day.
    Forgetting about the chronology and the categories,
    I fall down and stop the play.

    @BlancFrost
    Many people, many minds
    Many talents all combined
    To show the world
    They have no fear
    To put downs thoughts that slowly disappear

    Escaping out through the cracks
    Slipping through as there's no turning back
    Black and white is what they see
    Black and white is all they need

    In the Flanders fields the poppies grow
    A marker for the nameless and unknown
    Don't forget us, don't forget us
    We were once loved, we were once brave
    We were once glorified as heroes of the land
    Don't forget us, don't forget us
    In the fields of sunset blooms
    Under the fields of thunderous booms
    Don't forget us, don't forget us
    A marker for the long forgotten
    The Flanders field where poppies grow
    - - -
    Talks of red flowers and war always reminds me of poppies and flanders field. This is the poem I was sorta referencing: In Flanders Fields. Poppies is used in remembrance days when you remember the lost lives and past soldiers, seems fitting somehow

    Melt in your mouth goodness

    Each only a tiny piece
    One by one they come
    Like the drops of snow
    Slowly covering the land
    Steadily come and gather
    Creating a sheet of white
    A canvas for more ink
    A playground for writers
    A pool filled with rhymes

    A little birdie will always sing

    A bird sang to the wind
    Merrily sang on its tree
    But as winds are it came and left
    But as trees are it only stands quietly
    And the bird was left on its own

    The small chick continues singing
    Hoping for more people to come
    An old man came by for some shade
    Excited, the little feathers sang louder
    Until the park sparked with colour

    More people came, more people left
    Some joined with their own tunes
    Creating a song much better
    Than when she was on her own
    Blooming a park teeming with life

    A bird sings to the wind
    Letting it carry over her tunes
    To the people who come and go
    To the presences who bring warmth
    And to the reason for her singing

    (source)
    Evil and good side by side
    Two sides of a coin
    All inside any people
    None free from the other

    (source)
    A baby tiger that's playing around
    A little king before it takes its crown
    The sight of them running and jumping
    Now rare with their lands disappearing
    They mourn and cry for their lost homes
    But the humans can only hear their roars
    In fear we take up our sticks and stones
    In fear they take out their claws and fangs
    Are we not the same in our cries
    Are we not the same in our fears
    Are we not the same
    Longing for a home
    To call our own

    Outside my window
    Winter is harsh~
    Walking alone
    I~ look up to the sky~

    Hand in my chest
    As~ it starts to fall~
    The rain- that only I~ can see~

    Looking away
    I dicided to stay~
    A world without you
    Is a world thats only of cold~

    And in your hands
    I looked at your face
    And- in this picture I~ will stay~

    (source, related to Captured)
    I walked on today as well
    Went through the usual roads again
    All alone as I pass by the park
    No more of your laugh as company

    My treasure no more
    My treasure even so
    Hold me tight and don't let go
    Inside the Polaroid frames

    The world beyond is scary
    Outside the frames, life is harsh
    Darling I need you by my side
    Keep me safe inside your arms

    The warmth of the sun in my grasp
    Even amidst the winter's blizzard
    Blissful in my own memories
    Etched on the white canvas

    Spread throughout my sight
    Happy moments, joyous occasions
    As cold seeps in unnoticed
    And the mind wanders away

    A wide smile
    A beautiful sight
    Of a lucky one
    Showered with love

    With tears invisible
    To anyone but themselves
    Who bleed as much
    As they are hidden

    Whose scars form a smile
    Showing their happiness
    Because kindness isn't kind
    And laughter can not be forced

    Your life is so great
    Yet you still complain
    Look at the things you have
    You should be grateful

    I'm grateful for my stress
    Gritted teeth And fitful rests
    Because it taught me
    Kindness isn't kind

    I'm grateful for my pains
    because it taught me
    Happiness isn't yours
    Happiness is mine

    It's not yours to give
    Nor to force to others
    It's mine to define
    And mine to get

    You call me your sun
    Yet you're the one I go to for warmth
    You call me the best
    Yet you're the one I go to to rest
    You call me a star
    Yet you're my light amidst the dark
    You call me the moon
    Yet you're the one who keeps making me swooned
    You call me your light
    And I want to tell you you're mine

    You dropped me off into a land of strangers
    Only to find myself among angels
    Like minded family and friends
    Who are there through odds and ends

    Spinning your wheel of fate
    I landed on quite a good slate
    Fickle Lady Luck, it was only by chance
    To have what I have from only a glance

    Nausea and fatigue
    Stretchmarks on my skin
    A bump on my lean body
    But I've fallen for you already

    You kicked and I was surprised
    I too can't wait until we meet
    For our encounter of a lifetime
    But actually I love you already

    (source)
    I went to the same place again
    Ordered the same coffee again
    Sat at the same spot again
    By the window where the sun shines

    Overlooking the same sight again
    Thinking about live again
    Arriving at the same sigh again
    But this time you caught my sigh

    A slight difference among the usual
    Has changed my life grandly
    A chance meeting that's only casual
    Made me fall so quick and utterly

    (source)
    A swirl of the hand
    Enjoying its delightful scent
    A tip of the glass
    Enough for its marvelous taste
    A smile of the lady
    Intoxication to the highest degree

    A chat on a whim
    Enjoying each other's company
    A touch on my waist
    Enough to make my heart skip
    A peck on your lips
    Intoxication to the highest degree

    (source)
    A sense of gravity

    The light in front of me fading
    As I feel myself falling
    Freely without harness
    Leaving me with darkness

    My sole company

    A depth without an end
    An abyss with an end
    Calmly taking over and disorienting
    The sole power amidst the nothing

    Sinking eternally

    Stop and float in space
    Stop and crash in place
    Both things to abhor
    Gravity as my anchor

    Wishing indecisively

    In the middle if darkness
    With nothing as a harness
    I feel myself fading
    Into the gravity, blending

    (source, in reply to Siostar)
    It's okay cause there's chocolate
    To give me energy i'll need to outlet
    Ice cream and sweets as my booster
    Even if sick i'll still work like rooster

    Tell me dear, what should I do?
    My heart grows cold, to think its true,
    Tell me love, how to stop the pain.
    The love we share, has it begun to wane?

    Let me cry, first~
    Hold me close, first~
    All I want from, you
    To put me, first~

    All I wish, is to hear your voice.
    to know I'll always, be your first choice
    to be the one, always on your mind
    but was I a fool? or was I blind?

    Let me cry first~
    Hold me close first~
    All I want from you
    To put me first~

    Maybe it's selfish, but I don't care
    If my heart is true, I don't want to share
    all I want, is your eyes on Me,
    for my love to be, the first you see.

    Let me cry first~
    Hold me close first~
    All I want from you

    Our end was not a forced one
    It was an amicable signing of a truce
    Our end was not in any war
    It was in a cafe at the corner of the streets
    Our end was not in death
    it was in separation.

    It was a slowly dying flame,
    Who's warmth gently faded.
    It was the changing of a season,
    the passing of time and changing leaves.
    It was something we both saw coming,
    but were to numb to stop from bearing fruit.
    Now it whithers slowly
    Like your bouquet
    Petals falling gradually
    Like my tears
    Unhindered, unintentionally
    Like our hearts
    Crumbling quietly

    Because it still aches
    like a wound, freshly open
    when your eyes land on another,
    like they once gazed at me.
    and I watch you gently drift away,
    like dry and crumbling leaves
    scattered by the autumn wind.

    (source)
    Shrieks and screams
    Gripping your heart
    As your breath disappears

    Eerie silence of death
    Welcomes the braves
    Who passed the border

    Gatekeepers of hell
    Hides in the shadows
    Burning those who dare

    The feather moves across the paper
    Leaving its trace for the world to see
    Yet not one knows of this shadow
    An unnamed even to the end

    Even through the hidden mysteries
    She's still the one we love to the end

    A tiptoe and a creak
    A little ninja has snuck in
    Switching documents around
    A naughty skillful ninja has come in

    Lady Blanc paced in panic
    "The mischevious ninja!" she shouted
    But there is a new document
    The curious ninja left behind
    A drawing of Lady Blanc's smile
    May be the ninja is nice after all

    A tiptoe and a creak
    A little shadow snuck in
    Going to and fro and all around
    A sneaky shadow cleaned the mess

    Carefully without any sound
    A quiet shadow moved around
    Shh~ tell no soul~!

    Looming over the bright sky
    A dark, commanding presence
    Covering the day with darkness
    Taking away the warmth

    A rare sight to behold
    Of the moons magnificence
    Often forgotten and untold
    Yet no eyes dare to see

    A presence of fear
    A presence of gloom
    A rare sight to behold
    With no one watching

    No broad smiles
    No gasps of awe
    Only shakes and chills
    And eyes shy with dread

    A silent tear
    A quiet weep
    A quick escape
    Before its heart break

    Never did it mean for this
    Never did it want this
    Never did it wish
    To be denied like this

    All it longs for, it never sees
    Lively children along the field
    The hustle bustle of humans
    Warm days it never had

    The moon’s shadow loomed
    Over the sky with gloom
    Soundlessly it disappears
    Hoping for something not fears

    Taking on a different form
    To one that’s a bit more warm
    It steps onto earth to roam
    Longing for a welcoming home

    The world on paper is unbound
    As free as imagination allows
    Limitless like the great blue sky
    Yet for a holder of a pen
    For the narrator of a play
    You're confined
    Restricted by words you said
    Enclosed by rules you set

    The world outside is vast
    With mountains as high as the clouds
    With seas deep and dark
    Many faces and their numerous stories
    Many paths and walkways unexplored
    Yet for an explorer you're bordered
    Surrounded by walls as thin as paper
    One by the name of fear

    Unwilling to taint the canvas
    Hesitant to take it away
    In a small white room I stayed
    Alone with gloomy thoughts
    Circled by the intimidating blank
    Petrified by the what-ifs and could-bes
    Crumpled by the weight of stillness

    The world is broad and infinite
    But would you be willing to make it so

    In a small white room I stayed

    That I can be weak
    That I can be enough
    Yet in the white room
    I continue to stay

    "Let my voice reach you,
    Let me inside your world"
    An indistinct tap echoes
    Rousing my restless sleep

    "So that we can grow together"
    A faint knock whispers
    Carrying with it warmth
    Foreign in my small white room

    My rigid body unfurls
    My athropied shell creaks
    My sore and tense muscles stretch
    My frigid heart beats

    Kissing the ground
    Waiting to be slaughtered
    Nothing but a chicken

    Are you satisfied?
    Happy with only clucking
    Without lives of your own
    Nothing more than livestock

    Alive only to eat and die
    Beautiful only on the plate
    To fill others' bellies full
    Nothing left after but trash

    (source; the theme is [Evil Intentions] and [Secrets])
    Don't break yourself
    Let go of the burdens
    The veil of fortitude
    Let me see your bare self

    The beautiful you as you are
    Without frivolous decorations
    Without the defensive shields
    Without the masks you don

    Take away the guise
    The ones for strangers
    Don't handle it alone
    Let me carry it along

    I'll embrace your imperfections
    I'll be your strength at your weak
    I'll be here to support you
    Let me in your world

    Soft, tender whispers
    Embracing warmly
    Stripping the layers
    One by one, slowly

    For what reason did you come
    For your curiosity or compassion
    For your overflowing good intention
    Or is it you who is actually masked

    Dear santa
    Have I been a bad boy?
    Why didn't you come?
    I only have one wish

    Dear Santa
    All I want is my papa
    Why is he not back?
    I promise to be good

    Dear Santa
    Please

    I love you, I truly do
    I'm sorry, my dear
    Only you can save us
    She was never seen again

    A girl so young and innocent
    beautiful with her bright smiles
    Full of spirit in this time of hardship
    Sent off only to be broken

    In the time of hunger
    Where the worst will come
    The lesser of two evils
    Is still a light in the road

    Even if the light is dim
    Dark and bloody

    Scavenging everywhere for scraps
    Only to find other diggers
    For even the tiniest bits
    Are like golden rares
    Treasures beyond precious
    Only existing as a fantasy

    Surrounded by fellow hunters
    But no one is a companion
    Driven mad by hunger
    Gone senile by fright
    This is a fight they'll fight
    Even just for one measly bite

    When you lose your food
    You start losing more things
    Even your sense of self
    Stripped of other necessities
    Your sole drive is survival
    Even at the cost of your soul

    Uninvited yet it lingers, rejected yet it stays
    We never welcomed it with open arms
    Now we can only open our hands
    Desperately begging for even crumbs
    Tightly cupping for even rainfall
    Shaky hands wet with precisious water
    To help quench the gripping hunger

    It's the same road
    Though different building
    Conflicting visions
    Scenes of long gone

    It's the same corner
    Yet a different feeling
    Fading memories
    Pangs of nostalgia

    It's not the same place
    Filled with different people
    But the same laughter and joy
    Surrounding my melancholy
    - - -
    Distant and long gone
    Treasured nonetheless
    Each instant, each second
    Still close to my heart

    We only want to play
    Running across the field
    Against the swaying grass
    As the wind brush past

    It's a simple little dream
    To be just like any children
    Running together unhindered
    Roaring laughter unworried

    But like an irrefutable promise
    Like a child seeking playmates
    Ending our simple pleasure
    Adults with roaring laughter

    As hell greets reality
    As life and death confound
    We continue to run
    Running from slaughter

    We dream simply
    Yet the war never ends
    The attacks never die
    Only my friends one by one

    In their peaceful slumber
    I hope they now live a dream
    Our lifelong unrealized wish
    To laugh without fear

    Prompt: An old woman watching the rain while remembering her youth (by @Bielt )

    Thunderous roars
    Madly flying past
    Raging and bold
    Spirited and vigorous

    A sudden storm
    Catching my breath away
    But ever so short lived
    My first love

    A story long past
    Of passionate times
    Of two youths in love
    With nothing else but love

    But that is just a memory
    How time have changed
    Bones tired and weary
    Hair of white and grey

    Our feet no longer strong
    Our dance no longer feverish
    Our flames no longer burning
    Our love no longer roaring

    All that's left is a small trickle
    A rainbow in the sky
    A field full of life
    A house weathered by storm

    A home strengthened by storm

    Prompt by @Osamaru

    My dearly beloved
    Please grow strong
    Solid and gallant wings
    To fly wherever you want

    My dearly beloved
    Please grow gracefully
    Reverberant sound, exquisite songs
    To be heard even in the farthest lands

    My dearly beloved
    Please grow kind
    Helping hand in hand
    Through the harsh winter

    My dearly beloved
    Please grow up
    I cannot be with you long
    But I hope you will carry on

    My dearly beloved
    I love you forever and always
    This overflowing warmth
    I hope you can feel it too

    Prompt by @Osamaru

    The scary night has passed
    Of chilling wind and creeping snow
    Of blinding white and solitude
    Of being saved by your arms

    Was it scary for you too
    Are you frightened stiff
    Have you gone cold from fear
    The storm have stopped now, don't you worry

    Thank you for protecting me
    I won't let you worry
    I won't let you be sad
    I won't let you be sorry

    I'll grow strong and full of grace
    I'll grow up warm and kind
    Just as you were with me
    I love you forever and always

    It's me against the world
    So I have to be tough
    Tough to those under
    Tough to those above
    Especially, tough to myself

    What a tiring way of living
    Surrounded by hostiles
    Angry faces and backbites
    But you'll preservere
    Because a leader must be hated

    What an ugly way of living
    Talk before you're talked
    Hurt so you're not hurt
    Persuade and manipulate
    All for the sake of your goal

    What a bloody way of living
    Blame the whole world
    For pushing her away
    When she's the one pushing
    In the end, what's left?

    I don my festive lights
    Among the celebrations
    Smiles of families gathered
    Shining bright for the humans
    While choking and barely alive

    How can you smile so bright
    While others are suffering
    How can you laugh so loud
    Just because you can't hear
    Just because I'm not you

    I haven't chosen this
    To be sacrificed
    To be the one in pain
    For the happiness of others
    I was never given the choice

    Amidst all these cheers
    The feast, the lights
    The hymns praising the Lord
    I can only shed silent tears
    Counting my final days

    It was not my intention to call
    To shine, to allure, to seduce
    To bring you any warmth
    All the way to you deathbed

    I am just here, waiting
    Waiting for all this to end
    Waiting for the guilt to disappear
    Waiting for a blameless life

    But all is for naught
    And one by one they come
    Seeking warmth I dont intend to give
    Seeking light I dont intend to have

    Is the fault still mine to bear?
    - - -
    If my warmth invites
    If my beauty endangers
    If my smile erases
    Then should I end it all?

    What's the use of kindness
    If all it brings is misery
    What's the use of a life
    If all it brings is disaster

    The rose by nature has thorns
    The flame by nature burns hot
    It is the natural way of the world
    For the beauty to protect themselves
    For me to be guarded by death

    It may not be my sin
    It might not be my fault
    But the lives lost won't return
    And the wails of those left echoes
    Along with their cries of vengeance
    - - -
    I am powerless and incapable
    The only way I can protect myself
    Annihilating those who hold me
    Eradicating those who embrace

    A flame by nature burns hot
    But it contains no warmth
    Neither friends nor foes
    Only the curse of solitude

    Never satisfied with what you have
    Every little faults magnified
    Like shackles binding tightly
    Taking away your freedom

    But you would never be free
    The shackles will never leave
    Weighing down as you walk
    A cripple with limited movements

    Listen to the music
    Count your blessings
    Let your body move and dance away
    The shackles hinder nothing

    For you would never be free
    The shackles will never leave
    So enjoy the clinks of the chain
    Let it be part of the music

    Dance to the chains
    Let yourself be free
    Unlimited, unbound
    Full of life and spirit

    You would never be satisfied with what you have
    Every little faults magnified
    Yet the blessings goes uncounted

    You're bound and shackled
    In your self-created prison
    But you would never be free

    The shackles will never leave
    So forget about the weights
    About the cold metal bind

    Dance the thoughts away
    the cuffs hinders nothing
    the chains mean nothing

    The restrain still exist
    The faults won't go away
    But you can be free

    You can choose to dance
    Enjoy the clinks of the chain
    Let it be part of the music

    Not limited and bound
    By shackles you create
    By the wrongs and errors

    Count your blessings
    Listen to the music
    Let yourself dance away

    I don't say I love you out of reflex
    I say it to convince myself
    I'll feel that way for you
    That is my greatest promise

    I don't say I love you out of habit
    I say it out of responsibility
    I'll continue feeling that way
    To uphold my sacred promise

    I don't say I love you out of obligation
    I say it to show you my dedication
    Because I chose you as you did me
    Tie the bond of our promise

    I don't say I love you out of love
    I say it as my commitment
    Because love is fleeting
    While our promise is everlasting

    Flower on a mountain
    Blooming amidst harshness
    Cold and barren land
    Only emphasizes its beauty

    Delicate white petals
    Among the jagged rocks
    Narrow paths steep cliffs
    Danger at every step

    Show me your will and strength
    Your resolve and determination
    Show me what I mean to you
    Only then will I say yes

    This is my test of love
    My show of will
    My efforts for you
    My flower on a mountain

    Please accept my offering
    My embodiment of love
    Please say you love me
    I want to make you mine

    Delicate beauty
    Unparalleled strength
    My lovely edelweiss
    My heart is captivated

    Flower on a mountain
    Please say you love me too
    I'm not able to obtain it
    But I had hoped to obtain you​

    Lovely edelweiss
    Don't take him away
    I am his and he is mine
    Please bring him back to me

    If I'm your flower
    You are my mountain
    I'm yours and you are mine
    Only because of you I'm alive

    How can we be together
    If you don't return
    How can you say you love me
    Then leave me behind

    A fool is what you are
    I don't need a flower
    I don't need a mountain
    I only needed you
    Throughout all this time

    Loud explosion, smell of burning
    Charred remains of war remaining
    Left behind, broken and abused
    Abandoned, nothing could be used

    But we will see to it
    The land the humans left
    Forgotten and given up on
    We will tend the crying soil

    Standing tall in the charred remains
    Swaying by the moutain wind
    The land of war, we are saving
    Back to mother nature's caring

    Until it's brimmimg with beauty again
    Bright green leaves and soft purple petals
    Leaving behind old memories of pain and grief
    Renewing it with warm sights and gentle smiles

    An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
    If you're prepared to pull the trigger
    Don't be surprised if someone else too
    Hurt and sorrow breeds revenge

    Why do you reap so much pain
    Why do you choose to harm
    Put yourself in their shoes
    How it feels to be the ones hurt

    If you can't sympathize, I'll help you out
    The lives ruined, the relations broken
    The tears shed, the hearts bled
    Even if it's petty, I'll show you your crimes

    An eye for an eye, a tooth for a tooth
    The sufferings of the weak and lesser
    The damage they had, the hurt they felt
    I'll make sure you feel it too

    Today the rain came again
    Bringing with it harsh flurries
    Carrying with it fear and sorrow
    Today the thunder came again
    Bringing with it terrifying memories
    Carrying with it haunting despair

    No more shall we be under its rule
    No more shall we cower in hiding
    For the time of our wish and desire
    No longer will we be pushed down
    No longer will we cower in fear
    For our time of vengeance

    We have prepared and prepared
    We have armed ourselves
    Together we will fight
    For revenge of our brothers
    For protection of our young
    Together we will rise

    We don our masks of bravery
    We bear our swords of steel
    Against the fear, against the despair
    But our bravery is foolish and naive
    But our display of vigor for naught
    Steel will not win against thunder

    The target of nature's attacks
    It's uncontained wrath we don't deserve
    It's roaring strike we can't defend
    Even our valiant show of power
    Empty promises of what we don't have
    Broken hopes of what we won't have

    Tonight is another sleepless night

    The prompt is from @Bielt :
    The moist earth greedly drinks our blood,
    And the darkening skies threatens our sanity..
    We hurdle closer to escape the cold as the last of the embers starts to die.
    Trying to find any feeling of protection we hide between the trenches dung on the half frozen soil.
    The wind resounds with the sounds of thunder,
    And soon the black rain starts to fall again.

    But what we fear more is not the black rain..
    .. No..
    It's the idea that we may never leave this place... Like our brothers haven't.."

    The mirror on the wall
    Wont show the fairest of them all
    But itll be fair and true
    Revealing the actual you
    Reflecting what it sees
    Without trying to appease
    Although it causes displeasure
    You should use it as a measure
    Because the mirror is true and fair
    Displaying all without flair

    The mirror on the wall
    Unfazed it stands tall
    It will return the what is
    Even if that is a miss
    It wont show what you wished

    No one likes the truth
    How different it is
    From our hopes and dreams
    From our imaginations
    From our expectations

    Everyone is blindsided
    To their own strengths
    To their own flaws
    So I make sure to help
    Reflect back what others see

    Because human is defined
    By their people
    Our self-definition is incomplete
    Without external inputs
    Without societies views

    And I have taken upon me
    The role as messenger of the mirror
    To reflect what I see
    To show what people felt
    To act how they deserve

    They don't deserve better
    They don't deserve worse
    They deserve the truth

    Disappeared once lost
    And nowhere to be found
    Yet it lingers closely
    A trick of the mind

    Confused I looked back
    Confused I looked forward
    Talking and listening
    Yet no answers were found
    Only decisions to be made

    Within I still hoped
    Inside I was still stuck
    Not keeping up with the change
    Wondering of the lost and gone
    Trapped in a mirror, looking on

    The monkey called
    The monkey dragged
    The mind spiraled
    A dive to the waters below

    Jump in and feel the wind
    Jump in and feel the rush
    Water breaking and drowning
    An acceptance like no other

    The still and cold water
    The serene and quite water
    Stay and look upon the light
    Streaks upon the blue

    Swaying gently in a dance
    Swaying slowly in a trance
    As time stops still
    Looking upon, unmoving

    No matter what life gives, the fact that you're not alone all amounts to something.

    But in all of them there's good. If you pick and choose and try to look hard enough there's good.

    Falling freely in the sky
    Bittersweet memories left behind
    As the leaves fall in the autumn sky

    All that drama when we fight and cry
    Cast aside on the ground

    New drama, fun, sad moments in the making
    New friends, new love, new memories

    Recounting. Recalling. Ruminating.

    Nostalgic memories burn alight
    Falling slowly in the sky
    Since when did we lose that excitement
    Since when are we stuck falling

    Stagnant and still, calm and dull
    Waiting for this autumn to pass
    While the children run and laugh
    Here we are, with quiet worries

    Even after the seasons flowed and turned
    Because the years have passed
    What was once beautiful incidents
    Are only burdens for this separation

    Hesitating. Holding back. Hoping.

    Waiting to turn over a new leaf

    Like a mirror, you show what people seek
    Like a mirror, you show what people bring
    Like a mirror, you don't show yourself
    But a mirror is a brittle and fragile

    You keep your heart in a locked box
    Encased in pretty jewels like a treasure
    Tightly, with no key to open it
    Because it's the safest way you know

    But you won't know it is dying
    Withering from lack of air
    Crippling from lack of space
    Shrinking from lack of sun

    Until it is a remnant of its former self
    Decayed withered rotten moldy
    Crumbles of dried and hardened old
    No longer the thing treasured

    The joy of the good
    The nightmare of the bad
    The courier of karma
    That is who I am

    The embodiment of revenge
    The bringer of consequence
    The messenger of the mirror
    That is what I am

    A knowing saint and an intentional sinner
    Acting as if I'm the angel of judgement
    Under the guise of a jury and executioner
    Delivering just and fair punishment

    Drunk in my self-assigned role
    Misconceptions of power
    When all other people saw
    Was childish retaliation

    A mirror is clear and transparent
    Reflecting back anything
    Returning reality as it is

    But once it's doused in blank
    It's clouded and tainted
    With cracks running over it

    Its eyes are foggy and grayed
    Its heart is smeared
    Its actions no longer pure

    Filled with hurt and pain
    Amassing wrath and fury
    Lashing out malice and hostility

    Dark emotions and thoughts
    Slowly seeps in the cracks
    Like smoke and ashes

    No longer objective or unassuming
    No longer uninvolved and distant
    No longer reflects the truth

    - - -

    A kind person is always kind
    A bad person is always bad
    A mirror should reflect both
    But its front has been colored black

    A mirror that's already broken
    Can no longer pretend it's right
    A mirror which doesn't reflect
    Can no longer play its part

    I who have lost my sight
    I who have lost my identity
    Can no longer claim to be
    The messenger of the mirror

    A title long obsolete
    Hung on to, desperately
    When the essence is discarded
    When my eyes are shrouded

    Then I will shed my skin
    The dark veil that I wear
    My masks and my scars
    My wrath and malice

    The fake identity I put forth
    The self that I clung to
    As justification for my act
    When all it is, childish retaliation

    Like walking to a dark alley
    The unknown is to be feared
    Anxiety and restlessness

    An unseen monster lurking hidden
    As you gear up, ready to defend
    But why must it be so

    Like opening a present
    A mystery is to be enjoyed
    Excitement and anticipation

    The promise and hope of delight
    Amicable giggles and chuckles
    A welcoming and open atmosphere

    Neither sword nor gun weilded
    Neither contempt nor terror held
    No righteous violence enacted

    Only the exchange of gifts
    From a stranger to another
    To open paths previously untold

    The bow tie you kept wearing
    The tag on your house keys
    The ribbon around my gift

    The braided bracelet we share
    My cherished blue ribbons
    Signifying our silent passion

    Unbreakable despite protest
    Amidts the dissent and objections
    Strong even though it's quiet

    Because our love is real
    Because our love is pure
    Because our love is ours

    No one else can dictate
    Whether it is immoral
    Unnatural, sinful taboo

    This bond is meant to be
    Our love is not wrong
    And we are also human

    Oh innocent children
    Oh gullible children
    Listen to the rambles
    Of this red clothed grandpa
    Of this white haired old man

    Don't believe in the adults
    Whose words only for their own benefits
    A mythical santa bearing gifts
    A toy for the good, a coal for the bad
    Just the grown-up's control mechanism

    I can listen to your wishes
    But it doesn't matter what you do
    Whether you're good or not this year
    The stories are just fairytales
    Because I'm just a normal man

    I can only continue to be an adult
    Who will continue this farce
    Give you hope no matter how fleeting
    Maintain the lie you dearly cherish
    And put on my bearded red hat

    Cacophonic clangs
    Quiet echoes of the chime
    Hidden in the shadows
    Backbiters and gossipers

    When the bells ring loudly
    Whose sounds pains the ears
    Cowardly behind your back
    As you walk on clueless

    What you don't see doesn't exist
    What you don't hear is not said
    Ignorance is bliss they say
    It was better when I didn't know

    When I am sneered and disparaged
    When the music is reverberated
    Disappointingly behind my back
    As I continue my stride uncaring

    Ring louder if you have the audacity
    Come at me if you have the nerve
    You who can only ring your bells
    I will fight you head on

    A drop in the ocean, one amongst all
    Unrecognizable white masses
    But if you look closely
    You'd notice their differences

    Stellar crystals, dendrites and plates
    With their own beauty and shine
    We celebrate their individualities
    So why can't we recognize our own

    Each flakes unique and special
    But ultimately all the same snow
    Working together to blanket the earth
    Covering each others blank spots

    Just like humans and their differences
    Race, color, culture, skill, attitude, wealth
    So why can't we tolerate our own
    Cooperation just a pipe dream

    It is that one special time
    The annual celebrations
    When white and red candy
    Freely distributed in the city

    It is that one cherished occassion
    Our annual candy consumption
    A party allowed even for us
    The ones who have nothing

    It is that one blessed moment
    When people remember us
    Easing their heart's grief by giving
    Yet our daily life will remain the same

    Bright colors and shiny glitter
    Light to hold and easy to hang
    Full outside but hollow inside
    One of many of the same things

    Only used once for display
    To be discarded after the season passed
    Replaced with newer ones next time
    A temporary bauble, is that my future?

    To sit pretty and get dolled up
    To learn how to decorate myself
    To spread my charm and appeal
    But all that will only last a moment

    When the chase no longer exciting
    When I am no longer intriguing
    When he is no longer appeased
    When there is someone else

    I will be left as an ornament
    A decoration of the house
    An accessory to carry around
    To beautify your false appearance

    Bright colors and shiny glitter
    Light to hold and easy to hang
    One inconsequential garnish in life
    Whose only purpose is as frills

    A little girl by the window
    Looking outside at the snow
    At the snowman with carrot nose
    Thinking how cold it must be

    An act of kindness and naivety
    She brought her new friend home
    To ease it of its sufferings
    Bringing it closer to the hearth

    An act of goodwill and ignorance
    An innocent knife brings warmth
    From escaping heat of blood spilled
    Leaving behind cold corpses in its foolishness

    Until the small flicker burned out
    Leaving behind a moonless night
    As we huddle around the fire's remains

    While surrounded by the festival lights
    Bulks of excess scrapped the next day
    A wasteful luxury to create an illusion
    A bright atmosphere without any darkness

    This is simply our reality
    Insignificant and disregarded
    One of the many candle makers
    Who worked tirelessly for paltry sum

    To afford only thin uncolored candles
    The barest necessity of practical purpose
    To illuminate the lightless days
    Used to its utmost, until its last burn

    The kiss under a mistletoe
    We need to carry on tradition

    Sorry if you don't like it

    I thought you knew what it meant
    To have a pair under the leaves

    Sorry if you don't like it
    It is just how it always been
    It wasn't my choice or decision
    It is just the way it is

    It is our custom, our culture
    To steal a kiss under the mistletoe
    To respect the symbol of love
    To celebrate life and its evergreen

    That is your justifications

    If it's detrimental to others
    You're rationalizing your creepiness

    Never signalled I want it
    Regardless of the common
    Frankly, that's no excuse

    Just because I'm standing
    Doesn't mean I'm inviting

    You can't act as if blameless
    Your action wasn't welcomed

    Quarter life crisis
    A millennial invention
    When we realize reality sucks

    The age of information and social comparison
    Seeing highlight reels of people's lives
    Ignorant of what happens behind the scenes

    Holding to inflated expectations
    Vivid images of success
    Nonexistent in this bleak, grey life

    Get a good school, university, and job
    Married by 25, manager by 30
    Everyday comparing ourselves to our peers

    We were taught to compete
    Our self-worth judged externally
    Every time comparing our lows to their highs.

    Nothing in life is perfect
    No one person is ideal
    Neither me, nor you

    Life isn't a competition
    Life isn't a race
    Life isn't chasing perfection

    I'll remain here motionless

    Time is a continuous stream. Like a river it flows, from the past to the future, in one long line. The line can be filled with rocks or it can curve around before proceeding, but it will simply move as a flow. Yet there is a boundary on it that we can't help but acknowledge. A boundary between now, and before. Between the past, and the present. Between what can be changed and not.

    16 springs have passed
    14 more will pass
    In my pursuit of wizardry
    Sadly not by choice

    When will my spring come
    I've heard of its magic and splendor
    Of the promise of companionship
    Leading to the great union

    Waiting for flowers to bloom
    As the stories have told
    But my days continue on cold
    Constant at the status quo

    Except there was one change
    Spring did come as foretold
    With its ardor and glamour
    But it only came to my friend

    Why is life unfair, why is love unfair
    Is solitude my only choice
    Am I undeserving of company
    Am I fated for the Wizard life

    A defeated sigh from a mulling boy
    A scoff from his dear friend
    Crazy is not doing anything
    But expecting a change
    And you're crazy

    I shut him away from my mind
    Gloating about his first meeting
    His subsequent chats and dates
    The reaction towards the confession

    He's the lunatic one, madly in love
    Forgetting he was once like me
    Independent and solitary
    Part of the pack, fellow lone wolves

    What made him different now
    What was it that changed?
    Was it something he did?
    If so, what did he do?

    He seeked her out
    He asked her out
    While here I am waiting
    For a spring that won't arrive

    Well, I guess that's it

    One of grand celebrations
    Suitable for the public

    But the kids don't care
    About the people, the audience

    As the light gets brighter
    A shadow is cast stronger
    The deepest pit in my heart
    Has its loyal companion

    A ghost that always follows
    Whispering words of hate
    Devilish feelings of jealousy
    Thoughts of gloom and murk

    Darkness growing stronger
    Hidden away behind a cheer
    While my words are sweet
    When my face is full of smiles

    They say it's harder to have a friend
    Who is happy when you are successful
    Than one who will stay by your side
    And help when you're in need

    The deity of art, the angel of beauty,
    why did you fall from the Heaven.
    Was it pity or was it passion,
    which drove you to your madness.
    Delirious mind, frenzied hand,
    you are a slave to your own muse.
    Deep fascination, frantic obsession,
    has changed you to a hellspawn.
    Xin the Devil trapped by his gift,
    where will you find salvation.

    A sparkle, a shine, a glint and a twinkle
    Your presence glimmered
    like the moonlight across the lake
    A gleam, a glow, a flicker and a shimmer
    Your brilliance radiated
    like sunlight reflected on a diamond

    (external link, 13 Oct 2020)
    Slithering around your legs
    Marking its presence on you
    Creeping slowly up your body
    Keeping you rigid and rooted

    Crawling across your torso
    Twisting your stomach
    Gripping your lungs
    Buckling your knees

    Tightening around your neck
    Strangling your thoughts away
    Robbing your mind blank
    Leaving nothing but itself

    As you descend the spiral of madness
    With vigilance as your guide
    With distrust as your knight
    With fear as your master

    (external link, 28 Oct 2020)
    Him who left with a bang.
    The top guild's ex-leader, Curley.
    Him who left behind a legend.
    Of little goblins dyed red in blood.
    Him who left behind a history.
    Of the young critters' impossible feat.

    Without you here to lead them,
    What would your sugar babies do?
    Without you here to flex on them,
    What would us plebians see?
    Without you here with your crazy,
    Who would I hang around with?

    But you've set your sights on bigger goals
    On to more impossible feats and miracles
    You've determined to expand your reach
    On to more friends and sugar babies
    You've decided to shine on more lives
    On to let your sparkle light up the world ✨

    A relic of the near past, now forgotten
    Deliverer of truth, investigator of secrets
    But what is left behind, only faux and hoax
    Will we ever reclaim the rustle of the scoop

    Straights and curves, scribbles and scrawls.
    To capture the vast outside.
    To ensnare the wild imagination.
    Surrounded by walls as thin as paper.

    Straights and curves, scribbles and scrawls
    A touch of ink travelling on the paper
    To capture the vast outside
    To ensnare the wild imagination
    Surrounded by walls a few inches wide

    Bubbles of joy and sorrow, of warmth and cold
    Optimism and passion, trust and elegance
    Prism of light reveals your true self
    Complex and complicated, not a one-dimensional character

    complacent and comfortable
    in our little desk and chair
    deaf and blind
    of the outside world

    naïve and innocent
    kind words for the ignorant
    lost and powerless
    crippled by your own carelessness

    Prompt: Mysteries below the Surface
    Challenge: No e

    Drum rolls for Sir Lord’s arrival
    On his podium, crying and shouting
    Looking for valiant warriors
    to bring back a young boy, Tom

    A tiny boy on his own shaking in fright
    Brown shirt and black pants
    With a maroon band on his arm
    Lost during his trip to Salty Coast

    Townfolks’ focus shifts to a crying mom
    With a haggard look and rattling body
    Worry painting this woman’s brows
    Praying with tiny, shaking sounds

    Sandra, hoping for a saviour
    To scour past dry sand
    To look past shallow foam
    To jump into cobalt mass

    A hush fills stifling air
    Pity and sorrow both
    But no champion in sight
    No knight, only an old man

    Sympathy on his cast
    A small child similar to his own
    For him, this man shall fight
    With Lord’s man-at-arms

    At dawn, Lord’s troop march
    With bold, daring townfolks
    Sandra’s plight in mind
    Old Man Brian’s last mission

    Storming through vicious land
    Struggling to find Sandra’s boy
    But all that is found
    Was an unsightly monstrosity

    Ghastly varmint roaming around
    Horrifying roar looms at littoral
    Quaking panic amongst champions
    Bar Old Man Brian, anxious for Tom

    Tiny Tom’s form in his conviction
    Sword in hand, Brian jab and thrust
    His fist shaking, his gasps haggard
    But a hazard cut down and slain

    Continuing his pursuit of Tom
    But nothing was found
    No body, no mark, nothing
    Only sad story for his frail mom

    A Warrior’s arrival
    With pomp and formality
    Carrying a slain mutant
    With a maroon band on its arm

    In dark of night, moms sniff
    Singing a song to younglings
    “My charming and virtuous child
    You might ask what horror is

    A suspicion rousing panic
    A shadow missing from nautical shallows
    A contour amidst shrouds of plantation
    A gloom that murks in corals and rocks

    I wish your days to lack this shock
    Without alarm or dismay
    Of any fright of imagination
    Nor worry for incarnations of night”

    (Discord, 1 Jan 2021)
    The coming and going of waves
    The trickle of rain
    The flow of rivers

    As my heart beats a lively melody
    As my vision widens hungrily
    As my breath brisk and heavy

    The spray of geyser
    The flush of drain
    The drums of rapids

    As my body rocks and sways
    To the rhythm of the whitewater
    Raises a fuss in my mind

    The drips of cascade
    The ripple of pond
    The calm of lake

    Even the simplest presence
    Brings about an unsettling chill
    Down into my deepest core

    3 Jan 2021
    What if a meteor fell on us right now
    What if a thunder came crashing down
    What if the rain floods the house
    What if the train ran out of its track
    What if the microwave blew up
    What if my building burn down
    What if my pen flew out of my hand
    What if I wear my shirt inside out
    What if I stutter during introductions
    What if I blank out mid-presentation
    Where is the line drawn
    Between the impossible and possible
    Between the hyperbole and realistic
    Between over-thinking and prudence
    Between crazy and normal

    4 Jan 2021
    You eagerly bark to welcome me
    You excitedly yelp when we go out
    As am I when we spend time together

    You snuggle to me when I'm sad
    You comfort me when I'm lonely
    As would I when you need me

    You care when I'm sick
    You share my pains
    As did I when you are
    At your final days


    6 Jan 2021
    Who gets to decide what we are
    Or where the difference lies
    Who gets to decide who we are
    And label us their chosen name

    Why do we let them decide
    Who are our friends and foes
    Why do we let them decide
    Our fate and identity

    When will we decide
    This whole ploy is enough
    When will we decide
    That we won't be divided

    6 Jan 2021
    All it took was one second
    All it took was one word
    How fast everything changed
    In just one drum of heartbeat

    A glorious palace now ruined
    A great audience now empty
    How far everything changed
    Subjects full of loyalty turned disdain

    Why did it all fall apart
    Why did it become smothered
    How did our powerful empire
    Ended in just one heartbeat

    8 Jan 2021
    "Boo!" shouted the kid in my ear
    Jolting me awake in my rest
    Disrupting my quiet thought
    Again for the tenth time

    "Boo!" Again, the annoying kid
    Why does he keep doing this
    Just let me read in peace
    I shouted back at his scurrying ass

    "Boo!" I swear, this child
    Don't you have other friends
    Fellow kids to play with
    Go play with your mates, not me

    "Boo!" I stopped in silence
    Looked at his laughing mug
    I told him stop, I don't like it
    But he insisted and ran away

    "Boo!" I got used to it by now
    Again I told him to stop
    But he just smiled instead
    And he laughed heartily

    "Boo!" When will this end
    I continued reading my book
    Despite that he sticked around
    Sneaking glances at my hand

    Today's a very special day
    It's an unhindered reading day
    What a miracle, what a blessing
    I wonder where the kid went

    Days have passed since then
    Sometimes I think back to him
    Where he is, why did he disappear
    Why he kept coming to surprise me

    Despite my musings, the answer is lost
    Along with his presence and laugh
    And his smile at my scoldings
    *Boo!* The wind faintly whispered

    8 Jan 2021
    Hey, Papa, let's play
    Like other dads and sons
    We can play catch or ball
    Or any game that you want

    Hey, Papa, let's play
    You want hide and seek?
    I can't believe you agreed!
    Let's do it! I'm so excited!

    Hey, Papa, it's been 5 hours
    When will you find me
    Papa, I'm hungry now
    Papa, did you forget?

    Hey, Papa, what happened?
    What about our game?
    What do you mean it's still going on
    When will you finally seek me

    Hey, Papa, I just want to play
    I just want your attention
    I just want your affection
    Papa, I'm sorry I exist

    Hey, Papa, why am I alone?
    Why are they laughing at me?
    Papa, I don't like this
    Papa, what do I do?

    Hey, Papa, I don't like being alone
    I don't like being pitied and looked down
    I don't like being sad and upset
    So I will do what you taught me

    Hey, Papa, I punched them
    Because I didn't like it
    What they did made me angry
    It made me ~~sad and hurt~~

    Hey, Papa, why did you hit me?
    Didn't you tell me to be strong
    I was strong and I punched them!
    Papa, why are you mad at me

    Hey, Papa, I just want to play
    I just want your attention
    I just want your affection
    Papa, I'm sorry I exist

    P.s. for extra oomph, read this as the point of view of the boy in the previous poem

    9 Jan 2021
    the taste of fruity honey
    and rich chocolate cake
    the scent of fresh cookies
    and a garden of lilies
    the devils only whisper sweetly
    with words deeply coated with sugar
    they only ever smile gently
    intentions thick with deceit
    the pleasant serenade and lullaby
    calling you away from service
    charming persuasions and calls
    holding you tightly in restrain
    until all that's left is lethargy

    10 Jan 2021
    The sirens blast its nightmarish tune
    Calling attention to its bright red pulse
    People yelling in manic anger
    Raw emotion in full unfiltered display
    Like boiling cauldron emitting toxic fumes
    Where does it go from here?

    As we fight over who has the most say
    The largest volume to reflect our power
    Compensating our lack of control
    As we insist on our rightness over others'
    Until the weak back down first and lose
    How will we maintain this link?

    My voice is hoarse and my throat dry
    I'm tired of the fighting and screaming
    Tired of being upset and heartbroken
    Of always giving up and surrendering
    Please I don't want to scream anymore
    When will we finally learn?

    11 Jan 2021
    It's the feeling when you grit your teeth
    The feeling when you roll your sleeves
    When you roll your shoulders back
    When you repeat your special mantra

    The calm moment as you take a deep breath
    Make a decision to see it through to the end
    When you look at challenge in the eye
    When you face your fear without cowering

    It's quiet but strong, serene but powerful
    Like crackling embers, tranquil yet passionate
    When you don't know where the future will go
    Yet you know exactly where you will be

    13 Jan 2021
    History is subjective
    For it only ever tells
    Of one's side of the story
    The survivor's tale of glory

    History is biased
    It's only ever in one color
    Only ever said one message
    The winner's propaganda

    History is prejudiced
    Some figures disappeared simply
    Some overshadowed by others
    It only ever tells his story


    15 Jan 2021
    Walking alone by the seaside
    The winds rushing along my face
    Blowing my hair sideways
    As my mind drifted away

    To yesterday, to a year ago
    To the first time we met
    Thinking of the couldbes
    The whatifs and whatnots

    But there is no end to this
    No destination to arrive to
    No conclusion to reach
    Just a person, lost in thought


    15 Jan 2021
    I poured the chopped ingredients in
    And stirred the bubbling mixture
    Whispering a little incantation
    Like what I learned as a child

    I poured the chopped herbs in
    And stirred the bubbling soup
    Whispering a little prayer
    Like I will do even when I'm grown up
    - - -
    Author note: You wish for things to not change, but sometimes it just does.


    13 Jan 2021
    I know exactly where I want to be
    Exactly where I want to go
    And once I set my eyes on it
    I'm steady as a rock


    16 Jan 2021
    You were our wild card
    A powerful force of nature
    An uncontainable hurricane
    A person with an obstinate mind
    But we decided to take a chance

    You are our blessing
    A proud and dutiful role model
    A helping hand to other's trouble
    A strong vision and a clear path
    The best decision we've ever made

    17 Jan 2021
    The wind blows again on this barren field
    Singing its fantastic song as it glides between stones
    I stand alone again on this desolate ground
    Sighing the phenomenal origin of the sands

    The tale of the all-consuming fire gleefully running
    Fueled by the ecstatic love you showered me
    The passionate warmth you enveloped me with
    This is all I need - with you, I am satisfied

    So why did the fire die out
    So why did you leave me behind
    Why is all that's left a lifeless land
    Exposing its cracks and scars

    Why is all that's left the winter wind
    A chilling frost gnawing your bones
    Why is all that's left is just me
    With dried-out tears marking my face

    Rather than these cracks, I'd rather embers
    Rather than this cold, I'd rather burn
    I'd rather be the fire itself
    A beautiful red flower alight

    19 Jan 2021
    Whimsical creature
    Elludes our capture attempts
    Except literature

    19 Jan 2021
    a candle's flame alight
    bright but small
    quiet but true
    just like a beating heart

    a candle's light aflame
    lighting up the dark
    giving reassurance
    security in the unknown

    20 Jan 2021
    Hand raised up, I saw its shadow
    Equable pattern runs across surface
    Languid mind lulls into a sleep
    Power left my limbs and I stay still

    Memories resurface of time long gone
    .
    .
    .
    Eyes wet with camouflaged tears
    .
    .
    .

    20 Jan 2021
    It's a race against you
    The only one I acknowledge
    My rival, enemy I fight against
    My partner in pursuit of excellence

    It's a race against time
    The fastest one wins
    No time to dilly dally
    Each and every second counts

    It's a race against me
    Against my past record
    Be better than my history
    Growth is beating myself


    22 Jan 2021
    The red moon demands another sacrifice
    Blood to dye the rivers and soil
    For when the Gods anger, we provide
    We are simply their pawns of service

    The thread of fate shifts again
    Moving to situations out of control
    For when the wheels turn, we are helpless
    We are puppets of their grand plays

    The Grim Reaper comes for his dues
    Lives, his to reap, souls, his to collect
    For when Death knocks, no one can deny
    We are powerless before its whims

    23 Jan 2021
    It all just became white noise
    The screaming and shouting
    The insults and hate speech
    A normal scene on the media

    We're all just desensitized
    The disparaging comments
    No respect for any opinions
    A normal sight to scroll past

    Defending my attitude
    Berating any in disbelief
    Rattles of empty minds
    A normal fight to engage

    Changed perception
    Brainwashed society
    Why have we accepted
    A normal part of our lives

    I'll say the same thing here I said in Autumn Wind's thread; I'll be happier the more poets there are. Keep it up!

    I'm also very interested at around what time in her poetry you two met. Because her stuff was very melancholy until a certain point, and from the context I'm guessing it was around when you started messaging her? You've a very happy, sometimes cheeky tone to your poems. I enjoy that very much.

    No talent is needed. Since we're not pros anyway. It's fun to think hard to what word would fit and checking thesaurus and rhymezone on it... I'm not talented orz

    but, I'll call you up if we have a poem "battle" if you want to try! :)


    See! You're very nice and likeable ~
    Thanks!
    Hahaha thanks. I do poems for the lulz, that's why.
    Hmm, Lemme check for you..

    I could definitely see that being true. We're a literary family, and though I never got the gift (or made too much effort at gaining it :x) I've seen a lot of amateur poetry. Bring two young poets together and at least one of them often changes greatly in style. It's very interesting to see.

    I suppose that's sort of a speculation on your ages, which is a bit inappropriate. :p

    Also, I'm definitely not likable. I just enjoy the subject, and respect the arts. You'll see if you ever come across me anywhere else.. I'll show you!
