Before you dare to dive into my depths;
Make sure you know how to ride inside the curves of my waves.

When you looked at me for the first time;
Stars shine in my eyes.

And I pray that
May the love blossom us all into something
more beautiful than we have ever imagined.
©Asma Khan -
If you have four men in your life
A responsible father
A protective brother
A caring husband
A loving son
You're lucky... ❤️

And darling, those are not merely words;
They are pieces of me that confess my love for you.
©Asma Khan -
There are not enough hearts to hold the love...
But there are enough hearts where love still blooms.

I believe that;
I have been carrying
parts of you
cause even before
we met
I could feel you
in my heartbeats.

You pulled the pain out of my pores
And filled them with your love
You poured light upon the places
where the darkness was residing
And now when it's nothing but you in my skin deep
I don't know how not to tell it to the world what have you done to me!

Come here in my arms
I'll try to keep you safe from this world
Just stay here and
listen to my heartbeats taking out your name
Feel this moment
And forget about everything else that snatches your peace of mind.

I had been hurt, I had been broken, I had learnt to live alone and yet I chose to love you with all of my heart.

by lovenotes_from_carolyn
How come we editing models
Yo, ain't they already pretty?
I need someone to explain this
I guess I'm just not that witty
We wiping out imperfections
While adding filters galore
All day we splicing and dicing
'Til nothing's real any more
We photo shoppin' them models
We poppin' pills, drinkin' bottles
We think we livin' the life
Full speed ahead, on full throttle
Yo, now we messin' with music
Tunes sound all whacked out and crazy
Been edited to perfection
Man, this is trifling and lazy!
Meanwhile, nobody's listening
And nobody learned
But knowledge ain't free friend
You gonna get what you earned
Y'all hear that deafening silence?
Let me explain the distinction
It's getting scary out there
Mankind is facing extinction
But don't get me wrong folks
I'm cheerfully pessimistic
Sometimes I get on a soapbox
And go a little ballistic
Hey yo, I think what we need is
An epilogue to this story
It's 'bout that time for a full stop
Stop chasing after false glory
Let's put an end to this nonsense
By drawing up a conclusion
Let's do away with the drama
It's time to quell the confusion
But if you think that it's over
You've clearly misunderstood
'Cause this is just the beginning
We changing bad up to good
How 'bout we really be real?
What a relief that would bring!
Alright, I'm done with this preaching
Come on, let's go do this thing!

Come hither, my dear ones
Gather round for the rhyme
And I'll tell you of blue
One shade at a time.

WHAT IS BLUE?
by lovenotes_from_carolyn
It's a bevy of emotions
With an oceanic view
It's the serenity of nightfall
It's the magic within you
It's the artful inculcation
Of this luminescent hue
It's the quietude of winter
When stark white arrives anew
Like the prayerful benediction
That whiles away the hours
Or a longstanding lament
To which the world
Responds with flowers
Like the lithe and lovely Larkspur
Or the sky blue Morning Glory
And the ever present Asters
Wherein each bloom reveals a story
Like a ponderous portrayal
On a rain soaked afternoon
Like the silence of the stars
And the whispers of the moon
It's a thought and it's a word
It's a feeling and a notion
It's a color, as we know
It's a mood and an emotion
Consequently, while I'm at it
I think I'll add this bit of news
Every poet should rejoice
For blue surely is a muse
So you've asked me "what is blue?"
And I've said all of this, howbeit
I'd like to mention one thing more
Blue is as you choose to see it.

This is for the one's who refused to burn! ✊
~Hail ye sisters of the light
The witch shall rise tonight!~
Empowered ones, in beauty born
They are the ones you shunned with scorn
But now they come to set wrongs right
The witch shall rise tonight!
Gaia's keepers, pure and true
Whom never posed a threat to you
In their demise, you did delight
The witch shall rise tonight!
Omniscient ones, from ancient days
You failed to understand their ways
You silenced them and stole their light
The witch shall rise tonight!
At home, you sit, all safe and warm
Not knowing you've unleashed a storm
You'll soon be wracked with chills and fright
The witch shall rise tonight!
You slandered them with baseless lies
Behold the truth now, in their eyes
The time has come, it's their birthright
The witch shall rise tonight!
Why run and hide, you hapless hounds?
'Tis much too late, the truth abounds
Your reign now ends, give up the fight
The witch shall rise tonight!
With fiery flames, you sought to shame them
You failed, for you could not contain them
Your wicked ways bespeak your plight
The witch shall rise tonight!
Rise oh sisters, claim your glory
Share with us your fated story
You're free at last, your path shines bright
Oh the witch did rise tonight!

This piece serves as my attempt at multiple recent challenges. Thank you so much for reading! Also, I need to request your patience in regard to reading/reposts, because as our cross country move is drawing near, my presence here will be sporadic for a month or two. Thanks for understanding and bearing with me. ♥️
The Merchant Marine & His Irish Queen
by lovenotes_from_carolyn
A wild and winsome wayfarer
Set sail with the Merchant Marines
To a land called the Emerald Isle
That's decked out in the loveliest greens
'Twas perhaps the luck o' the Irish
That led up to next event
For there, in the naval office
'Twas a gal who looked heaven-sent!
A bright lass was she, named Jenny
With brown hair and eyes of blue
For him, it was love at first sight
And I reckon it was for her too
Yes, that was my gramps and my gran
In a meeting designed by fate
There's a whole lot more to that story
But the hour is growing quite late
Fast forward to one whole year later
Oh that Irish lass, gramps sure did miss
So he brought her back here, to the States
Where they married, in wedded bliss
They got on with the usual business
Of living their day to day life
And soon enough, gramps did discover
He had a fine cook for a wife!
She prepared all the food to perfection
From hors d'oeuvres to roasted meats
To veggies and soups and salads
And of course, all the goodies and sweets
Huge feasts she'd create to delight us
Not a single time e'er did she fail
For as soon as she'd bring out the food
Cheers of delight would prevail
Her pies were sweet and superb
Her cookies, a chewy delight
And she'd send us on home with the extras
When we left at the end of the night
In the chill of midwinter on Sundays
I'd sit right by gran at her feet
As she'd tell me the tales of her childhood
While munching on goodies to eat
By then, she had barely an accent
But still, it was there in some way
And oh, was I fond of her voice
Which lives on in my heart to this day
Looking back on these tender moments
I recall the young Merchant Marine
And I'm so glad he sailed off to Dublin
And returned with his Irish queen.

THE DIADEM: A Fairy's Tale
by lovenotes_from_carolyn
Within the land of seraphim
The Fae Queen lost her diadem
Someone grabbed it, on a whim
Perhaps a playful cherubim
Oh what to do, what to do?!
You see, the truth - she never knew!
She thought her power all was found
There within the missing crown
For, years ago, a sight unseen
Befell the royal Fairy Queen
A djinn had cursed her with a spell
An evil curse, the djinn knew well
The djinn had made the Queen believe
Without the crown, her power would leave
All for the sake of jealous pride
So cunningly, the djinn had lied
Alas, the Fae Queen was forlorn
She'd had that crown since she was born
A gift bequeathed her, by her mother
'Twas rare, and unlike any other
And by her mum, these words were said
Whilst she placed it, on her head
"Wear this proudly, from this day
Behold! You're now the Queen of Fae!
Be humble, daughter; lead with grace
You represent the Fairy race
Let this thought guide your every hour
Inside yourself, you'll find your power"
But lo! Those words were all for naught
The curse erased what she'd been taught!
The djinn was jumping 'round with glee
Carrying on triumphantly
Long years, she'd waited for this chance
She couldn't help but sing and dance
And now, the djinn could take control
As was her long awaited goal
The Fairy race would due her bidding
They'd be her slaves, no I'm not kidding
One and all would be her slave
That no one but the Queen could save
The Queen was pacing, to and fro
Pondering where the crown did go
When something dreadful reached her ears
The cries of Fae folk's pain and tears
And when the Fae Queen spied the djinn
A burst of power surged within
From tips of toes, upward it spread
Then like a crown, it wreathed her head
The Queen, who now had grasped the truth
Was feeling rather bulletproof
She boldly walked up to the djinn
Methinks we all know who did win
The djinn was vanquished from the realm
The Queen, of course, reclaimed the helm
Her diadem was soon returned
The cherubim had lived and learned
What started as some harmless fun
Had caused the curse to come undone
The Queen released him, free and clear
Thus he thanked her, with a tear
That night, whilst sipping cinnamon tea
The Queen sat thinking, gratefully
The facts, now known, her people freed
The djinn, long gone, exiled indeed
She'd rule with grace, throughout her days
Forgoing all egoic ways
For there's no need of feckless pride
When one beholds their power inside.

I LOVE A MAN
by lovenotes_from_carolyn
I love a man who's both caring and gentle
He's thoughtful and sweet, and he's so sentimental
He's stubborn as heck, but I really don't mind
We balance each other, yeah we're two of a kind
I've loved him forever, well beyond these Earth years
And together we share all our joys and our fears
He's quiet and timely, I'm chatty and late
I'm calm and I'm patient, he can't stand to wait
So handsome is he, with his eyes of bright blue
And he's got a good heart, always steadfast and true
It hasn't been easy at all in this life
But together we've faced all the turmoil and strife
There are challenges plenty, life's a long, bumpy ride
So we take things one day at a time, side by side
All the while, I will dream up, manifest, and envision
A harmonious life, born of mutual decision
Oh I'll love this man for always and ever
He's the light of my life, he's my grandest endeavor
From this world to the next, 'til the end of my days
Love him, I shall, in so many ways.

STORY OF THE SUN
by lovenotes_from_carolyn
In a time long passed
That few now know
The sun grew boastful
Of her glow
To the moon each night
She was told to submit
But to this, her ego
Would not permit
By morn and onward
She'd cast her rays
Emblazing mankind's
Nights and days
Never once making way
For the luminous moon
So the world could sleep
And lovers could swoon
Proud, she was
Of her celestial fire
That all the Earth
Did praise and admire
But a fool she was
To brag all about
For there came such a day
When her fires went out
Furious was she
When she came to grips
And learned that she
Had been eclipsed!
A lesson hard learned
But one she learned quick
If she shined for too long
She'd become weak and sick
And the moon would eclipse her
With all of its might
For the sun rules the day
But the moon rules the night
Thus she banished her ego
Thereafter forever
For none shine alone
We all shine together.

your eyes drift afar
would they reflect into mine?
vision so divine
lips that sing of love
won't they whisper to my heart?
songs soothing my soul
day breaks in your arms
will our love last forever?
sunrise together
@jeniayn -
An avalanche of emotions
A glacier of tears
A broken heart frozen
Isolated on a distant iceberg
A chilly winter
A cold beer
Love
brisk
bitter,
frigid
and so cold.

A HALLOWEEN PLIGHT
by lovenotes_from_carolyn
When the wayward western winds blow by
All Hallows' Eve is surely nigh
When spirits spook and zombies haunt
And witches cackle, tease, and taunt
As the undead crawl out from the grave
I beg of thee, your soul to save
Turn out thy lights and lock the door
And hear my words of what's in store
A dreadful night, that's fraught with woe
The kind I hope you'll never know
For on this night, the dead have powers
As amongst us they walk, for 24 hours
So stay at home this fateful night
And say your prayers by candlelight
Keep out of sight, let the terror unfold
Whilst the world grows dark, and oh so cold.
