How many times have I seen myself in the mirror
Only thinking of the pain
I represented and contained?
How many times have I wanted not to be me anymore
Not to be anything
To be free of limitations
Even free from the body I possess?
How many times have I looked
for validation outside myself
Searching for my worth
In the unsaid compliments
I was waiting for others to say,
Just so I could fill
The emptiness inside me
How many times have I forgotten
Who I was and what I am meant to be
How many times have I felt like the sorrow never ends?
And how many times hopeless have I stood
In the middle of the hurricane that my endless screaming thoughts could create
How many times have I replayed
certain memories
Until I became bored of the sadness they brought
And decided to live something else instead
How many times have I felt misunderstood
Before I realised I should understand myself
How many times have I defined myself a mess
When all I wanted was to be wanted?
Countless times I guess.

I fell in love before
I realised I can never
come out once I do.
Now that you have
thrown me out yourself,
I can't even fall in
love with myself...

now wander in my head like

The Wandering
Take me where my heart wanders.
It seems like a beautiful place.
My heart keeps travelling,
My heart keeps wandering,
without a worry in the world.
It looks like a safe place.
The heart feels happy, it feels lighter.
It sounds like a peaceful place.
Is it in the dreams or is it just a mystical reality.
Maybe it's best left unknown.
Just take me where my heart wanders.

Goodbyes
Ciao Rome, you were a splendid dream.
Au revoir Paris, you were like an autumn kiss.
Adios Barcelona, your crevices were filled with the scent of cayenne pepper.
La revedere Bucharest, may your skies be filled with summer love.
Antio sas Athens, your temples are magnificent.

Hush of Night
Eyelids dropp covering my irises entirely
Drifting through space and time is where I reside
Hazy particles of light dance inside my dream field of vision
Long stretches of road behind me, fade away
As my wheels meet the ground, the familiar road I always take,
I coast... Here. There. Everywhere.

Read MoreSojourner
I found a barren little piece of land
In a far off dubious place
And decided it was where I was to dwell
Despite all the challenges I would face
I trudged, I struggled and I laboured
But the toil felt like a healing balm
The climb was long and hard
To my troubled mind - a healing calm
Finally that day came when I was done
And I stood tall and proud
The world was to lay witness this day
Not a wasteful land - but a great big house
What marvels you’ve done, what a miracle
Folks couldn’t stop talking about how tough it’d been
I wondered why now that it was done
The house - the struggle suddenly meant nothing to me
So I found another to love it well
And bid that beautiful dwelling I lovingly built goodbye
This dispassionate disconnection made me proud
For I had survived without so much as a sigh
Many a storm I have faced
Many a battle I have lost and won
But still forlorn and discontent I feel
Attached to nothing and no one
Building things makes me happy
It takes sweat , blood and tears
It gives me a chance to love something again
And be whole again without any fears
I am those houses I build again and again
Painfully putting together each little piece
And away with it once it is done , to arid lands
For nothing I really love is truly meant to be with me
My constant wandering often makes others question
What it is that I am looking for
I am looking for that piece of myself I lost so long ago
The one that was the key to my heart’s door
In the beautiful houses I create yet abandon
I wonder if I ever really left open a door
My wounds would heal thanks to mountain winds
And I would be a sojourner no more

@_luvnotz_outpost this is a real life story of one of my mother’s friends. He lost a 5 year old daughter in a freak accident and chose to build and abandon homes to supposedly calm his mind. He, like the poem states took great pride in stating that when he would abandon or sell the house, he would do so dispassionately , this confused me yet piqued my interest at the same time. When I met him, the emotions he had while talking about her were so strong that I came back home and wrote this within minutes. It basically wrote itself- there was so much pain behind the man .
I thank you sincerely for your kind words, they mean the world to me. Thank you so much for hosting such a wonderful challenge. - luvnotes_challenge_host I'm more than happy to host the challenges, and I'm very grateful for everyone's support and participation, so you're truly welcome! I have to say, I think that gentlemen would benefit greatly from hearing this poem. It's a rare and beautiful thing to be understood by another person, and you seem to have understood him fully. For that reason, this piece is not merely just a submission to a challenge, it's also a gift. ♥️
- pallavi4 @barefoot thank you so much

Across The Universe
I keep chasing you, thinking we'd meet up and ride out the end of the world together...
But,
I remembered you as a star in my memory.
When you really were a supernovae, already exploded and I was always too late
Thnks fr th mmrs, I guess.

stowaway
You were supposed to return to your hometown as a hero, someone different from the girl who never felt the weight of the world upon her shoulders
The only thing you are now is a stowaway in grand cruises, relying on the kindness of strangers
You resist the temptation to plunge your head underwater because resurfacing would be harder
You were supposed to retrace the steps you took so you could return home except you only found yourself counting the sighs of relief with each further step you take
You were unsure how you started rotting from the inside; a pot of dried flowers who have never known sunlight, when you were supposed to be the golden child.

Lights Off
My life changes when the lights go off
To go to a world where I can be
Happier
Free
My prayers answered
And my mind at ease
But it is a parallel I can never wish to be in
Always
Daily
With super powers
And everything is a beauty
It is only meant to give me hope
To go on
To live on
To dream for
Until my lights turn on.

Caterpillar
With trembling body, I crawled on the leaf
Tell you, I was in terrible grief.
With so many limbs and briery hair,
made everyone give me a horrible scare.
I felt ugly, I felt sad,
loneliness around me I felt bad.
Out of misery, I built a house of silk;
I hid myself in its own ilk.
I prayed inside the cocoon,
dreaming that I could wander soon,
I slept for a while
and then I woke up to smile;
realizing that I had already turned into a lovely butterfly!

Apart
Even though we are miles apart,
Know that we still look at the same moon,
Bathe in the same moonlight,
And in dreams we shall unite❤️

Always much I don't know
Thrill of living upon your below.
Truely much I cannot see.
Circling ramps thin underneath.
I want to be light center.
You are hidden far beyond enter.

Love Chores
It's lazy sunset of my fancy
Me in love planted orchard
Stars can't dip in our bed,
Yes they do
Their duties for owl's eyes
Or they may be heros
Of fairy tales
We so mature
Fading to be in
One Indelible color of US,
Won't go scot free
From each other's
Catchy reward
O envious sky!
Just get retire
With starry gestures of your frowns
Or burning bright
Of my beloved’s youth
May blind your celestial arrogance!

in the dark cage Of
her own woes,
her quill sulked,
her imagination failed
and her soul shrivelled.
She let her
mind wander in the
garden of
wilderness.
It returned with a lovely
bouquet of verses.

@dardanelles Hello, Miss.
I'd like to write something with you sometime,
if you'd fancy that and permit me, that is. -
ghoulfrost
If you'd like that, I'm inclined to inquire as to whether you're on Telegram or have a WhatsApp number
Or if I'm permitted to leave my WhatsApp and Telegram contact details here. - dardanelles @ghoulfrost Hey why not. I won't lie and say not on WhatsApp and stuff. Very much there though use sparingly. Mind texting on Instagram? @dombledorea is the username.
