Lights were dim,
his eyes were bold
Never leave me, I was told
How I wish we'd together grow old
Pains me the thought,
as I hold
his freezing hands
colourless,
and
so cold

Love me not for my smile, it’s for everyone, it’s free
Love me for the devil inside me, I’m not an angel you see
Love me but cherish me for the tears I spill
Love me but remember, my eyes really can kill
Love me and my scars, the blemishes I flaunt
Love me or not, it’s up to you what you want
Not a sweet talker, barefaced I am
Growing a bit stronger, each day I am
Sometimes I might falter, clumsy I am
Some days a bit darker, moody I am
Amidst the pitter patter, merry I am
Amongst my little family, a fairy I am

He adores words weaved by her
Her compelling charm imbibed in those
Those that shine as shimmering stars
Stars each fall fascinated by her smile
Smile, that captured million hearts
Hearts of mirth and misery alike
Alike yet different, constrained but free
Free in a world just she could see

Warm clouds embrace me
Hope silently drizzles
Sky composes picturesque lights
As my eyes meet yours
Ablaze, ever so bright

P.s. This is the fastest I ever wrote :DWhere the sky meets the sea
You’ll forever be mine
I’ll fly and jump in glee
Where the sky meets the sea
No you or me, just we
Fingers entwined with thine
Where the sky meets the sea
You’ll forever be mine

I pass by a familiar, snow filled lane
Who would've thought I'd come here again
A miracle, what else could it have been
Who would even believe what I’ve seen
Back then, I was home earlier from work
I lived alone, now that I broke up with that jerk
The path felt oddly eerie
Wind gushed, chilled and dreary
Inside my pocket I reach for the keys
Something grazes by my nape, and I freeze
Spooked, I look left and right, then turn behind
I see nothing, Am I out of my mind?!
"It's me “ I hear a voice creak
Wait… did my door just speak!
What nonsense, I dismiss the thought
But is it him? Is he sorry that we fought
Hoping to open the door, I go ahead
“DON’T. Pls don’t come inside” he said
“Alert the cops first, there’s a guy here, armed.
If not... you will be harmed”
It was a desperate plea
But surely was hard to believe
To act upon what I heard
Yet I decided to trust his word
Soon arrived a group of men with guns
Supposedly there was a criminal on the run
The silent street was soon filled with chaos
It wasn’t a needless warning, I suppose
The criminal was caught and apprehended
But they couldn’t find a trace of the one I stated
I contacted my ex, apparently he wasn’t the one
That voice is gone now that I had a safe return
Well of course I moved to another place
But it doesn’t help much, the change in space
I still do remember, my mind plays it on repeat
I still freak out when I hear a door creak

And it's difficult if u ask to name any two accounts to be read. Anyways, @bluepuppy01 I love her story writing, that's something she excels at.

Most days I wonder
Who am I, a mere blunder?
Creation of God
I know, but is it alright
Where one's day and other's night?
Like Latin and Greek,
Though these disparities are
What makes us unique
Different from crowd? Be proud
You're doubtlessly not a freak!
From city or slum
Special traits, we all have some
Who am I? May be
Someone kind, yet not stupid
Grown up, with a heart of kid
Bubbly, not torpid
Open book, with nothing hid
Flower, yet a weed
Helping hand to one in need
With a smile where all concede

My anxiety sits in a corner
Mourning my dwindling wits
Esteem cowers in fright
Warmth scattered in bits
Nothing worth a sight
Just a look of creep
No jump of joy, neither does it weep
My composure sleeps in a closet
Insanity holding the reins
Mind filled with deranged thoughts
Wrist covered in purple veins
Fallacity applauds with a smirk
Beholding the truth it feigns
/ …...and I wonder, Is this really the true me? /

But if it's you,
Could it be true?

Happiness possesses the charm that flowers do. When you're happy, you are like a garden blooming with flowers attracting every passer-by towards you. You become that sweet little boy on the street handing out a flower to everyone spreading his cheerfulness. Happiness spreads, it multiplies. Being happy can be anything but stupid.
But happiness is happiness. It's simple, like an open book - but being in pain isn't. Sorrow, grief, misery, depression are all like those locked treasure chests locked and buried deep inside your heart. And one needs to dive into it to comprehend those messy tangled up feelings. When an artist expresses his feelings on his canvas, these messed up feelings are very well camouflaged and only the ones with gifted eyes can uncover what truly underlies.

Read MorePerfection defines you with the notes of kindness
Humanity describes you with the tunes of beauty
On the stillness of poetry,
you twirl with the quill of metaphors.
And your existence blisses the world with the tune of your words and love.
May lord bless you with all your wishes. So sorry for not being here. Let's celebrate again when I'll be back(if). Many many happy returns of the day ��
Enjoy...

Exactly a year to our friendship! And also your birthday. But nothing could have been better than a letter of gratitude.
So I marshalled some words just to describe the person you are :)
ꜰʟᴀꜱʜɪɴɢ ʙᴇᴀᴍꜱ ᴏꜰ ʟᴏᴠᴇ
ᴀ ᴄᴏʀᴜꜱᴄᴀᴛɪɴɢ ᴀᴜʀᴀ
ᴡɪᴛʜ ʜᴏᴘᴇꜰᴜʟ ʏᴇʟʟᴏᴡꜱ
ᴬ̳ ̳ᶠ̳ʳ̳ⁱ̳ᵉ̳ⁿ̳ᵈ̳ ̳ᵃ̳ⁿ̳ᵈ̳ ̳ᵃ̳ ̳ˡ̳ⁱ̳ˢ̳ᵗ̳ᵉ̳ⁿ̳ᵉ̳ʳ̳
His words wears life where the reader gets the feeling, a sense of warmth that radiates to the reader. One can connect to his words and derive a hopeful end after a self loathing past.
ᴬ̳ⁿ̳ ̳ᵃ̳ᶠ̳ᶠ̳ᵉ̳ᶜ̳ᵗ̳ⁱ̳ᵒ̳ⁿ̳ᵃ̳ᵗ̳ᵉ̳ ̳ᵐ̳ᵃ̳ⁿ̳ ̳ᶠ̳ⁱ̳ˡ̳ˡ̳ᵉ̳ᵈ̳ ̳ʷ̳ⁱ̳ᵗ̳ʰ̳ ̳ⁱ̳ⁿ̳ⁿ̳ᵒ̳ᶜ̳ᵉ̳ⁿ̳ᶜ̳ᵉ̳
His greatest strength is in vulnerability and tenderness. For many it might be a weakness but his emotions play a vital role in developing relationships with many.

In this vast sea ( Miraquill ) you were one of the million most beautiful things that happened to me ' like a little sand dollar to my life '. A true bibliophile , a dictionary on it own, a friend, a brother , a clasping hand whenever life problems abounds you
Sid, thank you for all those uncountable advices whenever my spirits kept on falling and cheering me up in my blues ,accepting my flaws and fault and looking beyond them.

Read MoreHello friends!
As weekend knocks our door, let's welcome it with this challenge!
This week write a Caryotte poem.
The Caryotte is:
○ a 12 line poem, made up of 6 couplets.
○ composed with head and tail rhyme in each couplet.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Example: one of my caryotte poem:
//Labelled as a treacherous slut
Disabled to defend, so badly it hurt.
Reasons were my cleavage and exposed thighs
Seasons since changed but my soul daily dies.
Nobody sees my intellect but only my body
Ready with a label saying sexy or shoddy.
Dressed when I go in a long long skirt
Blessed again I am with their lurking lecherous lust.
It is not my attire that makes me a soft target
Fit is a woman to taint and her prowess you forget.
When a baby is raped and so is an octogenarian
Then shamed is a Nation failing all that's humanitarian.//
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Happy writing mates!!! ����

Are you a human or are you just your gender?Just always remember what you are. Are you a human or are you just your gender.Because humanity can never be defined by gender.If you get a chance to become anyone, become a human. The better part is that you don't need banners of -isms to make you a human. You are just like everybody, you are an equal, not above or below anybody. And you don't need to prove it to anybody. If you are a man or a woman or any other gender, it really doesn't matter, if you are a human, well that does matter.

You need not worry
If she's lost in the dark,
for the sunshine within
her heart will lead
her way back home.

Once a day, I simply feel
so blessed to realize
that somewhere out there-
you're living in the same world.
Even though you're far away,
I still like the way you exist.

Kafan mei lipti hui ,
meri laash ko dekh kar rona nahi mere yaar!
Hayee wo aakhri mulaqat hogi !

behind the wheels
We are running down the blue moon now
Quarter tank and almost over
Pretending we're in love, but is isn't enough
Silence is filling here, when we have no words to speak
But how did we come this far?
There's a storm coming here,
Im reaching your hand
Don't go away,
We were together remember? We danced when devils lurk!
You gave your warm hands in the cold world
Are we now breaking in this unpromised highway?
I won't leave you, could you hold on?
I miss the neon in your eyes
Your dreams and city lights!

Today, write a letter to September.
Tag and share with #septembercSeptember approaching…I feel I owe myself a brief respite of leisure and no rushing around. I can’t face the dead reality. I want rainy days, lanterns and a hundred moons twining in dark leaves, music spilling out and echoing yet inside my head.

Hyperbole is a figure of speech in which a writer or speaker exaggerates for the sake of emphasis. Hyperbolic statements are usually quite obvious exaggerations intended to emphasize a point, rather than be taken literally.
--Today, write a poem in less than 10 lines using hyperbole in it.--
Tag with #hyperbole and share.

Nitroglycerine
She handles you with care
tentatively tip-toes
around your mood
that is colourless
and explosive
like nitroglycerine
carries you in the palm
of her sweaty hands
walks ten nervous steps
stops..........
holds her breath
walks ten nervous steps
stops..........
holds her breath
face scrunched up
eyes tightly closed
fingers in her ears
waiting for the detonation
hears the sharp crackle
of the fire running
along the fuse

|
|
that gets shorter
|
|
|
|
and shorter
|
|
|
and shorter

until

KABOOM !!!!!
(Fire in the hole ! )
And she runs for cover.
