Miraquill
Moonless
On a moonless night, they silently
Swallow their longing, the hopeless
Romantic, the wolf, and the sea.

Caress
I paint illusions with my words,
Yet from between meaning and daydream,
My Beloved caresses out my truth.

Howl
The moment between saying
Goodbye and leaving,
Stay a while on the fringes
Of paradise, let me memorise
The way your lips curve in a
Half smile, one last time,
Let me feel the shade
Of your shadow shielding me
From the harsh reality that turns
On me like a furious sun,
Wait a bit, let me inhale a bit of
Your breath, so I never forget
That eclectic mix of roses, mint and wild,
Before you go, tell me one thing,
Where do I take my fractured heart,
What elixir would heal this fever that
You leave me with, I will long for you,
In my nocturnal solitude, where is the
Vessel that would hold my pain and
Not shatter, I will howl for you,
Like the wolf howls for the moon,
In the realm beyond, will you hear me?

EDIT: I literally just poured my heart out in this poem and took a break from writing. I return today to find all the beautiful comments from you guys, my Miraquill family and I must admit, I am overwhelmed and so so thankful for the love you have showered on this piece of my heart. More power to sisterhood! ��Pawn
As long as
They force little girls
To suffocate their dreams
In the name of tradition,
As long as another girl
Is forced to carry the
Honor of her family like
A coffin growing out of
Her bones, as long as
There is another woman
Who is silent, her lips sewn shut
With the invisible threads
Of patriarchy, there will be,
A lttle girl
Haunted by the visions
Of all that she could be,
A young girl humming
Mindlessly of the worlds
That she will conquer, as
She learns how to rip apart
The limbs of those who made
Her sisters cry, there will be another
Woman ready to be consumed
In the fires of passion and ambition,
Her eyes glowing red and her tongue
A whiplash drawing blood with her
Words as pointed as daggers,
There will be rumours again,
They will call her a witch,
Curse her for being the devil's pawn,
And she will smile,
Bare her fangs
And tell them,
I am not a pawn,
Not yours, not the devil's,
Look closely and memorize,
This wild is
All woman.

A bit late, but better late than never.
Thank you @writersnetwork for EC! ��Lovers
Roses blooming in her cheeks,
Her eyes brimming with passion,
She reads on, as the warrior queen
Takes off her armour to drown
Into the fires of love, only to
Emerge as a goddess still
Caressing the marks her lover
Left on her skin, so many lovers,
So many love stories in the world,
The girl wonders, all tints and shades
And hues swirling in the air, invisible,
But not to those whose hearts beat
With love, a sigh escapes her parted
Lips as she wonders, what colours
Do lovers dream in?

Boat
The sea was up in roars,
But the tiny boat looked
The storm in the eye
And said, I have to sail,
I have someone waiting
At the shore for me, so
No matter how loud you
Thunder, or how hard you
Beat down upon me,
So what, if I am tiny,
Or made of paper,
I made a promise I must keep,
So watch me sail through.

Separation
They told me, stay away
From fire, it kisses your
Skin and leaves it charred,
They told me, guns will pierce
Holes in me and knives will
Cut me deep.
They never told me sounds can
Leave scars too, but I know, for
I have been living with the silence
You left behind, and its screams
Stab my heart like a thousand
Daggers, every breath I take.
Don't leave me writhing so in
Agony, this silence is my purgatory,
Make me come alive, call my name,
From across the seas, call my name,
Or in some nether realm, whisper it
To yourself as you fall asleep, as
I wait for you here, remember my name.

Two roads diverged in a yellow wood
And there she stood, twilight hanging
Over her shoulders, she heard love sing
To her, its promises of bliss thickened
The air, so she choked on them each
Time she drew a breath, but there was
Something else too, her heart that had
Been battered, crushed and torn apart
In the name of love, its pieces were
Seduced by the glitter of power.
Wearing her dilemma as a blindfold,
She went around in circles, pouring
The shards of her heart into the soil,
Her tears quickened the womb of
The earth and there sprung up a
Forest of hungry fruit, with a passion
For power, seasons came and went,
And yet blind she was still, till one day
The clamoring of the trees was loud
Enough to drown love's song, and its
Promises of bliss dissolved under the
Aroma of the hungry fruit ripening.

As she sits on her throne today,
She ofttimes thinks of the fork
In the woods, of what lay on the
Other road, were there really pillows
Of sunshine on a bed of flowers
And the arms of a lover waiting for
Her to snuggle into?

Forged
Divine fire, that keeps
The hearth of heaven warm,
Celestial fire, that makes the
Stars shine like diamonds and
Little wells of hope in the dark,
Hellfire, that feasts on monsters
With their hands still dripping with
The blood of innocents,
Fire, in my breath when I take your
Name, in your eyes I see all these fires swirl,
They beckon mortals as if they were
Helpless moths, bound by some primeval
Law to crash on your shores, you who carries
Seas of fires in your blood, in your hands
Lies the fabric of time, to be moulded into
Milestones that will be unforgettable,
In your warmth, they find their sunshine,
Those fighting foggy visions, carrying
Winters in their hearts, in your wrath
The world sees a storm of ashes, of
Those who dare play with your fires,
In your heart, precious heart, you carry
The elixir to make empires rise, so let
Your fires run wild, this is a world
Begging to be burnt down, for in your
Fires it waits to be forged anew.

Her parting gaze,
I remember, I saw
A flash of some emotion
I didn't recognize,
The tear that slid down
Her cheek, and got lost
In the grass beneath her
Feet, today a rose blooms
In the spot where she turned
Away, saying everything sweet
But not a goodbye, I caress the
Rose absent mindedly each morning,
And the dew drops make me wonder,
What would she have done, if I had
Sought to capture her falling tear
Upon my lips, if I had held her hand
And told her I burn in a fire I don't
Understand, if only, I had not
Let her go so easy, if only,
If only.
