A tangled mess
Confusion multiplied
To love so deep yet
Fill so cheep
Ashamed alone
No one knows
Tied to a wall
My master calls
Obey obey
Things will go his way
Alone in thoughts I silently
Pray.
Forever is the
sentimentally beautiful
dancing with birdsongs
salient memories
running free with
summered dreams of us
and i have tried
to keep that smile
seeping in moonlight
missing eludes still
my heart and
love inclined binds
Your definition of forever is impressive. Thanks for sharing this Michelle 🙌
I’ve tried
How can you
Get over someone
You loved so much
I’ve tried
But It’s like catching wind
In a butterflies net
I’ve tried
To get over you
Move on from
Crazy days full of
Laughter and fun
I’ve tired
And all I am left with now is
One big ball of messiness
I’ve tried
I got you Reenie. We are not virgins in this river. Thanks for sharing this.
Desert’s Embrace
Searing heat reminds me
days we used to share
even our voices knew
whispering about love.
Desert mirages confront me
images we wrote about
songs you gave to me
nights we sang together.
Our sacred sanctuary
a deepness of love
sifts through my thoughts now
kissing them back home.
I admire the way you maneuver your way around words to the extent that you break certain grammatical rules just to express yourself. That’s just amazing and then there’s this thing you do. That is giving certain things life like in this poem voices…Great one Rob. Thanks for sharing.
I’m such a rogue outlaw… I love it. ;^>
DUMBED DOWN
By Neel Trivedi
Gone are the days,
When mornings would be full of promises
Gone are the hopes & dreams touching my eyes
with the first ray of sunlight
For I planned my day & I failed
For I dreamed & got shattered
For I pined for the feeling of triumph
to make love to me at nightfall
And it pushed away me like leprosy
Perhaps emulating my family & former friends
The agendas are now remedial enough
That even a half-dead mind like mine could complete
Unlike the old agendas,
It demands no effort from the heart
No spirit to flirt with & seek
the companionship of hope
Just go through the motions
Sneak in a tear here & there
Just to “check in” & disprove
the outcry of those around me
That I’m no longer a person
Hyperventilate a bit,
Just to remind my soul
That I’m still clinically alive
No matter how dead in all other ways
Such simple agendas with no aspirations
So simple in fact
That the feeling of accomplishment
Has no choice now but to accept that I “won.”

I will definitely say it again…this is a good poem with a good taste of victory
Trying to forget
chills from long
and short bath
of romance is fruitless.
I try all I can try
so as not to be stuck
but move forward-
Your spell says no.
Is it my mind
or memories I cage
that imprison me so
cos I boost of power?
I may be strong
but not to that touch,
smile, wink, laughter,
hug, and the break up.

This poem comes from a broken heart that tries to forget a not so jocund past with love. It may not be the love love duo for you like me but any how it presents itself, we all have our story to tell which out times is same but a different plot.
I am a failure at everything
From getting a job to finding love
Even getting to famous
To look at me would you blame us
I stopped looking when I reached 40
Then realised I could campaign for disabled in care
I realised I could continue with my poetry
