false strawberries
this love I tend is a garden
that surrounds my heart
with beautiful blooms and fruit
and like the potentilla thrives
under the harshest of conditions
taking over anything in its path
but the fruit on the vine
cannot be savored
for the taste is bittersweet

Speeding through a gentle breeze;
Under a flaunting full moon;
I squeeze the brakes as the light goes red,
Stop at the intersection on the lake road.
____
I look to my left and see a streetlight,
The light inside, flickering rhythmically;
Clearly indicating a faulty connection,
Like the one that existed between us.
____
I pour my eyes into the rhythmic flicker;
Briefly forgetting the world around;
But I wasn't reminded of those memories,
Wherein our light was vivid and bright.
____
And I knew there was hope for me,
To win, not against you but myself;
And just then the light turned green,
Telling me to continue my journey.

- lovenotes_from_carolyn Very welcome.
- clichepenname It was really well written. Can be applied to so many situations. Pushes you to move on. . I liked the way you metaphorically bring in traffic lights. Cool imagery. Good flow too.
- truevibes @clichepenname Truly appreciate your feedback! ....Pushes me to keep writing
- clichepenname Keep writing bro. All the best. Dont stop even if nobody reads
- truevibes @clichepenname Not a chance! I did that before - Stopped writing because I felt people weren't reading them or liking them...Yeah, I was kind of a moron back then...Now I just write for myself and it truly doesn't matter if people like or dislike my writings. I write because it make me sane.

Reminiscing bittersweet memories while listening to my curated playlist,

Memories
Sitting by the window,
Taking in the beauty of the Night Airglow,
I looked at the sky's pumpkin,
Her glamorous aura breathtaking,
As she is surrounded by little lights,
And they twinkle with might,
I smiled back at the sky's might,
As she took me on a walk,
A walk down the memory lane,
Where you and I laughed like we were insane,
The moon and the stars beaming with us,
As you give me a buss without a fuss,
As we jump, run and roll round the Meadow,
Putting aside the fears, insecurities and egos,
The lane we tried our best to be the happiest,
The juncture were holding on was the easiest,
Alas! this happy moments were only for a while,
But at least the smile then was a genuine smile.
Soon, our fears, insecurities and Ego,
Slowly but surely consumed us.
Holding on became the hardest,
letting go became the easiest.
All we are now is nothing but a painful-sweet memory,
As the "memories bring back memories"

Bring Me To Bittersweet
I fail to believe
dewdrops beading on honeysuckle to the lips
could bring such pain
my thirst for you never fades
bring me to bittersweet
where I may live or die
lay me down amongst the yarrow and moss rose
kiss me one more time
©charlieka14 2 4
One day if everything stops
I wish for our eyes to lock
by some hope you could see how much you've shown me love
the bittersweet feelings that come with it .

Read MoreReverse poetry. read the lines from top and then reverse..
#life #mirrors #Devil #reversepoetry #bittersweet #bargain #WorldsI come back to this world..
The world of white lies and dark truths,
Slippery sweet, tainted divine
Vanity so sublime
I slip again fall and fall
In between truth and mirrors of my mind..
Souls i begged, salvaged pure
Bargained for labors lost in love
Filled with empty space
As now is time lost before,
I shall bargain, twice
As a devil so divine,
I shall come back, this world is mine.

Bittersweet
The taste of you lingers on my tongue.
Now it can only be felt by memory.
As you unknowingly plunge your sword,
It strikes deep into my unshielded heart.
A once sweet flavor quickly becomes bitter.
Bewildered and hurt I search deep into your pupils.
Was my blood meant to quench a dark thirst,
Or was it meant to protect yourself?
©mystical_moon9 1
You..
I have a piece of you with me...
Hung around my neck delicately..
Resting above my heart, moving along with my every little movement...
Reminding of you like a bittersweet day...

Read Morewhen golden rays blossom, sunflower petals unfurling in my veins. and the scent of honeycomb and bubble bath swims in the air molecules around my head
because i know the desperate, aching feeling,
i know the melancholy aroma of a whispered goodbye
sitting in the static silence, our stifled giggles were left hanging the dark room. it seemed that night would never be wiped away by the breath of dawn
because we were alive in that moment: we were butterflies beating our wings against those silken cages to the pounding of our heartbeats. young souls trapped in eternity. intertwined in our own ticking clocks. our own fold in the quilt of ever-expanding time.
but what was the breath of life is swept away in a last murmur of stagnant air. i feel so warm, like a blanket of starlights are shimmering from between the gaps in my ribs. but
i feel so hollow, because your arms loosen their grip around me.
i know the throbbing, the aching.
i know the heart-wrenching and rhapsodic and and lingering echo
of a whispered "goodbye"

Read MoreDear all,
Don't scold writer's block as the mind is trafficked by the neurons as they have lost their way to destination. But that doesn't mean they have stopped their efforts! They are just waiting for the green signal of neurotransmitters to fuel them the neurons again by the warmth of heart.
What does a cold paralysed mind wants at last? A heart's warm hug full of love taking them again to their destination but this time not as a writer, but as a traveller to holidays! Don't they need a vacation? Don't they need to treasure the moments and weave them with memories to cover your pages with warm sweaters of words as pages were blank shivering in the blankness of the mind?
Let writer's block travel the road not taken and come back again with bunch of gifts to decorate the pages again but with some newly brewed contents. Soul is home of writing, how will she deny the arrival of her child if once he is stuck with writer's block? After all soul also needs a kiss which is much more happier than yesterday. After all soul needs her child to see matured through learning that, the pauses in life are only temporary if you are willing to see the radiating sun again.
Writer's block: bittersweet frozen mind shivering in the Northern Pole's December,
Words get trafficked in the pine trees
Covering it like snow, waiting for green signal
To fall on pages like snowflakes.
See writer's block is so childish yet
Full of hope, gradually flows rhythmically,
Singing carols hoping celebration like Christmas.
See how melodiously the pages are welcoming spring and the forest to embrace the green with fragrant flowers of poetries again.

It may come as a S-U-R-P-R-I-S-E that something so simple reminds me of you.
The smell of c-i-g-a-r-e-double t-e-s is all it really takes. It reignites your dormant memory in my deluded heart.
Sitting next to you on the edge of that driveway on a warm breezy evening was euphoric. With only grass in our centric vision, we were impelled into another world.
I glanced sideways at you as you inhaled and exhaled cigarette after cigarette. Our conversations consisted only of the taboo, which I dare not speak about with anyone else.
Ten years later, I still get goosebumps and my heart still races with just the smell of a c-i-g-a-r-e-double t-e - it simply echoes your presence.

Hope to lost soul
For every new second
For every growing minute
For long hours, to days, to weeks
For years and years
For a lifetime and eternity
For life is consequence of certain
New beginnings
But the chaotic part being
The advantage of this "new beginning"
Is reason for a lost soul to hope
Of new changes they aren't ready for
For hoping that the phrase brings change
Than let change be the phrase
Every new beginning ends with another
New beginnings are bittersweet
Bitter cause the end is always known
Sweet cause it provides a delusion of happier life
End being unknown but known to start with another "NEW BEGINNING"

Honey Dipped Razor
Fatalism, what a blinding terror
In the air are
whispers
Of splendid impermanence.
I want to dance
with death
In beds of roses and austere
importance, a mare
of happenstance and dreams.
Many a bones have I laid down
From a shoulder to the ground
A pall bearer of a love filled mazer,
Life , death - cutting like a honey dipped
razor.

When drank warm,
it’s sweet and makes you crave more.
When drank cold,
it will fool you and leave you bitter

2020, you were bittersweet
in so many unspeakable ways,
I learnt and lost many,
I connected with distant and far away,
I’m not sure how I feel about you, per se,
2020, you were bittersweet
in so many unfathomable ways...

@mirakee @writersnetwork @verbose @yamini_poetry @diya_singh @detached_soul @devashi @trishavi @sillypoetकोई इंतहा नहीं, सब्र-आज़माई की अब,
सर्द रातों में मानो जम सा गया हूँ..
हसरत आशनाई की लेकर ख़्वाबों में,
थक कर ज़रा थम सा गया हूँ..
बैठे होंगे वो नावाक़िफ़ कहीं इत्मिनान से,
मेरी ख़्वाहिशों को जाने-अनजाने दफ़्न कर..
और यहाँ मैं उनकी कमी में थोड़ा कम सा गया हूँ..

Bittersweet
the smell of the rain has never been this sweet
as i asked myself "what happened?"
my thoughts wandered farther than my feet could ever take me
"bittersweet" i told myself while lighting my cigarette
it was a rainy night and the city was almost asleep
standing next to me was a boy also pouring his eyes out
"please don't go" he whispered
i stared blankly at the dark road ahead,
turned my back at him
took a step forward feeling all numb
all i wanted to do was to run away, sleep and wake up as if everything was just a dream
"please, please.. don't leave me. i'm begging you" he pleaded
the silence that night was deafening
and nothing was brighter than the fact that i gave up on him,
i gave up on us and i gave up on myself
there goes my bestfriend, my lover and my first love
a few days passed and i could feel the bigger space, the failure, the regrets
next thing i knew i was already standing in front of his door
i knocked once, twice, thrice. no one answered.
then i received a message saying "i will never go back"
i felt broken, empty then.. i felt nothing.
first love, first failure
took me years to overcome everthing
then i've learned to be more selfless, stronger and smarter on my next ones
i forget about 'giving up' unless i need to.
which since never ever came out of my mouth again
this memory has never left me, it was stuck in a special corner in my mind.
never told this story by mouth to anyone and took me three cigs to finish this piece.
again, "bittersweet" i told myself.
