Above a sunrise
I imagine a white space suit,
With a fishbowl helmet on.
Just exiting the spaceship door,
West of the moon, east of the sun.
If earth is where we started,
We won't be back until we are done,
Circling the milky way from,
West of the moon, east of the sun.
Hopping from planet to planet,
Viewing landscapes that stun.
Only sad when going back home again,
West of the moon, east of the sun.

Faded
I see how the sparkle in his own eyes faded
I feel how his romantic feelings faded
I notice how his interest and care is also faded
But one thing I never know on how his love faded
©binibining_vj6 0
As I'm falling I wonder if anyone would care as much as you do to catch me.
As I ask myself words of wonder,
will anyone take their heart and give it me.
I don't need the answers to these questions, because I know that no matter what, you will still love me.

Time came swiftly and silently
Gray hair snuck up silently
Wrinkles showed up gradually, silently
Death also comes silently

Friendship nets
In life we make a net that we work on forever
and we call it our network of friends
tying it together with the most intricate knots
that sometimes might fray at the ends.
Sometimes the knots in the net are so tight
a friendship might loosen but never undo
and sometimes the knots will completely unravel
so a friendship sadly slips through.
Some knots were just never meant to be bound
and some we wish we had tied up before
and our nets get bigger with each year of our lives
though some knots we may need to restore.
These nets will catch friendships we never expected
that will take us completely by pleasant surprise
while some friendships were never meant to be made
so we regretfully undo all those ties.
But in all of those knots in our wide friendship nets
whether it be one hundred or twenty or ten
they were knots that were all worth tying together
even if some had to be undone again.
And so through life as our nets continue to change
and some knots they unravel and fray
remember those knots that have always held tight
and let go of the ones that were meant to give way.

Epistrophe
Words so gentle, utterly nd soft,
can be found in any good book, with a hard cover or soft.
Beautiful, tenderly nd soft.
depending on the words, you like to use! Try to be soft?
Words, always buzzing like a bee hive inside, loud or soft
If we choose a whisper: it can be utterly soft.
Honey gently flows, while love gently grows. when words is spoken tender and soft.
But honey, harsh words explodes, nd swams in ur heart, trouble awaits, sadly not soft!
I tell the truth! All hearts love, to feel words dressed in softness!
Angry-bee-words, unmerciful sting, nothing tender or soft!
Be careful how you use words, with the tone of ur voice? Choose to be soft?
Some sounds hard, while others falls inside the heart, gently, utterly nd soft.

"Dawn"
It was me to propose you,
asking 'will you marry me?'
whilst lying on the bed just
beside you after spending
some quality time beforehand.
It was the time of dawn.
once,you'd awaken me when
i was in deep slumber with you,
you awoke me and wanted me,
It was the time of dawn.
You had misbehaved with me
and even hurt me both physical
and mental ways,broke my heart.
It was the time of dawn.
we had a great time conversing
with each other through video call,
for the consecutive four good days,
And when we both talked looking
at the screen to see one another so
eagerly yet quite shy and gladly,
Ii was the time of dawn.
You had first made love with me
and made me fall madly in love
with you,which still gives me
goosebumps and thrilling chills,
It was the time of dawn.
it's been a couple of days,since
I've spoken to you,and the last
time I've spoken to you,and,again,
It was the time of dawn.
Wonder how it occurred
with us incidentally or
coincidentally,God knows
best but dawn is a common
factor to be there when,
It was the time of Dawn.11 2 3
Sands of time
Yesterday moved on so fast. I moved myself at every task. Then found I fell and couldn't last. Thinking... then...
This too shall pass, these grains of sand in an hour glass.
Today I know just what to do. I'll brace myself at every move. I will surpass and follow through. Knowing... now...
Time withstands, these grains of sand in an hour glass.
Tomorrow's schedule is written down. It guide's me as I move around. The unexpected turn may be found...
With sleight of hand, these grains of sand in an hour glass.
My mind it changes, turns, and bends; these grains of sand in an hour glass.

Chair
An empty chair
Remembering its late owner, sighing in the gloomy room corner,is the empty chair
So close, yet so far, her sweet memories float in midair, invoking a grin on the dust-laden empty chair
Sunrays touch its arm, the heart is soft, but nobody knows, that's the sorrow of the wooden empty chair
The sun may fade, the moon may be dead, the soil is gone, but no demise of the soul of the empty chair.

1st April 2022
Thank you so much for this amazing challenge ma'am��
Homosexual~ A sinner of fallacious sins
A harsh slap on his rose tinted cheeks and he tasted the blood of his innocence. He was dazed by few punches and kicks on his face and stomach. The earth under his feet moved and love stumbled when his father retracted the roof of solicitude from his head disowning him. Words bedizened with blue , fell from his trembling lips begging for the delicate touch of mercy. His mother ensnared him inside the grey boundaries of his dorm , trimming brittle blooms from the plant of her love.
/His pleas went unheard . He was frail , his masculinity was overshadowed with frail emotions . Perhaps he was sinner. /
He overheard few confab while crossing the corridor of his school with a heartful of blood curdling anxiety. Some gut-wrenching remarks pulled the pool of tears in his sorrow stained orbs but the residue of pulverized courage fenced them all. He tried to conceal the fragments of his severed life inside the pages of the book, the treasure of wisdom and intelligence. His hopes tumbled and reveries morphed themselves into ephialtes when the black phrases screamed " homosexuality is an infectious illness that needs to be treated , an offence, a stygian stain on the white wings of seraphic society. His soul took a step back from life reducing some numbers synonym of age , betwixt the death and his existence. He plugged in the earphones of fear to listen to the music extracted from the profanities that never fails to lacerate his toned skin.
/A simple touch on his scar and aching heart turned on the malice melodies , "he deserves to die he is criminal, a sinner. "/
The sky inked with dark hues like his youth. There are billions of stars still he was all alone . Mayhaps he is star destined to fall to grant the wishes of people erasing his monstrous existence. There was not a single awning of kindness in this gigantic globe that could protect him from the cruel storms of abhorrence. Everyone gifted him words honed with loathe wrapped with beautiful faces and lethal lips dripping repugnance . He painted the pictures of his epilogue and observed how his end will efface the dust of disgust from everyone's glasses throwing confetti of rejoice all over the cosmos. Not a single soul will shed tear for him. He captured the scenery of sun diving deep into the ocean of pastel pink horizon, splashing pitch black hues , in his eyes. He pushed his numb body down the edges of the tall building of library and embraced death/peace making his reminiscences seep out from his veins not leaving a single drop of remnant behind.
/He was a miscreant , who murdered himself. He was a sinner./

Epistrophe
Pictures of tomorrow,
Covering the reality of today,
Are they guaranteed by time,
Or an illusion of today?
Making this a question,
Question that doesn't serve,
my today.

Read MoreSummer
She waltzed around the ocean's beach
Watching the water drift through her fingertips
A dazzling smile in her face
as she basked in the sunshine
She warmed my heart
And i fell in love
Spring
She traipsed through blooming lilac feilds
Weaving wildflowers in her hair
As she chased colourful butterflies
As she skipped around
She breathed life into me
And i fell in love
Autumn
She danced under the gold flecked trees
Cathing the falling leaves
A faint blush blossomed in her cheeks
As she gazed at the sky
She made me feel alive
And i fell in love
Winter
Winking at the stars
She frowned at the frostbites peppering
Her face as she ran in the snow
Making snow castles
She made me smile
And i fell in love
Monsoon
From the embrace of my arms
She peeked through the windows
Looking at the clouds
As she searched for rainbows
Humming to the patter of raindrops
as she leaned into me
She made me complete
And i fell in love
#epistrophe #seasonsSeasons appeared and faded
But my love for her stayed the same

Will you read it out aloud ?
will you sing it out in the crowd ?
Will you cease to think about the world?
Will you replace my tears with shiny pearls?
Will you adorn me with glitters of the great divinity?
Will you ever be able to put me, above all your insecurities ?

Through the Heart's Eyes
Just you and me, quiet in the dark
Looking at each other straight in the eyes
You had those eyes
that shined in the dark
You viewed me as something broken that needed to be fixed
I've changed
You could see it in my eyes
How do I hide this pain?
You looked me in the eyes
I held so much sadness in my eyes
I spoke all the words through my eyes
You could almost touch the scars that brought these tears to my eyes
You have crept into the deepest parts of me
You understood the pain
I was feeling as tears filled my eyes
You held out your hand as you wiped the tears from my eyes
It was your eyes
that made me feel I could find myself
@melodious_nightingale15 0 2
How fool was I to believe your words,
When your eyes were telling that you're not worth,
To lie to myself that it was love,
When it was nothing but deceitful love.

#epistropheEven Though.
Though we dwell on shifting sands,
Though the world inhales and exhales.
Though the rain falls and then returns,
Though the wind whistles its tales.
Though the world turns perpetually,
Though the sun soars and then retreats.
Though the sea calls incessantly,
Though earth shifts beneath our feet.
Though you cannot hear my voice,
Though you cannot see my eyes.
Though we suffer for our choice,
Though the tragic stains our lives.
Though you cannot share my bed,
Though hearts, once empty, are full.
Though your lips are painted red,
Though I'll always feel your pull.
Though our fingers released their grasp,
Though we let each other go,
Though our souls exhale and gasp,
Though I'll always love you so.

My thorns come free,
With the petals on me,
Question is honey
How can you love just a part of me ?
My heart is like moon,
Where craters due to pain would be visible soon !
Question is honey
How can you just love a part of me ?
My madness is certain,
With sanity in me !
Question is honey
How can you just love a part of me ?
