Miraquill
We grew abound with wounds
Learned none to pick the ruins
Scarred
hard.

My heart is full to bursting
with all the things
I want to say to you
They're breaking me to pieces
trying to get out
My soul is lost searching
and wandering
to where I can't reach you
A secret hiding place
Loneliest, prettiest thing
I can't get out

Here in my hand
is the last promise you gave
Always promises
but never once
a goodbye
Here I stand
On the stone your name engraved
Years and years
your absence
is goodbye
All must come to end
The buxom lady sang and waved
Forget-me-nots
and gardenias
Love, goodbye.

Even when I strip myself bare
Still, I cower
in the dimmest corner
Even then, I admit I still care
Still, I tremble
Inconsolable
Oh what lurking fear
of what you'd think of me
How suddenly it's crystal clear
to eventually see the real me

Here I am darling
Three a.m. in the morning
Even after you're long gone
I'm still trying
to find the words
to say to you
Hear me darling
Free me from dying
Prayers be the songs of mourn
I'm still singing
to bind you close
to my own rescue
Dear my darling
Beloved, my everything
In a world's so wrong and worn
There's nothing
permanent and simple
as my love for you.

If You Love Me So
You know,
if you love me so,
please let me go
I know
I can never
look into your eyes
and beg for more goodbyes,
I can never
say it loud enough
and stand tough
Don't just hold me
and hold your peace
like nothing is wrong;
Why won't you ask me,
"Why all the tears,
what's wrong?"
If you love me so,
Don't even question
if it's just another joke
And no, it's not an illusion;
Hear me as these tears flow,
Watch me scream while I choke
as I've fallen
all silent
I know,
you love me so
Please,
please
let me go.

For what it's worth,
let me examine
the ironies
and the paradoxes
life's signed me in:
Two opposing stars
at constant wars
June was the month
July is the name
Two-faced twins upfront
Crabby crab all the same
My soul aches
for being either too late or too fast
to simply be here on Earth.67 9 14

#mar9iech #margiech #mirakee @mirakee #poem #poems #poetry #readwriteunite @readwriteunite #love #poetry #writersnetwork @writersnetworkShame, the shackles
heavy on the ankles
Guilt, the gasoline
fuelin' in between
It's a race you're losing
for time's forever a foe
who stops for nothing
No rewind or pause
You, alone, must flee
non baggage-free
You run until you're numb
from the person you've become
It's a one-way adventure
caught in a motion
Deep seas and desert land
Will one ever understand:
that grief is an anchor
and tears are an ocean?

A wanderer came to know
she has nowhere,
and anywhere
to go
A wanderer came to learn
a pattern:
anywhere to turn,
nowhere to return
Freedom is a prison
she carries beyond reason

Do you remember when we left
our hearts in the ocean, sweetheart?
When we sailed
around and around and around
wishing the waves
would sway them back to us?
Yet the wind, it pushed us
farther to the shore instead..
Now here we are
with our feet in the sand
See, sweetheart
from here we stand,
though broken
and would never really mend
There on the horizon,
a beat is still a beat
even if it is not the same
I know we now have
to part ways and dance
around this ocean of time
Still, a beat is a beat
even if it is only mine.

She's a beauty queen
(So everyone says)
She's one happy princess
(No she can't be mean)
Oh such a busy queen!
(She, everyone adores)
I'll tell you her chores:
(Everyone, but her own kin)
Look at the way she smiles,
(Does anyone notice her blue eyes)
and oh her laughter everyone loves!
(and all those tears when she laughs?)
...
She's a beauty queen
(So everyone says)
One happy princess
(What does it even mean?)

Hidup memilikku,
ia memiliki dunia
Hidupku terlampau bertepi
bagi bentangan dunianya.

I'm confined to this time and place
where we're not face to face,
eyes to eyes
and heart to heart
I still think of you
Maybe a little more than I have to
All we have is love
It's just not enough
We found but the middle ground
And it broke me to let you go
For I know
you'd stay around;
Tell me this hurts less
and you're not a mess
In case you wonder why
We're both cowards, baby
It's a little too late, baby
You and I
But maybe time will fall into place
when we're back face to face,
eyes to eyes
and heart to heart
It may sound like a cliche
But I meant it when I said that I
I hope we'd forgive each other one day
Afterall, we never really said goodbye.

I'm relearning everything
of how I see things
I'm seeing how You're showing
me new beginnings
I am nothing
that's how ugly I'm feeling
but Your word says I'm worth noting
I am void
and in You only, You see to it
that I'm made whole and fulfilled
I am broken
but it's necessary, for certain,
for Your grace to do all the healin'
My soul, it constantly grieves
All these tears and my heart in pieces
It takes griefs to know Your love gives me peace
...
Each thorn deep hidden
and long forgotten
You bring forth to surface
for me to own and face:
Here I am, untangled ball
of emotions unbridled
and for as long as I can recall,
years and years of anger unresolved
Past regrets and mistakes
Missed opportunities and all those places
I never got to go,
I need to let go
...
Forgiveness is hardest
What about the apologies I never have?
But to know You've forgiven me first,
why can I still not forgive, not even myself?
Oh the humility
of being stripped
to owning almost nothing
to knowing one last single thing:
You're the utmost security
of everything I need
Before I can love again,
in grief I need to love me
It's never about me, me and me
But to understand
the unshakable fact that
You have loved me first, and that
should be more than enough
For me
to love
even me.

The worst fights of your life
are best fought,
and conquered,
within yourself.

Obviously
My mind's a chaotic clamor
of questions needing answers
So much you struggle to utter
knowing it no longer matters
When you're just one tiny box
among crowded blocks
in someone's head
(No warning ahead!)
that they can decide
to just put aside
whenever they like,
whenever such needs strike,
the heart aches
and the heart breaks;
the pieces freeze
before they leak into tears
One thing is certain:
the heart never seems to learn
Swore I'd never settle for less
but here 'tis, a familiar mess
And it's all on me,
obviously.

Everything's changed
but what we've had
I can't escape
I can't escape
Everything unsaid
and what we said
They're in my head
They're in my head
When we were mad, mad
We turned sad, sad, sad
We're so afraid
We're so afraid
Honeymoon phase
and intimacy fades
I miss you so bad
I miss you so bad
The way our lips danced
The way we embraced
You're in my head
You're in my head
...
I hope we'll forgive each other
We did promise forever
You're all I've had
You're all I've had

- ohdi120893 Is this a song?
- mar9iech @ohdi120893 no it isn't. It's a poem I just wrote. I use repetition as the literary/rhetorical device to emphasize & serve a dramatic purpose.

For everything else we so
stubbornly refuse to own,
At least this woe
is sternly mine alone.

They called me ancient
just because I was innocent
She called me self conscious
when I was really just being honest
And my love...
she was sick of
my holier than thou attitude
And it hurt more than it should
Those past hurts
you're still battling to unravel
To present battles
of sinking beyond your comfort
Or the secret love
you can never speak of:
I am a she
A woman
I am a sea
An ocean
Of secrets
within secrets.
