Empty Shells
The splinters of a rooftop
Break loose, quietly in the storm
When the guns salute
And rain scalding metal
~
Yet the pure love of home
Never truly dies
Still alive in the sergeant
The spotter
The sapper
~
Buckling walls take flight
As dust rising in the night
As armor swarms from the east
To burn black at sunrise
~
Yet the memory of home
Wafts gently with the breeze
Guiding worn souls back
Into the caverns underneath
~
The broken shards of home
Will be pieced whole again
When spires chime,
For the white scarred legions
Marching home

The Scattered Bones of a Metropolis
Pacing, in the ruins of a garden
In the royal blue morning
Before the stars die out
~
Only the children speak
From the moss-cradled bones
Of their mother colossus
Their harmonies
Rising and falling in the maze
~
Only their anthems toll
From once radiant castles
Their cautionary wail
In pursuit through the trees
~
I roam away
Diminished
As a new day crumbles
To their promises of firePhoto By Gonzalo Pedroviejo Gmez on Unsplash11 0#राजमहल
कभी कभी विचारों के सैलाब आते है,,,
तो कभी बिल्कुल वीरान होता हूं ।।
या
मैं खड़ा हो जाता हूं बिल्कुल राजमहल की तरह,,,
तो कभी खंडरो सा हो जाता हूं ।।

Learned none to pick the ruins
Scarred

I build an abode... my first sand castle!!

I was just a nameless weed.
Belonging to an unknown breed.
Thus they threw me out of the sacred garden
Of the royal palace, me being a burden.
Years passed, soon centuries elapsed.
The garden was in ruins,the palace collapsed.
On the top of the tower, used to fly a flag,
Where I now creep and sleep, without boast or brag.

It was all easy,
Until you came around
The disturbed chords in me,
Suddenly formed a soothing sound
The broken string in me gave a tune
The lasting winter
Became the summer of june
I am still in that fantasy,
where I could actually see you
So why waste what we had in being new
I know you won't be able to bear this
And I want us to not
But we can't make it
This love wasn't meant for a knot
©mequreshi8 0Death
If there is a god,
Then he isn't look for humans
Coz god never ruins people
But they have the power,
To rise above these circumstances and events.

@mirakee thank you so much for the POD! It's a real honour and a delight. And thank you for everyone who took a moment read this slice of history from my home town.
Hey, guys. I know it's been a while. Sorry, I couldn't read your magical pieces.
University has started, so I won't be able to be here as frequently as I used to, but I'll definitely come around as soon as I get some free time.
Thank you for asking @heartsease @fairytales_ @asmita_chakraborty
I was really touched by the gesture.
And a few words about the Fort.
This is one of the most stunning vistas in Galle, Sri Lanka, which is incidentally, my home town.
________________________________________________
THE OLD FORT
The old Fort stands
By the edge of the coast
As the waves smash against
Her moss covered stone walls
Those proud greying walls
Worn smooth from centuries
The ruined battlements still remain
Nestled between the fallen towers
Where the canons used to stand
The cannons...
Oh, the cannons!
How the fort misses them
Her own majestic children
Now all tucked away
In the dusty alcoves
Of the unvisited museum
The clock tower is silent
It's bells haven't rung in years
The broken clock face
Where no one's eyes rest
What she wouldn't give
To hear the bells again...
To feel the resounding heartbeat
Of the footfalls of marching soldiers
Upon stone pavements of her skin
Of course she's heard that war is wrong
And maybe there's truth in that
After all, she still hasn't forgotten
The combined scent of blood and sweat
That soaked through her earth
A long, long time ago
But war has been her life
The only time she's felt alive
Her songs mingled with battle cries
Her soul flying along the crimson standards
Her own halcyon days
Written in the ink of battle
Now nothing remains
Of those glory days
Instead, there are crying children
And flustered mothers buying ice creams
The regal soldiers at attention
Replaced with flower filled pavements
And quaint little tea shops
The place where the squadron's flag stood
Rippling in the air with victory
Is now the backdrop
For the "#'@" selfies
And still she stands.

Sometimes we feel all broken, curses our past and all our actions, when we locked the all of us in that heart and pretend that we don't have any
And then when we are surviving through all,
Just someday, some person walk in our life
and with their heart they unlock our heart's lock where we almost hide our every feelings our every emotions and each and every part of ourself that is secretly desperate for love
The way they are, the way they hold us, the way they stand right behind you, the way they just stay near you, even that person is at distance, you feel them closest to you, just their moves surreptitiously tells you that they are "one".And then when we are surviving through all,
Just someday, some person walk in our life
and with their heart they unlock our heart's lock where we almost hide our every feelings our every emotions and each and every part of ourself that is secretly desperate for love

The words "The Ruiner" were written by Nine Inch NailsWhen
When they ruin a good day.
When they ruin your fun.
Need I say more, they are the ruiners.
~
When they ruin anything,
They have no idea about you.
Let them carry their name as the ruiner.17 0 1cardelljhardy 85w
RUINS
Invisible from the rest of the world
Broken and worn; but still remain strong.
Still standing against the wind
A sight to behold.
Of my story to be told millions ago.
©cardelljhardy14 0 1Traveller
Life is!!!
A dream in mirage...
Let mine be like that...
"Those" who mislead me to mirage...
Let "them" prosper...
Now that 'm sublunary...
Empty of all emotions...
"They" want to fit in...
A new Soul....
My dearest confidant...
Already took up a new journey...
Let them be a traveller now...
As i chase...
My desired "Ruined Destination"....
Let me extinct Gracefully ||

Ferns on the broken wall
••••√°°°°°°••••√°°°°°°°°°°•••√°°°°°°°
There stood a wall of old red bricks,
sculpted as a fence that now lays in its ruins,
around a beautiful paradise called home,
where life once ticked like a metronome.
While memories leaned on it for many ages,
time stood still on it gazing muses,
celebration planted next to it always bore fruit,
flowers sprouted on it grew relations cute,
sun, rain and wind tried their might,
moon, stars, and streetlight lit it in the night,
birds of every season sang on it for all,
while tiny snails crawled on this damp wall.
And as life, spent growing days into years,
all promises and expectation slowly veers,
and dreamers leave for another abode,
while emptiness creeps in down the road,
knocking over the wall of old red bricks,
and covering it with ferns to hide all ruins.

Misunderstandings
Sometimes some misunderstandings populate us.
And sometimes some misunderstandings ruin us .
But misunderstandings always teach us something.

I know love is blind

You should also have a limit on love .
