Looking at his dark Raven eyes my heart fluttered even though I knew it was just a pack of lies,
I wonder if the sky would still breath tomorrow if i failed to look upon its face, coz I knew from that moment on that every morning the first thought would be of those dark Raven eyes and I would fondly remember that dear face.

Sky

Deeply engrossed in my work desk, i hear a bird chirps loud
To notice who is making peculiar sound, I barge in the balcony; noticing the clouds!
Would the sky still breathe tomorrowif i failed to look upon its face?
I sit down to observe the nature and my surroundings place!
The scenic design in the environment and orange painted sky;
makes me wonder how often we forget to live and why!
It provides a soothing effect in my heart
I vow to observe it to every day's start!
A colourful bird flies across the tree
It's very sound piqued interest in me!
Over the years, many have left me behind
Nature is my contant place to rewind!!
The sun and stars continue their story
It adds beauty on days that don't bring glory
Life would be incomplete without nature!
Have a glance at the sky to release all your pressures!

The Cerulean Erlebnisse

At the sacred synagogue
of soul’s colonnade,
whilst I’m saturated in
sophisticated hymnal
elegance of heliolatry
contemplating gratification in gratitude,
the pulsating nerve at the substrata of
pneuma swiftly whispered to me,
“Would the sky still breathe tomorrow
if I failed to look upon its face?”.

Moi vital encephalon
enshrouded itself forthwith
in the crypt of dark reticence,
in saudade for the exegesis.

After aeons of cerulean
incineration on dark pyre,
the ether benignantly divulged
deciphering its surreptitiousness
to the engendered relics of
moi latent clairvoyance.

The grey remnants of life
then discerned the prolific probity of
elan vital as the tangible dimension
of incalescent prudence
comprehending the sky as its soul.

Weep

"I just want to rest." She muttered to the emptiness of her room as if she were telling a secret and only the walls were her witnesses.

She heard voices... a lot. She tried to speak but her voice got lost amidst the never-ending echoes of the darkness.

Her hand made its way under the cold pillows. Her fingers touched something cold and sharp, it already felt like it was piercing through her pale skin.

"I'm sorry." She said, whilst looking at her reflection on the shattered mirror, and along with it, she saw her broken soul, whimpering and crying.

She felt sorry. Her soul pleaded with her to live, but she refused. She was tired already.

"Would the sky still breathe tomorrow if I failed to look upon its face?" She asked her broken soul in the mirror.

No answers. She smiled. The last thing she saw, was her reflection falling.

Then darkness.

In the mirror, her soul remained. She stared at her body helplessly and cried. Raindrops start to fall outside the window, making small thumping sounds.

"The sky still breathes... But it weeps for you."

The next morning, it rained hard.

Wondering on the Would's

Would the moon still embrace my scars forgetting its own , if i ignored his presence?
Would the roses still linger
fragrance , if i make them wither with
The Wind of whimsical words?
Would the clouds of catastrophe wander in my mind, if i sing salvation?
Would the stars still twinkle for me , if I fall for the twilight?
Would the sun still shine in my mornings , if I'm busy taking all the light for granted?
Would the universe still whisper secrets of the black hole , if im hypnotised by the darkness?
Would the planets of feelings still rotate on the axis of love , if i forget what love is?
Would the blues of the day dissappear , if i look for pinks of the eve?
Would the cosmos recite metaphors of mankind in space?
Would the sky still breath tomorrow, if i failed to look upon its face?
//And honey, would you be my melody of soulful symphonies, if i can't sing the rhythm of love?//

luvnotes_challenge_host This is a breathtaking and captivating interstellar stunner!! Very well written, envisioned, and conveyed! You captured the essence of the phrase prompt superbly! Thank you for participating. ✨️✍️

One side note regarding the haiku challenge - the piece you wrote for it is absolutely beautiful, but the syllable count should be 5 in the first and third line and 7 in the middle line. Your syllable count is 7 in the first line, 9 in the second line, and 7 in the third line, but your word count is 5/7/5, so I think you perhaps counted words, instead of syllables. With a bit of editing and restructuring, I'm sure you can get the piece to meet the challenge criteria.

kp_singh @luvnotes_challenge_host The emotions you are going through shows how difficult it's to be a parent. And how much sacrifices our parents make just for the sake of our happiness
luvnotes_challenge_host @kp_singh I wish that too brother, because I've never experienced such a thing and it doesn't exist even further back in my ancestry. Even going back to my great grandparents, they married and lived on their own until they had children. Then those children moved out, started families of their own, and so on.
Actually, I wish small villages existed in today's world. Everyone knows each other and the entire family is within walking distance of one another. That would be ideal.
kp_singh @luvnotes_challenge_host I can understand sis. Villages are still the most happiest places to live in. Because everyone knows each other and care for each other like families. Few years ago I visited a village in Punjab and there I met a family with cousin brothers living together. I was really happy to see their bond with each other.
luvnotes_challenge_host @kp_singh Must have been quite wonderful!
kp_singh @luvnotes_challenge_host Yeah indeed sis

I wore you like an antique glove.
One stowed in an attic, that time forgot.
One that isn't in vogue now.
One that embodies all the values of your grandmother's era.
A style seldom carried today.
I wore you like a retro-trend before its time.
I wore it 'til its delicate seams were fragile.
'Til its velveteen finger-points were grubbied
From all the frequent turning
of all your crudely-inked pages.
I wore you when everyone else forgot you were a thing.
I still do.
I can't not.

silence sounds like...?

What does silence sound like?
I honestly wouldn't know.
My mind, my heart, my existence,
Bring clanging and clammering, no matter where I go.

I've learned to turn down my inner noise
And even to control the level with which I make any address...
But to hear true silence? I could only dream to... perhaps I do?!
During nights that permit sleep, despite retiring with head and heart in such a mess...

revelry and rain

I don't know why but with you I'd dance
In a storm in my best dress:
Fearless.

I've passed so many dry days
In ripped shirts and heavy boots:
Restless.

Some day, some how, I'll throw it all together
Sun frock and steel-caps, rough-polished:
Flawless.

I picture that's how revelry and rain would finally meet
Soaked yet dancing... True romancing.
Priceless.

Only then would my flighty thoughts and fast, nude drenched lips
Finally find themselves lost for words.
Speechless.

promise

I can honestly only hope for you
That things really are that comforting and great
For your words to have gone missing as often;
So, so much as they have at late...

For I fear without your words escaping your mind and heart
You'll lose touch of who you really are.
I worry for you, that time you're consuming you'd usually spend waxing lyrical,
Will end up leaving you later, with new hurts, and yet another scar.

You've endured so much as it is now
To the point I think we both agree and understand:
Another nasty blow, another mess, we'd both attest
Is something you just couldn't bear to withstand.

Be cautious, please, be realistic, aware, and always of a true heart.
I say this sincerely, with any vested interest of mine put aside.
Be discerning and thoughtful, do what's right for you,
Rather than lure trouble like flies to honey, and you to another dead-end with a need to hide.

I promise you to offer much sanctuary as I'm able.
I promise no matter what, I got you... I'll remain a considerate and caring friend.
I promise I'll never, ever judge, no matter what sin you feel you've done. I'm just not the type.
I'm the kind that'll stick things out and be there, 'til the very end.

Rainless Nights

Oh the irony! A prompt of "rainy nights".
Poems on this topic I've likely penned dozens. This is my perfect theme, but alas, I'm too drained!

I've stood under no rain for over a week,
Words right now I can hardly speak,
Let alone write about them in a way that would do them justice, which leaves me pained.

The ground is dry. So is my inner ink. The weather and my bedroom remain out of sync.
I offer instead a future poem, after rest, after regathering, and once it's rained.

The Mad Cry

VOICES
Slither into my dreams like
Satan hissing or
Helen seducing.
Submerging me into that subconscious
Sea of chaotic madness, some witchery
That my mind can't fathom
Seizes my brain
senses run amuck
Swept and startled
I'm drowning and grasping
All at once
All over
Again.
VOICE
Single, subdued
Seeks out pity
Cites reason,resolution, recovery
Speaks out meekly,
Sincerely stitches
Seams of bipolarity.
It sweeps up the mess, with Strength
Soothes the Soul
Surrendering me to a safe moor
Sleeps soundly
Surrounded by
Storms more
Shhhhhhhhhhhh....
VOICES

//It's a tough world out there and when you feel scattered like those gemstones of a broken necklace; this world constantly tries to pull you down– in the abyss of Saudade.

Everyone faces tough situations at many points. But whatever happens, you must stand for yourself. If hope might not show her presence everytime, I should be the hope yourself, for your own precious self. Even if today's sunrise is cloudy, there is hope that the orange star might shine the next day....

With feathers of joy, let's live each moment conquering our fears and tell the universe that we are one of those stars who still shine on falling//

In a world where you feel cold,
You gotta 'Stay Gold'
----- J. K.

Here Princesse Dorée means The Golden Princess in French (I just tried giving a French literary touch to this, so do correct me if I am wrong anywhere!)

___________________________________________________

~Guerrière~

It lies there– in the viridescent strath
–My kingdom of sangria Fleur-de-lis,
Whence buoyancy rollicks–salubrious
Whence melancholia is a penumbra,

My palais– it is of perle and mabre,
–And my crown–it is pure émeraude,
I ain't on my throne; the Princesse Dorée
–On my unicorn 'Bonheur'– I sallied

A princesse–with a baïonette adorned!
Her stiff hands rested on rufous halberds,
Eulogize her face–on it a casque lies,
Atop her steel heart–is a silver shield,

I–the guerrière–waged many a war,
–With those palatinates of barbarism
I couldn't defeat them–nay, I can't still,
But–I didn't let their bugles horn up proud,

A broken spear–a half pierced arrow–
Murky gore–on my face and rosy lips,
The merciless wind–condemned me–
'Madame! Forsooth–thy heart shalt stop'

'Twas a battle–against my own fears–
My vizier named trepidation– I fight with,
For a servant of mine; fear should be one–
And not it's slave–shall ever be my mind,

Will I be the princesse – safeguarding–
Her tiara–embellished by hessonites?
Or will the monarch perish–shattered
–her reign dwindling away deplorably?

And then– with each bruise and scar,
My amulet blazes– it's my own courage–
Which radiates–and penetrates my soul
–I once again–with broken old weapons
–Stitch fragments of my iron heart

/With a warcry– the lady knight's voice doth capture the skies,
The war she won– the diadem of her faith; on her
pate–still lies/

Guerrière

With fire simmering in my eyes
I sway away mightily–
The rain pours; the sand blows,
I glance into the demon–

Hark–The cannons fire, it's time!
–Fireballs surge on my army,
Defeat calls me–I don't have much
might
Still–I will not abandon this fight...

UP-RISING
by Carolyn Glackin
From grand Valhalla
Watch me rise
On blood stained wings
In war torn skies
See my glory
Fanned by flames
From fires you lit
To burn my name
Caustic words
Assailed my soul
Complete demise
Your vile goal
How well you tried
How well you failed
For as you see
My soul prevailed!
In triumph
I live on today
As you look on
In shocked dismay
Your sad attempts
Can't bring me down
In your own karma
You soon shall drown!
So try your best
With might, in vain
Inflict me with
Such loathsome pain
A soldier's born
This day, 'tis true
My warrior soul
You never knew
For though the phoenix
Often dies
Forevermore, we too shall rise!

I want a place in heaven,
Dreams coming true as I have woven.
Life is hard, I know that too,
Coming forth, I need to face without much ado.

But is it wrong to ask for a paradise?
The mind diverts and I know it is not wise.
Still, I am ready to face the hurdles as they come by ,
The sun is the limit, but I will shine high.

They say "You come alone, you go alone",
'Focused', 'determined' are the only seeds that I have sown.
But I reach a state when I am all too helpless,
The need for affection combined with my selflessness.

The perfect person that I want to become,
'Powerful', 'dignified' should be the words for my outcome.
I over think, maybe I am broken.
But I vow to never let it become my token.

I am ready to face the hurdles as they come by,
The sun is the limit, but I will shine high.

Battle

His results had just come out
Tension in the atmosphere was rising
The television popped up his name
Family was wailing, thinking of it as shame

He hid himself, shocked with glee
Little sister was dancing free
He was in merit list, no one thought
A miracle was suddenly at doorstep brought

Family gained calmness, understood the message
The son had an achievement under his name
Sweets were brought, a bite grabbed by him
Ran out his steps to celebrate with friends

Unable to control excitement, he ran on the road
Not being alert about traffic, helter-skelter were his steps
The son had to talk to his bestie, hurried steps on the road
Hit by a truck, he fell on the spot; eyes damaged to the core

Ambulance was called, family informed
Operation took hours; happiness turned to doom
The son had lost his sight but not hope
He was thinking of alternative career with a wide scope

His voice was good, videos were now a target
Daily practice resumed once back home under medication
The soulful voice soon got a recognition
The son's songs went viral, he became a celebrity

Fame touched his name, he was sought by producers
An event in life altered his track; did not take it negative to be sacked
Fought all odds to become a role model for many
Personal empowerment via inner strength are valiant swords for any battle

��THIS CHALLENGE IS CLOSED��

*PERSONAL EMPOWERMENT CHALLENGE*

"Say it With Strength" Saturday.

Every so often throughout life, we're attacked by assailants, victimized by vigilantes, and harassed by haters. It's in those exact moments that our inner warrior rises up valiantly, bravely makes its presence known, and firmly declares and establishes exactly who we are in the form of a battle cry, a mission statement, or a personal anthem; much like the one I've included here, penned by the English poet William Ernest Henley in 1875.
So for the purposes of today's challenge, I want you to do exactly that. Imagine a time when you were under attack, let your inner warrior rise up, and write a poetic battle cry (of 40 lines or less), that tells this world not only who you are, but also that you refuse to be thwarted or defeated.
Please follow all the instructions completely, and see the do's and don'ts below.

DO's and DON'Ts
-Do read the Invictus poem to get an idea of what a battle cry is.
-Do write your poem in English.
-Do submit within 24 hours.
-Do enter one submission only.
-Do not plagiarize.
-Do not use hate speech.
-Do not use foul language.
-Do not use nude/obscene images.
-Do not write about political topics.

DURATION: The challenge runs for 24 hours from the time of posting. It's officially closed when it says "1d" in the upper right corner of this post.

REQUIRED HASHTAG: Be sure to use #cees_anthem_chall in your caption area.

*Please support your fellow participants by reading and commenting on their submissions, as well as reposting, to increase visibility.

Happy writing! ��✍

This is my submission to a closed challenge on my other account; in which members were asked to write a true story about any personal encounter(s) with the supernatural, in a poetic manner. Thank you for reading.

MYSTICAL MOMENTS
by Carolyn Glackin
I could tell you a tale
Borne of terror and dread
'Bout the demons that plagued me
Each night, in my bed
Couldn't see them, nor hear them
But I surely could feel
Their malevolent presence
Thus I knew they were real
For nearly two decades
They would show up each night
To torture and taunt me
So I'd turn from the Light
They'd press all around me
And instill me with fear
Sleep and dreams were no respite
They often hounded me there
I could tell you that tale
But it's hardly worth telling
See, they're no longer present
Anywhere that I'm dwelling
I finally learned that my fear
Was what gave them their power
And oh how they'd revel
All the more, when I'd cower
I began to ignore them
And it seemed I was right
When their tricks didn't work
They soon gave up the fight
What a blessed relief
To lay down in my bed
Without menacing demons
Trying to mess with my head!
So, although that tale's over
Every word of it true
Sit tight for a moment
I've more telling to do
And now I shall spin you
A most mystical write
'Tis a whimsical tale
That'll charm and delight
I'll speak of the angels
In whom I confide
And I'll mention the fairies
With whom I reside
I'll tell you of merfolk
Way down in the deep
And of wise, ancient dragons
Who snore when they sleep
I'll sing of the starseeds
Whom we knew before birth
And their beautiful mission
To assist us on Earth
Oh the tales I could tell
Of what roams through our house
A spirit lion named Nero
He's as quiet as a mouse
There's the sprites in the water
And the sylphs in the air
There's the essence of life
That I see everywhere
There are gnomes in this home
And a gargoyle or two
And it's starting to sound like
My own mystical zoo!
The ancient ones visit
Quite oft, while we're dreaming
They stay all through the night
While the full moon is beaming
There are guides and protectors
Not in body, in spirit
Oh there's so much to tell
Maybe one day you'll hear it
But for now, please excuse me
Time to start a new day
The spirit cats just arrived
And they're waiting to play.

lovenotes_from_carolyn @zikra_ As far as heritage, I'm Irish and German, but I haven't ever been to Ireland or Germany. Perhaps someday.

PASSIONATE DREAMS

Under the carpet of blue sky
and the white fluffy clouds,
I found my dream place.
Gazing above and lying
down on the flowery bed,
my day-dreaming begins.
The beauty of the nature
fulfilling my solitude.
I am up the stairways of
passionate imagination.
Now, lost into the dreamland.
Can I walk through it?
Can I feel the charm?
Can I catch the dreams?
Can I really conquer it?
Oh it's actually a pure
fantasy World!
