Read MoreMy first home, her womb
My first bond in the whole world
An invisible umbilical cord
Still connecting us
Feeding my thirsty mind
with love and care
Her caressing is a medicine
For my bleeding soul
Her lap is a magical pillow
Vanishing the wraith of woes
Her prayer is a warrior
Who remove my barriers
Even blaming is a blessing
When it's filled with wariness
She is a candle of sacrifice
Burning to fill the light in my life
Her happiness is my destination
Her tears were my daunting fear
I'm still writing about her in my heart
She is an unending poem of love

Thank you so much for the EC��and like❤️@miraquill
Thank you so much for the kind repost ��@writersnetwork.
Time shed the leaves to the
Muddy bottom of past
I collected the undecayed leaves and
wrote poems on the yellow memories.

The storm and thunder
Stirring inside your heart
Collected in the cauldron of your mind
To prepare a magical brew of poem
Served in the chalice of pen
to feed the infinite paper of blankness.
You are the cosmic witch
waving spells with the
Phases of moon In your mind.
Crushing the petals
of withered emotions
and the fragments of Futile fears
Filled inside the spell jar of heart
With the dried lavender of love.
You are the fraction of divine dust
Holding the fusion of feelings
Inside the complex piece of flesh
Clasping a universe at the core
Expanding and changing
At the brim of existence.
You are an atomic vessel
Filled with an eternal soul
Thoughts bouncing between
the walls of the fragile heart
and the meshy mind
where the Choices are
waiting at the middle.
Abandoned and Floating
On the ocean of life
Moving with the waves of fate
Controlled by the wind of time
to the shore of death.

To my emotional reflection
Set A-pen
Set B- The storm and thunder Stirring inside your heart

I am an abandoned building with
few birds visiting me after sunsets.
Sometimes kids enter
through the front door
to search for a lost cricket ball
and Other times they search
the broken pieces of toys
in the coloured boxes in my attic.
The clock is still counting the seconds
to crosscheck my life span.
Near to the ribcage staircase,
there is A large room painted
with crimson red and still
playing an old melody.
Arcane emotions and feelings
scrawling and doodling
poems and paintings on the walls.
Some crumbled sheets of confidence
muttering about the muted muse.
The folded blankets of memories
stacked over the corner of the room
to cover the soul in the shivering
Winters of loneliness.
The dusty curtains of trauma
cobweb of regrets
a mirror of imperfections and
lanterns of dreams adorned the room.
At the centre,an ocean of love
is confined in a box of occult.
Cosmic clouds showering stars
to bloom the galaxy on the terrace.
Sunlight draping dangled flowers
on the cornea painted glasses
and rejoicing spring at sunsets.
My miseries warapped inside the
black sheets of nights
where the silver bowl of moon
pouring serenity through the windows.
Abandoned, but astonished
by this alluring solitude
to reverberate the inner voices of my soul
in the valleys of my muffled mind.

Some pieces
of jigsaw puzzle
Concealed by the
cryptic future
Some pilfered
by the past
With the succour of fate
Peering at the
pieces of choices
Matching the mosaics
with thoughts
Confused about
the connections
to complete the picture
in the puzzle of life

~ The lake of love ~
This lake reminds me of Veronica, her Blue Ocean Eyes And The Sparkle in them whenever she would sit by this lake. The tears forming eddies of agony in my heart, blurring my vision and creating a shadow of her smile in front of my eyes. The wind wiping my tears, caressing me by holding her sweet scent. The sound of Lake resembling her giggle. This place painted our presence in this air with an infinite palette of love. But she dissolved in this waves of time by borrowing My soul and replaced the space with her memories. Now I am dead with beating memories, inhaling moments and exhaling time. Vein carrying the blue and the heart scribbling poems. Mind is muted by the sewing of saudade and eyes screaming to a shade of red. The dried leaves murmuring memories to me when I visited the shades of trees ; they beheld our talks, fights and smiles.
This is my favourite place in this whole world. I can feel her presence near to me. And when I look at the reflection in this lake, she is there. Smiling, holding my hand and whispering "I love you, and I'll never leave you".

The last drop of hope
Dribbled from the vein
the poison of pain
Pervaded to each cells
Swelled to a secrecy
Swallowed by poesy

When the weather changes abruptly in the sky of my elusive mind.��
Smiling but struggling
I'm thirsty but already in a well
Quenching my thirst but knowing that
I'm going to die.
I'm a bird without legs
Continuously flying and tired.
Soaring with my thoughts
In the infinite sky
And diving with my emotions
In the deep sea
Muted, but I'm screaming
Numb, with beating feelings
Blank but filled
Oscillating to the extremes
By the force of feelings and fate.

A fair with full of colours
Reflected as happiness in my face.
The things i bought from the fair
Giggling at the cover.
A wand to vanish the scars and
wounds on my heart
A broomstick to escape
From this reality ride
A dairy to drink my wine of pain
A quill to kill the wraith of regrets.
I bought a bottle of ocean with
Endless waves of serenity,
Filled with Corals of happiness
and mermaids of memories.
I purchased the paint from sunset
to cover my walls with hues
And a slice of night sky
to fix at the top of my room.
I bought every needs and dreams
to shield the soul from suffering
I fell the feathers of trauma
with the sword of fantasy.
/An insanity infused
Infinite escapism
Blowed a bubble of fable
Around a muffled mind./

Food
I pray for the ones who had their lives turned upside down through no fault of their own
Ripped from their homes
Betrayed by their own flesh and blood
Eating a burrito as their meal for the day as that's all they can afford
I pray for the ones who cry themselves to sleep but their growling stomach is keeping them awake and there's little to consume
I pray for the ones who get so emotional about having just enough money for bread, milk, and eggs
Such staples in our lives
The price of living is so expensive

A MINIMALIST'S VALENTINE WISH LIST
by lovenotes_from_carolyn
Darling, I adore you
And I'm so glad that you are mine
In you, I've found true love
You're my forever valentine
And on this special day
To help avoid all stress and strife
I'm going to share with you some pointers
Penned down by me, your loving wife
I like to keep things simple
There's no need to make a fuss
So I'm putting forth these guidelines
So as to help the two of us
I'm not one to collect things
I really don't like clutter
Knickknacks don't delight me
They don't send my heart aflutter
Don't need no cards or chocolate
Nor any flowery perfume
But I'd really be quite thrilled
If you could make use of the broom
Instead of bright bouquets
That quickly wilt and fade
I'd appreciate far more
If for once, the bed you made
And instead of fancy trinkets
Or gem encrusted rings
It would really be quite grand
If you'd just pick up your things
By now it should be clear
But in case you're in a quandary
Let me break it down once more
Forget the gifts, just do some laundry!
Never mind the costly dinner
I'm not a fan of dining out
But you can whip up something here
That's what I'm talkin' 'bout!
You can forget about the shopping
I don't want something from the store
How about you do some dusting?
I'd like that a whole lot more!
So darling, take your pick
There's no end of things to do
Happy Valentine's, my love
Now let's start cleaning up this zoo!

SOJOURNS THROUGH THE FOREST
by lovenotes_from_carolyn
In quietude, we walked along
Hand in hand
Without a word spoken
As our silence spoke a language
All its own
Upon finding ourselves
In unfamiliar places
We embraced the unknown
Whilst gazing at the horizon
In eager anticipation
Of the bright new vistas ahead
In a nebulous nexus
Of verdant visages
Our hearts are one with the forest
A mellifluous milieu
Leads us to
A reverential reverence
Inspired by the bountiful beauty
That surrounds us
The sky of azure blue
Winks at us intermittently
Through the celestial solar rays
That dart about the wooded glade
Nature's artistry
Continues to adorn our eyes
As bright and cheery birdsong
Alights upon our ears
After bidding adieu
To a few ancient pines
We make our way out of the forest
Hand in hand, in our silence
That speaks so much
We retreat from the
Splendor of the woods
Oh but we'll soon be back
Often and again, we'll be back.

DESERT(ED) OASIS
by lovenotes_from_carolyn
The desert sun takes no prisoners
It is cruel, ruthless, and unrelenting
Brittle bones and parched hearts abound, and there is seemingly no curative in sight
Still, there is beauty here, stark and rugged
It'll surprise you and catch you off guard
Don't look for greenery, or signs of life
For there is little to none around
A mild winter lends to a harsh summer
Comprised of blazing temperatures
And an unforgiving barometer
Any northerner with a lick of sense would hastily take leave of this place, barren wasteland that it is
But somehow, I've come to love it
I thrive in the comforting consistency of the midday sun, followed by the lunar blessed eves
And I adore the odd shapes of the prickly cacti, or "desert shrapnel," as I'm prone to call them
Night arrives, bearing blessed relief from the heat of day
And this seemingly barren oasis is suddenly teeming with life
There are jackrabbits, roadrunners, coyotes, and reptiles of every kind
By day, they hide from the sun's glaring rays
Stealthy hunters they become, by night
There's a pervasive silence, here in the desert
Which quiescently coincides with an unheard primal scream
The rules are simple here: survive, or die trying
Many have succumbed to the latter
Here, we live under the threat that summer is coming... Always
The death knell tolls throughout the day, on any given hot, dry afternoon
Whilst a nearby Lark Sparrow belts out a doleful tune, temporarily breaking through the minutiae of the oppressive heat
She takes careful measures to avoid placing herself in the direct rays of the scorching sun
A solar inferno that regularly claims lives, but not prisoners; here, in the desert.

HELIOS AND SELENE
by lovenotes_from_carolyn
A divergent moon swept aglow
Acrost an endlessly seraphic sun
Star-crossed lovers were they
Whereupon, never the twain shall meet
Orbital, though they were
Yet correspondingly out of reach
They existed in a symposium of sussuration
For when the fated paramours crossed paths
There was nary a moment to speak
Bemusedly conflicted, both began to question and doubt their connection
Until the day came whence the duo reached a unanimous decision
Henceforth, in passing, they each would cast their respective light upon the other
The sun shone handsomely in the luminous lunar glow
And the moon took on a celestial beauty when bathed in the sun's solar rays
And so it was that Selene and Helios outwitted their cruel fate
By eternally shining their love upon one another
And as the source of the emission was that of their true heart
It turned out that not a single word need be spoken
Those who would dispute this can witness the loving exchange twice a day, like clockwork
Upon the coming of every dusk and each new dawn
And so, two hearts did intertwine
When despite their fate, they chose to shine.
©lovenotes_from_carolyn 2/26/2022
*In Greek mythology, the sun is depicted as a male named Helios; and the moon is portrayed as a female named Selene.

Look how frail this world has become
All I see around is
fear in eyes of people
fear of losing someone
fear of losing themselves
fear of losing the battle of life .
All I sense from people is
Pain , depression , regrets ,
fear and loneliness .
People are smiling on outside
But deep down everybody is hurt .
Their souls sing melancholy ,
And faces dressed up in smile
Eyes reflect pain
And their heart has become so fragile .
~ Janvi -
I am not a logophile , but the eutony often calms my mind and helps me to sleep. Perhaps words are the string of 'faith' that binds my heart with mysteriach poetries .
Poetry fascinates me. Sometimes he sobs with me like those 'frail' infants who cry when they see their mother crying and sometimes he encourages me to take the road that has never taken by anyone. Feelings born and die inside my heart . But he often takes those ashes to paint his words.
He accepts my flaws and strengths like mother earth who loves both spring and fall. He draws my smiles and soaks my tears . I roam on the streets of endearment and in the dark alleys of heartaches holding his hands.
We dance at the prom of art like those 18 year old highschooler. We share almost everything but we hide our stories. He is my abditory where i spend most of my time , but he doesn't know my name. I hide his love in the shell like a pearl in the ocean of my heart but the depth of his love is still unknown to me .
We are lovers yet strangers.

Love letter
You're like the breeze
through heavy shadows.
People are busy looking for treasure,
Love is like a letter delivered slowly,
But they mistake the blazing sun for it.
Your smile is like a ray of light,
That lights me up.
I often wonder,
If this is what love is.
The flowers are blooming slowly,
Love is a letter delivered slowly.
The more curious you get,
the less you hear back.
I know, the summer isn't over yet.
And in the dim serenity of the forest,
You're like the breeze
through heavy shadows.

Back Space
A little less extreme
Than delete.
I can't do delete today.
My mind's too
Jammed with
Run on sentences,
And my heart's
Too full of
Convoluted narratives.

So far away from Paradise
I leave this garden
with the departure of its spring
I leave behind my cloak
on the bush of thorns
that once had roses
and now has dust
earth beneath the bushes
the clay furrows
the f͟l͟o͟w͟e͟r͟ beds
departed blossoms don't leave footprints
nor does their fragrance linger
into desolation
somewhere it does not matter
that my spot was marked here
closed for an abandonment
the gate hangs on its hinges
that bench
beneath the Gulmohur tree
where I had waited
so many afternoons
so many rambling recitations
of the impertinent wind
somewhere in that garden
there is a stone
that reads 1943
Yes
it is so f͟a͟r͟ away
from our Paradise
as if Spring never had been
nor gardens lost
to our drought
