The Free Captive

My thoughts don’t let me think, The voices in my head although unheard leaves me scared and red. They seem to scream what it is I don’t get. Not for the promises of a lover unmet, Nor for the change of fake friends whose line never seems to come to an end. But for what is what I try to get, The strange words unspelt, I remain a free captive Captivated by my own initiative. I try to run but it’s all in vain Because you can’t run from your own brain. I think I’m free but then my thoughts come agai

Lullaby

Golden slumbers kiss your eyes, Smiles awake you when you rise; Sleep, pretty wantons, do not cry, And I will sing a lullaby, Rock them, rock them, lullaby …

Poem "Mother's Love"

A mother's love is like a rose, So beautiful and pure. It's a love that knows no bounds, And will always endure. A mother's sacrifice is great, She puts her children first. She works so hard to give them all, Her love and all her worth. She wakes up early in the morn, And stays up late at night. She never complains or fusses, Just does what feels right. A mother's love is unconditional, It never fades or dies. It's a love that will always be, A constant in our lives. So here's a poem to all the

The little mermaid fall in love at first sight, When she save the man and became his knight. The man returned to land, With Ariel's heart in his hand. The innocent little mermaid Left her humble abode. To chase the man she love, So that his heart, she can have. To the witch she consult Her voice in exchange of her legs are

ADRIFT

Amidst the shadows, I wander, adrift, A soul in search of a guiding rift. A compass lost in a world unknown, A heart seeking solace, a place to call home. The path before me, shrouded in haze, I stumble through life's intricate maze. Lost in the echoes of whispered fears, Yearning for a light to dry my tears. In the depths of uncertainty, I reside, A puzzle unfinished, a knot hard to untie. A ship on a sea of doubts untamed, Yearning for purpose, to be named. But even in this darkness, a glimmer

Forgiveness poem

I don't get it, I don't know how to say this, But I am sorry for what happened, I can't go back and change that all, but things were just a bit tight, I ask for your forgiveness and I beg you now, To forgive me now, and end this now.

There Should Be No Condition In Love

There shld be no conditions in love But your love is based on conditions Stars in your eyes that glittered for a while They have begun to extinguish the candles of love, When that image of yourself falls in your own esteem When your own darkness starts to surround you Then you will come to me, beloved This light is burning, it will always remain burning for you When someone breaks your heart When someone leaves you in suffering Then come to me, beloved My door is open, and will always remain ope

Reflection poem

The scariest thing I ever had To encounter Wasn't a ghost, or a big scary Monster It was a reflection I saw as I looked in the Mirror The moment I had to face All the dark parts I tried hard to erase Yet as I looked a bit closely At the eyes starring back at me I realized they were still there Untouched and unfazed Waiting for the day To be let out of their cage

Thank you

She was a Poem

028 She was a poem with rhymes and rhythm, someone whose secrets are hidden. Her faithful friend was her pen, an object who witnessed her veiled shenanigan. She was a poem that only a few can understand. Someone private and hard to comprehend. The papers are her companion at night, forming her thoughts as her pen took flight. She was an unfinished poem hiding traumas behind the pages. Unraveled emotions and tears are hidden inside her cages. Millions of thoughts keep her awake at night, shadows
