Graceful as a Swan

Soaring through the sky With elegance and poise Graceful as a swan Floating on the lake So delicate and light Graceful as a swan Dancing in the wind Soaring with the breeze Graceful as a swan Gently gliding through The beauty of the night Graceful as a swan

Torment

The tears we shed are not only that of pain. It might be of torment. The torment of not knowing the unknown. We are scared of things that are yet to come. Things that are yet to form. Some might hide, and some might run. But it will always come just for fun. It lurks in the shadows, driving you insane. It enjoys the torment, it thinks it's a game. It feeds off the pain. You can only pray. We all have that fear. Some call it anxiety, and some call pain.

Forever in Love

With every breath, my heart beats for you, Together forever, our love will always be true. As we walk hand in hand, under the stars above, I feel so blessed to have found my forever love. Your gentle touch, your warm embrace, Makes my heart race and my soul embrace. I promise to cherish you every day, In all of life's ups and downs, forever we'll stay. As we look into each other's eyes, We see pure love, with no disguise. Our love is a flame that will never fade, Even when life throws us in diff

True me

Many secrets to my world that no one understands You think you are my friend but don’t know my nightmares Don’t judge people by the smile on their face One might be going through pain but you would never know Until true friends ask “What's going on”

LAMENTATIONS OF A LIAR - Poems of Lamentations 001 -

021 Opening the box to unveil the truth; Searching for the right answer; Deciphering the lies and deception. But can you handle the crimson-colored fact? Lift the lid to see what's inside, But—be ready for you might get ruined. Now, open up your eyes to what you desire. Is the content to your liking? People hate lies and seek the truth, Without knowing that truth is more horrible than a lie. They abhorred the beautiful lies, But desire the painful truths. Ah really, what a bunch of fools. This i

Society's standards, By I. Fendler and T. du Plessis

Why do you judge me? Is it because I cover my face with paint, or because I hide my features with attire. I do so because I am ashamed, ashamed of what you'll think of me. Am I normal? You judge my weight , but you look just like me. You say I'm ugly , but your cheeks are covered with spots . I see nothing wrong with you, but why do you hurt me so? I try to fit i n, but all you do is push me away. Society's standards cut deep like razorblades. I thought I was normal, but why do you tell me diffe

Haiku poem - Nature

Beautiful nature In this most loveliest form forest laughed, with love! Plenty flowers bloom, While the sun passes through Forever, afternoon Since the wildflowers, Holds the sunlight, that shine, Through the scary night The Water whistle While the giraffe drunk away, Wow, satisfaction! What is more to say? Than, mother nature at work! Healing its earth.

TWENTY FIRST CENTURY

Sewn into these walls Are lullaby from a century ago Can you hear them? History is about to repeat itself Like it always has Sentiments and sentinel Sent on sabbaticals. No one gives a damn If the roof collapses As long as the house stands. We are all sentenced to death Hanging on gallows that we Happily built Happy that they broke Before we met our maker Here's to another chance at life Dancing, drunk on stupidity Piss for rum, tears for beer Cheers, we have earned it. Its a cozy world, cased i

"Peace and unity for India my country"

In India my land, where dreams arise, A nation's heart, a million eyes, Beneath the sky, so vast and wide, A tapestry of colors, side by side. From Himalayan peaks so grand, To sandy deserts, sun-kissed land, In unity, a strength untold, A tapestry of cultures, manifold.

Poem: In the times of sorrow

Amidst shadows cast by grief's embrace, A tear-stained symphony, a somber space. Heart's heavy burden, a weight to bear, In sorrow's depths, we find despair.

Love's Unrushed Flow

Love's Unrushed Flow So softly it comes and it goes, Like the gentle sway of a slow low-tide ebb, At its own steady pace, along its path it flows, Never rushing anywhere, but continually growing. It starts with an intensity of vibrant sparks, Like the first flashes of sunset light in the sky, Slowly blossoming from a tender flame of hope, That sustains and grows with a passionate fire that shall never die. Then out like a wave, it spreads forth and cascades, Reaching deep within our hearts and m
