Poem request by London: She gave the first line.
What happened to the good times?
The sun once shone so bright,
Its golden rays a gentle rhyme
That chased away the night.
The flowers bloomed in brilliant hues,
Their petals soft and kind,
And every breeze that gently blew
Brought fragrant peace of mind.
The world was full of wondrous things,
Like birds that sang with glee,
And laughter, like a pair of wings,
Set our hearts and sprites free.
But now it seems the world has
changed,
The sun obscured by clouds,
The flowers wilted and deranged,
Their beauty lost in shrouds.
The birds no longer sing their songs,
Their melodies now hushed,
And laughter, once a source of
throngs,
Has turned to tears, so crushed.
Yet even in this darkest hour,
A glimmer still remains,
A memory of what once was dour,
And hope that it sustains.
For though the world may seem to
fade,
Its beauty still endures,
and light of love, we'll wade
Through times that feel unsure.
Personal Growth
Bridge Between Heart and Mind
quote: “Thoughts are the shadows of our feelings — always darker, emptier and simpler.” Friedrich Nietzsche
Feelings that stir and emotions that flow,
A never-ending stream that ebbs and grows,
The deepest parts of who we are,
A complex web of light and dark.
And yet, when we try to put them into words,
The shadows of our thoughts often go unheard,
For they are always darker, emptier, and simpler,
Than the feelings that they try to deliver.
The pain we feel when our hearts are broken,
The joy that comes when love is spoken,
These feelings are too vast to be expressed,
In mere words, they can never be fully addressed.
Thoughts, like shadows, can never convey,
The full spectrum of emotions that come our way,
But they are a bridge between heart and mind,
Helping us to understand and to unwind.
So, let the shadows of our thoughts be a guide,
As we navigate the depths of our heart inside,
For even though they may be darker, emptier, and simpler,
They can help us find the light in the midst of the thunder.
Celestial Romance
The poem request from Jessica wants this quote “Isn’t it beautiful? The moon glowing using sun’s light and never ask for anything in return.” to describe their feelings for each other.
Two souls entwined, a bond so bright,
Like the moon glowing in the night,
Reflecting the light of the sun’s embrace,
Their love radiates with unyielding grace.
Like the moon, they shine with ease,
Without the need for anything to appease,
In each other’s company, they find solace,
A perfect union, without any malice.
Their love is like a cosmic dance,
A beautiful display of romance,
A celestial rhythm that’s pure and true,
Guided by the stars and the moon’s hue.
With each passing day, their love grows strong,
A timeless love that will last lifelong,
Just like the moon, they shine bright,
A wondrous sight, in each other’s light.
Awakened by Love
In the stillness of the night,
As the world falls fast asleep,
My mind wanders to the sight,
Of you, my love, so real and deep.
For in your embrace, I feel whole,
A completeness that words can’t express,
And as I lay there, heart and soul,
My dreams fade to your tenderness.
You are the sunshine in my day,
The stars that light up my sky,
And in your presence, come what may,
I know my heart will never lie.
So as I lay awake tonight,
Unable to let sleep take hold,
I know it’s because I’ve found the light,
And in your love, I am bold.
For reality is better than my dreams,
With you by my side, my heart beams.
The Beauty of Selflessness
Created: March 25, 2023
Quote: “I always thought, I might be bad. Now I’m sure that it’s true. Cuz I think you’re so good and I’m nothing Like you.”
I always thought, I might be bad,
A darkness lurking, making me sad,
A gnawing feeling, deep inside,
A constant battle, I cannot hide.
Now I’m sure that it’s true,
For when I see the likes of you,
I’m struck with awe, so pure and bright,
A shining star, in darkest night.
You speak with kindness, without fear,
A beacon of hope, so bright and clear,
A selflessness, I can’t conceive,
A noble heart, that will not leave.
And yet, here I am, in my own skin,
A tarnished soul, that can’t begin,
To match the goodness, that you exude,
A stark contrast, I can’t conclude.
For I am nothing, like you,
No shining star, so pure and true,
Just a mere mortal, with faults and flaws,
And though it hurts, it’s just because.
I see in you, all that I lack,
A shining light, I can’t attract,
But still, I hope to learn from you,
And maybe, one day, be something too.
Living in Isolation: The Heart’s Secrets
Quote: “My toxic trait is I don’t speak up, I notice, I feel, I distant, I stop caring. Is what I wish I was capable of doing again”
My toxic trait, I know it well,
It’s one I’ve held since time can tell,
To keep my thoughts and feelings close,
And keep myself from getting close.
I used to speak up, let it out,
But found it only caused more doubt,
And so I learned to keep it in,
And keep my heart from feeling thin.
I notice things, but hold them back,
To keep myself from going off track,
And if it seems like I don’t care,
It’s only my defense I bear.
I keep myself at arm’s length now,
A safety net I can allow,
To keep my heart from being hurt,
And stay in solitude, inert.
So though it may be toxic, true,
I wish to stay this way anew,
And keep myself from being hurt,
By keeping others from my turf.
For in this way, I feel I’m safe,
And can survive this life, this race,
And though it may not seem like much,
It keeps me from the world’s cold touch.
Love-Hate Notice
Quote: "You can't cut me out the frame sadly, You're gonna notice me either way cause you love and hate me at the same time"
You can’t cut me out the frame,
darling,
My personality is too damn charming,
You love and hate me, it’s all the same,
But my unique essence will always
remain.
I’m not a pretty face, you see,
It’s my personality that makes me
unique,
You can’t cut me out the frame, sadly,
Cause my personality is what you
want, badly.
I’m witty, sarcastic, and oh so fun,
A personality like mine, can’t be
undone,
You’ll notice me, that’s a fact,
Cause my personality is the real
impact.
So let’s not focus on my looks, my
friend,
It’s my personality that you can’t
defend,
You love and hate me, that’s okay,
Cause my personality is here to stay
The End of Us (Poem)
The words flew fast like bullets shot,
A battle waged, a love distraught.
Isheal and Tituba, in heated debate,
The end of their relationship, sealed by fate.
Isheal was shocked, to hear “okay”,
Tituba’s acceptance, of the end of their way.
He wanted a fight, to see her care,
But Tituba was done, beyond repair.
“You’re throwing it all away,” he cried,
But Tituba knew the truth, she didn’t hide.
“You wanted to break up, not me,
Why should I beg, on bended knee?”
Isheal wanted her to change his mind,
To make him believe, in love that’s blind.
But Tituba knew, it wasn’t her role,
To fix what was broken, to make him whole.
Desperate pleas, fell on deaf ears,
Tituba was done, had no more tears.
“Why do you want to end this love we made?”
Isheal stammered, his words delayed.
Tituba knew the truth, she saw the signs,
Isheal was testing her, playing with minds.
“This relationship was never meant to be,
Don’t contact me again, I’ve set myself free.”
And with that, Tituba walked away,
Leaving Isheal alone, with nothing to say.
Their love was over, a thing of the past,
A story ended, one that couldn’t last.
End Of Us (Convo/Story)
Isheal: We should break up
Tituba: Okay.
Isheal: Okay?
Tituba: Yeah okay.
Isheal: Just like that?
Tituba: What do you want me to do?
Isheal: IDK, I JUST WASN’T EXPECTING “okay”.
Tituba: What, you want me to fucking beg for you to stay?
Isheal: No, it just seems like you’re throwing this all away.
Tituba: I’m throwing it all away? Are you okay? Did you hit your damn head somewhere?
Isheal: Yeah, it’s like you don’t even care…
Tituba: You’re the one who wanted to break up with me. How is this my fault my nigga.
Isheal: UR NOT EVEN WILLING TO FIGHT FOR US!!
Tituba: Fight for what?? There is no us it’s all you sweety. What you’re really looking for me is to fight with you and I’m not finna waste my time doing that.
Isheal: CHANGE MY MIND. MAKE ME BELIEVE IN US AGAIN!!
Tituba: You want me to do that? I think you are placing the responsibility on the wrong person here don’t you think.
Isheal: You decide if we should stay together.
Tituba: My brain is hurting listening to this insolent fuckery coming from your mouth. Babe you already decided and I’m just respecting your decision.
Isheal: I’ll take it back if you say so. Just say the WORD!!
Tituba: If I decided to stay with someone who wanted to break up I’d be crazy you know that right.
Isheal: can’t you just reassure me that we’ll be okay. I’ll forget.
Tituba: Desperate is not the word I can use to describe how you acting right now.
Isheal: I’m not desperate or whatever else you can think to call me.
Tituba: Curious about why you want to end our relationship. Speak fast before I stop caring.
Isheal: It just felt like you (Tituba cuts her off)
Tituba: Like I didn’t care about you? You make me fucking laugh you know that.
Isheal: Laugh? I just feel that I can never get close to you. You keep pushing me away.
Tituba: You trying to rush this relationship. You may be ready to skip some steps but it doesn’t mean I am ready to do that.
Isheal: See? You are (Tiuba cuts her off again)
Tituba: You never asked me. Stop jumping to conclusions about me not caring about you at all. I feel like you did this all just to see if I cared or not right?
Isheal: Now your jumping to (Gets cut off again)
Tituba: Yes or No?
Isheal: …
Tituba: I see. You know testing me instead of just communicating shows this relationship was never meant to work out. Don’t give me any excuses as well. I’m done listening to you so Ima just leave. Don’t think about contacting me either. I blocked you and deleted your number throughout this whole conversation.
Complex Web
The lyrics I portrayed in a song are from Introverted by Zotiyac. The lyrics are at the bottom.
I hope for the best, but don’t believe it
Trust is hard, and I’m not easily deceived
I keep my distance from others, no regrets
For I know the pain that comes from making bets
She trusted me once, but now I don’t know
The reasons why we drifted, why we let it go
Memories of our love, still fresh in my head
But the motives that changed, are still left unsaid
Long nights, arguments, and making up
Moments of passion, but never enough
I held her close, when she cried her tears
My shoulder wet, with the weight of her fears
She loved me, but I can’t believe
For my heart, remains hard to retrieve
Affectless, in the face of her affection
A shield I wear, to protect my reflection
Relationships, they come and go
Trust, love, regret, and woe
A complex web, that we all must weave
To find the balance, that we can all believe.
[Lyrics] "I don't believe it, but I hope the best I don't fuck with people, so I leave 'em without no regrеt She ain't have to trust me and shе did, but I don't know the rest Start off unconditional become a different motive next Long nights embedded in my head that I ain't gon' forget Argue 'til we fuck, you cancel work and now we overslept Member I would hold you when you cry, it got my shoulder wet She just wanna love me, don't believe her so it’s no affect"
