I thought I never experienced love,

The rush in your veins,

The racing of your heart,

Things that people call butterflies;

But the love I found was nothing like that,

He was like a fine wine getting better with age,

While I was like a bird rotting in its cage.

He was full of calmness inside,

While I was like a turbulent storm;

Talking with him was all I needed to feel alright,

And his shoulder felt like home;

When he was with me I desired no more,

Because love is found in comfort;

Not in chaos.

you made me feel like every breath i take is a burden on my back

and i’m sorry that i couldn’t save every drop of the tears you shed from my eyes for present them to you in the most beautiful vase with the flowers i plucked from my own garden

and don’t ask me who i am now but for you i was the last snowdrop that sprouted from under the ground wet with raindrops in the rotten garden of in some godforsaken house’s backyard

this is how you made me feel

I have spent most of this afternoon, penning my new poem, The Serpent. In its completed form, I hope this poem conveys, to the reader, the important role that mindset plays in the overall devolopment of our own happiness. As English poet John Milton, wrote (he of Paradise Lost fame), "The mind is its own place, and, in itself, can make a Heaven of Hell, a Hell of Heaven." I hope you enjoy reading it Now, bed for me. This took all my gas lol ✨💜✨ #writingcommunity #sleekpoetry #writersaroundtheworld #antipoeticrevolution #cosmosofwriters #thepoeticbuds #thepoeticlounge #closerlivespoetry #thepoetic #poetcity #poetsandpoetry #writersrising #poemsandproses #poeticprose #globalpoetry #beautifulpoetry #beautyinwords #holmfirth #holmfirthwriters #communityofpoets #thepoeticcommunity #creativepoetry #spiritualpoetry #mypoetry #writersofinstagram #instawriters #instapoetry #instapoem (at Holmfirth) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSnMjO0qBbQ/?utm_medium=tumblr

Was it so easy to leave me behind?

Everything we built over time,

Now falling apart in front of my eyes.

It's not like I didn't see it coming;

I certainly saw the signs.

But I refused to believe,

That such fate could be mine.

How foolish could I be,

To have ignored this for so long?

I thought you loved me,

But I clearly was wrong.

With each falling brick,

You were slipping away.

Why did I have to meet you,

If you were never going to stay?

Me and you,

A story incomplete,

A secret half told,

Half yet to unveil.

Known faces yet strangers to one another,

A tragedy where the leads never find each other;

Call this chance or call it fate,

Because such was our story,

That even luck couldn't change.

Acquaintances who were meant to be lovers,

Ending up being just a name to each other;

But deep in my heart,

Your name will remain engraved,

Because such was our love,

That even fate couldn't erase.

Home is a feeling,

A feeling I miss often,

Because the place I love the most,

Is now visited only on some occasions.

I now envy people,

Who get to see their loved ones each day,

While here I have to console myself saying,

"Just a few more days".

But the pain becomes unbearable,

When I realise I'll never be home the same way,

Cause each visit has an end;

A return ticket already booked,

Things that remind me of so called adulthood.

To be pretty is a curse,

Do they love me for me,

Or for the looks I adorn?

They call me pretty,

And adore my smile,

But what about my imperfections;

My crooked teeth inside.

Mesmerized by appearance,

They come in swarms,

They admire the beauty,

But that's all about me they know of.

They see the surface,

And think it is enough,

But sooner or later,

When the gold layer wears off,

They realise,

I am not the one they want;

"Appearances often deceive" they say,

And it's true,

But love isn't short lived,

Residing in fleeting glances,

It's in memories of a lifetime,

And late night dances.

Therefore it is important to know,

That beauty attracts,

What only love can keep,

Because when it comes to feelings,

Love is undoubtedly supreme.

I treasure every flower,

Every petal or leaf that I ever receive;

For they hold love,

That was once held in our hearts;

Because in them love remains,

Even after we fall apart.

People say I am insensitive,

They claim I don't feel,

When I see people walking away,

And decide to just watch them leave,

Little do they know,

I have had to let people go,

Time after time,

I have seen people walk out of that door,

Most in my life never chose to stay,

As if it costed something,

A price they could never pay.

They left me wondering,

If it is supposed to be this way.

But there was a time when I did grief,

For each exit that was made,

Just to realise,

That when people didn't stay,

It was mere fate,

That most people are chapters not meant to last,

So I learnt to embrace every connection I found,

Because end is inevitable,

Whether they decide to go or stay,

And treasure each bond until it fades away.

We have taken different roads,

But my love for you still continues to grow;

I know that you'll never be mine,

But I still think of you sometimes,

And I still dream of you at night.

I am a little too much, I know,

But it's the only way to love I know;

Tell me if I should not.

The reality keeps us apart, I know,

But I am dreamy enough to makeup a story,

A story that exists nowhere but in my mind;

A story where you finally are mine.

Saumya Thapliyal

[shareapoetry]

They see me as a soft girl,

The one with joy in her eyes,

And they think to end up this happy,

Troubles must have been out of my sight,

But this is not true,

Because like everyone,

I have had my share of blues,

And the reason I now smile so bright,

Is because I have paid it's price;

I have known sadness,

Just like the rest of you,

But I choose to look past that;

I don't carry that burden on my back,

I left it just where I found it,

And that's what sets us apart.

I have grown with tears and pain,

While walking through the life's hurricane,

So, let them see me as they do,

As a soft girl with sparkle in her eyes,

Because there lives a warrior inside.

They say girls lie,

And yeah we do,

For strangers approach,

With intentions unknown;

They yearn to know,

Things I am not keen to tell,

But saying no straight away,

In most cases doesn't go well;

Because I have been here before,

Time and time again;

They don't leave,

Till they are answered,

But I know the consequences;

With every detail I provide,

Danger is a step closer,

And I know people can be both;

Good or bad,

But to be wrong once,

Isn't a risk worth taking;

So I learnt to lie,

About my name,

My home,

And where I come from;

Holding back the truth,

In an attempt to stay safe;

To not let then know,

Even the tiniest of details,

Because that's what it means to be a girl,

To guard our secrets before it's too late.

What home feels like

No matter how long you have been gone, the moment you come back it feels as if you never left.

It's not that nothing changes; many things do. You discover the neighbour has a new dog who never fails to disturb your sleep at midnight. You see the hall has a new clock, the designated place for achar has changed(apparently because it was suddenly declared prone to falling) an old cupboard has been moved out. Some rooms have been painted a different colour. But despite all these changes it doesn't feel different.

Perhaps these changes aren't enough for home to become unfamiliar... I guess that's why it's called home.

[shareapoetry]

I have longed to love,

For as long as I can remember,

To hold someone's hand in the cold of December,

And feel so lucky that you can't help but wonder.

I wish to meet a soul,

That feels like my own;

To have the kind of love,

That doesn't fade away with time;

But what never seems to come to my sight is,

Someone who's willing to be mine.
