neither free verses nor any rhymes should i put into places
to seem endearingly fit for ascertaining whether my soul has decided to abandon me.
whatever it is that it wants,
i find myself more and more suppressive under its haughty countenance-
as if it were to adjudicate and pass a verdict of its own.
so now, i can no longer feel in flesh and blood.
my existence lies with the storms, rains, in the woods, and whatever else that is blissful and destructive.
it must be very counterintuitive, isn't it?
-i have several mirrors behind my face and yet they're not all the same.
some are laughing, some are precariously murderous,
some are voyaging, some are on the verge of collapsing.
certainly, they're not all the same, yet all of them are nothing but apparitions from the deepest corners of my abysmal paradox.
i am incapable of deserting them so holding onto them, i run wild in the sunshine and incinerate with them.
i don't detest myself in presumptive numbers for being a majority of these mirrors, which are now languid shards,
but in an exalted passion of a thousand thoughts.
-to love myself, i have to love the hurricanes and snowflakes and the wild wind embracing my soul, the evaluator of a shagrin mind.
although i am one body one soul,
i'm pertinaciously scattered like pollens in the wild wind which can never be secluded.

from farcical affections to despairing desire
i burned bits of myself in the blazing fire
if oblivion were to cast itself in my little world
i'd prefer turning to ashes from my heart's dire
the ghosts who deride at my sweet blasphemy
their lurking eyes never reflected any empathy
if oblivion were to cast itself in my little world
i'd prefer some madness prior to my final sanity
what is love, if not a delirium crafted like art?
like sky and sea seem as one yet so far apart
if oblivion were to cast itself in my little world
i'd prefer to be a prudent hoax before i depart
all of my skin delineated many abysmal dreams
it personified a lost soul as ancient as it seems
so if oblivion were to cast itself in my little world
i'd prefer to combust hysterically betwixt the seams

withered roses were the last thing i recall
you kept me a little longer in your embrace
between the pages i was a lost vagabond
while you held me firmly in your grace
this love was beautiful but only a dream
our hands were locked and souls intertwined
you turned my nightmares into such a bliss
so take my hand dear, yet again spoil my mind
am i blossoming into a sunflower garden?
or it's a tomb where my soul is in slumber?
i cannot collect my pieces in all this mayhem
when the fiercest heart is now torn asunder
though i'm nothing but a grieving mess
as i yearn for warmth in this hope so blind
will you call my name and ease my chaos?
take my hand dear, yet again spoil my mind

the subsiding storms whispered a name
while i trod back to my safe place
i turned around in ungauged despair
and saw the destruction left no trace
i am blurred out of visions thinking,
why are somethings so beautiful that burn?
i am struggling to find your heart in the way
like a moth, to your light, i'll always return
the storms actually don't destroy me
i've lived a life without any sunshine
i'm neither cold nor warm anymore
i'm the tears that you mix in your wine
honey, all this while i've been contemplating
whether to rest in the soil or fly to the stars
for i haven't been the one to love you right
so just let me burn with the ashes of your cigar

from a brokenhearted who turned into an empath
if you're reading this, you're awesome ❤️
#writersnetwork #mirakeedear someone,
i know what keeps you awake at night. i know what makes you listen to those five songs on loop. i also know what troubles you from doing something for yourself. because i am pushing away my plate of food, just like you. i am avoiding interactions that'll put me into fits of anxiety, just like you. and i'm hearing my little playlist on loop, just like you. so tell me how am i any different from you? it isn't about harkening those songs. it isn't about starving yourself for days. trust me on this- these things won't liberate you from the abyss you're falling into. i've tried it and it didn't work. better late than never, however, i've realized it. i know what you need the most because i've particularly yearned for it when i was falling apart. it was empathy. and even though i've hardly received any of it, i just know how important it is for us living creatures.
so here i am shouting out to you, i am no different from you. i am not an exception and nobody is. we've all drowned deep at some point in time. unless you suffocate and gasp for breath, you wouldn't know the importance of the urge to survive. it's okay to swim up to the surface with scars on your skin. don't ever be shameful for that. those are the ultimate proofs of your struggle. i think of my scars in this way so it doesn't hurt anymore and i'm not ashamed of them. i hope one day even you'll feel the same. i hope one day you'll be the one saying these things to the ones who are drowning. i hope one day, we'll become empaths for each other, no matter how far or near. i've come to realize the power of empathy so far so strongly that it can impede the worst. so just let time run its own accord and you keep standing your ground. time isn't always the same.
with love,
an empath

i realized my heart was plagued with grief
and eternal yearning together at once
i fought my battles fairly against shadows
with struggling smiles and guns
i felt how my soul got exposed from resisting
all the love that traced my course
and my fortified heart was in jeopardy
for it became a consequence of remorse
i was christened by the title of my last poetry
i reckon to have left my spirit there
i'm fighting somewhere among folklores
that never narrated the tales of my despair
i'm balancing on this fragile noose of joy
where my countenance seems to freefall
and yet all that is keeping me lucid
is to battle the grievest shadow of them all

" i have been wandering about past memory lanes where i didn't care about how endings would be. i have been conceited about a notion of love that would set me free because liberation is what it's made of, isn't it? at first it seemed like the smooth waves that passionately kissed my bleeding feet as i walked along the coastline. what i didn't see coming was that despite it, tornadoes can recur equal damage to all that is peaceful and beautiful. and so 'love' and 'melancholy' are two drops in the same sea. now it's easy for me to sense the disposition of my heart. i know it's the waves of love when i feel liberated. and i know it's melancholy when i feel tornadoes rising in my heart. nevertheless, what terrifies me the most is that even before i realise it anytime soon, love and melancholy will merge into one large ocean and wash me away from the coast. and i'll never know the mystery of whether i'm drowning in love or i'm drowning in melancholy."

HIRAETH- "a deep, inborn sense of yearning for a home, a feeling, a place or person that is beyond this plane of existence"
i found myself on the highest cliff i'd ever seen
there were two trees and a swing in between
back and forth was the pattern all the time
beyond the mountain peaks i could see the sunshine
out loud to the valleys below i called your name
the leaves rustled and mocked, said "you're insane"
they've lived here for centuries, they must know
lost ones are forgotten just as quickly after snow
and yet this world feels like a puzzle void to me
betwixt smiles and sorrows i would find thee
so i spread my tattered wings and flew away
hopelessly to the next high cliff before i decay
i bellowed so hard, the leaves rustled in despair
i swung so high, my wings hanging behind all bare
the sun is setting now, the mountains turn dark afar
i'll find you in this hiraeth, no matter how lost you are

things we never imagined, or ever wished for, always make surprise entries in our lives. things, good or bad. things that are least desired. and i think that's universe's way of making us acceptable to the unwanted. what do we usually do with an inevitable situation? obviously, we make our peace with it. we contemplate, we curse, we cry. we even wish selfishly, driven by escalating emotions, don't we? however, in the end, we accept. we accept the unwanted and the inevitable. and what do we do after that? we move on. we should keep asking ourselves- can i really afford to ponder on the bad things that happened? we have our whole lives in front of us and yet we are blind. we can build our way into the future and yet we don't know where to start. well, we can at least start with self-analyzation because trust me, looking deep inside your heart and mind is the best place to start.

Plato said- "At the touch of love, everyone becomes a poet"
#mirakee #writersnetworki loved you despite
all my heart's grief,
but all you did was
stroll over them
until they were scattered
like dead autumn leaves...

Dear withered rose in my mutilated journal,
You have been with me in your most lovable state, you must be wondering if you are still lovable or not.
I wanna answer you, my every connection with human beings is like I loved them when they were in their most lovable state.
I still love them just that the connections have withered not they.
So it's okay if you attract skepticism I am not a stagnant person but I am not even a miscreant to forget you.
I have the utmost care for you, you won't believe it because now I bearly look at you
How should I explain, you need delicate hands And I have nothing but the roughness to give you.
I am reckless you know, don't wanna drop you on the floor.
I will keep you until I keep my last breath
That's my promise don't be afraid.
In my mutilated journal my withered rose,
Somedays I will be gone take care of yourself.

I haven't stopped loving, but I respect you questioning my love.

I have questions to ask and no one to answer
Trapped in the woods
Between stomped sunflowers.
A knife in my back pocket
And love for an hour,
I will lose my mind
And Stitch my wounds
To look like a fairytale
And the lavender that bloomed.
Wandering under the sun
Outrunning the dark
One wish I want to live young
Transitioning my broken heart.

At this point in my life, I won't think back and forth to state that I have grown into a paradox, grown to create a paradox, and get entangled in it and fall and get hit on my head and forget how I actually ever lived, and start over, But never mind.
Never over thought when all the lies were served as truth
But thought over and over on why its truth if it is.
When loving someone become hard for me I chose to numb my emotions, I do it all the time.
Things go hard I go numb, it's easy when you don't feel anything. You can let go and forgive and forget and blah blah easily right?
Never over thought why it was easy for me to buy a cigarette then lunch for myself?
But thought over and over on why I do it if I do it?
When it comes to hating someone it doesn't last more than 30 seconds, and then I keep hating myself for it.
I regret my life so much but more than that I am grateful for it, a coward like me doesn't deserve it who prefers to live in a paradox than an axiom.

And then I keep asking myself, why I am running in circles?

Oddquain butterflies - a “merged mirror oddquain” where the two stanzas of a mirror oddquain are merged together, one of the middle 1 syllable lines is dropped, resulting in one nine line stanza of the form 1-3-5-7-1-7-5-3-1. Please note that a oddquain butterfly is not a “oddquain” because it doesn’t have five lines, but it is “butterfly” made up of two oddquains that were merged together into one poem.

Soulmates (/Star-Crossed)
shades of sky are mourning
silently for lovers;
some subtle and sharp hues
simultaneously,
sacrificing like the
sailor to the strong sea;
sanguine sun to the sky
sorry can mend unless
silence comes in between
splitting letters into
shards, unfixable— brings
splintering anguish that
sunders the world of two
souls split by forced silence
smiles seep from his crow feet
shining, dew drops of dawn
sabotaging chaos
sweetening bitterness
shown by life; beside me,
standing as my shadow,
sunshine of my dark clouds
sometimes failures slows down
speed and space betwixt our
summit of sailing dreams;
said Kalam, 'the will to
succeed should be enough
strong, to not let failure
succumb' you to lose hope
she rises with rays of
shimmering glow of springs
sprinkling seven flowers
stolen from moon and winds
slivering into braids;
song birds bring death letters
signed by fate and sunsets
satire chokes in his words
speechless as they couldn't be
selfish for him at times;
surely they could have saved
soul of his that stood on
shore of sadness, swept some
secrets, ever away
squirrel, you seem at times
searching for some packets,
small, filled with love and care
sauntering, craving touch,
someone who could give you
safe home, away from hurt,
selfish people, sad blues.

@/a_wildflower I'm sorry. It won't happen again. Ever. Pinky promise.
@poeticgirl you're the person with whom I share the most similarities, S.

/Seventeen things I am,
swinging through loops of time
secrecy and silence
songs, sunsets, sun, selfish
silhouette of weakness
shame and disgrace, words, tongue
speaking thunders and shots/

Note: Kalam refers to Avul Pakir Jainulabdeen Abdul Kalam.You'll be loved, forever
smiling and blithe with you,
in safe haven of yours,
daring to be good and
dauntless, trying my best,
happy us blooms our lives
and love, that emerges
radiating sanguine
tender tendrils climbing
home, supine as we lie. -
Even when I had thousand reasons
to stop you, I chose the one
which asked to leave you.

Last night I visited your tombstone, my arcane latibule, with a nosegay of white lilacs. The same white lilacs you made garlands for me with your gentle tips. And embellished my cranium, just like a king surmounts his princess with a crown. But yesterday, the tree we sowed, the last token of your love, was lacerated along with our reminiscences. They dwindled and faded, just like your presence. They tried to outdo our velleities. Teardrops toppled from my eyes and dewdrops from the flowers, forging piquant tarns. Your orenda was a miracle for my cordolium. However, without you my sins and vices are turning wise inchmeal. They are trying to gulp this Minerva. But you can't sell dreams to someone who has walked through nightmares. So, at last, I just look upto the stars, shut my eyes and wish for your soul to live blithely in the the Elysian Fields.

People with privileges can never understand tragedies. To them, suffering is plastered with "It's going to be fine" and sorrows are "love yourself". They project a "i'm so proud of you" on the face of your adversity and very easily say "don't pay heed" to your agonies.
