Sometimes we believe not because of faith but because of fear.

Was it worth the try?
Digging my heart,
To find love I had for you,
I found myself
And the love for it
So was it worth it?
I said yes!
It was worth a try

My new year wish
My truth,
My soul
From the mirror
Comes out whole!

Cursed Universe
By: Alec M. Bates
Out of all the verses
In all of the universes
You stumbled upon mine
So hopefully it's worth your time
So here goes nothing
As my thoughts spread their wings:
He shall be condemned to be eternally lonely
This is the blasted curse
In which was bestowed upon me
From our unforgiving universe
Hence why I now write
To the forsake Queen of the Night.
So there's my hopeless verse
That I gave to the universe
To get me acquitted
Of the crimes I may have committed.

Altın çağa girdik bu gece. Nardugan Bayramımız ve altın çağa girişimiz hayır getirsin. Dünya aydınlansın. Huzur, barış ve sevgi hakim olsun. Kainatımıza ışık dolsun!

Wings
In my mind I might think
I have two wings to fly
instead of two legs to walk.
Neither changes the fact that
I have a beautiful mind!

Wings Fluttering
By: Alec M. Bates
Wings fluttering
Sun so warming
Damn, now I see
Why Icarus wanted to fly
Wings fluttering
Sun is warning
Damn!, Now I realize it's me
Who is falling- I'm going to die
Wings fluttering
Sun shining through
I awake from my slumber
To this dreary December

If I had wings..
Flying and soaring across millions of stars,
Floating and hugging millions of clouds,
Only if I had wings!
Only if i had wings, to define my aura,
Only if i had wings...

If I had wings my parents would have said bohot par nikal gye hain na tere beta aaj se teri sab masti band.

Water Falls
I wish that I could see the peaceful tranquility that must lie within you.
Sadly, I can't.
I can only see your end, over and over again.
As your waves crest over the ledge and die upon the rocks at the bottom.
Did it hurt?
The first time, I rather.
Because to see you fall again and again, do I rejoice?
That I have found life where you have found no peace.
That your sacrifice is what nourishes me.
No, this is no waterfall, no haven, no oasis.
This, this is the slow suicide of mother nature's favorite daughters.
The dramatic escapades of sprites made of water.
Enticing us as they dive in, roaring their woes into the mist we frolick in.
This, to some is peace, magical even.
And maybe it is.
Maybe our sisters have found their way into the arms of mother again.
So, I'll sit at the foot of their final resting place
Respectfully watching them return to the mother's embrace.
Sunrise to sunset, as long as it takes for this waterfall to find it's tranquil end.

Waterfall
Passing by the woods on a fine wintry day,
Came across a waterfall gracefully flowing on its way.
Those mellifluous sounds made by water gushing among the woods,
Mesmerized me making me forget about all my wordly goods...
Soft mist sprayed on my face as I stood at the bottom of the rocks,
Soothing and pacifying my weary mind.
Subtle breeze and chirping birds,
provoking me to get lost at the rendering beauty of the sight...

Hope...
Everytime the sun goes down..
it leaves me with moonlight..♡
My hope..keeps shining bright!
The stars whisper in my ears..
Supporting and wiping my tears..♡
They are surely so far..
By touches my heart at par!
Soon the lonely night fades away..
With the Sun making it's bright way..♡
my hope grows stronger each day!

You hurted me.
Yes,I will,
But why?
Because you are the only one for me

If I were a mermaid..
I would sit on the bottom of the dark ocean floor, reminiscing of our love. Peacefully and quietly to me and my thoughts. The water caressing my body. My hair floating around me like a halo. I stare up and see light, as if a finger is pointing at me. I close my eyes and smile. I cannot cry because the ocean won't allow me.. it's too full already. I am forced only to remember the happy days. I race the fish to the top. I'm in a hurry to reach that light pointing at me. I get to there and crawl towards the sand..only to shed a golden tear in remembrance of the man, I cannot have. The sun and land will allow this, but only for a short time then home I must go. The waves are waiting..wading for me.

All my life
All my life I've looked at words as rhyme of all life jingles
Luminous of my dark kingdom as those stars twinkle
Coated with concealed pain expressing all giggles
Washing down past taints like those fresh sprinkle
Pouring my inert sensation just like brook flows
Comforting my bleeding heart as the zephyr blows
Illustrating my life illusions all sweet and fray
Disclosing through eyes which lips fail to say
And Scribbled letters,the Swords of my all fights
All my life I've looked at words as my knight
©puranidiary -
From the diary of a Logophile...
.
All my life, I've looked at words as though they were my long-lost friends.
Friends with whom the soul connection survives the spells of time and tide.
Friends who understand me completely and whom I understand in return.
Friends with whom a lifetime of passionate romance would fall short if I even attempt to appreciate and acknowledge what they mean to me.
Yes, I love words and I'm lucky to think they love me back too.

fragment 5w
An entry I wrote for the current contest, "write a poem from the perspective of a tree". Perhaps in the future I will be able to participate in the contests, but for now the prompt alone proved an excellent use of my time.

Eager though I remained
Many days were often the same
Boldly attributing to my state
Many others remarked upon my fate
As facing a certain dutiful confinement
Stubbornly I refused to relate
Living in dull fluvial assignment
They do not see
How I excel
in being free
And me
I'm always watching
One, two, three
Falling leaves
Guaranteed
Is the joy of my simplicity
So truly difficult to believe?
Inviting the air as it weaves
In and about the knots of my knees
I thought that I would never receive
The end of my days
Witnessing the mortal reality
Of that first falling leaf
Momentary madness
Gripped my spirit
Much like sadness
Was this their attack on me?
A sound not unlike chopping
Greeted my feet
The swaying tendrils of my heart
Feared the sound and obeyed
Accepting defeat
Vastness and blackness is all that I can impart
As I awoke many days later
To find it was not death with which I had embarked
Too many colors to name
Graced my presence
Dissolving the grim disdain
That previously inhabited my existence
How long then, had I lived in vain?
A lonely lesson in persistence
Flurries of commotion ensued
Never losing their spark
Partaking with gentle consideration
In this bright new world
Aware of my resilient roots
Quickly claiming their marks
Never again would I have to count
One, two, three
This place was different
Admittedly I was mistaken
I no longer hid in modus vivendi

Can be any face for you,
The face that gives you strength,
The face that gives you love
@writersnetwork
#creativearena #contest #writingcontest #mirakeeI wake up every morning,
Open my eyes and espy my Life,
The thoughts in the morning are never the same,
Sometimes it's blinded,
By my mind and says ;
Do you wish to wake up? Do you want this to continue?
Then I close my eyes again and see your face,
I see you smiling and patting my back,
This gives me the strength to wake on some rough days.
