Wrongly severed
So I broke someone's heart today
Just with my silly words...
How could I have envisaged that those tiny little words could hurt him
I'm really apologetic but I don't know how to do that
From the look in his eyes, I could see it
Like it cost our friendship.
This precious bond of ours feels severed
How do I fix it?

Rose petals
Bound to someone, My heart yearns for another
I crave his touch
I am not supposed to, But I still do
I still love him
I miss him
I want to kiss him
I want his arms around me
The delicate touch of his fingers
Around my waist
His soft lips pressed against my neck
I'm loosing my mind
This sounds so toxic
But really don't blame me, hormones are bitches and the brain doesn't forget things.
Especially not this
©michelle_pen -
Are you there?
Shadow self, clone self, other half me
I'm right here in planet earth
Surviving and striving to move forward
I've made some choices that aren't exactly peculiar to my people
I don't know if we are exactly the same
But I'd only change my father.
Are you also a triple board certified surgeon?
It's beautiful out here in Jarsoom
But not everyone Is, they make it so toxic here
In the vast multiverse, I really do hope you are there somewhere
And we get to share our stories
©michelle_pen -
Do I still exist?
The clads of hope i held onto
Like a fog, got clearer till it disappeared From existence
Agreed there are flaws here and there
But there's nothing to keep me sane
The scales have been tipped.
The alternate universe has unlocked it's door
Receiving it's new lost soul
Just floating in numbness, with several sightings of myself
Walking through and through
In mirrors with no destination

In pain, she laid defenseless
and nearly unconscious
She felt it all over
Bruised and battered mercilessly
Her blood splatters on the walls and floor
Skin lacerated, arm broken, ribs broken
For it was a horrible sight
I could couldn't bear to look at her
This definitely wasn't a first
How could he? Why are you still with him?
(I can't leave him..... i love him so much
And my son; can't be without a father...
He promised he will change...) she whispered in tears
Saying this she fell unconscious
She didn't make it to the hospital
before giving up the ghost
She had already lost too much blood
I moaned in pain, for I was never going to see her again
This happens in a lot of families and relationships
Domestic violence has to stop
Women do not settle for less;
than you deserve like she did
You are no one's punch bag
And nothing justifies such action!

In a cave far to the east
Lies a city
The long hidden, now lost city of pikan.
With diamond and precious stones in the walls
Stream and rivers flowed with pearls and gemstones
The pikans were all royalty
And had one sacred rule governing their lifestyle.
They protected their land in unity and peace
The earth belonged to the dark pikans
The waters belonged to the light pikans
For they control both at will.
Several have tried to steal from this land
But have failed
Hunters came, pikan belongs to me
Warriors yelled, pikan is ours
Even the Armani; from the great city of iron
Lost a great deal to conquer them
But failed
Their sworn enemy; the ninjas
Rose again to attack and take the treasures for themselves
The pikans have been strong warriors over the years
Although primitive bound to their customs and doctrines of the past
This time the story goes different
The ninjas were defeated as usual but have some men on the inside
They have been pretending for years to be happy pikans
They discovered the secret of the land which makes them vulnerable.
The ninjas again attacked this city while appeasing the Yin energy...
Yang was left alone to protect the land on his own
There was only so much (he) could take
Soon the energy within was lost and a new army of ninjas launched ....
The pikans fled in fear
Their legacy of a Millennia all shattered in pieces
A few pikans decided to stay till death
For this was their land after all
The ninjas yelled; victory is ours
Little did they know that their end was near
For I lead an army of immortals, wielding nuclear weapons.
I shall now cleanse this cave of its impurities
Tic - Toc
And it goes ka..boom!!☠
It's all MINEIt is mine !!

My wish for you
On this special day
Is that you shine brighter than a diamond.
May your wishes
On this special day come to pass,

Thought loop
I had a thought and I thought that that thought was not very thoughtful of me. And so I thought of a better thought to fill in the unthoughtful thought I had thought of.

In my last memory, before I joined the human realm I was a plant, in the middle of a road I stood between two rivers and set my eyes swimming on the grey veiled sky like fishes in the ocean. It was a liminal space for my fallen leaves trying to weave and unweave themselves and an enormous playground for the dead and heavenly bodies.
Masses of molten surfaces always sung songs of joy to me but as my eyes bathed with the strings of small white clouds that sectioned the sky, those songs turned into woeful dirges for I thought clouds had white identity to be proud of but the sky was wearing dark and would be left in a kinship with slavery. I didn't know the sky was a slave already. Humans have a tendency to dominate everything they think is weak.
I wish to be a plant again, carrying the song of life in my breaths and you to be my flower and drape my breasts, hang around me like your soul does in my heart; share your beauty and sacred communion and twilights of talks with me. You are a dream that has no waking. Our love is not blood related, it comes from the heart, from where the fountains of feelings run so let me be the container of grief and eat your sorrows to their last so all I see on your face would be jeweled skies cooping me up with the finest ornament that we call a smile.
When stones of sorrow crumble at your petals and storms come closer to leave us ragged I'd dance with the poison rage and fury in my leaves against the machines set for our demolition but as feeble as I am I'd be as assuring as the waving hand of a mother to her school going son and be as wiser as the old oak tree standing tall even in the wake of destruction.

The Auction-House(The Bordello)
This auction house wasn't my destination
This bordello wasn't anywhere in my dreams...
I was a tiny fairy in my father's courtyard...
I was a dear flower in my mother's garden...
I had dreamt of ruling in palaces...
I beautify a bordello now...
This hell is my abode now...
I have long forgotten that paradise of dreams...
Many commuters visit me, but I am not their destination...
The thirsty also come to me, but I'm not their eternal water-source...
I am that toy or puppet which entertains you...
I'm not holy enough to walk the path of life with anybody...
I gather the pieces of my splintered heart...
Then wrap them in the rags of my defiled veil...
Store them neatly in the vault of my past...
And promptly confront my new buyer...
Bordello - Brothel

नीलामघर
ये नीलामघर मेरी मंज़िल नहीं थी
न ख्वाबों में मेरे ये गलियाँ कहीं थी
मैं बाबुल के आंगन की नन्ही परी थी
मैं मैया के गुलशन की प्यारी कली थी
कभी ख्वाब महलों के देखे थे मैंने
मगर अब बनी हूँ मैं कोठे की ज़ीनत
ये दोज़ख ही अब तो बसेरा है मेरा
जला मैं चुकी हूँ वो ख्वाबों की जन्नत
हैं प्यासे भी आते, मैं सावन नहीं हूँ
मुसाफिर बहुत हैं, मैं मंज़िल नहीं हूँ
जो बहलाए दिल को, खिलौना वही हूँ
मैं हमराह बनने के काबिल नहीं हूँ
बुझे हुए दिल के टुकड़े समेटती हूं
मैले आँचल के चीथड़ों में लपेटती हूँ
अतीत की दराज में उनको सहेजती हूँ
फिर नए खरीदार से रूबरू होती हूँ

eyes speak a language unknown to tongue and lips; articulating and spilling the darkest secrets and the brightest dreams for the bare soul to quaff and ooze out a sense of wonder.
eyes are galaxies of countless emotions hidden within layer of words contradicting themselves and sometimes all you need is to look deep into them to decipher oceans of love.

Listening to His voice
I heard a voice say,
"None of your mistakes can outweigh
My love for you
All I ask is that you love me too."
I heard God say,
"My mercies are new everyday,
I died to give you a divine life -
A life without strife."
I heard my Father say,
"No matter how far you stray,
I will help you find your way
And everything will be okay."
I heard my Friend say,
"I'll always be here;
All you need to do is come near
And have no fear."
I heard my Love say,
"For all eternity, we will stay
In the place I have prepared for you."
Isn't this the most beautiful rendezvous?
Whose voice do you hear?
Does it fill you with faith or despair?
With truth or myth?
With life or death?
I have told you only but a few of His words
There's more if you thirst
And I'd love for you to know the rest
For they will give you rest
Even after you are laid to rest.

Dissenting: (here) the act of protesting.
Dearth: lack of something.
Ersatz: not real
#concoct @mirakee @writersnetwork @ _mxnxshx_My soul is concocted by
Pessimistic thoughts,
How evil it feels
Watching my soul dissenting with my own thoughts.
There is a dearth of someone
Who'll help me escape this and
Reassure me that all of this is erstaz. -

UP-RISING
by Carolyn Glackin
From grand Valhalla
Watch me rise
On blood stained wings
In war torn skies
See my glory
Fanned by flames
From fires you lit
To burn my name
Caustic words
Assailed my soul
Complete demise
Your vile goal
How well you tried
How well you failed
For as you see
My soul prevailed!
In triumph
I live on today
As you look on
In shocked dismay
Your sad attempts
Can't bring me down
In your own karma
You soon shall drown!
So try your best
With might, in vain
Inflict me with
Such loathsome pain
A soldier's born
This day, 'tis true
My warrior soul
You never knew
For though the phoenix
Often dies
Forevermore, we too shall rise!

Just can’t believe ,I’m in shock
WNREPOST as well first ever POD ,unbelievable I’’m greatly humbled and thankful @mirakee
@writersnetwork
Life of a rose
is brief though
but blissful;
It’s petals smile n’ blush
when you hold
Untimely unfold
withers to the core
Spreads fragrance
Bravely bears rainy blows
Pearly dew drops it beholds
like tears of beloved’s eyes
in search of love sublime.
Sprouts seeds of love
Wipes tears of forgiveness
Bedecks hairdo of damsels
Adorns the heart of grooms
for the union of two souls.
Heightens the grace of sacred occasions
Mourns the departed soldiers
who braved the fronts
//Conveys the message
of love and peace to all//
