Forward from: Lilac
How does it feel to be scrutinized
with every breath you dare to take,
yet remain unheard
when your throat tears from screaming?
I don't cry in riddles,
my anguish is bare.
I'm not ambiguous;
I'm unveiled, obvious.
Yet they stayed oblivious.

Thereā€™s a time bomb inside me,
one trigger away from madness.
Yet I hold the switch which can drag me out of it,
My fingers tremble unable to press it
like sinking into quicksand,
screaming for help
while everyone watches you vanish.
Or a seatbelt locking tighter
the harder you pull,
mistaking panic for pressure.

I've sunk too deep to scream now,
pressure closing in,
warping the fragile corners of my mind
where sanity once lived.
Still, I seek validation
as if approval could stitch together
what's already unraveled.

But it's not water I'm drowning in.
I'm stuck behind the mirror,
palms pressed to the cold glass,
where my silhouette flickers
what could have been,
what never was.
Itā€™s smothering in here,
the silence louder than my despair.

How do you lay down a burden that has become your bones?
How can u possibly separate it from your flesh?
I don't mind drowning deeperā€”
but God,
I just want air.


Forward from: The essence of love,
They say, look into the eyes,
but how do I tell them,
whenever I do,
I donā€™t just see,
I read.

A sorrow someone hides,
a smile masking the weight,
dreams shattered in silence,
emptiness resting in wait.

And if I can read them,
perhaps they can too;
the quiet storms in my gaze,
the unspoken sighs,
the words left unsaid,
all laid bare.

So I look away,
because eyes;
they donā€™t just see,
they reveal.


Forward from: Dead pen šŸ–‹ļø
You have spent so much time
being the strong one,
the listener, the fixer,
the one who never crumbles.

You have held everyone together
even on the days
you felt like falling apart.

You have smiled when your heart was breaking,
laughed when your mind was screaming,
said Iā€™m okay
when the truth sat heavy in your chest.

Youā€™ve stayed up late
answering messages you were too drained to reply to,
typing Donā€™t worry, Iā€™m here
when you wished someone would say the same to you.

Youā€™ve sat in a room full of people
but still felt alone.
Youā€™ve walked home at sunset,
wondering if anyone truly sees you.
Youā€™ve stared at the ceiling at 2 AM,
thinking about every mistake youā€™ve ever made.

Some days, even small tasks feel like too much.
The laundry piles up.
The calls go unanswered.
The to-do list keeps growing,
but you have no energy to start.

And maybe you think
asking for help makes you weak.
Maybe you believe
no one will understand,
or that your pain isnā€™t big enough to matter.

But listenā€”
you are allowed to feel.
You are allowed to be tired.
You are allowed to put the weight down.

Strength is not pretending you are unbreakable.
Even the ocean needs the shore to hold its waves.
Even the sun rests before it rises again.

Some nights will feel heavier than others.
Some mornings will come too soon.
Some days will test every bit of you.
But youā€™ve survived every hard moment before.
You will survive this, too.

So breathe.
Slow down.
Let someone in.
You donā€™t have to carry everything alone.

~Thoughtless


Forward from: Iris's Diary
Is it normal for my head to ache, always?
For my heart to be set ablaze?
"You always wear that face,"
"Why are you angry at everything, always?"

My blood keeps boiling, my tears keep staining this face.
Is it my fault that I canā€™t keep up with the race
?

ā€“ Iris


New Month Poem:

Darkness exhales as she is finally put to rest
The Day marches quietly past her tired neck
A roaring sun gives the night owls a blissful breather
His voice penetrates the leaves and grass like a filter
Thirty one Trees brush against the wind and thrive
Glistening ants who dare to dream arrive
Cloaked with hope arrayed to shine


Forward from: The essence of love,
Where everyone is in need of something,
some crave time,
some seek love,
some chase fame,
some long for a voice.
But me?
I measure the world against you.

They ask me,
What is she like?
Like the moon? But it fades and wanes.
Like a rose? But thorns guard its beauty.
Like raindrops? But they dissolve into dust.
Like a lake? But the sun dries it away.

You have no comparison,
no reflection in another.
Your laughter is not borrowed from a season.
Your eyes do not belong to a fleeting dusk.
You are just you,
not more, not less.

And if someone asks me again,
Who is she like?
I will simply say;
"She is like herself. Nothing more, nothing less.
"


Like a caterpillar,
I made for myself a cocoon,
A safe haven, while I hid
From a shattered world.

As the rains came and ceased,
Of the seasons, I was no longer adept,
But within me was a flame,
A burning desire for change,
A raging fire that swept.

Until the rains came to an end,
And the storms did yet relent,
From the seemingly obscure,
The light of day broke forth,
And from my cocoon, I emerged,
A glorious butterfly.

"Emergence"

Forward from: Poetry - Tapestry of emotions
'Specimen Rose'

I kept so many warm and hid,
Staining shredded musing poetries;
That brimmed this old heart,
Yet they flew, beyond my arc.
And now I seek anotherā€” Rose,
For Olds are framed by popular Golds.
Who don't heed to wisely seas,
But least, they'd see glee.

The dusky coral reef, where I behold theeā€”
Dripping by, the strokes as you flee,
I grew glasses over thee.
In the ceaseless ambiguity of lettersā€”
Who has feathers to ferry me to thee
As I cage thee into tender ambrosia,
Walls built, yet blazing prints of nail
Darkest of the sunken ship's sail
But still, I Always fail, off the rail, leaving salty trails...

I've seen, those fragile specimen deceased,
But thee won'tā€”
"My Rose Will Prosper, Beyond All The Mortal Lines"
I'll tend your roots, yet shackled to the veins of my Art
I shall watch you, via my eye's Craft or World's apart,
Only to devour thy effulgence.

Thy pale-lilac glows;
Is to what I bow, as poetry gets brewed, and found it grew~

-To Rose(Gulab)

Forward from: Dead pen šŸ–‹ļø
Thereā€™s nothing wrong
with wearing an old, oversized hoodie at home,
keeping that one pair of jeans that fits just right,
because some clothes arenā€™t just fabric,
they feel like comfort on the hardest days.

Thereā€™s nothing wrong
with using a phone that freezes at the worst moments,
tapping the screen twice to make it work,
because it still holds messages that made you smile,
photos of people you never want to forget,
and reminders of moments that felt like home.

Thereā€™s nothing wrong
with drinking coffee from a mug with a tiny chip,
dipping cookies until theyā€™re just about to break,
adding water to the last bit of soap,
or rolling up the toothpaste tube to get every last drop.

Thereā€™s nothing wrong
with saving old takeout containers for storage,
keeping shopping bags tucked in a drawer ā€œjust in case,ā€
or using an empty jar to hold pens that barely work,
because somehow, these little things always come in handy.

Thereā€™s nothing wrong
with living in a home where the paint isnā€™t perfect,
where the fan makes a noise but still does its job,
where the fridge door needs an extra push to close,
because inside those walls, thereā€™s warmth, love, and stories.

Thereā€™s nothing wrong
with eating a simple meal on a busy day,
replaying the same song because it just feels right,
or watching an old movie youā€™ve seen a hundred times,
because comfort isnā€™t always in something newā€”
sometimes, itā€™s in what we already have.

Sometimes, we wish for moreā€”
something bigger, shinier, something untouched.
But in the smell of home-cooked food,
in the sound of laughter from another room,
in the quiet peace of a place thatā€™s ours,
we already have more than enough.

~Thoughtless


Forward from: The essence of love,
They say walls have ears,
listening to whispered secrets.
But did they ever hear
the words I spoke,
the tears I shed
before them.

I wish they had voices too,
a murmur for every question,
a hush for every grief,
just the comfort of knowing
someone truly listened.

On endless nights,
as I stared at them,
they stretched into shadows.
If only, instead of growing longer,
they had sung me to sleep.

They say walls have ears,
I wish they had a voice too.


I was sick,
With those temporary drugs,
I felt alright,
With that fine page and a sleek pen,
I aligned.
Penning down those blurry memories
Such a good remedy yet a temporary medicine,.

And then comes the plot twist,
Marking the end of my sins
As if you are yourself, the Ganges,
With all your sanctifying ways.

It's been quite long since I got lost in those eyes,
Those eyes,
Beholding my unmasked sights,
Beholding my blacks and no whites.
White,
As fair as the pages I adore,
As straightforward as my metaphors,
As open as your doors,
As straight as parallels drawn.
Parallels,
Parallels drawn between you and me,
In synergy, on par with each other,
Somewhere unknown, lost and farther.
Parallels aren't meant to meet,
Yet makes this poor heart skip beats.
Beats,
Sometimes I was offbeat,
But you were the melody,
Saving me,
Yet again and again,
Somewhere written in stars beyond skies and space.
Space,
In search of personal space,
I saw you fade away in the haze,
Somewhere handcuffed with those chains.
Chains,
Chains that kept you tied in summers and rains,
In plateaus and plains,
In winters and springs,
Leaving marks on your hands,
With time being lost in the tick of the clock hands.
Hands held, souls colliding and somewhere inside the hearts amore blending.
Blending,
The way we blended,
They say a good performance should remain unextended,
The way you stayed,
They say even the moon turns red.

You revered the orb,
Orb chasing you and me,
Orb checking on at crucial times,
A selenophile,
You kept emphasising how it makes the darkest night shine,
I kept pointing out Ebon nights,
You kept elaborating on its light,
I kept arguing how it's not her own divine light.

How it borrows from the sun,
and is a mere macro satellite.

Though I love how those floating specters,
Keeping wandering so effortlessly, so freely,
Alone yet congruous,
Kindred yet idiosyncratic.
Just like those eyes,
Just like my beloved pearls floating every night,
Just like those white lies,
Just like how being left out was the only way out, right?

It's been quite long since I got lost in those eyes,
Eyes, eyes which made this dead soul alive,
Eyes, eyes which made this cheap single page into something without price,
Eyes, eyes that changed hell into paradise,
Eyes, eyes which made this insomniac work clockwise,
Eyes, eyes which made this "batman" and those nights sacrifice.
With no ifs and Why's,
I was on my way to survive,
But those two silent sonnets from heaven made me alive.

It's been quite long,
quite long since I told you those silly lies,
quite long since we practised those high-fies,
quite long since we wandered in the city during lonely nights,
quite long since you had flash on me and I said I hate lights,
quite long since we lost those wishing paper flights,
quite long since days have been bright.
I miss those times,
And
I am sure you miss those times too.

Moreover,
I miss you,
Day and night,
In dark and light,
In solace and delight,
In flashback and foresight,
And I feel you,
And I feel closer,
When I write...

When I pick up the pen,
It's for you,
When I bleed it on the page,
It's to you.
From my side,
To your side,
Afterall.....
Afterall.......
Graves don't reply......



~ @unheard6622


Her tongue still bleeds.
I know because my heart, encased in fragile glass,
Shattered when she tried to lick the pieces.

Her ears still ache
With the lying whispers of my love.
As I threw her to a worm-dark pit,
I told myself, "I'll fix it."

Her nose still runs,
As do warm, salty tears
Down her tired cheeks,
Drowning in a pool of blood.

And I? I have been reborn,
Draining the venom of my past.
I seek an untainted, angelic form,
Burning away my own dark demons.

Forward from: The essence of love,
I'm fine
that's what I've learned to say,
to the wind, the sun,
even to the lonely moon at night.

But today...
you asked,
and for some reason,
your eyes held a longing for the truth.

For a moment I wondered,
should I tell you?
That the silence of the night screams the loudest,
that this smile is just a habit,
that my heart is growing tired of hoping.

But then somehow,
the old habit won again.
I smiled,
and said, "I'm fine."


Forward from: Iris's Diary
She may speak in half-truths, her words crafted with care, but her faceā€”her face will always hold the truth, if you know how to look.

Observe her closely. Her eyes, her lips, the gentle slope of her nose, the subtle arch of her brows, the softness of her cheeksā€”each feature becomes a canvas, reflecting the quiet secrets she cannot voice.

Notice the delicate tremor in her lips, the fleeting twitch in her eyes, the way her cheeks seem to lose their colorā€”as though life itself has been drained from her. She becomes like a brush left dry, aching to be dipped back into color, waiting for the gentle touch of someone who will restore her warmth.

But when happiness finds herā€”when joy dares to kiss herā€”you will see the transformation. Her eyes gleam like stardust, her lips bloom into a smile so breathtaking it feels like the world holds its breath. Her cheeks flush with the softest pink, her brows lift with wonder, and she becomes a visionā€”like a flower basking beneath the sun, alive, vibrant, free.

Her expressions shift like a breezeā€”so subtle, so easy to miss. But if you pay attention, if you truly care, you will see. You will know when she is hurting, when her spirit is worn, or when she is whole, radiant, and loved.

Words may deceive you, but her face will always tell you the story her lips cannot.

The real question isā€”will you be the one who looks? Who sees her in every shadeā€”faded, vibrant, broken, and mended?

Because if you doā€”if you become the artist to her canvasā€”you will witness the most beautiful masterpiece this world will ever offer.

Her.


Don't worship the sun, for she envies you,
Naked and alone in dark, cold mire.

Don't bow to trees, for they ache
To walk the clay and escape unholy fire.

Don't wish to be birds who have no roofs
Over their heads and search until they die.

Don't seek to be my bride,
Because my treasure never leaves my house

Don't ask for truth human,
When you love living a lie.

Forward from: The essence of love,
Yes, it's been a while,
a long time since we spoke.
But donā€™t you ever think
that I have forgotten you.

Even now a moment sneaks in,
sits beside me, takes my hand,
whispers softly;
ā€œCheck your phoneā€¦ maybe thereā€™s a message.ā€

I could reach out too,
borrow a word, send it your way.
But I know,
youā€™ve already stepped back into silence.
And I... I wouldnā€™t want to burden you.

Iā€™m still here,
right where you once left your name.
If ever on some quiet evening,
you need a voice that listens,
one that holds your words gently,
come back...
I am still here.


Forward from: Unheard her!
I spotted her in the woodland while camping,
There she stands smiling, like some celeb-
Exhuberating elegance in white chiffon.
Bell-shaped tassels on her chic dress,
And dainty shamrock pendants add
To her ever-flowing grace. Beauteous!
She smells as sweet as raw honey.
Her aura is but absolutely picturesque.
I am hooked on her mystical gaze.

Flash. Snap! I clicked a selfie.
I hold her hand gently, as to say hello
And she responds by leaving a
Rude rash on my ivory skin. Ouch-
I look her up in cyberspace,
Out of sheer curiosity to know
About her, Lily of the Valley.
Ah, what a beautiful name!
What a captivating semblance!

I looked more up, clearly riveted,
Only to find that she is poisonous.
Looks like the first impression
Is not always the last one to stay.
She was like that social media
Star who knew exactly what to
Showcase to the rest of the world
To appear picture-perfect, as sweet
As a pie and hiding every trait that
Could withdraw someone draped in
The innermost folds of her petals.
She is the best influencer as long
As you don't peep in closer, as long
As you don't dig deeper, for she too
Would have guised her purple poison
Somewhere, probably poured in
The pink pearls of the pretty necklace
Pasted on to her slender swan-like neck
.

That acute sense of your face near mine
That soft touch of your cheek right at my ear
It brought a jolt to my heart
At that moment time stopped
My thoughts stopped
Only my lips moved
My heart rejoiced and felt happy
For in that moment
I knew I belonged to you
For in that moment
When I said
With an abated breath
I Love You
You never even took a microsecond
Just replied with a smile
I Love You Too
Ahh the beauty of those words
Being said and heard
It felt as if the whole life of mine
Was meaningful only becoz
Of those few moments
Of your cheeks near my ear and my heart skipping beats.


Forward from: LOVE POEMS ā¤ļø ā™¾ļø
Embrace me like the wind, so free,
Like warm rain falling tenderly.
Crush upon me like a hurricane's might,
Like a waterfall's rush, a beautiful sight.
Penetrate my being like the light,
Warm me like the sun, shining bright.
Hide me in your shadow, deep and profound,
In your darkness, where love is found.
In the vows of your eternal love,
In your soul, where dreams soar above.
And wait for me in another world,
Where our hearts together are unfurled.

Forward from: Dead pen šŸ–‹ļø
On this Valentineā€™s Day,
whether youā€™re single or with someone,
rememberā€”thereā€™s no rush in life or love.

If you're single,
it doesnā€™t mean you're behind.
Sometimes life asks us to focus on ourselves,
to grow, to learn,
and to get ready for what's next.
You donā€™t need to rush into anything.

If you're with someone,
love isnā€™t about having everything perfect.
Itā€™s about being there for each other,
even when life feels toughā€”
whether it's study, work, or peopleā€™s expectations.
You donā€™t have to have it all figured out.

If youā€™re stressed about exams, your job,
or what others think,
itā€™s okay.
You donā€™t need to be perfect.
Your worth isnā€™t measured by grades, titles, or opinions.
Itā€™s about how kind you are to yourself
and how you keep moving forward,
step by step.

Take your time.
Whether you're solo or sharing your heart with someone,
youā€™re exactly where you need to be.
And loveā€”whether it's with yourself, your goals, or someone elseā€”
will find its way.
