winter ache.

Written on

 


curtains drawn, dark house

winter snakes its way around

the bridge we once frequented

is covered in ice, crumbling down

 

the flowers that we grew now droop

perished greens, grey stoop

our friendship is unwound

sunshine’s nowhere to be found

 

no silence roars like this

am I not someone you miss?

you bathe in lights of a disco

but all I catch is a distant glow

 

frozen hearts pirouette

in this white, sparkling cage

the sadness is so profound

I can’t see through the grey haze

 

straining strings stretched out

will snap without a doubt

spoiler: that’s how it went

now you’re just a silhouette.

 

we were each others’ gold

but now we’re recycled souls

waiting for what the future holds

it was sad to watch you go.

      Yeahh! This was actually written about a former friend. I don't like her anymore but it was sad to let go of all the years we had been friends together. And thank you so much yaar, you always encourage me to do more :D

      Yeah.. Every poem of mine has some "insider information", as you put it XD so if you're curious, just ask away! And about the "encouragement credit" thing, it's true! Every time I put out something, I do it with a hope that you (and other readers) will like it!

    I loved it... It was really heart touching... I have experienced it and I know how it feels. My case is the same, I don't like her anymore. But still, yes, it hurts! Loved it Ki!!!

Sunset

Written on
via GIPHY It is 18:32. The sinking sun diffuses into the sky like orange candy on a tongue. The sun is slow, yet swift—it gracefully descends like a ballerina when you look at it, but plunges down like a dart plane when you look away. It is as if the sun feels your gaze and wants you to marvel at its glory as it puts its nightcap on. But you should know, the sun only takes a stroll around the world to light up some distant skies. When you see the sun swallowed by the horizon, you should know that it is swiftly climbing up the stairs of another sky in a far-off land you have never seen. Another girl will perch at her balcony at 18:32 to watch what you have just watched. And it will go on. via GIPHY I totally did not write purple prose there  ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ Did the excessive imagery enhance your reading experience, or was it a hindrance? Please tell me so that I can improve!

My Class

Written on

  My class, V-E, is a zoo, With no concrete cells, But with ringing bells, And everyone shouting "shoo". Sometimes it's like a living hell, And in unison thirty voices yell, They run and shout like monkeys minus tails, You can't "shoo" them cuz you'll fail. Other times it's just like paradise, Seems like you won the roll of dice, They'll speak so polite and act so nice, You'll forget you've come to a pack of mice. Now that's my class, Sometimes they're good as angels, Sometimes bad as ghosts, Come here, and if you're lucky, I'll be your host. Photo by  Iqwan Alif  from  Pexels

❝The Shadows Are Her Spotlight❞

Written on

She dances to the songs Of birds and trees. Not caring where her feet fall, Not caring who watches her, Not caring if she's being mocked. She dances in the shadows As the darkness holds her captive; The shadows are her spotlight. Her footsteps fall  On scattered dust. When the little black birds Will fly back to their homes By broken window ledges and vents, The cool breeze will blow the dust Into nothingness, Where her rhythm will lie forgotten. The dying roots of the trees  And the little cooing fledglings Won't remember her tomorrow. I don't know how she does it But when she dances, She dances like there's no tomorrow, Like she's frozen in her own Happily ever after. Photo by  Anthony Shkraba  from  Pexels
