Fragile Poems - Poems about Fragile

Tumultuous:Self-Esteem
Expectations brings about self deprecations, sometimes I wonder if the thoughts running through my head are my own or somebody else’s? The world lives in constant turmoil, waves crashing, tides swerving in and out from open- ended beaches, abysmal delays of the lighthouse directory, guided by supplemental shocks of lightening rays trajectory. I stand firmly in front of the baseless sandcastle, a fragile foundation of past voices from lurking shadows who slowly...

Misty
You don’t know what you do to me When your eyes meet mine that way. You light a spark, then turn and fade— And I’m alone with what I can't say. Broken hearted, I don’t know how To say the things I need to now. You don’t see what’s in my eyes— And I just don’t know why. The moment I saw you It...

Fade
Fade into the void, pale and unseen, a whisper of silence, dim murmured echo. Unheard and unremarked, an absent fragment, of drifting haze, that lingers unseen. Fragile, easily shattered, weightless and distant, an obscure hollow, of faint gray dust. Blurred empty thought, foggy and fractured, like an unfelt sigh, flickering invisible in the murk. O veiled shadow of former self, ashen phantom of better days, am I but a fleeting shade, doomed by fate to wilt and...

Premium Member In a dream universe, my fragile bones yearn to become
In a dream universe, my fragile bones yearn to become A parchment of your essence, engraved in eternal silence, To blossom into birds and bees that rise towards the light, To forget decency in the magic of oblivion, to be an eternal story. I watch you stand, a worshipped goddess, beautiful in splendor, A temple of light and mystery, a...

Pale Porcelain
Clad in bright white sapphire Millions crawl, the exhausted lay to admire Within its swelling eye thousands desire At the back I lie, waiting to expire Scratching the walls without respire I danced into crossfire With a soul which yearns to retire Lips littered with satire A heart prosecuted to hellfire Still, my porcelain surface shone as if a luminaire Slowly the winds fill...

Unsaid Prayers
She rose at dawn and laid the mat, not from longing, but from old habit. She bowed, then sat, hands curled in form, but the heart lagged— a breath behind. Whispers once lush now stumbled dry— echoes of names once called with fire. The tasbih clinked without intent, rolling bead by bead without a soul. She used to plead, soaking her sleeves, but now she blinked and called it done. Ameen, she mouthed— not out of...

Veils of Uncertainty
A silver bird departs, the sky serene, Yet morning’s promise shatters in a breath; Ash falls where laughter and bright hopes had been, A city mourns the sudden hand of death. In distant hills, a traveler’s path grows cold, A journey meant for dreams, now left undone; The news arrives—too heavy to be told— A vanished step, a race that’s never run. Where...

Premium Member You deserve connections that don't require you to walk on fragile eggshells to reveal your heart
You deserve connections that don't require you to walk on fragile eggshells to reveal your heart, where words flow freely like a mountain river, carrying truth and simplicity within them, without needing to bend your soul into unfamiliar shapes just to protect egos, and your inner peace to be an inviolable sanctuary, a place where your true self...

sometimes I wonder who is that little porcelain doll dwelling in the chambers of my heart fragile beyond appearances potentially crushed by a word said or another held back and yet at other times i wonder if she has withered away since my heart feels cold and empty AP: 1st place 2025...

How fragile we are
I sit and watch the twilight In vaulted heaven burns brittle stars I feel the rush of wind It cares the ash of pine I feel the movement of the earth In rivers of darkness flow I feel the cosmic birth How fragile we are I know the tilt of the universe In seas of oblivions void I touch the...

I am like a flower bud, delicate and fragile, always seeking light in the eyes of others, My face may be a painting you'd like to admire, but deep inside, I am torn into shreds, Yet I ask for your love like a spring rain that soothes my longing for warmth and clarity. I ask for someone—to nourish...

Resting Place
Then truth must become a resting place For my soul When my thoughts scatter As ripples upon the sea Created by pebbles Tossed carelessly When my heart bruises As fragile as wings of a butterfly Ripped and torn as by a child Just passing by When my feet are tattered As painful as a soldier’s wounds Yet he still struggles to stand From dusk to noon When my head...
