BloodLetting Yue

Red lily and black dahlia are murderous
Forgotten about that one wish
But that night in the cemetery
I knew where you'd seek

Find me here where the wind disappears
Under your breath, in my ear, what you said
Again & Again & Again, I'll always listen
Follow me back to our future

Be who I knew you'd be without mélodie


Another Version

Is there another version of you
Where your eyes aren't this pretty 
Your voice not so husky
Your hair unkempt 
Your body frail?

Is there another version of you
Where your laughter isn't lilting
Where you aren't always smiling
Where you let yourself be?

Is there another version of you
where  you cry in the open 
And appear weaker to the world

Is there another version of you
The one thst you hide from everyone else
Where you aren't such an extrovert 
Where you aren't always chirpy


Is there another version of you
Where you are cold and shivering 
And not always this warm
a version that you keep to yourself?

Premium MemberTHE PERFUME BOTTLE

  We were running on courtship.
  Emotive urge to surge in opulence.
   Days were passing in passionate mood
   depending on one another 
   with love and mutual confidence.

    One day you gifted a perfume bottle
    telling ' This fragrance of jasmine is my favourite !'
    I was eager to spray at that romantic moment.
      You objected,  'No. not now ! 
     I'm going tomorrow to meet my parents
      to fix our wedding date.
       For a week, just wait.
        I'll open the bottle and spray on both. "

      You left !
       Weeks after weeks are passing by
       I'm waiting with hope and patience.
       The sealed perfume bottle
        is reducling me.

Premium MemberRomanticism

There are some who
all live,
and some, who all
write -- 

Poetry can be happy
compromise -- 

One can both live
and Romanticize 

Though the Heart
will always play
Fool to the Heart....

Love Spell



Pleasure enflame through my entire being
This man, entices my lips to breathe,
Every moment we are touching.
His spell, his gaze, “they have enraptured me.”
And all I want is to give him a never ending kiss
For I have never experienced real love like this
Plus whenever he looks into my brown eyes
I always feel like I’m sitting on top of the skies

He's glued to my mind
And I crave him all the time
This man constantly put a smile on my face
And makes my heart beat fast
Like I’m running a race
I’m convinced that he had cast
A strong love spell on me
For I’m not the way I used to be
However; I love the new me now
Though he may have cast a spell on me somehow.


Premium MemberLet's Romance Tonight

I'm drenched in your love like
this storm we are caught in.
Take my hand, Dear; let's run!
In front of your fireplace
we need to be . . . cuddling.
Rain's pitter-patter will
match the beat of our hearts.

Let's Romance Tonight

Poem written on 19th September, 2025 for the contest "Let's Soar With This Poetry Contest" sponsored by Nette Onclaud.
...............................................
Let us romance tonight,
Our souls will bear love's fruits.
Nine months too long to sow,
Yet that's how life births life.
Its joy will outlive us
Tonight is ours to own.
So come, let love's rhythm play.

Premium MemberMy Dream Within A Dream

“Butterflies in the stomach, a smile that won't go away, and it's like an addiction that makes a person yearn for more. It's not something one thinks about, it's something that's felt, involuntarily.”   - Shelena Shorts 

   My dream within a dream -
I ponder this; what might it be?
    When I was but a teen,
        romantic notions flitted
   through my mind like butterflies -
illusive, beautiful and bright.
  I chased them as I dreamed awake.
      Catching them was another thing!

   I suppose the dream of many
       is to find a love that’s true, but
  I always longed for the allure
      of love that lights the soul on fire -
         a lasting, blazing deep desire.
  Such love ultimately burns out
    but for fleeting moments 
         I held a butterfly or two!

    Sweet butterflies linger not,
They are dreams within a dream.
      Oh, to feel again the tickle -
         that flutters in the tummy
       making me a little crazy!
    How nice to be revisited
      by butterflies now and then.
 Though elusive, they show themselves
      at times inside my poetry.

Un Doted Losses

Huuhhg, huuhhg

Cried?! Call
Hallway
Ever cried
Call way

Rounded strings
Parent darings

Love you going
Eyes in minds spearing

To yell when it dries
A city inside

Rounded states
Hats tilting despair

Losing footing
In a hand worth turning

Parents darling
Missed the meaning of spent

Before you return
City squares I've made,
Steps upon all ponds
Travel days, nights as dawn

World's go to run
Having all dreams in done
Yet hearing the shore
Foreign and open latching boards 

We waste under joy
Bereaved he'll stay a boy

Romantic conflict


Mist is deliberate veil
Just to notice 
If the eyes risk 
Entering to meet 
To greet and embrace 
The face wearing
A dotted lace 
Mulling to reveal 
Knotted thoughts 
Those plots 
Of dense stories 
Ivories of memory 
Glory of the sun
We used to build up 
From the point of 
The startup 
Until the plates and cups
Would get satiated 
And the golden dust 
of the pulverized sun
Would turn into 
The moon of contentment 

I know my dear 
That won't happen 
Because you're hesitant 
At the very entrance 
Of the mystery 
Ignoring the filigree beyond 
Waiting to dawn

Common may be handsome, common may
be nice -- but common, as a common spice,
the pallet becomes less excited.  And thrice
no more appealing than twice.  Think of 
your love as special.  Think of your love as sacred. 
See me in your perfect prayers, and may God, think,
of me~ as your soulmate perfect.

Premium MemberBreath of Sweet Season

back door breeze.
  relief from sophistry.
    sounds of ink
      dipping into darkness.
        I see moonbows,
         or I’d like to; believe
           in wings of brightness,
            breath of sweet season.
             quicksand takes my breath.
               soothing tunes of velvet
                 like romantic violins
                   reel me in; I need briskness -
                     a cold blast. I need leaves
                       to relieve my melancholia.
                         don’t refuse me the hues
                           of Autumn, a drift of falling.

Rose Moon in Bloom

Written for the prompt Rose Moon 15 - 25 words set by Poets Island via Instagram

Eclipsed hips part, unearthing
a rose moon in bloom,
opal sighs glimmer, 
ruby heat spills, sitting
bodies ablaze in molten embrace.

Count 20

I'll run again at 20
If that's what you want
I can play in the rain on the asphalt
Without the soothing petrichor
If 20 minutes without your shadow ever existed
I'll cry my eyes out
Then laugh again
No longer able to use metaphors
In romantic stories
Sarcastic erases so much
Let's breathe a sigh of relief
We're no longer at the end of the road
But truly at the end
Not waving in a single word
Turning back into isolation

Premium MemberLandmarked

Love lingers beyond the neon,
it’s dazzling light will never flicker. 
With each collected moment 
developing that richer hue,
fresh paint on a landmarked sign 
filled with history.
