How Poems - Poems about How

When you unravel in the darkness, you learn how deep the silence of the world sinks, not even those for whom you would bleed will carve your name into their silence, they will scroll through dreams, sleep under indifferent skies, smile like shadows, while you try to breathe through the pain wrapping your soul like a veil. For when...

As a teenager, I was so lean and lanky. My mother worried over my physical stature. She believed that all the nutrients in my diet, were rapaciously devoured by my hair. From childhood onwards, I had long, thick hair that cascaded down my back like a jumping cataract. Each time I got ready for school in my uniform, my mom had...

Our memories will be the roots In our strong yet delicate foundation. Our talks will be our parachutes As we slowly fall into infatuation. Our fall outs will be rationalized away As we become each other's voices of reason. Our voices will soothe us without sway In our soft-spoken tones, without confusion. Our individual strengths will shine through Each and every time we speak...

journey into a bipolar mind pebbles in time . there were ripples in yesterday’s water where stones once were tossed . pebbles really, yet enough to form concentric wrinkles soothing over rough edges and drowning silly circus clowns . each circle died and glass-like waters were again still undisturbed as though he had not been there . perhaps he hadn’t . in his head circles rolled onto circles and the pale painted...

How can we not have this conversation where footprints of the poor vanish beneath the boots of investors, and the river sings only to those who can afford its luxury? In Chobe, the elephants roam free, but people walk caged in poverty. We call it coexistence when tusks are protected, but mothers bury their sons gored near neglected kraals. And no one...

Inside me, a tempest rages - flowers bursting through cracked ribs, their thorns piercing deeper with every silent scream. I choke on words unsaid, swallowing the poison of quiet love, letting petals tear through my lungs until breath becomes a battleground. you are the sun i cant reach - bright and distant, while i bleed this garden of pain, thorns digging in like broken promises. each...

I want to be an artist. I want to create a piece if be proud of for the rest of my life. Id peel back the skin, cutting the fat away until it was the perfect size. then id mold it - shape it until it was just right. Pulling muscles like clay, threading through blood vessels and...

How do I know I can trust you— You who come cloaked in stars and sighs? Your eyes are night’s deceptive hue, And love has learned to lie. You speak in tones the wind might use To stir the sea to sleep— But every vow you let me choose You never meant to keep. I held your name like silken thread Between the fingers...

All the sorrows and pain Is this how this one end The lies of valley of flowers It slowly becomes more sorrower When you come to my cremation You will love me a little more deeper The light will poke your eyes When you can't see me in those highs The mountains we love Has many things to say Will you be able...

Big smile Hello How do you do? Screech on your brajes, No one says that anymore. How do you do? Has been tossed out with “you’re welcome” They have both been kicked to the curb, under a dumpster. Don’t believe me? Get yourself served somewhere. When you say “thank you” If the waitress is under a hundred she is going to say “no problem” Where is...

Don't grieve. Anything you lose comes around in another form. Quote by Rumi How could you abandon me at that time A small innocent child, just a toddler Blond hair, sky-blue eyes with mountains to climb You couldn't know even if I would be a coddler I might have spoiled you...
