Obstacles Poems

BUZZ

It's so exciting 
Very amazing 
When you fall
Into the right circle 
They never leave you
Steadily thriving and standing 
With you no matter the season.

Always boosting 
Your confidence 
Giving you muse
To act not react
Giving you enthusiasm 
Enlightening you;
Discernment over discrimination.

There's nothing 
Compare to
Your authentic ones
Never pick any over you 
Always interested in you
Prioritizing your wants and

Premium MemberIn the thin air of my thoughts, where obstacles become mountains of time and memories

In the thin air of my thoughts, where obstacles become mountains of time and memories,
Every hurdle jumped seems to break my bones, like branches under the weight of the wind,
Every daily fallen tear turns into silent sighs in the nights of solitude,
Every sin committed haunts my soul like shadows dancing in the moonlight,
And every last

Opportunity, not obstacles

Two hearts lost to love
Our dreams writ across the skies, 
A flight of Sun and Moon, 
Bringing opportunity, not obstacles

Beguiling reality, so vivd
Yet unreal simultaneously
Are we caught in mirror's gaze 
Movement from the corner of an eye

Senses prickling with realisation
Have we truly waited this long
To find and be found
Did fate flinch for us

Navigating by the

Premium Memberup the hill

I’m listening to a song,
that’s captured my mood.
What’s the singer saying?
If it knew, I’d sing along.
but the slurry words elude.
It’s an artistic choice, I suppose,
and I don’t require deeper meanings.

A squirrel stands defiantly in the middle of the path,
A tiny, furry-tailed, usurper - quite out of the routine.
“Hello fluffy rodent,” I baby-sing, as it watches

Lovers' Dream

Two lovers walk intertwined watching the waves as they roll across the endless shore. Their love for each other unbreakable and eternal. The lovers’ hearts so interlaced they beat as one instead of two.

Together in life, in death, into what comes beyond. The lovers walk a singular path, a path that is certain to have

Create the emptiness

The space between stars is not empty,
So the chance to be great is plenty,
That's by finding emptiness a space
And making yourself shine in that place.

So far, your head isn't in the cloud,
Strive hard to stand out in any crowd,
Though, stars glow less bright for a stranger,
But sunshine sweat can be the changer.

You have to find

Across the Miles

Across the miles, my heart does yearn,
For you to know the love I burn.
In distant lands, you dwell so far,
Yet in my soul, you are my star.

Each moment planned, each meeting near,
The world conspires, but we persevere.
Yet obstacles, they bar our way,
But love like ours will never sway.

I dream of days when we unite,
Under the

Unfurling a great journey: the future

Feeling Stressed thinking of it,
Under pressure by the expectations laid on you,
Time to stop thinking of these obstacles,
Undo your past and step into the future,
Rest assured that your life will triumph,
End with a toast to your successful life!

For this is your life, your future and your goals,
You hold the tools to sow the seeds,
Of the

Premium MemberThe Cross Will Shine For You

Sometimes failure in a career
Obstacle in a family
Uncompromising in a relationship
All will lead to a betrayal
Either you betray life or life betrays you
It needs great wisdom to manage life
To achieve life goal
Luck is not always on your side
If you have tried your best
Accept any failure and yourself too
Sometimes be lenient to yourself
As no one is

Behold Your Beauty

A day in the life,
Thou will have a vibe.
Struggles strived by you,
Would pay off true.
Obstacles you fly;
With you head held high;
Would turn your days blue,
Surely bright view.
Inspired by what’s right,
Aspire you deep sight.
Essence that you hold,
Strengthen thought you told.
Things hurting today,
Would pave a strong way.
See your beauty,
The way you duty.
Views written in silence,
Shine you as

Premium MemberThe Cruelest

We blame any obstacles in our ways
The obstacles are cruel
We try all the ways to remove them
We blame the devil as well as God 
But who is or which is the cruelest after all
I said it's time
Because there isn't any more chance
And nothing can be done
If without the permission of time

Premium MemberA Magic Iron

Because of poverty 
My family could only offer an iron
Using burning coal
It looked big, heavy and clumsy
To keep the coal burning hot
I had to fan it with a fancy palm-leaf fan
It took time to iron
To flatten the folds on my dress
To raze the obstacles in my heart
To remove the sorrow in my soul
To gain some
