Premium MemberHow We Can Learn To Love

When you see others hurting and your heart doesn’t cry,
Look inside and ask yourself the answer to your why?
The path we’re given here on Earth is so we can learn.
To begin the learning process, we must feel concern.

For each to evolve while on this Earth, each must transform.
Right choices made along the way seldom cause

Even in Pieces, I Stayed Yours

English Rhyming Translation
© Krishika Upadhyay | 2025

I’m breaking down, in lashes' shade,
In silent dreams, I wish I stayed.
I try to rise, on roads that smile,
But thorns have gripped my feet a while.

Yes, thorns are biting where I tread,
And tears now rest where sleep once spread.
It feels I’ll shatter, fade away,
Or lose myself in you someday.

I

Yours without having you

Yours Without Having You"

As solitude surrounds me,
I still feel the whispers...
of your presence.
Soft.
Haunting.
Like a memory...
not yet made.

In a fleeting moment of joy,
you hush my fears.
You stir…
a calm I never knew lived in me.

Then
An epiphany strikes.
Like the sun,
piercing
my skin.
Sudden.
Warm.
Unforgettable.

But still
a deep sadness lingers
in my soul.
Because I know...
I can never
call you mine.

Resilience?
Baby…
it slips through my fingers
like smoke.
I

1060

And so I wrote another poem, love
Are there any regrets running through your mind,
Or was it just me all along?
You kept telling me it’s because of your idleness,
Yet I long for something more

And so I wrote another poem, love
Is there any pain in your heart,
Or was it just me all along?
You kept speaking of promises,
Yet

Premium MemberFalse Sun



first love's false flame burned way too hot
and left me nothing but the want
for fiery passion to remain
to keep me bound in love's pleasure-pain

like chasing an addiction high
more and more but always just shy
I find that I am in a cage
I have lost this ancient war you waged 

so injured, I then licked my wounds

Through This Weary Way of Silence

Silence, like a glass thrown up in the air
Then exploding, its shards like a nagging echo
Raining on a heart, and it's so unfair
To bleed for love that is not there... Is there, 
Through this weary way of silence, I must go. 

I would turn around then I would not turn around, 
Your smile and glances

The Ghost of Us

You were the best friend I never had,
The love I held in trembling hands.
The one thing pure, the one thing true,
The brightest light I ever knew.

We had our storms, we had our fights,
Yet I believed we'd make it right.
Through every fall, through every scar,
I thought we'd heal—we'd come this far.

But love is not just words

Lost and Looking

Surrounded by strangers who love me.
[Un]strangers made strange by pain.
Words the same as always, the same as nothing, when nothing is the same.

Lost and last to know; lost and last to love.
I am the last one lost.
For you cannot see even a bubble; once it is popped.
Falling not flying.

One lost, bloody word, like the lost

Decry, Cry, Cry, Cry

She cried,
She's sorry,
I cried,
You left.

The nerve.

You can come back,
You can stay,
We can stay together.

She said she'll never do it again,
She cried and held me,
You were gone.

When you come back I'll be happy,
I hope you're happy,
It wasn't my fault.

Her words were painful,
Like only a cut could heal.

I cried.
You left.

Come back and kick it,
Stay awhile,
Stay forever.

You'l be

Whispering Fate

Sacrified everything she had, yet it remained the same.
Ceased expecting anything, indifferent she became.

Ceased expressing preferences, feeling it is pointless.
Silence born from exhaustion and hopelesness.

Unaware of what was evil.
His tainted soul being deceitful.

Destroying everything alive, planting seeds of grief.
As she became someone she barely recognizes, a reflection of his needs.

Never ending feeling of emptiness.
Fate whispering

Whispering Mind

Emotionless eyes that have the colour of wind, looking in mine...killing me from inside.
Why do I feel so tired all the time?
Seeing everything you do, being blind.

Fearing your unstable mind, destroying mine.
Whispering in my ear: 'Deny'.
The sadness oh the sadness...comes and goes flood tide.

Going insane, stuck in an endless cycle trying to get outside.
Going through

In Sickness

When you were in the hospital, dear
My heart was filled with a dreadful fear.
I begged God to spare your pretty life
And went home with worry for my wife.

The strain on both my body and mind
Was so great that no sleep did I find.
I prayed by your bedside and by mine
That God would heal and all

Petrified Lights

The Northern Lights petrify
Leaving stains of color to grated souls.
Foreign thorns entice the sky -
threshing what's left of flesh.
For a season deceiving remains,
jaded petals cover sinister views
~Yet~
Wilted and jagged with pigment stagnant -
Dark; blackened to average -
Decay begins from less fortunate sins.
Charisma lost while miracles fold -
Enigma strikes like pyrite gold -
Within life loss -
An

When Silence Prevails

Silence covers
stormy seas churning within.
When all could be expelled,
sudden burst of raw emotion,
revealing every painful scar,
there's silence.

Looking into the sunset
seeking solace from the shade,
murky waters detailing problems unsettled,
Silence crosses the rift.
Deep oceans in my eyes
never cross their boundaries.
I refuse to cry.

Pressure mounts against my walls,
levies of fortitude,
misunderstandings of the truths,
judgements of the unknown.
What lies behind

A Thousand Years

You're an ancestor
from a Spanish shore,
your blood thick with it,
a wanderer,
in the Jersey woods,
you're piece of granite,
your bad boy side
glinting in the sun,
a small slice of hell,
revealed when you blink your 
thick eyelashes
at anything that passes,
just to call it 
"healing,"
panting like a mad dog through rosy 
winter cheeks,
that wild, thirsty,
thousand year old pain,
circling back to
