The Hospital Said Hi

Signed the papers. 
The hospital said “Hi.”
They don’t always help. 
Unless you’re drained and parched. 
And a nurse hands you a droplet. 
The walls have walls. 
The clock cooks me slowly. 
Grumble, grumble. 
When the hospital greeted me…
I had a moment where I felt like I could flop down on the floor. 
I belonged.
But you don’t slouch in here. 
And if you do, hornets scream. 

Signed out. 
Took my bag and burning, foaming lips. 
I wondered if anyone left a message. 
Went home to a harsh palace. 
With suncatchers. 
Burning, foaming memories. 
Signed out. 
No one greeted me for a long time. 
At least- not like the hospital. 

“Hi there.
Set your bag over there. 
And welcome to the place where hornets go to die.”

Yeah. 
My friends thought I ditched them all week. 
The hospital said “Bye.”
How could they know?

Premium Member Never Said

Reaching the twilight zone of my life 
when tiny pieces of memories are the
most precious possessions of a meaningful journey, 
my thoughts are flooded with unspoken words
as my mind wanders back to the poignant past 
with love, some regrets, boundless yearning 
for the days which once felt like staying forever. 

 a chance encounter on a weathered dock, 
 gossamer melting rays of sun fell on us, 
 I remembered the unsaid words,
 which I and you should have uttered,
 but strangely failed to.
 
  Our eyes met, our lips quivered,
  Our hearts almost burst into fragments,
  but this was the only time, 
  not a word was voiced, 
  everything around us - remained hushed!

Is today the day the world, who witnessed the heartbreak,
wants us to speak, 
Is today the day we no longer restrain 
our throbbing hearts when I meet you 
at this amber sunset, 
when all the remnants of life blend together?

Or this day will again glide the same unruffled manner
as it had tiptoed away many years ago?


The thing i never said

I watched you leave and sealed my mouth shut tight,
And turned my love to poison overnight.
I wanted to scream, to make you stay, to bleed,
But I just stood there, choking on my need.

I told myself that silence made me strong,
But silence was the place where rot belonged.
I should have said you broke me, made me small,
I should have said I loved you through it all.

I should have said you left me in that room,
Alive, but learning how to breathe in gloom.
I should have said I'm angry at your face,
For how you made my anger feel like grace.

Now I confess it to these empty walls 
How I rehearsed your name down empty halls.
How I regret the war I did not wage,
How I still love you, even through my rage.

I hate that I still check the phone at night,
I hate that I still dream you hold me tight.
Forgive me I was cruel to keep it in,
To let us die without the truth within.

The thing I never said now eats at me,
It is the chain, the cell, the lock, the key.
It lives inside my throat, it will not free,
Until I say: you still belong to me.

The Thing I Never Said

The feeling was real in heart
A glance pierced the heart ,like a dart.
There was a spark,a different glow
Everything was smooth, with the flow.
Year after year,the bond got strong
It all seemed magical, but,I was  wrong.
The words looked real,the emotions so true
The love grew deeper,there was no clue.
It was a mistake, to think it real
The pain is deep,hard to deal.
The wounds though invisible, are forever 
I was fooled...I wish,I was clever...
The thing I never said ,is ,the regret
To have been loved,feels to be in debt.
Everything every time,was fabricated 
It took years to realize, how deeply,I was hated.
Deep inside, my heart regrets and mourns
As the pain,from thousand piercing thorns...

Premium Member We Never Said Goodbye


Contest:  The Unseen Poetry
Prompt:  The thing that was never said
Sponsor:  Sotto Poet

She had to leave the country suddenly.
Niether she nor I chose for it to be this way.
There was this thing that was never said.
There is an aching inside the soul when there's
Someone to whom you never got to say goodbye.

I did not realize it at the time,
But in short order, I was certain that
The relationship was not meant to be.
Still, there was this thing that was never said.

Strangely enough, a similar occurrence happened
A second time.  There was a brife romance that
Did not continue for very different reasons. We
Were like a plane that never got airborne.  The
Love was intack, but the facts quietly spoke and
said, 'No'.  We parted company and chose not
To say goodbye.

Again, for different reasons, under different
circumstances, there was this thing that was
never said.  We never said, "Goodbye".


THINGS I NEVER SAID

I never told her I loved her;
Back then I was much too shy.
Always fearing rejection,
I let opportunities pass me by.

I thought she was too good for me,
I wouldn’t stand a chance.
And that she’d only laugh at me
If I asked her for a dance.

I bumped into her yesterday,
Her family in tow
And we got to chatting of
Those school days long ago.

She said, “I have a secret,
That no-one ever knew.
All the time we were at school,
I really fancied you.”

Premium Member You Said Goodbye

I believe In my heart 
You're done with me
The future we planned 
I guess will never be 

The love we once shared 
It is now all gone
And too soon for me
You will be moving on 

If you ever cared for me 
It's impossible for me to tell
You're out there living life
I'm here living in hell

You still smile everyday 
While everyday I only cry
I was the only one damaged 
When you said goodbye

Premium Member The Night She said no

That night was a long and lonely night 
A night to be much remembered 
It was the right she said no to me
No to the love and affection I had for her
As i sat down reflecting on that 
The words she said to me came to mind
She said "baby am sorry, sweetheart it's all over"
It was a night like never before
It was a night of long knives 

I gathered the shred pieces of my heart
And I told myself it may be the end of us
 but it was not the end of the world
I better get hold of myself and get moving 
With a mended heart there are many possibilities 
The night she said no became a watershed in my life
  (Written 1st of September 2026)

Premium Member The End of August

You may find it’s all been said
What you mean to say
But it sounds not too bad
In your own sweet way
You may look out with no aim
Scanning the familiar view 
But it isn’t quite the same
For today the morning dew
Burns the leaf it occupies 
With the dazzling sun
Welcome to the silent cries
As if you are young
But not near that comprehensive
As the youngsters are
Maybe little over-pensive
With your mind too far
From the problems of today
Too close to the past
Saying what you have to say
Once again too fast..

The ankh said Anubis had been fabricated

Drawing the piper's ankhs over the fire whistled these words, that Anubis was fabricated a war of the worlds, but never have see the day then, like open amphoras that last by the daybreak, open Egypt to the masses, the crypts speak of Anubis even if we can't accept that.

The long hum is silent to some but deadly said the wolf

The hymn like the hum
but the hum silent to some
One spreads like them both

Premium Member A GYPSY DANCE 

Dad said I was a moving,
my feet and body was a grooving.
At three in dance school.
moves that were very cool.
Dance in my body and soul,
a gypsy dance or rock-n- roll.
My feet,
dance floor they will eat.

Premium Member A voice said cry out.'

And i said what shall i cry out.? He answered all flesh is as grass and its
Goodlieness is as the flowers of the
Field.! In this wasteland of hard-drives
Of blue light screens..Of wires and modems of pc correctness.' Of soullessness i call out day and night.' I
The stranger and the alien among you
A forigener and a man of forigen
 tongue ( i am from you yet not of you )
A sojourner among you.'
I cry out of the Glory of God, and the depravity of the current and former world
All the hills will be made low.' And every valley raised up there will be no hiding place from Gods revelation..
Its being fullfilled as i speak, as knowledge is fully
Available more and more on Gods Truth
And satans miss-information.! Awaken oh
Sleepers!!! And let the Light of Jesus shine upon you.' I witness not of myself
But of He who holds the sun and moon in
His hands ' be not found asleep when He comes.!

The unicorn said to the rhino,
"You're fat, and your horn doesn't shino."
The rhino shot back,
"Existence you lack,
You're fake, and as dead as a dino."
