Ignored Words

Myriad of stories to share,
But no ears have time to spare,
Load of tonnes of words,
Vetoed heart has to forlonly bear!

Unwanted

One wanted my company but they vetoed,
I had happened to overhear.
My anger never torpedoed,
but nulled to make way for sorrow.
I realized it was not them that were hollow–
But it was I that caused distress,
I could not sojourn there nor here,
and everyone hesitated, failing to confess.

Premium Member Wanting of a Soul

Wanting of a soul





Closer we came in love, for want of souls,
No trials, was sentenced a desired gaol,
Each breath in his detention renewed my life,
Vetoed cynicism, that put an end to all strife,
No wonder I didn't plead for a parole !

I Never Vetoed By Yulia Drunina

No matter what,
there is no one who's happier, 
perhaps, tomorrow
I will hang myself 
I never vetoed  
being spry or napping 
for happiness, 
despair 
or sad laugh. 

I never vetoed 
for anything, I never 
cry of the pain, I live, 
I fight, I do. 
I'm happier than anyone whatever, 
I'm not a candle 
to blow out, believe. 

P. S.  This is my translation of poem by Yulia Drunina

Parents

Our parents take us just so far
And then we find our way,
No longer captive to the rules
They taught us to obey.

So where we live or what we eat
Or wear or do for fun
Must be decided by ourselves
And vetoed by no one.

Our choices may surprise or shock
Or anger, I suppose,
But that’s the way it’s always been
And how it mostly goes.

Though parents may expect their kids
To their own lives conform,
Embracing quite the opposite
May often be the norm.
