Sighs Poems

Premium MemberSummer sighs softly, pausing to watch the golden days slipping away

Summer sighs softly, pausing to watch the golden days slipping away,
When the sun trickles through the gently trembling birch leaves,
Whispering of growth and ripening, the enchantress transforms the fields,
Into gold woven from corn, swaying in the rhythms of bountiful harvests.
White clouds gather, like storms waiting to unleash their song,
She gathers new bluebirds in her warm

Premium MemberAuld Lang Sighs

It doesn’t happen everyday
Through perilous weather, flies Santa’s sleigh
Reflecting in the Winter sun
Are its legs, in gunmetal grey

Yet as Christmas Eve turns to Morning
Falling behind red-silk and cotton
Among the frost
One’s mind is lost
And all else is forgotten

The children play with what was brought
Without as much as a second thought
From where these marvellous gifts came
Or in

My Granddaughter’s Words ***

Achoo! Sneeze! I sat up on my knees,
I glare into the darkness, while Claire makes a cup of tea,
Oh please give me some peas, I cried as I sighed,
They took away all of my food and my mood dropped,
They even took away my shoes, but they can’t take away you, but they do!
I screamed in

Premium MemberSighs in Silent Eyes

Silent eyes 
read the sighs
in breaths 
between words.

They trace 
the quiver that lies,
on still lips.

They hear 
echoes that,
were never made up, 
or never made it out.

They never forgive, 
only condemn, 
in so many 
invisible ways.

"I want to see thirst In the syllables, touch fire In the sound; feel through the dark. For the scream." ~ Pablo Neruda

I
taste the
pulse of stars
coursing through rhymes,
stirring my moon-swept
soul, as I ache for your
soft blue sparks of poetry,
breathless and lost in the musky
heat of phrases etched beneath champagne
skies, wrapped in threads of chiffon-laced heartbeats.
And

"Don't get lost in your pain, know that one day your pain will become your cure." ~ Jalaluddin Rumi

The moon wept over withered stars  
mirroring the heartbeats of mourning blues,
oblivious to the warmth of dusky truth, 
while I bite my lips to suppress the storm,
there, in the soul of the butterfly skyline,
I’ve hand-stitched chronicles

Premium MemberYou wear sadness like pearls, carefully strung between sighs

You wear sadness like pearls, carefully strung between sighs,
in a silent elegance that surrounds your neck,
as if pain were something to be worn with pride.
They marvel at your resilience, viewing it as a spectacle,
yet they never question why suffering
must be your personal signature.
They whisper about your grace, admiring your courage,
but isn't grace just another name

Time sighs

Time flies  alike the birds overhead
Flashing their feathers in colorful lights
Sending off songs makes the world alive 
Heating the lust up as the sun rises 
and cooling the cupidity off  by moonlit 

I wonder how we live this way until we die
Without knowing any idea of the manipulator
Who dominates the destiny of all

Premium MemberIf today you didn't receive a rose and your heart sighs in silence

If today you didn't receive a rose and your heart sighs in silence,
don't let that make you believe you're less than a dream of a flower.
Not because you've been forgotten by the world, but because you are more than a petal.
Roses are beautiful, yes, but they wither under the weight of passing time,
they do not

When Squash Sighs

I don't know what to do when it feel this way, 
When something feels so important, i can't stand to know it alone. 
I want to crawl through each home's focal shrine, the temple TV,
Show them this moment in time.
Because this mutt I found at the shelter,
because world as a whole, i mean hole,
Well, there's

Limited capacity

With limited capacity
I write to you.
Poems, letters and say
whatever feels true.

With limited capacity
I face the God like world,
raise my flag and with limited strength 
I do go to war.

With limited capacity
I accept or deny.

With limited capacity
I had to come and I will bid goodbye.

Our stories, 
they never becomes invaluable,
we just follow the other's
with our ignorable

Premium MemberFractured Sighs

A moment of disbelief,
The world shifts beneath my feet,
Suspended in the space between
What was and what now is.
My mind can't catch up,
Caught in wonder, lost in doubt,
What just unfolded, I can't believe,
I’m still trying to breathe.

Joy floods my heart, it feels too pure,
A light that spills, a moment sure,
As if my soul has learned to

In the aether where stars weave lace from silver threads and sighs,
I see love dripping like a rain of light over divine gardens,
And my soul, a traveler among constellations of longing and unspoken whispers,
Floats like a cosmic butterfly through galaxies of hidden feelings.
Chestnut trees unfold their green palms to the sky that drips tears of
