The Girl and the Ghost of Grief


I do not scream when it starts.
Just walk barefoot into the forest,
where birch trees bend down to me like elder women,
and the moss knows all of their names.

All of them from my season’s past,
haunting me, scolding me, reminding me of their sacrifices.
Breaking open my flesh, cracking the cavity of my chest,
where all of my rotten fairy tales drip out in despair.

My grief has learned to follow close behind
before it ever learned how to run away.
It lingers behind like steam from a broken kettle,
silent but always seeping through the cracks of my wreckage.

I used to call him father.
Now, he’s just a ghost.

One that carries the reeking of December’s air into my home,
the sound of creaking branches under his lumbering weight.
What holds the echoes of his every scream,
his touch that bruises every soft fruit it touches. 


The ghost doesn’t speak.
He caresses my shoulders when I forget him,
pinches my skin when I smile too hard,
leaves my breath in frost every night.

Flood Season


My heart holds all of my firsts.
The first breath of life,
the first cry cracking out of my lungs.
It holds the rupture of a dam my parents tripwired,
so the flood has always won.
The guttural scream of you and sixteen,
a ruthless rise in your grip for the ripest fruit.
I was only trying to hold on.
To hold on to innocence like the sun prying
at time on the horizon just to catch a 
glimpse of the moon.
My heart holds all of my firsts,
the shushed cries and soiled flesh
I did not pray or.
God crying in December’s fog 
as you abandon me in winter’s thaw.
You are forgetful,
but my heart remembers all.

It is time to write again 
                to let the pen flow 
as the breeze comes through 
      my open window...

Thoughts arise like buds 
                    strewn across the 
               the open mind, 
   
                  then when left agape  

they scatter like wild flowers 
          before settling 
        on my nape....


Premium Member Characteristics of a Writer

Your heart has a yearning
And a burning desire 
To share what you’re learning
Like voices of a choir 

Small pieces of paper
With the things you have thought
A con or a caper
How the villain was caught

No time is a wrong time
If you wake up at night
With a thought of a rhyme
Then you know you must write

Watching movies with you
Your friends do not enjoy 
For you catch every clue
And discern every ploy 

And time seems to fly by 
When you sit down to write
With that glint in your eye
There is no end in sight 

You longed for the teacher
To ask each for a story 
You wrote down your feature
Of our flag called, “Old Glory”









Friends with the dictionary 
Filled with word after word
To some it seemed scary
When the big words they heard

But not to the writer
You knew you’d become
A reader delighter 
You knew you’d please some

 So write on forever
 As your stories you tell
 A writer so clever
 Right inside you doth dwell

Premium Member The Itchy, Twitchy, Writer

Writer's Block, just blocked my thoughts again!

Scratched my scratchy head, with Itchy Pen.

But, no cure can cure a Writer's Rash!

Uninspired, sired "Inspiration Crash!"

Premium Member AI Panacea Or Pain

A human writer needs,
to think and many times rewrite their work.
We put our heart,
creativity and imagination into each piece we write.
AI has stolen,
the creativity and imagination from writers.
The human writer is the true creator,
creator from their human heart.
AI is the great copier,
because they have No heart to write with.
I write for the reader,
I am a human poet all the way.

Premium Member Palaverous Writer

annoyingly wordy
a palaverous spirit
her writing was verbose
and boring
unliked by many
not understood by any
especially me

Premium Member BLANK PAGE

BLANK PAGE
a blank page whispers,
ink spills like a timid stream—
where have the words gone?

Burn the witch

They say I'm a witch, but when I told them I have a spell to make them write poetry, they shout "Free the witch!"

But when I say I'm a writer, they want to hurt me. As soon as I mention my spell to make words touch hearts, they say "Free the writer!"

To me, it doesn't matter if you're for me or against me.
I choose to write. Poetry is my passion.
With poetry, I find my voice and my identity.
I discovered poetry when I was searching for what I'm good at.

If you want to set me free or keep me bound, I'll keep writing. My words will touch hearts, and that's all that matters.

Free the writer, or bind the writer tight,
I'll write my poems, day and night.
My words will shine, my voice will be heard,
Free or bound, my poetry's my word!

Reclusive Writer

Reclusive Writer 
Avoid society 
Avoiding the light 
Always a pen in hand 
Footprints in the sand 
Ponder the night 
Black ink bleeds off the pages 
Mind always racing 
Reasoning between the lines 
A poet is isolated 
Solitude in darkness 
Just a small candle glaring 
My shadow whispers next to me 
Focus on my work 
A cemetery is planted next door 
A reclusive writer 
A mystery story teller 
Dragging behind on paper 
Mind fading at dusk 
Empty spaces 
Empty thoughts 
Sometimes, writer's block 
Eyes are blurry 
Another cigar burning 
Locked up in my room 
Pages are crumpled up 
A new title  
For a new poem 
We are writers in the dark 
We are chained to the desk  
We write on

An uncompleted love

We met by fate, on a quiet eve,
January winds, a moment to believe.
7:50 it struck, the clock did chime,
A coincidence, yet it changed all time.

Since class eight, a soft hidden flame,
Unspoken feelings, never the same.
But chats grew deeper, laughter would bloom,
In silence and smiles, love found its room.

On 17th December, past midnight's hue,
We confessed in whispers, shy but true.
Not with those three words loud and clear,
But with comfort, warmth, and drawing near.

Exams came fast, we lived in texts,
Moments missed, but hearts perplexed.
Still, love grew stronger, day by day,
Through highs and lows, we found our way.

But life had plans we couldn't defy,
Dreams we dreamed began to lie.
Yet even if this birth won't let us be,
In the next, we’ll write our destiny.

You’ll always be my first, my start,
A name etched deep within my heart.
And though we're far, this truth won't sway—
I loved you then, I love you always.

A CALL TO THE WRITER WITHIN

Hakim,  
the journey begins  
a step forward  
from where you paused.  

A challenge to dare 
to pour your heart  
onto pages  
for 200 days  

Rise and write  
even when thoughts  
evaporate  
like breath on glass  

Rise and write  
when the words hide  
when your brain go numb  
empty like a room after goodbye

Rise and write  
not because you feel it  
but because you need to  
because world  
still craves 

So pick up the pen
not in readiness  
but in willingness  
Hakim, rise  
Hakim, write  
the world craves
for your voice.

Emotionless

"Sometimes I wonder if you could ever know,
 about my feelings—emotions that I can’t feel anymore."
"I wonder if you could ever understand,
the words of my poetry—But then again, 
poetry isn't about words—It's about all the emotions,
 a writer feels—Meanwhile, I'm not even sure if there's any emotion left in me—After you."                                          
                                              
                                                                  — Beloved
