Rose Petal Dust Poem
I: Something that changed everything
Something that changed everything
And yet in the end really nothing
Something so beautiful so hopeful
That turned so painful so doleful
The brain that failed to see the light
The heart that continued to fight
Both suddenly so powerful so strong
The harmony gone, they didn't get along
Everything looked radiant and bright
Overlooking the troubles in sight
The green grass turned brown so soon
The promising buds failed to bloom
Something so unconditional so pure
Obtusely reversed into things unsure
Pieces shattered, dots misconnected
The sync restored, both stand corrected
II: The sync restored...
The sync restored, the balance harmonious
Both trying to avoid the ominous
Focus not on decay but blooming trees
The heart and the brain agrees
But the weather's not on my side
Conflicting thoughts in the mind collide
The brain sees the wither and the peat
The heart yearns to skip a beat
The sweet memories are all that remain
The heart cannot get what it wants to attain
The brain wants to say it was right all along
But instead tells it to see hope and be strong
Leaves will fall, new ones will grow
Happiness in surroundings some day will show
Things may never be like before
But they will be different for sure!
III: Things will be different...
Things will be different, or so I need to hope
Pick myself up, and try not to mope
Taking small steps in the right direction
But with the memories and the same affection
Bigger things will break me, or so they say
Life's much too short for everlasting grief and dismay
The brain knows it all and agrees as well
But can't console the heart, no words to tell
Even being distracted, the mind struggles to cope
Fails to see the other side, any glimmer of hope
But lingering on never did anyone any good
Moving on, as they tell me I should
Want to keep the happiness, the feelings alive
The things that will eventually help me survive
Yes, there are other things, other people in life too
But nothing that will bring that something back for you!

Rose Petal Dust Poem
VII: Give me time...
Give me time, they say it will heal
But I don't want to forget the emotions I feel
But that's not what I'm worried about
Will the future be as happy, is what I doubt
The happiness you feel I cannot describe
The brain continues to blast unless I imbibe
That something warmed the cockles of the heart
Even though the brain didn't want to play it's part
Time stood still, and yet rushed by
The feelings that only the one could amplify
New found braveness, but sometimes afraid
So many words unspoken, so many unsaid
Wonder what crystal clarity would've achieved
Some kind of future I had truly believed
But maybe it was all just a test
To shape oneself and forget the rest
VIII: Forget the rest...
Forget the rest, but really, how can I
Twas the most wonderful thing, I cannot deny
Everything seemed bright even in the gloom
The air was fragrant even if there weren't flowers to bloom
There was a wide smile on the face
That simply nothing untowardly could erase
There was hope in every little thing
The sweetness that was only brought by that something
The very thought of it puts me in a daze
The giddiness, the rush, that certainly did amaze
The worries the anxiety were always there
But a new found serenity, satisfaction and glare
It changed me for the better too
For a good person I wanted to turn into
Nothing ever made me feel this way
That something was special, and is today
IX: That something was special...
That something was special, and so am I
Gotta move on, a fact I can no longer deny
But thinking about it makes me smile
That something was rare, not from an ordinary pile
The heart raced, hands and legs trembled
The words frequently came out jumbled
It was enchanting and deeply mesmerising
To know I could feel this way, twas surprising
Days seemed long, had sleepless nights
All at the cost of hearts simple delights
Everywhere I looked, it seemed to appear
Whether it was with me, far or near
The beats were amplified, the mind restless
The happiness was constant, more or less
But something so pretty certainly didn't last
Fizzled to dust, it faded too fast

Rose Petal Dust Poem
X: It fizzled to dust...
It fizzled to dust, or did it even exist
The mind struggles to see through the mist
The reality or imagination created the sparkly dust
The heart doesn't see sense, but the brain must
Something was most definitely there
A feeling so unique, so beautifully rare
I was completely lost in a world of my own
Nothing needed to be seen, nor shown
But time played it's part again
Or did it really save me from the pain
But that is what I still end up feeling now
Hoping one day I'll be over it somehow
For now I must learn to embrace
Take things slowly, and try not to race
See things clearly to set the right pace
More difficulties in future I'll face
XI: More difficulties...
More difficulties the future will bring
The heart can't always jump, dance and sing
The brain will prepare for the terrible notion
But the heart won't cease to bypass the emotion
I look around to see the world
Feel like in my own universe I'm curled
Had it not been for the life so cushioned
I'd be stronger and perhaps less disillusioned
But what is life without hopes and dreams
Even though happiness is not as rosy as it seems
But it's that something after all in the end
That's makes everything seem worthwhile, godsend
So what if too long it didn't last
Can't simply lock it up and put it in the past
After all it's a part of me
And in my heart it will always be
XII: In my heart it will always be...
In my heart it will always be
The light at the end of the tunnel I now see
But it wasn't that I was afraid of the dark
Was the conflict in emotions, contrastingly stark
Today I feel stronger, both in body and mind
Though the happiness is gone, any of its kind
True happiness now doesn't really matter
There's simply nothing left on life's platter
The brain knows it won't always be the same
Smile and tears are both part of the game
But it most definitely wasn't a game for me
Even if I could feel things weren't meant to be
Enough time's passed, I should move along
If the road ahead's rocky, I'll need to stand strong
New found vigour, but still the sad star
Dreams and hopes will never be on the same par

IV: Nothing will bring it back...
Nothing will bring it back, ever again
So must learn to live with or overcome the pain
A tough decision the brain will have to make
The heart will need to follow for sanity's sake
Leave the gloom in an abstract form
Charge ahead, break the norm
All well thought and said
Difficult to follow the path ahead
Be it dark, steep, winding or treacherous
The storm of fear may seem perilous
The right change is what the mind needs
Something fruitful for all the good deeds
Asking is not what one does anymore
Waiting endlessly makes the heart sore
Leave the future in destiny's hands
But still that something the heart demands
V: That something the heart continues to demand...
That something the heart continues to demand
The brain gets stronger and wants to reprimand
Unfortunately for no one can time rewind
Best to regain peace and sanity of the mind
So focus on the right and not the wrong
Not the things that didn't work, didn't belong
The moments that brought joy and warmed the heart
Snuggling up in the arms was the best part
But the good times make the heart yearn for more
Conveniently overlooking how badly it tore
And even though it keeps beating as it heals
It can't stop feeling the way it feels
So time is exactly what it will get
So the emotions can be rightly set
The brain will be wise and support it for now
And hope for a better tomorrow somehow
VI: A hope for a better tomorrow...
A hope for a better tomorrow I try to keep
Attempting to lock away the emotions in too deep
They're raw, they're real, but I won't let them seep
For this moment in time, they only make me weep
Thought I was strong, better than this
Things were rosy, everything seemed a bliss
The prickly thorns creeped up too soon
Bursting the bubble, crippling the boon
The mind can't help but mindlessly wonder
Why it all happened I often ponder
Life is such, unfathomable, cryptic and intense
More often than not, things just don't make sense
The wise would learn and bravely move on
The rest would wallow, struggle and moan
I don't deny I currently belong to the latter
But give me time, will top the former and be better

XIII: Dreams and hopes...
Dreams and hopes will take new form
Sky's the limit, break the norm
The brain is sensible, follow it blind
Happiness will redefine, even if a different kind
But if I really ponder what that something meant
Fact or fiction, for me was it truly sent
Unanswered questions they'll always remain
Seeking answers henceforth I must refrain
The heart continues to feel the pain
The mind deals with consequences over again
The new things have started to distract
Going back is a thought I must retract
Alas a robot I cannot turn into
Let the mind wander, think whatever it wants to
As long as it's all within reason
After all the heart didn't not commit treason
XIV: A treason...
A treason the heart never did commit
Something went wrong, it must admit
The brain saw sense, but couldn't dictate
Helplessly kept seeing the heart deflate
So bright, so cheery, it wanted to cling
Onto everything happy; dance and sing
Lost in its own world, the bell never did ring
Sadness and lull, only the future could bring
The warnings were loud and clear
But the heart purposely chose to not hear
The brain saw and started to live in fear
Struggled to poison the feelings so dear
Cannot deny, the two continued to fight
Without accordance, resolution in sight
The heart was left in its own plight
The brain struggled to see the light
XV: The brain struggled...
The brain struggled to see the light
If things worked, the heart would have been right
Not a rosy picture, but a clear one in sight
The future would have been joyously bright
But by now we know it didn't last
But the mind keeps swinging back to the past
The dark and ugly shadows overcast
Chase them and move on super fast
But today there's tears in my eyes
Why do there have to be the painful goodbyes
The heart is left with deep mournful sighs
The mind confused why one still cries
Not easy to forget each and every song
That seemed so connected, things did belong
But in the end didn't last all that long
Who was right, and who was wrong?

Rose Petal Dust Poem
XVI: Who was wrong...
Who was wrong I cannot say
But often keep pondering day after day
Thoughts to which attention I shouldn't pay
But the heart simply won't be at bay
Wonder who was right, both if at all
But I lost both the game and the ball
Emotions turned huge from unimportant and small
The brain tried to stay strong and stand tall
But even as I move on, I feel the same pain
Thinking about it the mind must refrain
The brain thinks all the moments were in vain
The heart disagrees, wants to skip a beat again
The past is gone, it cannot come back
Whatever it was, something it did lack
Lot of sadness, but true happiness it did pack
No shades of grey or white, what remains is black
XVII: Black is all that remains...
Black is all that remains in the mind
Fragments, memories, anything that will bind
But the special emotions are hard to find
They're lost, they were precious, one of a kind
Today the mind is back in the same deep hole
New meaning, it struggles to find a new role
Everything is dull, hopelessness is the dole
Now only the brain can control and cajole
And still I think as I lay in my bed
Was it something that I had said
Something wrong between the lines I read
Or simply a different path I didn't wish to tread
Today the mind continues to agitate
Struggles to find peace in any state
His memories the heart doesn't want to berate
True happiness is after all the best till date
XVIII: True happiness is the ultimate need
True happiness is the ultimate need
Don't know if I did a good deed
When I let go of the most precious bead
Someone in the heart planted a seed
Can't say the feelings continue to grow
The rate of pain vanishing is slow
The storm has passed but winds continue to blow
But calmer waters make it easier to row
Not sure how long the calmness will last
The eyes will water remembering past
Any form of happiness will be overcast
New things will just need to distract fast
True happiness will never come back
That special something I'll always lack
The memories the heart will always pack
Carefully preserved, piled in a stack

Rose Petal Dust Poem
Time and time again
Time and time again
The heart will feel the pain
The mind will struggle to be sane
Everything will seem mundane
So build the wall around so strong
Even if it takes far too long
The heart can still sing the song
But the mind won't repeat the wrong
The old lessons did teach
The mind it certainly seemed to reach
The heart perhaps caused a breach
They now feel the pain, doubly each
Questions galore, the mind will ask
In the glorious haze, the heart will bask
Checking reality will become an arduous task
Answer: hide emotions behind a mask
The mind is a powerhouse
The mind is a powerhouse in itself
Will put the feelings on top shelf
So out of reach, won't trust hearts own self
No magic, no fairy, no dust, no elf
The magic was created
The heart and mind, both sated
Open, free, nothing gated
Destiny however remained ill-fated
A leap of faith, indulging in free fall
Happiness forever, the ask seemed tall
Shattered pieces, was a close call
The magic perhaps isn't meant for all
The mind starts to fill with doubt
The heart can't figure it out
The mind wants to scream and shout
The heart silently weeps, no one about

XIX: Carefully preserved...
Carefully preserved it will always be
Always in the past, no future I can see
But will always remain special to the same degree
At least some in life value me for me
Today is a good day, feel no pain
Don't want to sink in that hole ever again
Never got a chance to get wet in the rain
But glad didn't get consumed, didn't turn vain
And yet again, another new day
Feelings unique, confused, won't go away
The heart won't let go, the brain may
No sunlight, no brightness, no hope, no ray
And pessimistic all over again I sound
Can't control the feelings that know no bound
The positivity fading, once I found
But what goes around, comes back around
XX: What goes around...
What goes around may never come back
Even the good times you sometimes try to hack
Need some magic out of Santa's sack
Need the train moving on the very same track
But Christmas is here
And no merriment, no joy I hear
Still holding onto something so dear
Never letting go, do I need to fear?
The heart is relentless with the chase
Keeps swinging back to the same old phase
Causing emotions to stir, expectations to raise
Though life will never gain the same base
And today I feel the same pain
Pondering all this while, what did I gain
But from negative thoughts I must refrain
For life will never be the same again
