You can tell cause I'm asking.
Do you miss me just a little bit?
--Just a little bit baby.

Do you love me just a little bit?
--yes, I am asking you lady.

There are many things we crave and it's almost every day.
There are things we need and want and that's all I'm going to say.

Except (Except)
Do you miss me just a little bit.
--Just a little bit baby.

Do you love me just a lit bit.
--yes, that's all I'm asking love.

Now, only you have the answer to my question.

My screen lights up
Happy birthday
From some unknown friend

The impersonal well wishing from strangers
Has come around again

And then there’s you
Wishing love and success
That my dreams for the year come true

Unfortunately now all my dreams
Come down and back to you

There’s some break in reality
Between the well wishing of dreams
And the truth that is all but broken
Between two once lovers.

Agnes de Lods
I see myself in light and shadow.
I wipe away “always and never” like spilled water,
when the paradox bothers me.

I dissolved my soft boundaries,
in the name of unreal faith.
So many places, so many faces,
yet another beginning.
I keep rolling a big stone beside others.
The home I dreamt of now exists in my world.

I have found this time, this place
describing what cannot be translated:
a room for uncertainty,
farewells and returns.

I like to stand in the last row,
to see tired bodies.
I whisper good words,
to make the world a little better.
My sovereignty is a willingness
to be an echo,
the symbol, the myth,
or a meaningless element
in the chain of woven stories.

I love metaphors.
I find myself in a forest of ellipses,
that bring unbearable truths.

Tensions, contradictions,
awareness that everything that lights
brings unseen weight.

I am a part of stories,
to vanish into oblivion—
the done past.

The Earth still breathes with me,
or without me,
among blooming linden trees.
So, I want to stay,
to open my eyes,
and be with what remains.
To my Father
Your eyes speak to me,
Whisperings of lust,
I view the tragedy,
With my love fufilled eyes.

Don't confuse funicular
With rack and pinion
Or you'll never get up Snowden
There are those who'd argue
But that is my opinion.
Oh wondrous days of youth's sweet grace,  
When laughter danced across my face.  
Each simple joy, a treasure rare,  
In whispered winds, mystery was there.  

The world was bright, a canvas wide,  
With beauty found on every side.  
In every leaf and starry night,  
That wonder still lives, to my delight.  

So let me grasp those moments dear,  
For in my soul, they still appear.  
With open arms, I will create,
The wonder things had when I was just eight.

smoke
from a nearby chimney
subliminally
merged with the fog that spoke covering
like protection
but indeed looked like
silencing screams from the wild.

The Devil
Doesn’t tear you down
He builds you up
Until

You believe you can
Do it alone
Then he smiles
As you fall

And you always fall

I need friend
To spend these empty days of mine
Where I talk to myself
And try to make myself happy

To have a coffee
To drink a little bit
To take a walk
To give a hug

The universe wants me cold
As I live this solitary life.

Everything what goes up must come down. The only thing on this earth that doesn't is your age.

When the world appears in shades of gray,  
Spread joy in every possible way.  
A kind word, perhaps a smile,  
Can make a heart dance for a while.

Our spirits shine through simple acts,  
A loving touch, a friendly pact.  
Make the world your cherished friend,  
Share laughter, and a helping hand.

With open hearts and open minds,  
Let’s embrace all the goodness we find.  
In every moment, large and small,  
Spreading joy lifts us all.

My soul screams for help,
I wanna tell someone,
but I’m all by myself.
Autumn comes.
The leaves fall and so do I.
It’s dark and cold and all I wanna do is cry.
Leaves are covering the ground,
I can hear the storm with all its sounds.
When spring comes there’s new life in the tree.
But I don’t know if there’s ever a new spring in me.

Heyyy, so please don’t mind, if there are some grammatical mistakes or spelling mistakes in this poem, cause English isn’t my native language but I kinda like writing English poems. Just do not wonder why something isn’t correct or something like that.
You told me you missed me,
but that was a lie,
because the only thing you missed,
was the ability to play with my mind.
a soft autumn breeze
tickled the daisies petals
with is finger tips

"Listen to elders"
I always hear here and there
"Even fools grow old"
This haiku is not meant to offend or disrespect elders. While many elders are wise and experienced, the poem serves as a reminder that critical thinking and respect should be earned, not assumed. It's a humorous reflection—not a harsh judgment.

"She is absolutely fine," they said,
"only being sappy"
"Anxiety and depression are nothing—
But an act of madness."


But whatever I do—
It is not done to be happy.
I am just finding my way
to escape from this sadness.

I woke up early that day
but once I peeled open my eyes
realisation clouded them
as reality blinded me,

I fell asleep that day
despiration pulling me away
from the atrocities of the waking world
as I lay in bed crying and wailing,

A bit of me died with you that day
as my heart did fall apart
solemn and invisible
but I still feel you now
and know you never left
because I woke up early that day
to spend more time with you.

Mortal life we can't escape,
death is the eternal fate.

Every day's a feeling grave,
constant minutes we can't save.

Fill your life with joy and friends,
happiness that never ends.

Friends and foes with highs and lows,
feel the Earth beneath your toes.

Fate is one we can't escape,
but we can make the small things great.

Memento Mori.

Too good to be true
Too true to be good
That second one requiers an unfortunate life to be understood

Say what you mean
Mean what you say
I don't see the difference between these statements to this day

Love and loss
Never loved at all
One being better than the other is not anyone's place to call

Keep your chin up
With a glass jaw
Even advice with the best intentions can leave you broken and raw

Time is but a dance
Yet we sit in chairs all day
I sat this one out.

I used to say my life lost its meaning,
But im not sure if it even had it in the first place.
I feel like i took the meaning away myself, and im too tired to give it a new one
Amado es la palabra que en querer se concreta;
Nervo es la vibraciĂłn de los nervios del mal.
ÂĄBendita sea y pura la canciĂłn del poeta
que lanzĂł sin pensar su frase de cristal!...Fraile de los suspiros, celeste anacoreta,
que tienes en blancura l'azĂşcar y la sal,
muĂŠstrame el lirio puro que sigues en la veta,
y hazme escuchar el eco de tu alma sideral.Generoso y sutil como una mariposa,
encuentra en mĂ­ la miel de lo que soy capaz,
y goza en mĂ­ la dulce fragancia de la rosa.No busques en mis gestos el alma de mi faz;
quiere lo que se aquieta, busca lo que reposa
y ten, como una joya, la perla de la Paz.

I ease myself into the uncomfortable.
Releasing the resistance towards the uncomfortable. There's nothing to fear. Breath.

The pain
Of being around
You

Burns like a tire fire,
Hurts more than desire,
Tastes like
Brittle charcoal,
Stings
more than
Any promise you broke,

A tire fire,

Broke.

Being around you hurts more

It doesn’t grow; it lingers.
Clings to ice older than regret, green with memory no world was there to gather.

The silence hums like a forgotten vow, not broken, just orbiting its chance to be said.

Moss dreams in spores and spores of maybe.
Each tendril reaching for a gravity that will not claim it.

This is not nature.
It’s ritual.
A fuzzed hymn to the act of staying where leaving has already begun.

So the comet loops, wearing time’s soft refusal.
And we, the flinch, the breath halfway drawn, call that orbit "now."

To romanticize a life
That never was and never has
A life unlived but loved
Lies wrapped in fantasies

Suddenly walking the street
Softly, calmly, a normal speed
Why is it every time I dream,
I get interrupted by the sound

Of an interior not designed
An exterior not built for the light
A romantic life, but never mine.

It went quiet
Not because it gave up
Bt because it was saving me.

It felt too much
So it chose silence
Over shuttering.

It held the storm
Behind closed doors
So I could keep breathing.

It's not numb
Just protecting
What's still healing

Don't call me back
consider me dead
if it helps you forget.

I am not coming back
I live in the shadows now
far away from your heart's reach.
I have created walls
you cannot breach.

Before you start a war.
you better know the cause,
you're willing to die for.
would you put your heart,
on the trigger?
or would you die,
by the hands of a sinner?

Did you ever make it back?
Did you see everything you wanted to see?
Carve your name into the seven wonders?
Summited Everest and made it your home?
Maybe you flew into the sun
Decided it was where you need to be
Shed human form and let your soul take over
If you did make it back, and you roam like Cain
Come find me
Let me know
If you became the woman
You always wanted to be.
