Music,
a language everyone understands,
bringing its essence to life,
provoking variants of emotions,
like Orpheus,
creating melodies that cured but sorrowed his people.

Its importance,
like a mystical forest,
containing unknown melodies yet to be discovered.

Coldplay,
creating songs that unraveled as we aged,
relating to our deepest feelings and desires,
provoking different emotions,
ones that the crowd can deeply connect with together,
providing true memories to cherish.

Music heals,
like those who provide the utmost genuine love,
giving it to those who need it,
creating euphoric and serenified moments,
preventing flashbacks that had caused sorrow.
This poem expresses the significance of music and how it affects our lives.

Your beautiful eyes are my jewelled crown,
In their depth, all my stars fall down.
A universe spun in sapphire gleam,
Where love walks softly through every dream.

Your darling lips—my sweetest cure,
A balm of flame, both fierce and pure.
With every kiss, the night turns gold,
And time forgets how to grow old.

Your gaze, a spell that bends the air,
Turns silence into sacred prayer.
And when you smile, the heavens sigh—
A blush of dawn in a twilight sky.

Let kingdoms fall, let empires cease,
If I have your breath, I have my peace.
For no throne shines, no fate is sure,
But your lovely lips—my only cure.

So wear my soul like silken gown,
Your eyes, my fate—my pride, my crown.
And in your arms, I seek no more,
For love like yours is worth the war.

How much hurt is too much hurt,
to not get hurt again?
How much hurt is too much hurt,
to let tears run dry?
How much hurt is too much hurt,
for no more left chest pain?
How much hurt is too much hurt,
to never stare at ceiling by nigh't?
How much hurt is too much hurt,
for throat to run dry
How much hurt is too much hurt,
to swallow hard before a word
How much hurt is too much hurt,
to never ever react again

aren't we still friends?
I know a lot bout you,
Yet, I don't.

Aren't we still friends?
we had tons of conversations,
yet, we couldn't come to conclusion.

Aren't we still friends?
the memories play inside me
like the movie never ends-
but, we ended.

aren't we still friends?
Just young soul's discovering their path.
Would it be fair to judge?
so, are we still friends?

Well, how could you look at me and pretend,
I'm someone you never met?
Are we strangers now?

she still wanders,
In search of an answer
-akshitha
A poem that asks: aren't we still friends?
I look through the window,
Head full of blight,
Staring into the pitch of night.

I was writing something about a feeling,
But the message I forgot,
Am I losing the plot?
When you come home, I will hold you like you deserve to be held—delicately, reverently.
You wont ever have to lift a single thought.
I will draw the pain out of you with every warm touch, soothe your body with the rhythm of my breath against yours, and I will pour all my energy into the parts of you that ache. You deserve peace, you deserve the softness that you carry within yourself so easily.
Rest in me.
Let me gently put you back together again, and make you whole.
Written as a collective, both of us as one.
Don’t  
         blame him.  
        Don’t blame  
      her.
Not for the  
     betrayal, not for  
   walking      away.  

       The heart,  
          is  
     a world of  
     changing weather.  

           And  
         people?  
        They dress  
    for the storm  
          they  
          feel.  

      You were  
        summer,  
     they felt cold.  

      You were sun,  
   they longed for shade.  

         Don’t  
       blame them.  

      Even skies  
      can’t hold  
  one season forever.
Some people's hearts change, like weather.

Canceled all my other plans
had conversations with nothing but our eyes

I hear your name and forget to concentrate
I call you in the middle of the night
Can't even tell you why,
Just felt like sayin 'Hi'

You fidget with your keys
Constantly glancing over your shoulder
With every glance pulling me further into something vast
The deep moisture in your eyes
Something inescapable
Finding reasons not to leave

Riding extra slow
Take the long way home
Get a little too close
Almost said ' I LOVE YOU'
Tryin' to hide the chemistry

Got drunk somewhere and talked about the future with you in it.
Getting chills with every accidental touch

Convincing myself there's nothing
One look into your eyes
And God! There's something

But hey,
We're just friends.
Ever had a day that made you go gray
Ever had a day you'd wish to go away

For sale by owner open wounds,  

how we where bliss in empty rooms.

Finding myself on the border of emotion,  

can't handle all the commotion.  

You gave me the love potion

If only I could fly away
to a much brighter day  

Rather that my wings where clipped away.
Beneath the weight of the moon, won't we
resemble all these shattered constellations

And finding a good place to feel sad; is my
reflection melting out of your eyes– a scene
of when tears cascade down your cheeks,
when I always seem so far away

As the echoes of all bygone aspirations fade
into the hue of cosmic dust; my voice fails in
calling out your name – as every fallen star
falls out of its spark, betrayed by the dark

In Time, and Again… is where we rediscover
the essence of falling in love again.
