Could we be the same?
Is this what forms us?
Or it keeps us tame,
And unable to discuss,

The troubles and trials,
The pain and hurt,
The laughter and smiles.
All which we exert.

I keep searching.
Then a look shared
Let's me see what's lurking,
It tells me you were scared.

Scared of your power,
Sweetheart, now you know
You no longer have to cower.
Let your power grow.

It's only a reflection
What separates you and I.
No more rejection,
I bid you goodbye.
This poem is about what it feels like when I look in the mirror sometimes. The self-doubt and negativity that runs through my mind and how by the end, I say goodbye to any rejection of self I have felt and embrace me for me

Life is A big game of
More snakes than ladders
Sometimes it is very low
At other time it betters.

But how does it matters
We have still the Sayers?
Let the life do anything
We are its main players.
Om Shanti Om Shanti Om Shanti

Let’s play it as we like
Let the snake gobble us,
Climb on and on upwards
Even if ladders topple us.

Snakes are the troubles
Ladders are tools to go up
Let both play their roles
Lion hearted say cheer up.

Snakes make us thumbs down
Ladders make us thumbs up
Who take both in their stride
Life they keep cheering up?  

Life is lotus in the slush
Water is ladder keeps it up
Slush like snakes pulls it down
But water still boosts it up.

Both are necessary for life
Both maintain its balance
One coaxes us to move on
The other tests our patience.
Life Is Full Of Failures. Less Successes And More Disappointments. But Why To Worry? Do Duty And Move On.

I stood staring
not moving
but aware
feeling the breeze
and its touch
light as a feather
hinted at freedom
long since forgotten.

Heavy is the gravity
that anchors me
to the ground here
so when a shadow
covered my face
I raised my eyes
and I cheered
as a white bird dissected the blue sky.

With April's first dawn
I started building a wall
that gloom can not climb
This is still so new to me, can I consider this a haiku?
Thanks for the feedback.

For every curtain that is closed
        to the onyx descending.

One is always opened to the illumination..
                                               of a new day...
We may think we settle in to darkness.

But we always awaken to a new day,
         no mater the cloud every one has a silver lining..

Shining on the next blue sky that we swim within,
                                   floating on the breath of positivity..

as the moon softly faded away
again I was left alone
but i know that in my darkest nights
the stars will lead me home 💫
there is always light x

Tune in to clouds
Between thunder static,
devastating news
white cotton noise,
you’ll find soothing hymn.

Find the station
lift your head high
enough, just for now.

Life seems endless,death seems tragic
Lost in crushing defeat.
Doomed to repeat this cycle over again
Deaths cold dark grip on you.

To think you’ve wasted all these years
For how far you've come
The decision is yours,
You may have lost all this time

But you can erase it
Find your dream and pursue
And all the bad memories,replace it
Because life has better meaning
When theres joy in your heart
Purusottam Apr 2020
The wasted years — four years of my life
Demons of mind, battles I'd to strive
The poor choices and all my hidden fears
The mess of my life and unseen tears

Blue Eyes begin to strain and heart starts to race
Can't even face family, friends and a crowded place
Shivering body and a bunch of crazy thoughts
Tightened chest and heavy breathe, the drought  I'd fought

Finally, it's all  over wishing a happy new year
It's the end of 2018, the month of December
2019 — a new beginning I've been waiting for
2019 — a new beginning  I've been waiting for
