Alone with My Loneliness | NilavroNill Shoovro

During the periods of stipulated flashbacks
Memories may not always be smooth or soothing
The pages of the wary calendars
Under the color of my melancholy ink
May not forget nor forgive the pain
Yet I would love to be alone again.

My heart will never burst into laughter
Nor will cry in rain
Flashbacks of the scenes may not survive
With all the clocks in my hand,
For they are the silent warriors
Dead, but fought in vain.

The next day is always so crucial
Fighting against all the odds
Yet the motion seldom walks along
With our dreams or feel at home in accord.

If you think you win or it is a defeat for me,
All the days are numb, crying silently
Morning brings nothing but wary nights
Passions grow old from everyday fights,
Let me put it straight for ages to come;
Not time but moments may matter to some.

Hoarder | Cord Moreski - A Poetry Website Featuring Poems by Contemporary Poets

Hoarder | Cord Moreski

Jerry decided that morning it was time
he was finally going to intervene
with his wife about it all—the crowd
of dead houseplants in the bedroom,
the dusty magazine piles towering
like mausoleums in the hallway,
the mound of dishes choking the washbasin
in the kitchen, and even the scattered pictures
hung on the walls displaying people
from families they never knew.

But before he could find the right words,
the loose leg of a dining room chair gave out
sending shoeboxes full of figurines crashing
along the living room floor. And just like that,
his wife appeared. Dropping to her knees
with a roll of tape in her right hand,
she splayed her left hand beneath a maze
of used sofas and leaning end tables
as she searched for missing porcelain pieces.

“Help me!” she begged him. “Help me
put back together my Precious Moments!”
