If You Knew | Mikayla Wyndham

If you knew where I’ve been
I bet you would turn away,
Avert your eyes, move
Imperceptibly farther away,
So unpleasant is my story.
I’d like to share it with you
But I know you can’t handle it,
Just like most things. I guess
I’ll just continue pretending
That we’re a couple and
Dream of a time when I have
Someone in my life who
Actually cares.

Father and Son Love Redux | G. S. Katz

Fathers and Sons: Love Redux

My dad wasn’t wordy
I can’t remember affection
He never told me he loved me
If he did, I don’t remember it

Strong silent type he was
I grew up quiet
Till I started to speak more
Then everyone wished I’d shut the hell up

My mom told me my dad loved us very much
I wanted to hear it from him
On my wedding day he said it
Collectively in a toast he pronounced his love grandly

I always wanted more from him
I wanted his knowledge, his craft
He’s gone 20 years now
I’m still trying ……

Sea, Shore and the Sky | Amrita Singh - Read Poetry Online by Talented Contemporary Poets

Sea, Shore and the Sky | Amrita Singh

The day breaks into a crimson dusk,
Pastels merging into the bright chirpy hues,
The sea stretches to the horizon Unabashed hopes of a rendezvous with the sky

The shore seeped in love, surrenders to the sea,
The sea unrequiting:unloving,
Ebbs away with life
Sprawling death all over across the shore.

Since centuries, the Shore has begged for love from the Sea
Since centuries, the Sea has loved the sky.

Neither attaining what one wishes to have, nor belonging where the heart lies.
Reflecting the rays of the sun on itself, shore beckons out to the Sea…..

While, entranced in ethereal beauty of the Sky,
Sea strives constantly to endear
Spurned, rejected, the sea returns to the shore in the night,
Her cares are caressed into oblivion by the all giving lover

Yet again, then, she turns rejuvenated to the sky
The shore waits endlessly for the Sea, with silent sighs.

Joyous at dusk, the shore lives on; for those moments
And
Lovelorn Sea lives on for the dawn to meet the Sky.

Most of us evade as the Sky
Some of us are the Sea,

Very Few, like the Shore, stand by.

I Love You | Sinethemba Simlindile Bhila

I love you with my heart
I feel melancholic to see you
Disregarding me
I love you
Please just understand
Give me enough time to show you
How much I love you
Never think i want to break your heart
Never think i want to play with you
I want to you true love
I am the type of a boy you think i am
I am here to put you in my warm hands

I love you!
I love you !
I love you!
