When poetry becomes a disease,
and people all too untrustworthy
When a million ideas begin to inspire,
but they all sound just so clichéd
When you are finally barefoot
but the land disappears from below
Or when you’re ready to take flight
but above you spans a sky no more.
Commas, slashes, colons, fullstops:
knives, daggers, tight knots, stones.
When promises lose their sanctity–
of forever, hope, “Forever, I hope.”
There is no use finding meaning, see
Life keeps pouring death into bones.
Beautifully expressed.
Thanks. ❤
I can relate to this so very well.
Beautifully written, like always 😉
Thanks!

You can? Oh.
Many thanks for your comment!
“Life keeps pouring death into bones.”
–Wow Maria. This is very strong. Certainly packs a punch.
🙂
Thank you so very much, stacilys! I am glad you stopped by! ♥
Lovely
Thanks! 🙂
I wonder sometimes, Maria, how do you weave these words. They touch the inner chords of heart. Your words are so expressive and with lot of hidden essence, definitely very personal i presume.
This had come in a rather messy state of heart and mind and I had thought it won’t make sense to anyone else, but guess it did. Thank you for your kind comment! 🙂 Have a great day!
🙂 🙂 It makes sense to like-minded people who can read between the lines 😉
Except appreciating your verses and expressions, i am helpless in rest of the ways. But may be, by sharing your emotions and pains in the form of poems, i hope its impact on you gets lessened.
Have a good day, dear…with lots of blessings from the Almighty…!!!
It sure does! Honestly, I don’t even remember whatever had caused it. It is to me now what it should be to any other reader. 🙂
Thank you extremely much! 🙂 That means to me. Blessings and best to you too.
Ab aap in sab se pare ho chuke ho…:)
Matlab… jab likhne ko kuchh na mile to bhi itna achchha likhti hain? 😛
“And then my soul saw you and it kind of went “Oh there you are. I’ve been looking for you”
Nice line BTW 🙂
I like it too.
It’s from a book. I Wrote This For You.
Excellent!
Thanks. 🙂
What is your thinking process when you pen down such stuff!
Awesome Maria!
Thank you, Mehreen! So glad you stopped by. 🙂
MashaAllah well written!
My fav part was ❤
