Poetry Bin

[HanaApril]

Hello and welcome to my 𝒫𝑜𝑒𝓉𝓇𝓎 𝐵𝒾𝓃 where I post my poetry I write. The reason why I wanted to make this thread is to show my work and possibly get feedback on it since I’m still a novice at writing and like to improve my skills. I write for therapeutic purposes only and not for fame or being popular, though being somewhat recognized would be nice. So please enjoy and always

Note: I will not be posting any more poetry of mine at this time due to me wanting to take a break from it for a while. So please enjoy the ones I have on here for the time being and let me know what you think of them. Thank you~

Constructive Criticism Is Welcomed

Rebirth

Buds begin to blossom.

Swiftly yet sublime.

A sense of serenity arises.

Certainly springtime.

✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦

Luscious

A sensational aroma.

Sugary yet ripe.

Cinnamon and sugar.

This pastry is a delight.

✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦

Fortitude

Deep within the crevasse.

Awaits an emotion.

To blossom once again.

And take back it's revenge.

✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦

Recoup

Broken and bruised.

Never to be whole.

A twist then happens.

And all is fixed.

✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦

Aspiration

Longing for serenity.

For once in my life.

Awaiting the chance.

To be brought back to life.

✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦

Ameliorate

Broken yet mending at a steady pace.

Thoughts of the past now distant memories.

Never again thinking of them only me from now on.

The life I want to live at my little homestead abroad.

✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦

Aspire

Gazing up towards the big blue sky.

Admiring each cloud as it passes by.

Feeling the warmth of the sun on my skin.

I begin to smile and feel joyous once again.

Longing for this moment never to end.

In hopes that one day I can share this moment with a friend.

✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦

Facing My Fears

Facing my fears.

Finally letting go.

Tomorrow's a new day.

Let's get ready to roll.

 

✽ 𝙼𝚎𝚍𝚒𝚞𝚖 𝙿𝚘𝚎𝚖𝚜 ✽

 

Jubilant
 

A jubilant day is what I seek.

So please right now happen as we speak.

Since what I feel now is so bleak and dier.

I need some help or I'll expire.

But wait for a minute I feel something now.

It's beginning to surface that old jubilant sound.

I just thought of a memory I almost forgot.

A time where I was happy with you and mom.

So I hold onto the thought now dear to my heart.

Never letting go while staying true.

That one day I'll feel more than I used too.

So now here we go and there's that smile.

So say cheese for the camera and make it worthwhile.

✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦

Listless

There's nothing at this very moment to do or say.

So at this moment right now I begin to pray.

Praying to something to give me strength.

In order to move or do anything for Pete's sake.

To stop this listless song go on and on.

But nothing seems to work so I then dread on.

I guess now I just have to wait and see.

For maybe the next day is better for me.

✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦

Irritation

Eyes stinging with pain.

While birds sing.

I groan than laugh.

And wonder why this lasts.

The constant sensation of irritation.

Everywhere is going numb.

And now beginning to feel dumb.

Why did this happen to me?

Why now of all times?

Just need more sleep.

That's all I ask.

For a week or two.

That be a blast.

✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦

Ecstatic

Ecstatic is the word of the day.

So let us begin so I don't begin to fray.

I know now it's time for a new chance at hope.

Hoping things go well and not revert.

I feel so much bliss it's hard to contain.

That I'm finally getting a puppy and its name is Bane.  

He's here on a mission to help me see.

See what friendship can really be.

I know we'll have so much fun to many days to come.

And I'll never be alone again so that thought is done.

✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦

Smug

I am smug to my heart's content.

That I have overcome my incident.

I was lost and afraid and very ashamed.

But now that's gone and I am saved.

Saved from my despair that caused my pain.

I feel once more alive and well.

I can conquer anything.

I don't look back and keep moving forward.

For that's the past and now I'm fully back.

Back to my good old self a happy content lass.

✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦✦

It’s Not Goodbye It’s See You Later

I'll terribly with out of doubt miss you when it's your time.

Be sad I can't see or feel you anymore when you're not by my side.

How much I wish you could stay a little bit longer with us.

But I know it's your time to go now, to finally be free of pain you feel deep inside.

To run through endless fields of gold while the sun shines brightly on you.

To see all the rest of our family once again and rejoice to the reunion.

I know deep down it's not the end but yet the beginning of something yet to come.

A beginning of a new journey ahead of you and I that one day it will be my time as well.

One day I'll be there too with you and all will be fine.

That we're together again since you and I are best friends spending it in paradise.

Repose Of A Samurai

I awaken from birds nearby singing their songs.

As I get up slowly and begin to head outdoors.

I slowly step down the stairs through the grassy path beneath my feet.

Walking with purpose silently and steadily.

Nature surrounding everywhere as I walk.

Beautifully enigmatic from far as you can see.

I hold my sword close to my side as press purity on.

Then loosening my grip more since no threats are on.

I gaze up towards the big blue sky as I stop in my tracks for only a moment to spare.

Breathing in the purity of the fresh mountain air that surrounds me.

I press on but with no haste or destination.

To just enjoy each moment that time has given me.

I head towards a small stream a few feet ahead of me.

Finally stopping near the edge I look down at me.

In the reflection, I see a proud young woman who carries herself well.

I  being to smile down at her as she smiles back at me as well.

One last time I gaze up above through the treeline staring at the sun.

As it shines down at me illuminating everything and everyone.

I say quietly to myself. " This is what true peace looks like. "

Then slowly close my eyes saying goodbye to paradise.

Tuesday at 11:03

I gaze above looking up at the beauty I see.

An old tree with tiny little buds sprouting from thee.

A reminder of the past and how young I once was.

A smile then creeps on my face with a small chuckle inside.

With a memory of mom baking her special apple pie.

The good old days have certainly come and gone.

But my memories will never fade of you, my dear mom.

As I place my flowers down on the stone where you lay.

I then lean down and kiss it and say good day.

I grab the chair from the side of the tree then sit towards you close.

Then I begin to speak and talk about the good old times we once had and shared together at home.

As well as new things that are happening to me now in my life and a new home with dad.

Time seems endless at this moment of ours and I truly wish it wouldn't end.

But it's getting dark outside again as the sun begins to set.

As the lamps nearby light up to illuminate the grounds for people to see.

I get up from my chair and lean it up against the tree.

Then place my hand on the headstone once again.

I say goodnight mom I miss you so, I'll see you again when I'm really old.

Talk again on Tuesday at 11:03 for that's our time for us to meet.

I begin to walk away from her gave not with sadness or grief.

But a new sense of purpose and hope that we finally made amends, even if it was the end.

I cherished each moment we had together even when things became hard between us.

I always deeply loved you even if I didn't show it.

I walk away to the car and get in and begin to drive away.

But before I do I gaze up at the moon and smile big.

Knowing that you're watching me from up there above.

Guiding me to new and wondrous things ahead of me I do not know.

I hum a song as I turn down the street out of view and head home.

Knowing I'll see you next Tuesday for our time to chat.

Since that's our thing and I'm glad for that.
