Watermark

~ thereluctantpoet ~ 3 Comments

Has anyone in your life left a – WATERMARK on your soul???

Megha's World

This poem is a continuation of the micro poetry. Read Branded.

“Where there is ruin, there is hope for a treasure.”
― Rumi

They say
you left and I kept living
like nothing ever happened
Oh I’m so
emotionless,
frozen,
numb
to the core
and nothing
can ever move me for sure
nothing can falter me anymore
They say
I’m callous,
frigid
stand the test of time
and don’t repent
my lost love
a heartless serpentine
They detest me
for being
coldhearted,
a witch,
a bitch
they say
You snatch away the hearts of the
careless lovers
and leaves them to rot
in the back alleys,
anyways
They say I cannot be trusted
with their precious hearts
as I don’t
weep, 
mourn,
wail 
the loss
of my precious heart
nothing seems to break me
or can break me as a whole
Oh! though I don’t have
the welts,
blisters,
or the scarred…

My heartbeat

~ thereluctantpoet

Come read and listen to – MY NEW HEARTBEAT!

Vishal Dutia

Each beat feels like a muffled rumble,
Like it’s too hurt to beat all the way.
Between each beat is a pause,
That makes me think that my heart is going to stop,
But without fail,
The rumble starts again.

Quiet and slow,
Without any rhythm or flow,
It spreads like an echo.

Love And Fear

~ thereluctantpoet

Come and read Sarah’s – LOVE AND FEAR.
Love is always stronger than fear.

Sarah Doughty

“Maybe this is the end. The end of us.
And maybe, you won’t disagree.
That scares me the most.”

There’s always that voice in the back of my head, warning me of what may happen one day. The inevitable moment when we are no longer an us, but you and I. When we go our separate ways, alone. I wonder what that moment will feel like. And I try to prepare myself for it. Every day, I prepare myself for those moments to happen, and then the day passes and the fears begin all over again. And sometimes, when you look at me, I think to myself that maybe this is the end. The end of us. And maybe, you won’t disagree. Maybe those will be the words that leave your mouth. And that. That scares me the most.
