Arrow in My Back | Hino Black

I can get up out of my bed…
I can wash my hair and look good..
I can start my day just fine…
I can drink my coffee..
And do my work..
But what can I do…
When I can’t pretend…
When I can’t force a smile..
Like nothing happened..
What can I do..
When my tears keep falling undeniably…
When my heart is breaking into pieces..
What can I do…
When every time I try to get up on my feet..
Life keeps knocking me down..
What can I do…
When this pain is draining me…
When I try my best..
And my best some how is not enough..
What can I do…
When every time I try to be fine..
But the truth is I’m just not………
Fine!…
I’m living my life….like there’s an arrow piercing through my back…
And keeps pulling me under…
And I just can’t move on.

Over rooftops fly
All of my yesterdays
I watch them stretch
Beyond the orange
As they disappear
Into my tomorrows
Carrying traces of the
Woman I used to be

A swallow flew between
Me and the sun and all
Was large and calm in
The safety of mother’s
Garden-arms where
Flowers replaced words
And houses full of mockery
Stood quiet in the shadows

Lifted with rough courage
Through serene days of
Life and death threading
Beads of glass around my
Home of earth and bricks
I found integrity staring at me
Like a graceful and loving gift
I will cherish the then and now

Be That Woman | Lakmi - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

Be That Woman | Lakmi

When your heart is broken
Life an empty desert
And all those who you love
Leave you to pick up the pieces

Girl take that fire
Unbridled desire
Take all that passion
And ignite your ambition

Know that you are
In the centre of the universe
And with your illumination
Even God will be unsettled

Swing with all your might
Dive in, never stop the fight
You are in the limelight
Leave’em gaping at your trail of light

Delicate
Like a daisy
With the strength
Of a long stemmed re rose.
I know they were your favorite.
I bet you picked the petals off
One by one,
He loves me
He loves me not
Until the game was done,
But the two of you were together
Until death you both did part
There was never anything, but love
Always in your heart.

I Am 'Me' | Mehak Gupta Grover - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

I Am ‘Me’ | Mehak Gupta Grover

/ Best Poetry / , , , / Leave a Comment

Yes, I am Me,
Not some other selfish soul
Neither pretending to be good
Nor even bound to be cajoled
I might not be easy
Still, won’t ever be sleazy
I shall not accept absurdity
For, I am Me.

Yes, I am Me
More stronger than ever
More truthful forever
Taking my own decisions
With a positive endeavor
I will be the one I want to be
No matter what situation be
For, I am Me.

Yes, I am Me
Accept me or tolerate me
But won’t ever disgrace me
I might not be flawless
But would never become lawless
I will be the best version
And continue to expand my vigour
For, I am Me.

Yes, I am Me
I live life with no filter
I shall keep walking
On the path of karma
Adding more meaning
Filling more colors
Creating more charisma
For, I am Me.

Larger Than Life | Kenneth Vincent Walker - Contemporary Poetry Website Featuring Notable Poems

Larger Than Life | Kenneth Vincent Walker

From the mundane
To the profound you
Approach everything
With style. Those who
Know your name can

Attest to this fun fact.
Though branches may
Be broken and scars
Show their tracks. Ways
To hide the fine cracks

You’ve come to master
Even though you fight
Depression behind bars
Of your laughter and wit,
Which is no big disaster,

Because you are larger
Than that, larger than life.
Even birds chitter-chatter
At the sight of your light.
So upon your departure

Burn brightly, burn bright.

The wonder woman
Weird and wide,
Worthy.
The limitless woman
The sky of a moving cloud,
A rainbow encircling the stars.
The peaceful woman
Innovative, imaginative
Comprehensive, attractive
Calculative, responsive.
The woman beyond borders
The world across barriers,
Wonder, wonder woman
Women beyond borders.
