“There is no need to see the whole staircase
in order to take the first step,
a simple pace created by one step
delivers quicker paces leading to the others”

endlessly escalating
to the sound of your footstep,
losing count and the last memory
of every single one.

Reaching the higher level
with the mere touch of ones weight,
brought into a state of complete ecstasy.

the constant production of the adrenaline,
sending the mind to an emotional state.
different thoughts, different emotions,
takes its turn on every step

divinity becomes visible as body and mind
become one, taking a step is of no further use.
The velocity of every step dismantles;
every pace, causing severe flotation.

time sending the arms behind,
the molecules of the body
struggling to keep up with the speed.
Love being the vitamin of all,
restraining energy while taking over.

Gliding towards the infinite,
surrendering oneself to the endless power
known as true affection.
The state of bliss created by
the bravery in taking the one step.

the eyes have opened,
and the first step is still standing solid
in front of the huge staircase,
pulling the leg back looking at the staircase,
happiness rushes and purifies the soul.

Every step taken in the direction to home,
making the distance between the staircase and oneself,
broad and open. The healing has begun the thought
of accomplishing the infinite climb,
is the antidote to everything

One pushes oneself to the limit gathering
experience embarking throughout ones life.
An instant change emerges, where
the body declines this staircase
and settles the mind at the top.

Further living provides the healing to all
and all will be healed for disease
will be blown away like dust .

“The infinite climb attains an entire lifetime where oneself
decisively becomes and experiences the antidote to entirety.”

embarking the ship of life, reaching
the outer world of clouds, is the fault of
success the mind has reached.

An easier way to the clouds,
without the harsh hatred and sadness,
by working your feelings through every step.
That is the mind, the puzzle machine,
the unlimited search of codes to ways of life.

“The world will not stop living, riding with a constant role
neither will the tactics of success every step teaches you.”

eep. Chandni, you know how I struggle with your poems ^^; I enjoyed a bit of the beginning, the first three stanzas or so, but it still got confusing. But, for once, I think I understand why.

It seemed to be about something simple made complicated. What were you writing about? As far as I could tell, you were writing about someone enjoying walking up stairs. XD And then it got all abstract and talking about things that I couldn't understand and seemed really... abstract. Which usually happens with your poetry.

It was also lengthy, and I hate long poems.. *shrug* I think you should fix the capitalizations in place. Gosh, I'd love to see you write something I could comprehend, haha.

Hey Chandni.

I'm unsure why the first stanza, and some of those other stanzas are in quotes. Do they really add anything? Considering they are in the same style as the rest of the poem, there seems to be no reason for them that I could gleam.

every pace, causing severe flotation.


I didn't like 'flotation' there. It seemed out of place, out of flow.

the eyes have opened,
and the first step is still standing solid
in front of the huge staircase,
pulling the leg back looking at the staircase,
happiness rushes and purifies the soul.


You use 'staircase' here twice, in close proximity. Considering the word is a stressed nightmare, I would limit it as much as possible.

Those quotes at the end sound like Confucius... or maybe something you'd get from a fortune cookie. :wink: I'd either make it less cryptic or drop it altogether... which may ruin the poem, but I don't see much going for it. Best of luck.
Perception is everything.

Now she was feeling big and gritty and full of passages. 'Are you all right?' Granny nodded, and opened her windows. She extended her east and west wings and tried to concentrate on the tiny cup held in her pillars."
