Poem-13


the song of waterfalls

Night sky was a playful pink
the happy river was a steady song
singing an azure melody
with an assured flow
and upbeat blues
A sudden drop
of waterfall
came at full roar
Splash
an unknown sound
with a familiar nuance
all the same
the water fall
into a flow
of infinite dreams
Imagination is a superpower. Use it well!

Poem- 14


You stood there confidently

Dreams held my limbs strong
Alive was fear in my heart
Dead were my blue eyes
Imagination is a superpower. Use it well!

Poem- 15



I love you

Blue eyes
Brown skin
Manly man
were you not?
they think
this is what matters?
what we want?
when
an encouraging pat
a supportive smile
a nonjudgemental eye
is enough
for me to adore you
love you
never leave you
Imagination is a superpower. Use it well!

Poem- 16



letter to memories

You know right?
a little girl
waited for you, if you
even remember
to cheer
to clap
to just show up
to be proud
but as she stood there
a lost soul in a crowd
her eyes wandered
to find a familiar face
she kept her expectations low
to be honest it didn't matter to her
if you were there or not, existed or not
foolish were her views I know
but sad was the reality that made
her think of this hard truth
the light that shone
on the stage
blinded her eyes
from the people down below
a hope twinkled
that maybe someone
will stand up and hug
after her performance was finished
busy and working?
heard that all the time
Father; I know I know
the problem was never
your loss presence
but the utter ignorance
of your own blood
your own child
it was easy, maybe
for you but not for a kid
who saw others
hand in hand with their superheroes
sharing stories of everyday
with a smile on their face
and had to pretend to
not care
soon the act turned into reality
looks like she doesn't care
for real now
for her heart was bleeding
sorrow was pouring
yet she didn't realize
what was wrong
a part of her mistook
broken life for perfect reality
Imagination is a superpower. Use it well!

Poem-17


Scared of Self Reality

how do you do this, continue this act, this manipulative talk?
the way you smile, your talks of good, is it even real now?
are all the bonds you made were lies hidden under your selfish skin?
you love it when they call you names, good names
admire you, tho you act like you are nothing
you are so full of yourself
You know what? I am so confused and not sure anymore
all because of you! You hated it when you lost and the other won
still you went ahead to show how great you are, tho I am proud
it took a lot of courage for you to hide the scars and show the smiles
but you cursed yourself afterward,
HIDE you only wanted to show the best of you
SMILE cause they can't know.
SCARED as you though you will lose them forever
It has now become a fixed mechanism fitted inside
for you are not you anymore.
Still hope mingles that this is normal
this is fine..
Imagination is a superpower. Use it well!

Poem-18


Observations

Finely wrapped in the flower petals
a baby was born free
into the spirits of spring
she laughed
cried
smiled
stumbled her way
in a garden full of sweet scents
colorful butterflies
warm sunlight
guiding her way toward summer

fast came the newly radiant sun
an age of sudden outbursts of energy
she learned different pleasures
new fruits
new tastes
she had already left her comfort
her home
an unconscious memory of warmness
she will never forget
yet
the course of the season led her to monsoon

An unending saga of rain of
sorrow?
excitement?
love?
confusion?
a boat sailed with no purpose
on the watery route of teenage
some become mold other mud
the choice was hers to
experience the rain by her window
in the safety of limitations
that will soon turn into
what seems like the end
autumn

She was learning to walk
for real now but autumn
had hit her wish of long strides
the maze of yellow wood
the crackling of leaves
will the mold of monsoon
become rigid or the
mud will turn into dust
the unpreparedness of winter
scared her

Down came the last phase
where everything rests
a breath of cold air
the green is now covered
with white frost
She is in real need of a
blanket now.
Imagination is a superpower. Use it well!

Poem-19


Spicy but fun!

Now comes the regret
nothing compares to the pain
the blabbering spice caused
Imagination is a superpower. Use it well!

Spoiler! :
I love how you've played around with line length (and poem length for that matter)! Using short, snappy lines to convey anger/resentment vs long, smoother lines to convey emotions such as sadness or fatigue can be a great poetic device and you use it wonderfully in this thread.

Poem 19 is painfully relatable xD and the word "blabbering" is so perfect.
When you're faced with something you don't understand, I think the most natural thing but also least interesting thing you can be is afraid.
