We’ll meet In a mirage Where real world refuses to exist We’ll sit in our utopia &recall stories in illusion Where ugly truth hides Behind love’s proud strength &dissolve in the centuries old pain Pouring through cracks of heart But souls’d find the reason for being alive #vss365

Bewitching lies Feigned smiles Anarchist mind Cruel kind Racist walls Illicit morals Hazy tomorrow Ceaseless sorrow Seized in waxing gyre Drawn to waiting pyre Falling apart Pining new start Envisioning Yeats’ lion With a human body To save the world from violent ferocity #vss365

Am I a speck of dust buried in the dark attic? Let me remain dispersed in chaotic corners Don’t furl me back I want to rest on tombstone Destined to merge in myself Beyond dark&light Wrong&right What am I hankering after? Is it the endless quest To find myself? #vss365 #soliloquy

We are tiny creatures Feeble & flawed Incomplete & transient Yet, graced by the auguries of nature Rising within the cradle of golden dawns & Resting in the lap of gentle nights & what we’re offering back? Just let the light in & cloak ourselves in mercy,love & gratitude #vss365

We should have stopped When the candlelit sun slipped into God’s pockets In those feeble hours We stole a cup of forbidden love from the cupboard of heart Hunger rose Bodies craved for salvation Now I taste the sighs you left &drink the shadows of last touch #vss365

Waning November Salmon sky cradles the weight of emotions Fervent gold rays yield to winter’s grace Inky red nectar no longer drips from the lips of raspberry vines Silence ferments beneath snow Let’s lean towards heart’s flames &pluck tales where love’s reflection reigns #vss365

I sealed my words within a box &wandered to weigh their worth World refused even a single coin So I flung them into d night sky Moon,perhaps,understood What it means to burn in secret 2light d dark It gathered my wealth Scatterd thm like sacred dust Arose some new stars #vss365

Countless calamities Life's infused w/tragedies Nature crying Somehow we r surviving Adjusting,flowing Amid merciless pain Our hearts know how to hum tunes of peace Every morn brings new hope Eve bless blissful endings Perils may rage furiously Let kindness hold the reins #vss365

Sunflowers strut In the flooding muskmelon rays But droop at the doorway of lilac charm Raging waves dissolve into shore & remind the quiet fragility of the core Flaunting leaf falls to the ground Without a sound Come, my love I'll etch you in poems & make you timeless #vss365

Summer Carrying bloom on her shoulder Slips silently Autumn descends Draped in bronze Tiptoeing in quiet grace Her palanquin borne By the spirited zephyr Leaves sway & Fondled to hum Conscious song of farewell & Poems Clothed in gentle woe Whisper 'where lost dreams go' #vss365

@_Being_Benign Hi Monica, I’ve been reading....Where the Silence Echoes.....and I just had to tell you how much I’m enjoying it. Each poem feels different, like a breath of fresh air. At times, it even reminded me of Mary Oliver or Ocean Vuong..the flow so natural, the expressions so striking

Dear Maria, Your support feels nothing short of extraordinary. The way you letting my words find a place in your heart is a gift I deeply cherish. Thank you, my friend, for not just reading but for embracing my words with so much love. Humbled!! ❤️❤️
I couldn’t resist sharing a glimpse of the beautiful poem "Marmalade Hours", from the book Where the Silence Echoes by @_Being_Benign. 💫 Duskiness tastes like sorbet ☀️ Spreading petals of love in marmalade hours. Love this poem, well, I adore all of them!💖 Enjoy full poem⬇️ 📚
