"Box of Secrets"/ Gurpreet kaur


 "I have a box

 where I keep secrets.

 Many try to poke me,

 to let them take a look. 

They linger around 

until I let them see. 

I deny most of the time 

But they are unavoidable. 

they try to be my friend. 

So for their constant struggle,

 I reward them by letting them see

my secrets one by one 

Until It satiate their hunger, 

 they admire every piece of it and

 leave soon to find a person

 with new box to fill their curiosity. 

It sounds whimsical,

Is'nt it ? 

But you know,

there is another box I have,

 more arcane, 

no one can approach it, 

But seldom I open it 

when no eye see me 

except the holder of every secret."

Poetry ~ "I'm suffering from you " / Bhupender Singh

I'm suffering from you,  In the freezing winter, In the burning summer,  In the wet-ness of rain , In the dry-ness of Autumn,  I'm suffering from you,  Image credit : Unsplash In the soothing voice, In the disturbing noise,  Under the sunshine, Under the moonlight,  I'm suffering from you,  In the twittering of birds, In the flowing water,  I'm suffering from you,  You are everywhere,  In my heart, In my soul,  In the nature, In every creature,  That's why I'm suffering from you,  You are my pain.. 

Poetry ~ "Arrival of Death" / Gurpreet Kaur

The whole scene happens in a spontaneous movement.

Poetry ~ "Love is a Discovery" / Chelsea Stawicki

Sometimes I wish you were here, Waiting for that gentle touch my dear. I walk alone these misty roads to find what I had lost, Is my own body a prison as I am being covered in frost? The falling snow can bring a sense of hope like tiny stars, Falling from the sky I open my hands up to make me think if this is ours? I begin to think why I felt so hollow? Not only because of my sorrow. Am I just waiting for tomorrow? Maybe one day you and I can follow. Image credit : Unsplash At least I give you a smile, Even if you think it is worthwhile. You may not be here anymore, With your wings until you soar. A heart can be black like night, But a soul can guide you to the light. I always wanted to give you something special, To make it official. Whenever I think of you, I don’t just think it is something new, Because I know it is true, Each star is like you. A star in the sky, Those beautiful wings when you fly, Don’t be so shy, There’s nothing wrong with saying goodbye. Someday… I will fly with ...
