Loud Mind [poetry]

Introduction

Like I mentioned in the description of this book, my poems are mostly ridiculous and don't really deserve to fall into the poetry category. But I'll continue to write them anyway because that's the only way I can freely express myself.

Here's my favorite poem from my favorite poet Rainer Maria Rilke :

PATHWAYS

"Understand, I’ll slip quietly
away from the noisy crowd
when I see the pale
stars rising, blooming, over the oaks.

I’ll pursue solitary pathways
through the pale twilit meadows,
with only this one dream:

You come too."

Here are some of my other favorite poems

MASKS

"She had blue skin,
and so did he.
He kept it hid,
and so did she.
They searched for blue
their whole life through.
Then passed right by--
and never knew."

-Shell silverstein

This one is from 'yesterday i was the moon' by Noor Unnahar.

TOO AFRAID

"I am too afraid
of people who have souls like hometowns
warm, forgiving and too kind
that even if you leave; even when you leave
will always welcome you home
remember you with your family name
I am too afraid
of something too homely
when every breath coming out of my body
is shaped like leaving."

And three of Mark Anthony's poems because I love him and I seriously recommend you to read his collection of poems 'The beautiful truth' if you haven't already.

"I want to tell you
that when I look at you
I feel an attraction
I can't explain
as if your body,
your mind,
and your spirit
had already been
imprinted on my soul
as something beautiful,
and something rare,
and something
I could never explain,
even though,
God knows
I've tried."

***

"She walked into my life
the way a new song
comes on the radio
that you've never heard,
yet somehow,
it immediately
becomes part of your soul."

***

"And one day
she discovered
that she was fierce
and strong
and full of fire,
and that not even
she could
hold herself back
because her passion
burned brighter
than her fears."
