a poem about life


FUTILITY 
By Peter Rose

The angry wind searches the darkened land,
The darkened land scowls at the restless sea,
The restless sea hisses frustration on the shore,
The shore shrugs its sandy shoulders, and carries on as before.

We humans seek ever changing stimulation,
We humans are frustrated with out novelty,
We humans are never content to let things be,
We humans are prime examples of futility.

Only humans think time drags so slow,
Only humans regret growing old,
Only humans inflict boredom temper on all,
Only humans think God should come when they call.

The Gallery Of Unspoken Words by verd1ana

The Gallery of Unspoken Words is a collection of poems that captures the quiet ache of admiration from afar-where longing is painted in glances, devotion is sketched in shadows, and love exists in the spaces between words never said. Each poem is a brushstroke on an invisible canvas, depicting the artist's silent devotion to a muse who may never know they inspire such beauty. Through soft whispers of ink and delicate strokes of verse, this collection explores the tension between distance and desire, the bittersweet nature of unseen admiration, and the art of loving someone in silence. For those who have ever watched, adored, and created in secret, The Gallery of Unspoken Words is an intimate portrait of longing-where love is an artwork that never quite leaves the easel.

She is an outcast. She finds it easier to express what she feels in the form of writing. Whether it is poems, letters or long texts. These are poems that she writes trying to describe how it feels to live with certain mental health issues, in a world that disregards outcasts. So, these are on the darker side of the spectrum. Some poems might be distressing for some readers. I personally enjoy consuming dark content, it's kinda like a coping mechanism. I really hope none of you relate with any of these :) I'll be posting only poems here, I'll try to be as active as I can. The poems are not in any order. They are just the thoughts that pop up any time of the day. (8.11.2023) PS: Please check out 'safe space'. I need your help to make it a real safe space, readers!

Tatiana Carpenter built her career on perfection. Billie Eilish built hers on authenticity. When the music industry forces their worlds to collide, sparks fly-and not the good kind. What starts as rivalry soon turns into something deeper, something neither of them knows how to handle. As studio sessions bleed into stolen glances and secret fears, Billie and Tatiana must decide: will they protect their image, or risk it all for something real?
