Poems

Sarcastic Lovers They look like a perfect couple, if you squint–she rolls her eyes, he nods and smirks,Insults land softer than kisses, affection disguised as barbs, and that’s how their love works.Every compliment has teeth, every “I love you” lands with a wink,They trade blows in public, but in private, it’s not as cold as […]

Silence of Your Heart In the silence of your heart, I stand at the threshold, my hands trembling on the doorknob of every word unspoken,Afraid to name the ache, afraid to breathe too loud in the darkness we both pretend is safety.Each night, I wait for some sign–a flicker in your eyes, a tremor in

Romantic Comedy It’s supposed to be laughter, clever banter, and grand gestures under city lights–But our story’s a B-side cut from the final reel, all tripping over words and silent Uber rides home,We’re not Meg Ryan and Tom Hanks, we’re two people missing the punchline,Awkward hands at dinner, jokes that don’t land, romantic moments drowned

Routine Love (Let’s Break the Mold) We are two ghosts at the kitchen table, marooned by comfort,Living the same week for years, one cycle to the next, coffee reheated and conversations pre-chewed.Dinner arrives by habit, seven sharp, plates clink with the same practiced complaint,Phones come out like armor, fingers scrolling for something to break the

Rise Again Eyes snap open in the thick, starless night,Bridges still smoking behind, torched by the truth of escape,Every promise left burning in the rearview of memory,Faint voices claw at the silence, familiar, relentless–Haunted by what’s gone but alive because of it,Born a second time in the sting of tears that refuse to cool. Shadows

Romantic Bullshit Flowers on the doorstep, cheap chocolates in a heart-shaped box, and another bland card with words that sound like noise–But real love never looked like the commercials, never dressed itself up in symbols for girls and boys.You wrote a poem once, called me your muse, scribbled nonsense about starlit nights and destiny’s kiss,But

Pixelated Love We used to hold hands, now we hold controllers–our romance split-screen and low-res,Every conversation paused by a boss fight, every kiss delayed for a power-up,I’m watching you level up in fantasy worlds while our real-life stats plummet,You’re lost in dungeons, I’m lost in longing, the gap between us measured in gigabytes.Your headset’s on,

Popular Fads This is a museum of fleeting obsessions, the temple of the next big thing,Everyone’s an influencer, every day a performance,You buy the new phone, wear the new shoes, chase the new diet–Today’s fad is tomorrow’s landfill,But for a moment, you belong,Dancing in public for followers you’ll never meet,Perfecting your “casual” smile for an

Relationship Status: It’s Complicated We’re stuck in the purgatory between strangers and lovers,A pair of ghosts haunting the same rooms, sharing the same bed,But never quite brave enough to call it home.We text all day, emojis and memes as our substitute for meaning,Pretending to be close but always keeping a secret distance–Every conversation another detour,

Numb from the Need to Feel In the city’s bruised heart, where midnight is currency and secrets are traded behind locked eyes,Dreams collide in back alleys flooded with harsh light–A cold blue glow that spills over skin, hides more than it reveals,Truth shrinking from every glance, every bargain, every lie sold as hope.Here, every shadow
