Words of Magic

I'm back with my next poem folks! It's been a while since I penned a poem for a prompt...anyways, here you go!I once stumbled upon wordsBoth simple and splendid,That conveyed messages in waysWhole verses never did. Yet when I pick them up now,They're magical no more,Weld not verses with magnificenceThey boasted of before.I cannot,though,discard them,Words …

Dreams

My next poem:Lost within my mind,I float atop an oceanOf fantastic so fantastic,The masterpieces of imaginationOf irreplicable nature,I'm entangled in dreamsSo unrealistically bewitching,I'm never set free..Not that I ever desiredEscaping the enigmasOf creating infinite thoughts,Of dreaming steadfast.I ne'er dared envisageOr predict a single dream,Allowed each to unfold,And let a weary mind weave.As the day dusks …

Words Can’t Narrate…

My next sonnet, y'all!Girl walking in the streets,alone at night,Encounters a gang of lust-laden boys,Tries to run, ends up caught, too weak to fight,Mewls tears of pain as they laugh with joy..Left battered and bruised,cold and alone,Left to her suffering and agony,Her dignity destroyed,her respect gone,An unforgett'ble,haunting memory.Sorrow became anger as longed justice,Justice for a …
