Fragile; Handle with Care.

 NaPoWriMo


Sitting seas apart,

yet under the same sky;

Heavily I hold- all of my beating heart.

Striking off the prices of past heartbreaks,

I wrap it all, for you.

I wrap all my heart

under bubble-wraps of insecurities,

under added layers of fantasies & fangirling;

into a black carton of deep poetry

-written all on your name.

Impulsively then,

the void inside is filled

-with paper grass of endless overthinking

and foam balls painted in patience.

Hastily I fold the paperbacks over the edges

of instant mood swings;

securing the box with tape rolls

of trust and tolerance.

For I know,

a larger piece of my heart

is at risk of being lost

-forever this time.

Yet, firmly threading the ends of a bow

drenched in love,

I fasten a note, for you.

A note that reads:

"To love, I am all in.

 Fragile; Handle with Care."

The girl who loves you,

is not flawless.

She is miles away,

from something perfect,

and further away,

to something magical.

For she knows one thing right,

showering onto you

- all the love of her world.

- J.

    Welcome back. It's good to see you again, was worried for a second there.
    This poem is just beautiful, nobody's perfect but that just makes us unique [perfect's boring anyways ;)]. Also, does seem like your wishes are coming true.
    Hope you continue writing and are doing good, mi amor.

To My Younger Self,

You are a girl. Know how you will never be told  Of Cinderella who killed her step mother later when she was the Queen. Or how Ariel, the mermaid, almost killed the prince  soon after he married someone else. They're all afraid you'd know how a stranger  made love with the sleeping beauty,  all without her consent. You are a girl. You are never told the tales of the strong, of the women with imperfections. They won't tell how adorable your dreams And scars on your wrists are, And how they need not be hidden anymore. You are a girl. You are more than just geometry, or failed attempts at symmetry. You are more than your curved lines and edges and body angles. You are more than your body. You are to grow up to be the woman, With real flaws and issues of your own. Grow up, not to be a princess in wait of her prince charming, to get rescued. Grow up to be the Queen of your kingdom.

Growing Up.

Image
A t the age of 10, The earth for me, was all flat. Disputes often put off/In exchange  of a toffee or two. Watching clouds move  Hunting rainbow tails for gold  And witty stories of the hare, were daily doses of joy. By the age of 15, I knew it all, i thought. Broken vases/forgotten friendships Wishing over fallen eyelashes and shooting stars. Keeping diaries was an art. Love was the boy, With a cute smile and blushed cheeks. I'll be 19 in a month. Is the skin bruised or my heart I'm perplexed. I go on long walks, all alone. One down the memory lane. I knew, Growing up is all magical. It's growing out of cradles and uniforms, Of fancy habits/foolish fantasies, And growing out of toxic men. It's much like  the autumn that sees its leaves  wither and die. For the newborns to gleam all green Under the radiant sky.

Everyday Little Things.

[10] Numbers now are more than just mathematics They're lives and deaths. They're survivors. [9] It's watching the sky steadily spill out  a salmon spread,  seems like setting the sun asleep after another awful day. [8] Now that we wake up to no alarms, but to nothingness. Monday morning blues on a break or are they prolonged until long. [7] How home isn't just bricks and walls, It's the people within.  Baking cakes and family dining, counting numbers, jointly. [6] For how the screens hold us  wholly exhausted and agitated. Many parted from loved ones, longing for their warmest hugs. [5] It's walks not across the streets. But cherishing old Polaroids Gloomy songs on loop, The scents of beloved still afresh. [3] SKIP is all we wish for now. Unaware if the nations Are holding diplomatic debates or plotting strategies to end it all. [2] It's //We are all in this, togethe
