SECRETS & SHADOWS

The difficulties of life

Every time I close my eyes and I try to introspect

I fall back into a deep sea of thoughts

Just when I think I have hit the rock bottom

I come to know it is just hurdles and stones

The goals to achieve are hidden in dust

And the purpose of living has become a lost cause

The time has come to shed some light

To give it all a thought and prepare for fight

The pain has become a welcomed guest

Anger and torture are a daily test

I lost the race at every phase of life

People see what they wish to see

The secrets are hidden, where they should be…

I wish I had secrets, good kind. I fear I have none that are supposed to be unless we are just like that naturally as time goes on and people begin to be less and less known because of a lack of shared experience or time. etc.

[Cerise]

We all wish we had secrets of good kind...sadly that is never the case...

"Anger and torture are a daily test".. This individual line has defined the story-line of this heartfelt poem. By the way, what you anger`s `bout? Are you angry on me? Well.. i`m very very sorry if late night... we done "too much" at party. I apologize for that.

(Kidding) Hha ha ha
I can`t stop laughing now. Haha!

Anyway, hey... I think, you`ve raised your skills in a year. I meant, your RHYME! Whao! It`s so good. Your all modern poetry`s are so good to read. I`m enjoying `em! ;)

I don`t know, how to make an angel blush... can you please define it? I meant, i`m very innocent, I don`t even know the real meaning of "blush' ... flush.. hush ... or do I? (KIDDING) Ha ha ha hah a ;) Ah! Come on, fancy.. if I`d no time "for" you then what`s a "worth" of my time? It`s all for you, fancy.. so, am always happy to use it even devote it to your beautiful poetry`s ;)

[Neon]

You again make me chuckle ;)
Oh.. no no.. I won`t say "thank you" because, in friendship.. I`ve heard.. there`s no sorry or no thank you. Something like that.. so, don`t worry.. i`d be awaiting to have that color of blush on your beautiful face.. By the way, my cheeks`d too like to get red.. Ah~ No way.. not get struck on ...by your beautiful hands but by your red lips ...what you say? Don`t worry, I won`t take advantage as long as you won`t push me on the meadow and order... to love you with the heart ;)

[Cerise]

[Neon]

Oh.. yeah.. that balances the relationships but .. Umm.. that makes a relationship more cool either.. Isn`t it? Ha ha. Oh, Yet, I haven`t taken you on a date? Really? But, I thought.. late night.. we`d.. Oh, nevermind.. It was a party when we were drunk. No worries, I`ll take you to my heart next time when you`d allow me to .. (Joking) ;) By the way, Do you like Meadows? Lol

[Cerise]

[Neon]

Ah! I`m a devil.. fancy and devils don`t make such dates.. where chocolates and flowers becomes the reason of disturbing souls. I only look right at into the eyes holding hands gently and whisper in an angel`s ear.. cause, as you always mentioned that ... my words`re enough to conquer anything an angel looks desperate for alias.. my words`re nonetheless than any chocolates or flowers... am I right, beautiful? ha~

[Cerise]

Ahhh ur wonderfully fabulously smartly awsum thoughts are as usual right my lord...

[Neon]

Lol.. even that`s why i`m a king of devils and you... the queen of angels ;)

[Cerise]

Thank you..

[Matching Socks]

Sometimes we have to take charge and mold it as we feel is best.
Good write.

[Cerise]

Thankyou for review.....

[Sophy Freebirds]

Life is as you accept it to be..If you have a fighter instinct you will fight it up with the courage of your heart and if you are weak enough you will succumb to the trials.Depends on you,do you wanna be a victor or a loser.Liked the theme of the poem about the huddles in life but it has a pessimistic touch. Still good. :) keep writing friend.

[Rene Salinas]

This reminde me of the journey of a very notable man it is known that he walk many, many miles through and his encountered the Essenes and he was told that they had discover that the boundless soul had the abillity to encompass what we know what we don't know and what we will never know. When I read your writing it gives me that feeling of certainty and uncertainty and resignation to embrace that there are aspects that we will not be granted access.

Thankyou
