i thought i saw you, from a distance amidst the crowd i could run to you and make you remember all that we were all that we probably never will, nahh, it might never actually be you i see you everywhere, yes everywhere unforgotten, that’s what you are to me.
i see you in the morning sky as i give thanks for a new life a new beginning, as every ray of sunshine is your smile your smile, how they made me giggle secretly in my silence how they made me nervous, in an oh, so silly manner ‘cos you to me is the sunshine unforgotten, that’s what you are.
i see you in every book, in every novel, in every poetry i read for each page, each verse, each syllable, and each rhythm…
in silence, i wept for dreams, i postponed for narratives, i kept for emotions, i bottled up for forgetting my true self for pretending i am okay for believing in good amidst the presence of evil for all the nights, i pretended i was sleeping tightly for all the days i fooled everyone with my smile for all the memories i held on for letting you go for making you walk away for being young for being rebellious for being stupid for being dumb for all these years i wept in this graveyard of silence where bodies were laid to rest along with all that, they have wept in silence and in agony in their lifetime on earth

i am pleased to read that this review emphasized on the fact that “It Ain’t Winning If Without You” is true to its title and cover design. why? i’ve read books with titles and cover designs that are not fully justified by its content. for me it’s misleading and unacceptable.
Beautiful collection of poems

Poems are the one which can attack our emotion easily. The author has an amazing quality of target to attract the readers through their emotions. This is a book with full of beautiful collections of poems. I loved each and every line of it. I could also relate to some of the poems so much close to me and I became more emotional after reading some it. The language is awesome and captivating.

this photo prompt gave me a sense of serenity and solitude, which most of us have longed for. this photo reminds me to love and live life to the fullest without hesitations, compromises, or negotiations. after all, when we love and live our lives this way, we will find that serenity and solitude we’ve wanted.
here is prose poetry to celebrate love without the need to adhere to certain norms and requirements of society.
Let Me Be
let me be the one to love you like it’s your first time to love. like it’s your first time to learn the tricks and trades of young and restless love. like it’s your first time to know the ins and outs of two souls, two hearts coming together as one.
let me be the one to love you like it’s your first time to shed a tear over your greatest broken heart, coupled with a fear of never ever feeling the touch of my hand and the taste of my lips. let me be the one to make you think that losing a loved one is not only devastatingly painful but is the most stupid thing one could ever do.
let me be the one to love you without the need to adhere to the crazy whims and caprices of how a man should love a woman; of how a man is obliged to give all that he has and all that he have to the woman of his dreams. let me be the one to love you without settlements to compromise, values to give up, families to let go, friends to release, plans to postpone, life to suspend, and self-worth to lose.
let me be the one to love you without any selfish motives or personal benefits. let me be the one to understand you with compassion. let me be the one to open my mind and release the judgments while talking all the time.
let me be the one to love you and forgive you quickly. let me be the one to love you, believe in you, be loyal to you, and tell you why i love you every single moment.

i was mesmerized by none other than your eyes so alluring, your smile so enchanting. and your lips, oh! your lips how they speak of words only you with a great mind could ever speak of.
it may sound unreasonable for some, but what else is desire if we see reason in it? what else is the power of passion if we wish it to be right from the start? and what else is love when we need a reason to fall? after all, isn’t loving the very reason for love?
my mind could always argue that my heart could only agree on how love is so strong, powerful, and true. for when it is, no amount of rational reasoning could make you even stop loving.
and for that, my dear, i could do the sweetest, the most romantic for you; the sweetest like when Rachel got off the plane for Ross of “Friends”. the most romantic as Heathcliff of “Wuthering Heights” declared that he is one in body and soul with Catherine.
i am your only Rachel, and i will definitely get off the plane for you. i am your only Catherine, and i am certainly one in body and soul with you.
i will love you with the love of the eagle to soar higher. i will love you with the love of the flowers for the sunshine. i will love you with the love of the moon for the sun. i will love you just as much as i have loved you back in the days when we were young and careless.
the birthplace of my love for you is from somewhere too far to walk, from as far away as the most unreasonable desire, the most devastating hope; a place where reason isn’t reasoned at all, and hope, no matter how devastating, remains hopeful.
“It came from somewhere too far to walk, from as far away as the most unreasonable desire, the most devastating hope.” – Sharmishtha Mohanty in Thirty two nights and dawns

Beautiful poetry book with different themes!
Reviewed in India on 16 August 2022
This book is a collection of poems themed on our day to day life, challanges and the difficulties we encounter.
It has been divided into several parts. The work of different individuals can be seen here. Different thoughts, different opinions, different prospective about life has been penned down. Topics like, Somewhere, How, Love, After Dark, Beathe, Alone, Song Lyrics and Peace are there.
‘Song Lyrics’ by Kristine Joy Verdeflor Scianneaux, is a very short poem but I liked it the most. Here, the poet has expressed emotions very beautifully.
Sad hymm or lovely melody whatever it is, if we are happy, if have a clue about life then it is all music to our heart.
The language is lucid, the expressions are beautiful.
