Triolet Poem #25

I’m still writing poems ‘bout you. You just cannot escape my mind. I’m a shade too dark without hue, I’m still writing poems 'bout you. Let go of the wrongs and doubts too, you’ll be amazed by what you find. I’m still writing poems 'bout you, you just cannot escape my mind.

"About You", JP

psalm of the soul.

//night seasons//

here i've been wondering if there's anything left of me.

i realize now that Satan has been getting the best of me.

they tell you to get up when you've been down for so long.

but what is a fast recovery when the trauma's of the soul?

unanswered questions discourage me every single day;

my lips have become so numb that i've forgotten how to pray.

i've hit rock bottom, a place i'd never thought to be.

and unless God delivers, this will be the end of me.

'how did i end up here?', is the question on my mind.

unrepentant sin has added up over time.

my boyfriend tells me i'm beautiful and i can't help but cringe,

because the outside may be pleasant, but it's a terrifying within.

this is where i've been lately; i have to be honest.

Lord, please, remember me, and please, remember your promise.

Life’s Beauty Marks

learning to love and embrace your ACNE beauty marks. nature is gorgeous.

i love my blemishes,

a new scar everyday.

my flesh is alive

and that’s okay.

they’re only beauty marks,

graced on the space

on my back, up my shoulders

and on my face.

i love to be alive,

with skin that breathes.

the strength in my guts

puts me at ease.

they’re only natural,

you’re human just like me.

don’t let the vigor on my vessel

be all you see.

-I.F.L 🫁

I read between your lines, to write what we could never be

I read to live in poetry, to write the poetry that you are to me

I read our story, to write how our story will never come to be

reading and writing, knowing you’ll never be here with me

~ In Awe ~

Verse 1: when you were born i saw galaxies in your eyes you clutched my hand like you knew I was lonely you have never let go at night when you’re sleeping you visit planets in rocket ships gravity doesn't apply to you you can fly and we have always known chorus: little moon boy How do glow so brightly? your sweet smile can light up my darkest dark little moon boy I can’t keep you here with me there might a kinder world Hidden between the stars but little moon boy while you’re traveling send me a picture of you smiling wherever you are.

Singing Flower of Eve and Mary (Gnostic rhyme poem)

A serpent poured soothing wisdom into Eve’s ear

For her to eat gnosis fruit for unborn Seth

So its seeds were entombed in her soul without fear

This gnosis remained unborn and without breath

Christ himself, the Word, flew into Mary’s ear

So breath and life itself entered her sleeping womb

To become the awakened babe, so now hear

The flower of gnosis singing out of the tomb

Let the sun burn me

You said I should love more easily

but maybe i was torn

you forgot that roses had thorns

and maybe we could've handled it better

burnt the polaroids we had

turned them into castles of dust and sand

so i went straight for the kingdom

should've never gone a step ahead and called you my lover

never trust my weeping head on your shoulder

your eyes sent meaningful messages to mine

and i felt like I was dying the whole time

a crooked smile and tired eyes

how could I not fall for you

fall into that dread which was never meant for two

and maybe then things were different

you used to crack all the jokes

but now I spend time drinking our poison all alone

I was dead before that autumn

should've never gone a step ahead and called you my lover

We started hating each other when we were sober

you were charming now only in dreams

and it would've been so much better if you were lost at sea

"You were the best thing that has ever been mine"

that's what I had said

wished i could see ahead

And maybe it wasn't just your smile

i fell for your eyes

the way you lit me up inside

and now my heart's on fire

Nikkah

You came into my emptiness,

I didnt love you I confess,

Meeting after meeting,

My heart was sadly beating,

Trapped in a dark past,

Feeling this will never last,

Forbidden love my desire,

All passion and fire,

You were there,

But I did not care,

My heart and mind elsewhere,

To you I wasnt fair,

With time my heart fell,

All under your spell,

obsession and craze,

You have become my gaze,

My mind and heart eternally bound,

For in you I was found,

My existence sound,

My love profound,

Ghosts of my heartache,

Where never my fate,

False lust and ache,

All they did was take,

But you have given me the world,

With you I want to be curled,

I ignored and took you for granted,

As ghosts lured me in and chanted,

But Allah showed me the way,

You are my night and day,

For in your arms I will forever stay,

With you I completed half my deen,

All the sins of the past wiped clean💚

Rhyming Poems: A Guide

Hi again everyone :))) Thanks for the amazing response on my previous post (Constructive Criticism: A Guide)....I'm still shook by how much it took off! Anyways, here's the latest edition of my writing advice column, all on the infamous rhyming poems <333 So sit back, grab a cuppa and let's delve into this notoriously tricky writing form.

Rhyming poems. We've all written them, generally in early primary school when we first read Dr Seuss. They seem like the most basic form of poetry; a clear structure and form that is easy to adapt! And throughout history, rhyme has left its mark on almost all of the iconic poetic works; whether it be the infamous Shakespearean Sonnet, the more modernist verse narratives or even simple nursery rhymes.

So despite rhyming poems being the first poems that almost all of us encounter, why are they so tricky to write??? Here are the main reasons (I've listed them here so when we talk about conquering the rhyming poem we can overcome these hurdles):

Rhyme limits the choice of words. Poetry as an art-form is EXTREMELY dependent on word choice, especially because so few are generally used (unless you are writing an epic). With rhyme, we can no longer have the freedom to choose what words fit....this makes it difficult to communicate a very specific and tailored message

Rhyme greatly influences the meter of a poem. While not all rhyming poems have to be as fixed of a form as sonnets (think iambic pentameter), there is definitely restriction of syllables, line length and verses in rhyming poems. This becomes even greater of a problem when rhyme schemes are introduced (think ABAB structures).

Rhyming is hard. This is perhaps the most obvious but greatest factor that deters poets from rhyme. It is hard! It's hard to rhyme and not sound like you are writing a clapping game. It's hard to rhyme and have a solid structure when you're delving into the fluid metaphysical. It's hard to create something stunning when you are so restricted!!

So with all these factors in mind, here are a few tips I've put together to make this writing form easier. Keep in mind, rhyme, like any other poetic device, is most effective when used in moderation! Be careful with how much you add! It's like sugar in a tea; some types taste good with entire spoonfuls while others require just a dash.

My biggest tip for rhyming poems is try not to close yourself in too early. Unless you have specific word pairs in mind, always try and end your lines (which are in the rhyme scheme) with easy-to-rhyme words. For example, instead of using "morning" , you might use "day". Of course this may seem like you are replacing sophisticated words for simpler ones but often these words are the ones that carry the most meaning and make your work accessible! You can also try for some nice metaphors to fit into these scheme.

Try and find rhyming pairs! Often when writing rhyme, it's hard to find suitable words that fit your message. Find words that rhyme and have a similar kind of 'vibe' BEFORE writing your verse to avoid this problem. For example, a key conceit in my upcoming sonnet is situated around the words "ebb" and "web".

Don't be afraid of half-rhyme! This is such a good way to get out of the 'clap game' trap that rhyming poems seem to fall into; it almost seems to break out of that strict form and allows you a bit of space to play. You can use half-rhyme if you have a key change in your poem or simply scatter it around to keep it fluid and moving. For example, Seamus Heaney (if you've read my other work, you'd know I'm obsessed with his stuff!) often uses half-rhyme in his Glanmore Sonnets as a subversion of the traditional Irish Sonnet. Half-rhyme also puts a modernist touch to the more traditional poetic forms :)

Finally, use all the tools at your disposal! I've seen so many 'professional' poets saying "Don't use free online rhyme programs" but imo that's just rubbish. EVERY POET USES EVERY TOOL AT THEIR DISPOSAL! I can say that from my own personal experience; I've published poems in some nice poetry magazines and I always use those dumb rhyme-zone tools to find the right words! They even have modes to find the "percentage" of rhyme so you can effectively utilise half-rhymes in your work as well. Don't discount these tools and don't feel like any less of a poet if you use them. THEY ARE DESIGNED FOR YOU; USE THEM!

So with that, I'll wrap up my rhyming poem guide. If I come up with any other tools, I'll add them and if you have any tricks, feel free to reblog and add as well :)) Rhyming poetry is hard and even if it doesn't work out quite as nicely as you intended, don't feel disheartened! It can take years of practise to master this form! But for now, happy crafting and feel free to share your work because I'd love to read it :) Re-blogs and likes are always warmly appreciated, as well as con-crit for my articles <3

Happy crafting,

Hics <3

Rose Colored Romance

TW: mentions of domestic violence and s/h

all red flags look normal with rose colored glasses… you deserve better.

He knows when to be tender by the swelling of my lips.

Says we’re making love despite the bruising on my hips.

It feels like I’m in heaven every single night we kiss.

But by the day his horrors stay and lets me slit my wrists.

-I.F.L 🥀

Passenger princess✨👑

Not me sprinkling chaos on the T-L

This late but what the hell

Best believe the nosy always smell

Like sharks in the ocean

Take the bait, it’s intel

Messy took the bite

crumbs along the way

Leave a message, something to say

You’re always more worried about others, hearsay

so go ahead ,log out, be on your way

take care of yourself , no matter the day

Goodnight till we meet again ✨🌙
