Indigo nights
Just one glimpse
On those angel blue eyes
And I can’t stop my dreams
Making me dream of indigo nights
Where it’s just us two
And no one else
Such perfect little heaven
Never-ending summer nights
With stars above sea
Beach that has no one else
That perfect warm summer wind
Gentle waves in warm seawater
I want to get lost in these indigo nights
In real life
Not only in my dreams
I want the real indigo nights
Because these dreams ain’t anymore enough
I looked little bit too long into his eyes
And now I’m falling
For real
And not only in my dreams
To someone maybe I not ought to be falling for
At least according to my best friend
Because she hates him
But I don’t care
Because I just can’t forget those angel eyes
Nor the indigo nights he makes me dream about
I want those indigo nights come true
And I don’t care is it wrong or right
All I know that I can’t stop dreaming about this love

The Pilgrimage
In the darkness of the nightEvery road turns into a nightmare Whenever she fades awayInto the distant memories I find myself submergedUnder the incoherent words Not every cloud turns into rainNot every pain paints a masterpiece Between me and her memoriesInfinity looms large, larger than the universe And then I start my journeyTo find out her grave, once again… ©NilavroNill 19th September 2026 NilavroNill Shoovrohttps://poetnilavronill.wordpress.com/2026/09/19/the-pilgrimage/

Can’t any longer resist growing hope
When I look at you
I find heaven in your eyes
This wasn’t what I planned
Because I swore I would never fall in love
Never again
Yet somehow here I am
Falling yet again
This wasn’t what I had in my mind
But I can’t any longer ignore or deny the mark we share
Is it fate or destiny?
I don’t know
Other than it freaks me out
Too big of coincide
To be ignore
Or try to pretend it means nothing
No matter how hard my head is trying to scream at my heart
It is nothing
But my heart can’t resist
The growing hope
Telling it is sign of something
Bigger than just a coincidence
Throwing words like sign, destiny, fate…
Like it’s such natural thing to do
While my head and heart
Are on a war again
And more time goes by
More hope grows
While I have no idea what any of this means
And only thing I can do
Is moving forward on this path I am on
Have faith that what’s meant to be finds its way to me

The forgotten melody
Over the years
It had slowly faded away
In the way
Even the memory about it
Had been forgotten
Lost somewhere along the years gone by
Being buried underneath
Everything
The good and the bad
Especially the bad had covered up so much
So much had been lost
And forgotten
Because all that bad
Had covered so much over those years
Buried so much good underneath
Like it never had been there
Erased even from memories
That this being forgotten
Wasn’t even surprise
Not at this point
But what I thought
Was gone forever
Apparently it wasn’t
Because here it is again
I can finally hear
The quiet return
Of a forgotten melody
That my heart is playing again
I never thought I could ever hear it again
Yet here it is
And it is all because of you
You brought back
Part of me I didn’t even know I could have ever
The forgotten melody
Is back playing in my heart
Fixing a part
Of my broken heart
I never knew how to heal
Something that I had accepted
Would remain always broken
But now
As the forgotten melody
Has return back to my heart
That was never able to heal
Is slowly mending and healing
After all these years
Only because of you

Dreaming summertime love
Don’t know how you did it
But you make me dream about
Summertime love
In the moonlight under the summer starry sky
Way I never thought I could dream again
Like my heart would never have been hurt
Or broken part in the past
No you make the love feel
Like falling in love at first time
And it feels so amazing
I didn’t know love could feel like this
Ever again
But you took heart that you hadn’t broken
And showed it was safe in your hands
You really did show how love should actually feel
Instead showing what should have never been called love
That I had been through in the past
More than I like to even admit
But you banished the shadows of the past
With love so pure and sweet
Swept my feet’s off the ground
With your heart of gold
That beats only for me
And made me dream of
The summertime love in moonlight
You made me believe in love again
You’re the love
I never thought could be real
Yet here you are
And I don’t ever want this love to end

We Can
Dear readers, this is a poem about two people who found each other after years of silent connection, lost their way because of timing and misunderstandings, but chose to try again. It celebrates second chances, emotional maturity, and the belief that genuine love is not measured by age, but by commitment, understanding, and the courage to say, "We can." it was inspired by my long time friend situationships. We met in a place where silence had lived,Years of unseen moments quietly passed […] -
Haunting my dreams again
And he is in my dreams again
Dream after dream after dream…
And he just keeps appearing in them all
Haunting my dreams yet again
Truthfully I rather have him
In my dreams
So vividly almost like its real
Than having yet another nightmare
Being right there in his arms again
Tracing outlines of tattoos on his arms
Being so in love
And being so loved by him
And I can’t let go of that feeling
That I get while
Being right there in his arms in these dreams
To have little bit of secret heaven
That no one knows about
It’s all mine
Even if it’s just in a dream
And won’t last long
Still for a little moment
I’m right in those arms
And being so loved
To have that moment is priceless
Even when it’s just a dream
And not real
I’m able to recall that feeling
It’s the reason why I don’t mind him haunting my dreams
So I welcome that ghost back to haunt my dreams

Clouds (Phillip J Rhoades - 2026/06/10 08:35)
My Love, be the clouds in my sky.
Free me from that empty blue lie.
From the hateful sun you'll shield me,
my blissful shaded canopy.
And whether you are fog or storm,
I'll seek you out in any form.
Rain down on me from places high.
My love, be the clouds in my sky. -

Gifted By Allah ❤️
Written by Daud to Habiba as per fiance request, her Gift from Allah. Habiba,Sometimes hope arrives quietly,Not with noise, not with promises too big to hold,But through simple conversations that slowly make the heart feel safe. And maybe that is what I see in us. Two people listening carefully to each other,Two hearts trying to understand before judging,Two souls meeting gently beneath Allah’s timing. I know life has not always been easy for you,But flowers still bloom after heavy […]https://fedhajnrblog.wordpress.com/2026/05/27/gifted-by-allah-%e2%9d%a4%ef%b8%8f/

Gift From Almighty
Poem of appreciation for our 'beloveds' to show hope to them. Dedication to lovers. Gifted One,Your name feels like comfort after storms,Like warm light entering a tired room,Like a dua finally answered quietly.Sweetheart,A Gift From God does not arrive with noise,It arrives gently,Changing a heart without force.And lately,That is exactly what you have been to me.A Gift From Almighty in soft conversations,A Gift From God in late night smiles,A Gift From Allah whose presence makes distance […]https://fedhajnrblog.wordpress.com/2026/05/24/gift-from-almighty/

Habiba
For Habiba, from Issa In the quiet hours after Maghrib light,A name reached my heart so calm, so bright.Not through crowds, nor the noise of the street,But softly, where two written destinies meet. Habiba,Your name sounds like sabr wrapped in grace,Like a prayer whispered in a peaceful place.And though oceans and borders stand in between,Allah writes stories long before they are seen. I may be in Buffalo beneath winter skies,While Kitale’s sun rests warm in your eyes,But distance is […] -
You Are My Person – Poem by the Pesky Poet
When the sky is dark,
And the way unclear,
I don't care,
Because you are here.
***
When things are bleak,
And life's uncertain,
I don't worry,
Because you're my person.
***
When the world is loud,
And I'm drowned out,
I don't mind,
Because you're about.
***
When my mind is panicked,
And things just worsen,
I calm myself,
Because you are my person.Share, if you’d like. If this post stayed with you, you’re welcome to pass it on.

Each tender petal dreams that you are there.

So does my heart when your soft name drifts by. 🌷✨

Cosmic Seduction
by Crissy Bliss AddamsI am the Sun.
When I want, I flare—
violent, naked, solar.
I ache like a star
on the edge of collapse,
my gravity begging
to pull you in.I am not soft.
I am slick with hunger,
primed to consume.
I want your orbit wrecked,
your breath stolen,
your body trembling
in my heat.I don’t crave—I consume.
I want to taste you
until gravity breaks.
Let me orbit your pulse,
tongue tracing constellations
only I can name.
Let me hear you collapse
into pleasure—
a supernova
on my lips.I don’t crave—I devour.
I want to make the constellations
forget their names
As they observe me take you.Let me eclipse your reason,
split you open
like light through a prism.
Let me swallow you whole
and spit you out
reborn in my fire.
