All year long he puts my heart on a shelf
No surprise I’d rather be by myself
If there’s no Valentine treat
From this worthless hunk of meat
He can go on making love to himself
Remember there’s an “I” in Valentine
So if no one’s around to say, “Be mine”
Just splurge – get a new hairdo
Party with an all-girl crew
Check out the divorce rate and say, “I’m fine”

goodbye, memory,
Lost loves remembered from pages turned brown
They read like letters from scattered debris
I tear them from love's book to be thrown down
To build their funeral pyre for me
These yesterdays I have folded in time
To cast in the flames where memories cry
Colored smoke floats upon the air to climb
I can see them rise in an endless sky
They leave worthless emotions of fool's gold
With its dung rich charcoal and flames which weep
These timeless memories will burn until cold
Then fade into ashes so I can sleep
Thrown in the blazing flames of yesterday
I watch each love lost, burn slowly away

My piety,my poetry ,my love
All are in vain
my music, my love ,my mind
All are running insane
My rhymes are all crooked
I can't write a perfect song
Looks like my life is worthless
my music, my poetry its all gone
Behold the paradox,
In these old rhymes
living in a worthless life
All these times
The music's almost over
just need to turn out the light
I need just one leap
Need to show on last fight
I need to create something
something that makes you feel
the goal isn't to live forever
Its to create something that will

stop pretending you care, you never loved me
but your eyes filled with bliss my every day
i know i'm not her, i'm not trying to be
all my hopes of acceptance will fade away
polite words of love do me harm
stop saying things you dont believe
i could cover my corpse with your arm
but its worthless since you shall deceive
i dont want to admit who you are
the purpose itself is in vain
depressed angels could start war
seeing my dieing reflectons of pain
please tell my weak heart you cant
you are not, you shall never be tru
for,my love,deep dreams i shall haunt
everytime black leaves are drowning in dew

lost love,
The furtive temper of your quiet eyes
Was nonchalant with shrouded reasons kept
My love so humble from your death it cries
A poison pain drawn from life's blood wept
Precious pearls traced my face from weeping orbs
They came to rest upon my empty palms
To quell the worthless death my love absorbs
Rest of days, ascetic life offers alms
I'll wander finished through the years alone
And keep instruction with my beggar's heart
This rummaged soul another love won't own
To never more suffer a love's depart
My love will turn a darker veil of shade
The only love I'll know will never fade

contest English Sonnet...Lost Love
by Kurt Ravidas |
Categories:
love, poetry,
The dawn is fragrant with a ruby rose,
the sunset smells as somnolent as blue
night violets... In fragrance they compose
its head and tail but heart belongs to you.
An intricate experimental prose
(not actually popular), a new
ambiguous poetry... These two compose
my blood and flesh but soul belongs to you.
An everlasting transience I chose,
a wanderlust, a hatred for a queue
and noisy neighbors... All of them compose
my worthless life but death belongs to you.
This weird sonnet came along due
to no longer I belong to you.

daughter, father, life, love, sad, day, me,
Never being there hurt you so
Desiring to help me grow
Help my childhood progress
It made you feel worthless
What AM I taking about?
Cause day in day out
You missing me was a joke
You never loved what you broke
Another too lost and scared
Though I can’t say I never cared
And I can’t say I’m not sad
But even you should know dad
That never coming to see me
I dealt with to a tolerable degree
And that I’ll always question
When I’ll hear your confession
Will I ever get to see you dad
Or have I truly been had
I guess I have to wait some more
‘Cause it’s always you I’ll be looking for

fear, friend, life,
Lurking just beneath the surface
I bubble up when you most need me
You'd love to think I'm worthless
Then you're glad there's what to feed me
I assume the shape of motivation
When you need to be ambitious
Though I can make you shake all over
Thanks to me, you realize your wishes
Without me you'd never make it
Through life's thorns and brambles
I'm there to push you when you need
To take big risks and gambles
Please welcome me when I appear
Perhaps by now it's crystal-clear

childhood, life, poems,
i was created, much like a poem
not through love, rather penned
on a blank sheet of thoughtless words
that were spit out in darkness, devoid of feelings
wallowing in emotions that left me numb to touch
as i watched them ink me from the pools of crimson tears
that riddled every line of torturous scars atop child's flesh
then crumple me in little balls, and discard me as worthless
i wasn't their masterpiece, they never signed their name
i was the least favorite poem they ever wrote

emo, feelings, heartbreak,
I’m broken inside and can’t feel.
The damage is done, I can barely breathe.
Ripped apart and torn to pieces,
My once strong heart is now deceased.
I keep recalling the messages in my head,
Making me wish that I was dead.
So much of anger, so filled with hate.
I must be the reason for our love to dissipate.
I never wanted it to end this way,
theres so much more i needed to say.
but i guess he just had enough of me,
even after apologising immensly.
So here I am alive, yet dead inside.
All I know, my best, I have tried.
Left feeling completely worthless.
Falling apart and still nobody notices....

love,
Fatherless Motherless
I am lonely in this planet
And my world is boundless
Where is the sea?
Where is the narcissus?
I am entrapped among wings of birds
In this planet
And I have no wireless
In this unknown world
Do wear the love as necklace
Around your heart
And plant the lotus
Don't denounce the sense
Because love is priceless
And love without sense is useless
And the life is few minutes and maybe less
Because of loneliness
I am hopeless
And my love is worthless
So, without you
What is the value of love?
Please guess....

leaving, lost love, love, love hurts,
Why should we be in love though it’ll end?
And we both know so, so why should we start?
Knowing that our feelings and time in vain spent
And we gain nothing but the aching of the heart
It is a matter of time till our parting
I think we should not better commence
A journey that has a joyful starting
But shortly in sadness and tears ends
Stop using your heart and use your mind
For the heart sometimes be so reckless
Think of our alleged love and you shall find
That our exertions will be worthless
Teenage love shall give us nothing but pain
And we may love each other, but in vain

abuse, blue, conflict, cry, dark, depression,
I stand alone
Weary whithering
Like a fading bloom
Deep within a forest
Shrouded in darkness
Beneath the towering trees
That took my daylight away
I'm suffocating I cannot breath
Smothered by creepers
And fallen leaves
Forgotten worthless
Void of love and tender care
I let out a primal scream
My pain so much
That goes unheard
I am pecked clawed by scavenging
Carrion bird
Life is a heavy weight chained to my heart
That curses my being
And is tearing me apart.

death, life, love,
I have been dead for many years;
entombed in a mausoleum
of viscera and rigid bones.
There were no prayers or eulogy
spoken on my worthless behalf.
Within the tomb lies a stone-cold,
dead heart and a extinguished soul.
Both suffered a long, lonely death;
its cause was flagrancy and strife;
until one day she came along
with an amorous kiss of life
that resurrected my remains
infused them with vitality
and a different man was reborn.

Othello was in heat of passion’s fire
Being truly locked in love with his desire.
Seeing Desdemona gave the Moor new life,
Eloping in the night to make her wife.
Soon Iago executes a devious plan.
So, Othello will think Cassio’s his wife's man.
In Othello’s eyes, she was a worthless shrew.
Obsessed with rage, his lovely wife he slew.
Not long after, with his sword he kills self too.

absence, beauty, lonely, longing, love,
It's still alive, the rose he gave
Coral pink like the blush of our cheeks
It's life makes my own so worthless
Thriving upon nothing, for weeks
They say that colors make the mood
I don't live by what others say
I only pick the ones I want to hear
And then I go on my way
If he is happy I know not
I only know this old rose is still pink
If the sky is crying, let me cry too
Washing away each tear as I blink
Fading as each day passes by
But faithfully retaining it's hue
Lying nostalgically beside my bed
Stunningly against the wall's blue

There is a little girl,
Thrown into the cold,Worthless is what she is told.
She is beaten,abused,and then left on her own.
Their words cut her to the bone.
echoing in her mind,so many times.
Ugly,Fat,not tall enough.
Everyone that she thought was close,Shows her distrust.
Her heart feels like its going to bust.
Her mind is filled with so many thoughts,
Of how everyone could be so easily bought.
She feels that love is something she can no longer find,
But this Society still climbs

Birthday
I am a citizen of that country
Today is her birthday
Surrounded by barbed wire,
Waiting for the command of firearms
I think that everyone has birthday
Somebody knows, somebody doesn't know
Sometime valuable, sometime worthless.
They have countries, they have rules
Mathematical formulas are known
They have birthdays, festivals
Then the red , black, white, how many countries
They have birthdays.
If give up all the barbed wire, discrimination
Mothers would be same with the smell of soil
Mother would be human being
Then birthday of the world, to me, your, everybody
So today I feel
My birthday has become one of the world's birthday.

romantic,
In winter's coldest blast or summer's heat
Contentment reigns with you here by my side.
My heart behaves with strong and steady beat.
Small pains and woes, I easily abide.
If by some chance my love should be denied
And you're unwilling to stand here with me,
How worthless then all future life would be.
Forgive me love, if unto you I cling
And seek your promise you will always stay.
For like a lonely bird with broken wing
Perhaps I wouldn't last a single day.
Don't treat my heart as it were throwaway.
Love comes but once for some of us, it's true.
A lifetime's worth of love I bear for you.

Baby, you remind me of a bunny,
sweet loyal and trustworthy
you always make life funny
when we're not together, i miss you badly,
you notice things no other man bothers to notice,
when i look into your blue eyes i see the true me,
my exes made me feel worthless
that's why i believe in our family,
when we speak i feel the love
when you smile at me i could swim in your dimples
our hands fit together as snug as gloves
and one hug from you makes life seem simple
I'm so happy you are my boyfriend
i never want this relationship to end.

What does it feel like .. to have No Heart
You who gets off on ripping others apart
Their Love is a Gift for you
Yet.... you feel nothing
It is all about power
That is how you feel big
In your imaginary world
You are better than them......
I wish you could see .....
You may have it all.... But yet...
You are Blind....
Wait the love you destroy is what you need
Why are you so afraid
Have you been hurt so bad.....
I will ask nothing of you...
I concede to you
You have won...
My love is worthless ..... In your imaginary world.....

angst, depression, teen,
It’s hard for me to breathe
Where I’m from.
Stuck in a small room
By myself,
Hopeless and alone.
Feeling like a burden,
A useless and worthless person.
It’s hard for me to love myself,
Feeling like My Heart Is on Fire,
No way to put the flames out.
Can’t get out of this
Small room,
Arms and Legs are on Fire,
Paralyzed.
My soul is gone,
Along with my faith,
Faith in God and myself.
My Body is on Fire,
Suffocating,
Unable to breath.
My hideous face,
Filled with scars,
Reminding me
How ugly I am.
My Face is on Fire,
The last bit of me gone,
Forever lost,
Forever gone.

betrayal, depression, grief,
Now it's flooding back to me
(Somebody close that door!)
I'm fading into misery
That I've already gone through before
Why did I fall, why does it hurt
Why am I scared to simply love?
My heart is shattered, my heart- it hurts
Even praying to God above
I can't run from all these memories
(Somebody close that door!)
I'm dying here, please let me out
My pains are on the floor
Nobody really understands
and I feel that I'm always alone
Won't somebody pick me up softly
and carry me back to my home?
Silence here, it's killing me,
But no silence in my head anymore
I understand I'm worthless, so please
Somebody close that door.
