The Price Of A Smile

It’s tradition, they say, a cultural game,
To bargain, to barter, to whittle down names.

and the hollow ache of returned footsteps.

The Illusion Of Living.

They say, "Why suffer? Life is short."
So they wrap themselves in ease,
trade sweat for softness,

Unspoken Codes

He moves like mist, smooth and slow,

Beneath Their Gaze

They see her hands but not the work,

to them, she is always someone’s guest,
never the builder of her own home.

Their eyes are heavy with belief,
not in truth, but in...

Your poem really resonates with that feeling of being lost in a world full of deceit. The way it captures the struggle to find truth while battling doubts and corruption feels raw and real. It's like you're stuck in a loop, searching for answers but unsure of where to look. I really appreciate how the repetition adds depth to the feeling of being trapped in those wonders and fears.

Such a profound reflection on the journey we all undertake in search of what truly matters. It’s easy to overlook the deeper treasures when distracted by fleeting things. Your words gently remind us to keep searching, even when the hunt feels endless.

Your poem beautifully captures the many ways love fades, each one as haunting as the next. The progression from the river of tears to the frozen heart is so powerful. It’s like you can feel the weight of it all. I hope, like you, there's a heaven for lost loves too.
