Azalea’s Recovery Poetry Collection

[BloomingAzaleas]

This thread is meant to be as a collection for all my poems when write them.
May occasionally have venting.

If you enjoy my poems feel free to let me know. Maybe start your own poetry collection too as tribute.

Whispers of death (Haiku)

Down the snowy path
Blows gentle whispers of death
Guiding the lost souls
—
Caged bird

O' scared bird with wings of light
When will you let yourself take flight?
When you can shine instead you flee
Hiding away from the world to see

You build yourself a nest made of concrete walls
So that no one could come and hear your calls
And now you cry, trapped in your own cage
Letting yourself be overcome with age

Now every part of you is yearning to be free
To shine once more and leave this tree
O' helpless bird, your cage is where you stand
But when will you see the key was always in your hand?

当心险蛇桑枝等
跳跃天空最后呼

Dash quick safe tree mom bird flies
Watch out snake threat tree branch waits
Big leap blue sky one last sigh

River of tears (Haiku)

Rivers of my tears
Flow heavy and steadily
Nourishing the soil

Hell (Haiku)

A plunge into hell
To cultivate a new life
And reach towards heaven

Bounded (Haiku)

Invisible ropes
Tie up those who still hold on
Never letting go

Thank you for sharing. Are you Chinese?

Not ethnically, I'm just okay at the language

Flames (Haiku)

A flickering flame
Gives light and warmth to others
Scorching to the touch

笼鸟/Lóng Niǎo/Caged Bird (Wujue)

碎链微开笼
多肌翅膀拍
伤心飞不了
绝望永悲呆

Break chains slight gap cage
Lots strength big wings flapped
Hurt heart will not fly
Lose hope, still stayed trapped

[BloomingAzaleas]

Change and Chains

The same old pattern, the same old shtick
Want to make a change, want to not be sick
But when it's time to fight, at the first sight of pain
Running once more, back to my own chains

[BloomingAzaleas]

Paradox (Haiku)

Break these chains you hold
Become worse to become better
And be born anew

—

 

[BloomingAzaleas]

Sinking (Haiku)

Sinking deeper down
Only once the mask is gone
Does one start to drown
