Watching you through those tinted windows
I see a trembling soul trapped inside a beautiful rose
Wounds of past are what you have chose
Over this recklessly silly lover of yours
Bundled in pains this heart wails of your woes
I do see them even when you don’t wish to show
Songs of our existence once which sounded mellow
Now fails to penetrate the depths of your lows
Melancholic my days pass by drowning in your sorrows
Helpless and powerless I stay bound to the promise in your shadows
Watching you through those tinted windows
I see a trembling soul trapped inside a beautiful rose…

This is a beautiful poem… hope my contribution is also 🙂
Emotional thorns
that sprouted
from wounds of the past,
shy away
from your perceiving eyes
I do at times hear our song
but in the turmoil of my sorrows,
the beautiful melody… dies
please, look away
for within,
my tears bleed my heart
along with the promises
we might have whispered in the dark
please, look away
from my unseen love
that, for you, cries

This post is for my daughter, she is the poet in our family. As soon as she wakes up I will see if she is up to some poetry. Great idea. Thanks for sharing.

Loving you unconditionally is what I chose,
“You are bound to his love”, are the words of my fellows,
I love you more than I show .
Watching you through those tinted windows
I too wants to get trapped in that beautiful rose
You and me, then will tie our souls.
In very simple words, I tried to continue the poem 🙊

Here’s my two cents Roy!
Your beauty moves my heart, but my love is trapped; this tinted glass won’t let my heart get to you. So my love breathes, but just upon this dreaded glass. Misty, my eyes are getting misty, my love is just a breath, a mist upon the glass. Trembling, my heart is trembling; my gaze is trapped within the soul of a beautiful rose. Powerless, my heart stays absolutely powerless; my heart is forever bound, within the shadow of a beautiful rose!

I have never attempted this before… answering your poem, here goes;
I feel your gaze as you peer,
Always after me so sincere.
I only tremble with fear,
praying you won’t appear.
My sorrow does not belong to my lover,
My pain belongs to you.
You took my heart and threw it away…
I remain beyond the tinted window.

the freedom you cling to, devoured
the rose you dwell in, shriveled and worn
the soul you foster, while innocent and mild
springs forth into darkness, blinded and torn
I continue to thirst for a love so sour
I sit in the garden and count down the hours
This day, this night, this echoing fear
What have you done to the hope that was near?
Tormented, you sift through the pain and decide in the end there was nothing to gain.
A bittersweet end, all the same.

I meant to separate the second to last night. Sorry.
Tormented, you sift through the pain
And decide in the end there was nothing to gain.
A bittersweet end, all the same.

One day I hope for better tomorrows
When we again can talk about our sorrows
It may be cruel to say, one reaps what one sows.
I will not reproach you thus, Life is full of unearned woes.
I won’t pick over bones of regret like the pitiless crows
Until the day I’ll watch and wait, as your flower grows
Watching you through those tinted windows
I see a trembling soul trapped inside a beautiful rose…

I can see you suffering from a distance ,
But I can’t change your life in an instant,
For you warned me never to give you my guidance,
I can see your painful wounds, that left a trail of blisters,
I see a trembling soul trapped inside a beautiful rose.
Haha I tried though… 😂 I tried… Can’t wait to see how you geniuses combine them again… 💕

The season spent in raging storm
have built around a fence of thorn
I ve been deceived in all its form
In attempt to hope and save my soul
so for the left time that I still own
I ve learnt to love this current home
Now ,Ghost or real?
a hero comes from endless dream
familiar voice but face unseen
a song I lift from windowsill
as to respond
My only bound
to the outside world
My first sunray
warmest hug Roy and Deekay^^
