Soul Poems
The Soul's Farewell to the Body
by Ella Wheeler Wilcox
So we must part forever; and although
I long have beat my wings and cried to go,
Free from your narrow limiting control,
Forth into space, the true home of the soul,
Yet now, yet now that hour is drawing near,
I pause reluctant, finding you so dear.
All joys await me in the realm of God-
Must you, my comrade, moulder in the sod?

Yayu's AI Face of Nausea
by Yayu Uppsurya
In shadows deep where specters dwell,
A bitter stench of truth, they tell—
Each twisted smile a mask of grace,
Yet underneath, the hollow space.
Upon a plate, sweet lies deceive,
With colors bright, our hearts believe—
Yet taste reveals the rotting core,
A banquet set on fervent lore.

Broken and Gone
by Sandra Gowin
Do you ever wonder what’s it really like?
You know feeling like you’re always in the dark.
You go through life
desperately avoiding cuts from a knife.
Of course, you fail.
Grasping for air you once inhaled.
It’s like you’re stuck in time
You think ‘was anything ever mine?’
The emptiness inside you grows stronger
Till you cannot take it any longer

My soul questions you...
by Nupur Gautam
When the sun sets will you be my moon?
Will you be my rainbow in the monsoon?
When I act childish will you bring me candy and balloon?
Will you help me open up to this world when I hide in a little cocoon?
When life seems to be weighing me down will you lift me up in your arms?
Will you help me calm down when my over-scrutinizer brain rings all the false alarms?
When I drown in misfortune will you be one of my lucky charms?
When you touch the petals of my soul will you cause them to blossom with care?

do you remember(as a child)
by Rumi Ullidov
Do you remember
As a child
When the neighbour
Pissed off
Chided you?
Did you get angry
Because he shouted
Or embarrassed
Because he was right?

I cry
by Sonja D.
I cry
not 'cause I miss you
you out of reach
vast oceans apart.
I cry
not 'cause I crave you
your soul love’s
sweetest dark racine.

Soul bride
by Sonja D.
People around me not seeing my
Lips throbbing with kisses
Throat chocking with words
Arms brimming with hugs.
People speaking to me not hearing your
Voice’s silent whispers
Loudest echos
Asking for my hand.

Infinity
by Michael R. Burch
Have you tasted the bitterness of tears of despair?
Have you watched the sun sink through such pale, balmless air
that your soul sought its shell like a crab on a beach,
then scuttled inside to be safe, out of reach?

To my twin flame
by Sonja D.
I know your boundless love
know your gentle heart
your glossiest light
in all shades of dark
I feel your fiery passion
feel your unbending strength
your sweetest pleasures
with tiny specks of pain
