my fav poetry


“If you can keep your head when all about you
Are losing theirs and blaming it on you,
If you can trust yourself when all men doubt you,
But make allowance for their doubting too;

If you can wait and not be tired by waiting,
Or being lied about, don't deal in lies,
Or being hated, don't give way to hating,
And yet don't look too good, nor talk too wise

If you can dream - and not make dreams your master;
If you can think - and not make thoughts your aim;
If you can meet with Triumph and Disaster
And treat those two impostors just the same;

If you can bear to hear the truth you've spoken
Twisted by knaves to make a trap for fools,
Or watch the things you gave your life to, broken,
And stoop and build 'em up with worn-out tools

If you can make one heap of all your winnings
And risk it on one turn of pitch-and-toss,
And lose, and start again at your beginnings
And never breathe a word about your loss;

If you can force your heart and nerve and sinew
To serve your turn long after they are gone,
And so hold on when there is nothing in you
Except the will which says to them: 'Hold on!'

If you can talk with crowds and keep your virtue,
Or walk with Kings - nor lose the common touch,
If neither foes nor loving friends can hurt you,
If all men count with you, but none too much;

If you can fill the unforgiving minute
With sixty seconds' worth of distance run,
Yours is the Earth and everything that's in it,
And - which is more - you'll be a Man, my son!”
― Rudyard Kipling, If: A Father's Advice to His Son

Snow-white swans sing softly,
Rose petals blooming in the air.
One smile from you melts me,
Basking in nature, the perfect pair.
Arms wrapped around my neck,
Hands resting upon your waist.
Staring into the eyes of heaven,
Breathless as I caress your face.
The swans quiet down to watch us
Awaiting for our moment’s bliss.
Another perfect day gone by together,
Now let it end with a heartfelt kiss.

[~KAYRA~]

Sometimes it’s hard to see,
what’s right in front of me.
Sometimes i don’t appreciate,
the time and effort you make.
Sometimes i can’t understand,
that he isn’t the right man.
But for those “sometimes” I’m glad i have you,
to tell me when it’s time to realize him and me are through.
I know that my faults have taken a toll on you,
and i want to say thankyou.
Thankyou for sticking it through,
and realizing that I’m here for you too.
We hit it off from the start,
and I can tell we will never part.
best friends from the beginning,
I’m here for any inning.
Rain or shine,
I’ll be on time.
Like best friends should,
I’ll be here for good.
