Those roaring waves call me,
Those blue sapphires allure me.
But, the warm sand keeps me in,
My soul’s trapped in a human’s sin.
Expressions are never crystal clear,
Every smile holds dried tears.
There’s pain hidden in each joy,
A hint of regret, when we rejoice.
The ocean unravels unspoken mysteries,
Summoning all the bittersweet memories.
Met with a strange calm amidst the chaos,
It has sorted out my scattered thoughts.
And now the sand’s turned cold,
All those gossips have been sold.
Slowly, the water moulds my fragile body,
I surrender, to feel what I couldn’t see.
-Ishita Gupta

Beautiful my dear friend. This poem is near and dear to my heart. I can ride each feeling with you Ishita.
“Every smile holds dried tears.
There’s pain hidden in each joy,
A hint of regret, when we rejoice.”
Gorgeous lines describing a mixture of emotions. Nothing is simple about the emotions we feel, often mixed.
Congratulations on teaching 200 followers. I remember how thrilled I was with 100. It is like a loving, nurturing, and supportive family, this community.
Have a wonderful day sweet friend. Love to you and all those you love.

It is entirely my pleasure dear friend. I really did find your lovely words near to my heart.
I am happy for you about getting exposure because for me, it was an amazing opportunity to learn so much from others. Exposure to music, art, flash fiction, and gorgeous poetry. It has enriched and blessed my life. You will start to find that there is so much to read and learn from your followers but not enough time to spend with even your favorites.
You have an amazing week too my friend.
Love 💕 and hugs 🤗

Lovely verse Ishita. Serene and calming. However the finale was a little bit of mixed emotions and I love that about your poetry.
It certainly urges a person to think and that is the greatest achievement of any poem. When it asks to review or think, you know that a Poem is a masterpiece and I can say this one is.
Congratulations on your 200! Here’s to so many more( 200s and wonderful posts such as these.)
Take care.
