POSTS STORIES REELS TAGGED
🔱 HE REMAINED 🔱

MAHADEV—
I wore His name in chants and beads,
But in my heart,
I held resentment.

I whispered prayers laced with anger,
Laid blame at His feet
As if He had failed me
By letting me fail myself.

And yet—He did not strike.
No lightning came,
No punishment—
Only more silence.

The same silence
That had once hurt me
Now began
To feel like healing.

I left Him a thousand times,
But He never left me once.
Every doubt I flung at Him
Turned into dust before His calm.

I see it now—
The moments I could’ve died,
But didn’t.
The grace I never thanked.

He shielded me from fears
I hadn’t yet named,
Battled storms
Before I knew to ask.

And when I returned,
Broken and bleeding,
He stood in the same place—
Still, sacred, unchanged.

He asked for nothing,
Yet gave everything.
Not blessings alone—
But space to fall and rise.

He absorbed my hatred
As if it were incense,
Turned my curses
Into offerings of transformation.

I spit fire at the one
Who carried water for my soul.
Yet He stayed,
Quieter than breath.

His love didn’t require my perfection—
Only my presence,
My willingness
To try again.

A poem of blame, mercy, and divine surrender 🕊️

🌟 Writer of the Week Spotlight: Jaykrishna Gorremuchu 🌟
It is an absolute privilege to feature the deeply profound and soul-stirring Jaykrishna (@it3r8or) as our featured writer! Believing that poetry is less about finding the right words and more about helping people find themselves within them, Jaykrishna crafts a literary space where broken hearts still choose kindness and where longing beautifully becomes language. Reading his work is like stepping into a sanctuary of quiet reflection, perfectly balanced on the thin, beautiful line where hope quietly survives the weight of memory.

What makes Jaykrishna’s voice so utterly compelling is his ability to paint the internal landscapes of the human condition with striking gentleness. He masterfully navigates the intricate emotional terrain of healing, describing the heavy caution of a wounded soul moving through the world “like a man carrying broken glass inside his chest.” Yet, there is a resilient, striking spirit woven into his words. 

Jaykrishna’s writing guides readers along a deeply transformative emotional path, beautifully encapsulated by his philosophy. His stunning piece Through Cracks serves as a poignant reminder of our shared responsibility to look after one another, asking why we don’t choose to “become little gardens of kindness instead” so that even the most weathered souls can pause, take a deep breath, and remember that “even flowers learn to bloom through cracks.” His work ensures that anyone reading leaves carrying hope instead of hurt.
Jaykrishna, thank you for sharing your beautifully gentle, deeply inspiring world with us. We are so incredibly proud to celebrate you in our cosmos! 🌸✨

Some stories begin long before we know they’re being written.

Some connections seem to exist outside of time... arriving, disappearing, and somehow finding their way back.

Maybe it was coincidence.
Maybe it was always meant to be.

There are some things the universe keeps secret… until you’re ready to understand why they found each other.

The Way Back HOME

'SOMEWHERE  TO  FALL 🕊️ '
•
Somewhere between letting go and learning to stay,
we discover that perhaps freedom was never about having nothing to hold us—
but about finding something gentle enough to fall into.
•
Two voices.
One quiet ache.
One shared journey from weight to light. 🕊️🤍
•
Prompt: The Weight of Being Weightless

we found somewhere to fall."

This prompt made me wonder if drifting is the opposite of being lost. 

Water carries the blossom, 
silence steadies the stem, 
and somewhere beneath it all, 
the roots continue 
their quiet conversation 
with the rain. 

"Sometimes the deepest prayers,
 are the ones nature whispers first."
 —it3r8or 🤍🧿🕊️

With gratitude to @kuku4.haiku for the beautiful DRIFT/ING prompt, and to the gentle wisdom of Japanese tradition that reminds us rivers can carry both lanterns and memories, while roots quietly remember the rain. 🤍🌊🏮

We spend our lives
searching
for love,
loss,
return
and hope.

Perhaps
we have only been remembering
what 
dawn,
rivers,
forests
and stars
have always known.

Written for this week’s @poeticduets prompt: “Conversation Duet.”

A conversation between the Human World, the Living Earth, and the Cosmos.

Somewhere between silence, memory, and the weight of things we never fully say aloud,
these fragments slowly found their way into each other.🫰🏻

What began as scattered emotions became a space we could both sit inside gently —
line after line, pause after pause.

This piece carries parts of us we may never know how to explain completely,
but somehow the words understood.

Grateful to Poetic Duets for holding space for softness like this,
and for letting our hearts leave something tender behind here. 🤗

— Ruvaani & Jay 🤍🧿🕊️

EGO — Part 3

It didn’t feel like fear.
It felt like control.

Until nothing stayed long enough to prove it.

It's Special Showcase Sunday! 
Every so often, we come across rare Poetic Duets that are actually a Poetic Trio, Quartet, Quintet, Sextet, Septet, Octet, etc. We think these all deserve special mentions because they are far more rare. I am delighted to present some of these today:

Featuring this fabulous Poetic Quartet By:

@ruvaani.unclaimed
and
@it3r8or
and
@_elis_poetry_
and
@__ashsays__

Four voices. One question. This thought-provoking Quartet dives into the science of why behind the creativity and release of poetry. All four writers bring their own unique perspectives and blend them into the shared vision of what poetry really does for us when we write. 
Please go and check out all of their pages to read more talented writing.

CONFESSION:

We don’t notice our breath
until something inside us starts to fall apart.

This wasn’t meant to be deep—
just a simple idea that turned into… this.

Maybe it’s not about breathing at all.
Maybe it’s about everything we’ve been holding in. 💟

Appreciation to the host @thistooisholy  for the space, and for quietly doing the hard work of bringing strangers together and making something like this possible.

And to my pen-pals @reader75063 & @lexbpoetry  I was blindly paired with—
funny how even the most random connections leave something behind.

If this made you pause…
that wasn’t the reel.

That was YOU 🤍🧿🕊️.
