Read Poem: Grow, Soul of Child, by Panda Boy

That smell is a smell so dear to me,
A hint of childhood past.
One with even bad memory,
Would recognise at last.

If that past has passed your memory,
Then future be on your present.
But if the future is unsure,
You are sure to be unpleasant.

Abused and fatherless
Or pampered and spoilt.
The clues shrouded in
Your very own mind.

Do not be the one who abandoned,
Don’t be the one who achieves.
Be the one who has the will
To conquer your fears.
For only then you will grow,
Soul of child.

Read Poetry: I am me, he is me, by P.T. Saunders

I am me.
He is also me.
I live in a house.
He lives in my head.
I am quiet.
He is loud.
I am gentle.
He is harsh.
I am often sad.
He is always mad.
I am good.
He is bad.
I want to live life to the full.
He wishes me dead.
I wish he would find somewhere else to live and get out of my head.
I am me.
He is me.
We are me.

Read Poem: PURE LOVE from Poem Diet

I still remember the day I stepped into your home

You cuddled me,carried me,showed me so much love

You became my world

I started growing, i still wanted to be carried, but you didn’t

I understood that may be you are also growing

Whole day I would wait for your return to give you a hug,

but you didn’t

I understood , you had a bad day

One day, you asked me to walk along with you,

I was so excited, I followed your footsteps ,

suddenly ,you were not there with me

I felt ashamed of myself for losing you

I knew you would be searching for me,

I didn’t want to make you sad,

I found my way and came running back,

You saw me, you were sad

I understood, may be you were sad that I struggled

Whatever you do, i will not think ill about you

After all, you are my world

At the end of the day , i wag my tail happily and sleep in a corner

Dreaming about you.

– Pure Love
