In the still of night, under starry skies so high,
A girl at her balcony, with coffee by her side.
She sips in silence, a moment to unwind,
As thoughts in her mind, like constellations, align.
She gazes beyond, where city lights do gleam,
A world of stories, in each twinkling beam.
The coffee’s warmth, a comforting embrace,
A balm for her soul, a gentle, soothing grace.
She’s been through trials, her heart has known the ache,
But in this quiet moment, no words of heartbreak.
For in the simple act of sipping, she finds,
A way to heal wounds, to ease troubled minds.
She won’t speak of pain, won’t let it return,
But in this coffee’s warmth, new strength she’ll discern.
A girl at her balcony, beneath the midnight sky,
Sipping coffee, finding solace, letting old hurts pass by.

It’s a very moving poem. I like the way you showed the pain she felt and the wounds that need to be healed.
This is a lovely poem. So glad I came across amidst a busy Monday morning, brought a smile to my lips and made my day.
This is interesting, love this one, and because I’m a coffee person, enjoyed reading it.
Nnniicceeee…I really love the last two sentences. “A girl at her balcony, beneath the midnight sky,
Sipping coffee, finding solace, letting old hurts pass by”, they give me so much hope.
It’s truly touching to read about the power of solitude and how it can bring comfort and peace in difficult times. The image of a girl sipping coffee on her balcony while the stars were out captured my attention. It’s amazing how such a simple act can provide solace and help one heal from the trials of life. Your words describe a picture of hope and resilience, reminding us that even in the darkest of times, there is always a way to find comfort and strength. It’s wonderful to know that there are ways to find peace and healing when we need them most.
This is such a sad yet deep poem. So many people sip or drink their problems away to deal with them. Your words literally make my imagination come to life. Wonderful poem.

Such a beautiful and serene poem! Your words paint a peaceful picture of a starry coffee moment. Thanks for sharing this delightful piece of writing!
You are such a creative and reflective mind and soul! Lovely poem for today.
What a beautiful poem! I truly hope that she will find the healing and strength that she rightfully deserves.
Your descriptions took me to that cozy coffee shop under the starry sky. I could almost taste the cappuccino as I read. Your writing is fantastic, and it made me want to visit that place right now.
i always see stories in the twinkling beams of starlight too
That’s really so beautiful poem. I am a coffee lover too loved reading it.
Beautiful poem! Skylight, coffee, city view is really a lovely combination!
The part about not speaking of pain but finding strength in the warmth of coffee hits close to home. I’ve often found it challenging to put my struggles into words, but a quiet moment with a hot cup of coffee somehow speaks volumes. It’s amazing how something as simple as a cup of coffee can become a source of strength and peace.
I resonate with this girl Moni! The midnight sky with the occasional car headlight passing by, the moon, and the stars, all offer a kind of peace very conducive to healing. Amazing lines!
“letting old hurts pass by” that should be our attitude and perspective towards life. Sometime, some quiet time with ourselves with a cup of steaming coffee is enough to give us clarity and let us move ahead in our life.
I yearn for a cup of coffee with lactose free milk. But here you have made me forget the coffee and I strolled through your feelings you have shared in this awesome poem.
This is such a deep poem. It reminds us that sometimes, in the stillness of the night, we can find the courage to let go of past hurts and embrace the comforting warmth of the present. Just loved it.
I m so glad to see this side of your creative writing Moni. Loved your poetry… it’s simple but layered. One can relate to it in several ways. Way to go and looking forward to more.
That poem is one of a kind. I’m not usually fond of poems but this is really written well and relatable.
I am a coffee person too! I can really relate to this, as I enjoy a cup when things get tough. Coffee is like a book, it brings solace and warmth. Really enjoyed reading this poem.
Ironically, I am reading this beautiful poetry while sipping a cup of tea I made solely for myself. After a point of time, we accept our reality no matter how hard it was or how much pain it gave us. And from that very moment, our growth and healing journey begins.
The poem actually tells me that we need to give time to ourselves in order to settle hard time that we are going tru.
I am not much into reading poems but loved your poem. indeed, sometimes it is hard to express pain with words and sipping a cup of coffee can sooth us to calm our soul and give us much needed strength that we need to overcome pain and other challenges.
I love poetry. While reading, i imagined myself with a coffee on my balcony watching the stars.
The moments of loneliness give us the privilege to think, and we feel calm. Peace of mind we all need, and these moments of solitude give us the chance to enjoy peace and think better, brighter, and positive. Sometimes, the bruises of pain are so deep and invisible from the outside that we need that corner of our nest where we can sit and talk to ourselves to come out bold and confident, taking lessons from the bruises. It happens to me too… in such situations, I separate myself from others, let it be even for a few hours only…. I take tea and graze at the stars… the one that looks the brightest that night, I consider that star as my grandpa. I talk to him, pouring my heart out, and many times, tears roll down…. he listens to me patiently, and when I recover from my state of mind… I find myself relaxed with a clear vision of what I must do next. All I do is thank that moment of life, the big sky, my grandpa star who handled my emotions of pain with care and made me the better version of myself.
Moni, with every passing day, your poetry is making me feel mesmerized, and I am glad to see the level of depth in your poems. You are gifted with amazing talent, and working really hard to use that talent beautifully using your inking skill. Keep inking.
A very heart-touching poem. Sometimes we need to take time for ourselves to decide if some things are worth fighting for or better letting go.
I am just amazed to read the type of in-depth meaning it has. coming away from the past is something that we have to do and let go things,
A beautiful piece, Monidipa. We need the solitude to introspect and heal. Deciding to let go of things to heal ourselves.
Happy to read your poem because though there is mention of pain, in the end, it’s hope that takes the front seat. Loved it!
Lovely poem. Though I am tea lover but coffee has its own place in my life. Love the way you describe her pain and how she overcome it. Yes, coffee is the best healer.
A very beautiful poem. Creativity like this makes me believe that AI will never truly take over in this aspect.
This is such a lovely poem, though I am not a coffee person but really loved the way you have chosen words to express!!
wonderful simply sipping coffee could comfort my soul too. It is such a heart-felt piece of writing loved every word.
This poetry is beautiful. I’m delighted I found you during a busy Monday morning since you made my day and brought a grin to my lips.
Somewhere I saw myself through your poem just a small difference I had the tea mug 🙂 Very well penned, you so feel it.
Not a coffee person but yet brought a smile on my face. Such a beautiful poem.
