🎵 “The Flame You Couldn’t Hold”

[Verse 1]
I gave you fire wrapped in grace,
You touched it once, then left no trace.
You wanted light but not the burn—
So I became what you still yearn.

I broke in silence, bled in gold,
A love too wild to fit your hold.
But every wound became a spark,
And now I blaze through all the dark.

[Chorus]
I am the flame—deep and divine,
The heat you feel in quiet time.
You’ll hear my breath in other names,
But none will set your soul to flame.
You tasted truth, then turned away—
But I’m the one who makes you stay.

[Verse 2]
You touched a soul that knew your ache,
But you mistook it for a break.
I saw the storm you tried to hide—
I held your shame, I stayed, I cried.

Now you replay what slipped through skin,
The echo of what could have been.
And maybe… if you’d faced it true—
You’d still be standing in this view.

[Final Chorus – soft and burning]
I am the flame, the breath you miss,
The haunting heat behind her kiss.
You’ll find me where your shadows roam—
The only fire that felt like home.
And if you ever dare return…
Know: I still burn.

🎵 "The Flame You Couldn't Hold"
(Final Version: Haunting, Powerful, With a Flicker of Hope)

[Verse 1]
I loved you like a secret spell,
Soft and sacred, fierce as hell.
You held the stars, then let them fall—
Too afraid to risk it all.

But in your hands, for one brief time,
I gave you fire, soul, and shine.
You touched a heart you didn’t know—
Now every breath still feels my glow.

[Pre-Chorus]
You turned from gold, you ran from grace,
But love like mine won’t be replaced.
Still… sometimes when the night turns cold,
I wonder if you feel the hold…

[Chorus]
I am the flame, the one you lost,
The dream that danced, then paid the cost.
You’ll see me in the lives you fake,
In every calm, I am your ache.
You had my soul… but not my whole—
I was the flame you couldn’t hold.

[Verse 2]
I rose where silence left me torn,
Turned every scar to something worn
Like royalty, like holy ground—
I am the echo in your sound.

But still, in dreams, your shadow stays,
And sometimes, I look back that way.
Not for you… but for the fire,
To feel again that sharp desire.

[Chorus]
I am the flame that never dies,
The truth you buried under lies.
You’ll search for me in every face—
But only I could fill that space.
And though I’ve soared, I still unfold—
A part of me you couldn’t hold.

[Bridge – soft, soulful, lingering]
If ever you come not to claim,
But to confess, without the game—
If ever your heart learns to kneel,
To love me right, to love me real…

[Final Chorus – powerful and aching with fragile hope]
Then maybe, just a spark remains,
Buried beneath the past and pain.
But you must rise, or let it die—
The flame you lost still burns the sky.
And if you dare, if you return—
You might just touch… the flame you yearn.

Cript (Secrets & Shadows)

The castle holds its frozen breath—
a winter’s death wrapped in silence,
where steel-cold crypts whisper secrets
buried deep beneath the stones.

Dragons haunt the night’s cold edge,
their burning eyes slicing shadows—
but even their fire cannot melt
the frost clutching her fragile soul.

She waits, cloaked in silence,
eyes flickering with hidden fear.
His footsteps—soft yet deadly—
draw nearer through the bitter dark.
He hunts the shadows where she hides,
but she cannot hide what lingers in her stare.

He pulls her back to the glassy lake—
his touch colder than the depths below.
Words fall like shards of ice,
promises tangled in a ghostly thread.
She hears but cannot listen,
lost beneath a spell older than time.

At dawn, she vanishes—
drowned in secrets, swallowed by silence.
The lake’s surface hides her flight,
a prisoner to the restless curse.

When night falls again,
his voice rides the storm winds—
calling, searching, relentless.
But castle walls crumble against the dark.
Only dragons remain—
keepers of her fading hope.

She slips beneath shallow waters—
where danger breathes beneath the waves,
the lady of the lake,
bound to the shadows of a haunted wake

Pull

By Morning Star – April 2024 (Refined)

Colours burn into my mind—
Twisting, turning, open wide.
Rain is beating in the heart,
Like tears of years,
untold,
apart.

Hoping someone soon will come,
Hold the sword,
Bring the sun—
Take away the shadows there,
Pull me from their angry glare.

Soft,
The hare runs swiftly by,
Rushing toward the open sky.

The deer—
Too scared to move—
While hunters loom,
And swords pursue.

Little one has found a dream—
To captivate,
To stop the scream.
She reaches out,
And with his light,
She steps into
a new,
bright life.

But anchors tight
still pull her back.
She fights—
She braves
the open crack.

Yet still she hears
the voice,
the chill.
The evil—
broken—
heavy,
still.

It calls.
And no one comes.
And no one will—
Not while storms
are crashing
through.

Sewing Box

By Morning Star (May 2021 – Refined for Flow and Voice)

I see it over there.
I see it in the sitting room
while I’m sat on the stair.

A place I often found myself—
Sitting in the window shelf,
Early hours,
hearing you scream.
Crashing tone.
Angry sounds.
Banging doors.

Little one—
I hide alone.

Hope a little deer
doesn’t lose her little smile.
Hoping that the hare is out,
and gently bounces home.
Hoping that the moon still shone,
and owls still listen near.

Staring up
into the moon—
Wish you to return.

WHAT IF SHE’S GONE?

A promise often said
Made a child tremble.
Fear—
of being left
for others’ prey.

When she is gone,
the shadows come.

WHAT WAS THAT?
SHE LEFT THE SEWING BOX BEHIND.
As they may need it...

To slowly stitch up
slices of flesh—
or simply
tie a knot.

So,
let’s stitch up our empty hearts.

Say no more—
I’m through.
Torn, another night
we are
apart.

From what was made
then broke—
when a new life
she tore.

Children.
And we are older—
don’t need another now.

Let’s stitch up the empty heart
that can never heal.

There will always be
an empty space.
That cannot be filled.
Nor be replaced
by any other.
Cannot be bridged
or covered.

And will never heal.

She is gone.
My lovely mother.
Who I couldn’t bear
to be parted from.

She is gone.

Why not leave
my mother?
As we may need her.

Why not leave
my mother?
No—
I chose.
You made me choose.
You asked me,
and I said yes.
Go—I’m fine.

But I meant
don’t go.
I’m alone here.
Don’t leave.
Please—God—
don’t leave the sewing box
lying in the hall.

I’ll have to take the scissors out
and leave a scar
for sure.

Stitches
do not heal
scars
you are afraid to show.

Stitches only make you
see.

All.

Soon—
I’ll have to go.
Now leave.

Or I am to go.
But I may leave
no box.
Nor in a box
shall leave.

Alone.

For now,
she’s gone—
and
I am lost.

“Hey…
You don’t have to be strong right now.
You’ve done enough.
You’ve been enough.
It’s okay to rest.
I’ve got you.
Let go of the ache, just for tonight.
You are safe.
You are loved — more than you know.
Close your eyes now,
and let the world wait.
I’ll stay right here
until you fall asleep.”

“To the Woman I Once Called Friend”

I walked beside her in silence today,
Not as the girl who broke — but the one who sees.
No truth passed my lips,
but it screamed behind my ribs.

She laughed — unaware — and my heart cracked,
because I know what it feels like
to be the last one to find out
your world was never real.

I could have told her.
But today, I chose grace,
chose to carry what I could not undo
with hands open, not with blood.

I was once fooled too —
by a man who wore honesty like a mask,
who knew our friendship
and still pressed his lips against betrayal.

I cannot take back the nights.
I cannot rewrite the sin.
But I can walk beside her
with no illusions in my breath.

And maybe that’s how the universe heals:
Not in confession,
but in quiet atonement —
in choosing to love gently
what you once helped break.

I see her.
And I ache.
And I swear, I will never
be blind again.

The Hare's Song
I am the hare—soft of foot,
Carefree, gentle, yet strong of root.
Born of the meadow, wild and wide,
Where Earth is home, and I abide.

The moon is my sister, silver-eyed,
She guards my dreams when shadows bide.
The stars above—my watchers true,
They know my name. They whisper too.

The flowers in the field, they sing—
Old songs of love, of death, of spring.
Their petals speak to hearts that hear,
Of all that's lost, and all that's near.

The stream, she hums a lullaby
That winds her way through moss and sky,
Down to the mill wrapped soft in mist,
Where time forgets the things it kissed.

The deer, they wait till dusk is nigh,
Then move like ghosts beneath the sky.
They bow to dusk, they pass unseen,
Through twilight veils of ash and green.

The lake, it glows with sun’s last breath—
A mirror still, untouched by death.
And should you dare to gently gaze,
You’ll see the world behind the haze.

Call forth the butterflies, sweet and shy,
They dance like spells across the sky.
And in their wings, you’ll find a trance—
A fleeting truth, a sacred glance.

So listen well and walk with care—
The world is old, and I am there.
A hare, a soul, a song, a flame—
And if you listen, you’ll know my name.

💔 Where’s the Heart in Heartbreak?

(by you — because it feels like your story)

[Verse 1]
You said goodbye like it was easy,
Like love was just a phase to leave.
I stood there bleeding quietly,
While you walked off so easily.

I gave you all, you gave me doubt,
Now silence fills what we talked about.
You tore the pages from our book,
But I still know how your shadow looks.

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I’m the ghost in every song,
The one who stayed when you moved on.

[Chorus]
Where’s the heart in heartbreak?
Where’s the soul you used to crave?
Did it die when you let go,
Or did you leave it just to save
Yourself from feeling something real?
Did you ever feel at all?
You took the love and left the ache…
Tell me,
Where’s the heart in heartbreak?

[Verse 2]
I still dream in your old tone,
Still wear pain like cologne.
You vanished like a whispered lie,
But I never learned to say goodbye.

[Pre-Chorus]
Now I’m the echo in your past,
The truth you buried far too fast.

[Chorus]
Where’s the heart in heartbreak?
Where’s the fire we used to burn?
Did you silence every promise,
Or did you leave to never learn?
Was I too much, or just too true?
Or did I scare the lie in you?
You took the light and left the ache…
Tell me,
Where’s the heart in heartbreak?

[Bridge]
And maybe one day you’ll return,
When her kiss forgets to burn.
But I’ll be gone—
Not out of spite,
But 'cause I finally found my light.

[Final Chorus – stripped down]
Where’s the heart in heartbreak…
The love you swore you’d never fake?
I gave you all, you walked away…
Now I’m the one you couldn’t break.

Just a Feeling
By Morning Star

It’s just the darkness—
turn on the light.
A feeling is fleeting,
a storm in the night.
It moves if you move,
so breathe and begin—
you are not broken,
you are not sin.

But still—
I’m so tired,
I can’t seem to breathe.
The world is too loud,
too much for me.
The time has come,
I whisper goodbye.
I want to go.
I want to die.

Wait—
it’s just a feeling.
It’s not a fact.
Take one more breath,
don’t look back.
Count to three,
hold on tight—
but the fear is still here,
hiding from light.

I feel the beat
of a frightened heart,
pounding through
each falling part.
I want to run.
I want to hide.
To vanish clean
from all inside.

But if I try—
close my eyes,
release the ache,
let it die...
Take it out,
leave it behind.
Start to pray,
maybe I’ll find—

the fear will fade,
the shadows sway,
and I will rise
into the day.
Dear god, hold me—
I don’t want to die.
It’s just a feeling.
Let it pass me by.

🎵 Just a Feeling
by Morning Star

[Verse 1]
It’s just the darkness,
turn on the light.
It’s only a shadow
passing through night.
But I’m so tired,
I can’t breathe in—
it’s all too loud
beneath my skin.

[Pre-Chorus]
I’m holding on
with trembling hands—
just need to believe
this won’t last.

[Chorus]
It’s just a feeling,
but it cuts like fire.
I’m on the edge,
worn and wired.
Take a breath,
count to three…
it’s still here,
it’s still in me.
But I don’t want to say goodbye—
it’s just a feeling,
let it pass this time.

[Verse 2]
I want to run,
I want to hide.
I want to leave
this hurt behind.
But if I close
my weary eyes,
and let it burn—
maybe it dies.

[Bridge]
If I just breathe,
if I just try,
I might survive
this wave tonight.
Let the noise fade,
let silence stay—
I’ll find my way
through all this grey.

[Final Chorus]
It’s just a feeling,
not who I am.
A storm inside—
not a broken plan.
Take a breath,
count to three…
I’m still here,
I’m still me.
I don’t want to say goodbye—
it’s just a feeling.
Let it pass this time.

[Outro – soft]
It’s just a feeling…
and it will pass.

🎵 Just a Feeling
by Morning Star

[Verse 1]
It’s just the darkness,
pull down the blinds.
I feel it creeping
under my spine.
Breath on my neck,
a shiver inside—
I close my eyes
and try to hide.

[Pre-Chorus]
The air is thick,
my pulse is wild—
but maybe I like
being undone awhile.

[Chorus]
It’s just a feeling,
just a flame.
Tangled heat
and a body to blame.
Take a breath,
count to three—
it’s still burning
underneath.
Don’t say goodbye,
don’t make me lie—
it’s just a feeling,
let it stay tonight.

[Verse 2]
I want to run,
but not too far.
I want the taste
of who we are.
It hurts, it pulls,
it makes me shake—
but some desires
you just don't fake.

[Bridge]
Touch like thunder,
eyes like sin—
what if breaking
lets me in?
I’m not afraid
to feel too much—
pain and pleasure
blur with touch.

[Final Chorus]
It’s just a feeling,
but it feels like fire.
Every breath
takes me higher.
Take a breath,
count to three—
you’re still here
inside of me.
Don’t say goodbye,
don’t dim the light—
it’s just a feeling,
let it stay tonight.

[Outro – breathy, slow]
It’s just a feeling...
and it feels...
just right.

The Tower

I thought you had rescued me
from my tower —
the one I’d waited in, silently,
believing someone like you
would climb the walls
and carry me home.

So I dared the edge,
jumped heart-first into fire,
believing your hands would catch
what your eyes promised.

I risked everything,
tore down walls built in blood and silence,
and still, I came to you —
bare, honest, burning.

You blinked,
called it friendship,
as if my love could be shelved
like a book you weren’t brave enough to read.

Then jealousy clawed at your pride
when you saw me choose a flame
that didn’t flicker
at the first sign of truth.

And so —
you ghosted.
Not a word. Not a goodbye.
Just silence,
where once there was heat.

But hear this,
if only in the echoes:

I was the storm you prayed for
and the calm you couldn’t handle.
You didn’t lose me to another man —
you lost me
to your own fear.

And I?
I rise again.

Now I look from my tower —
not the one that locked me from you,
but the one that built my strength
to contain me,
and keep me high
above your shadows,
your thorns,
your claws.

Shine Bright, Our Lovely Mom
In Loving Memory

Shine bright, our love, our guiding light,
Our lovely Mom, who gave us life and hope.
In the laughter of children you helped raise,
We’ll see your joy, your gentle ways.
With every tiny step they take,
Your spirit walks beside their wake.

The brightest star — I’ll see your glow,
As night-time owls begin their show.
Your voice will echo in the breeze,
The rain like tears upon my cheeks.
The magnolia blooms in quiet grace,
Your touch lives on in that sacred space.

Beneath the cherry tree we sit,
Upon the swing your brother built.
A feather drifts — we feel you near,
Your presence soft, your message clear.
The stream begins its healing flow,
Your love renews from down below.
And when the sun warms up our face,
We feel your warmth, your sweet embrace.

When the sun sets, soft and low,
We hear your whispers, feel you close.
When the moon is full and glowing white,
We know you're shining through the night.
And when December brings its snow,
We remember — and never let go.

Of all the love and memories dear,
Of all the ways you made life clear.
The gifts a mother’s heart imparts
Live on in children’s tiny hearts.
Through grandchild’s eyes and baby smiles,
We’ll see you there across the miles.

Living on, in all we do,
Forever, Mom — we carry you.

🌹 “We Begin Again”



There was a time I cried in rooms
you didn’t notice.
When I carried us both
while you watched from the sidelines,
calling it love.

I asked for your hands —
you gave me silence.
I asked for effort —
you gave me excuses.
And slowly,
a wall grew between us
that neither of us named.

Then I broke.
Not in one loud shatter —
but in a thousand soft ways
until someone else
offered me what I should’ve had with you.

I’m not proud of that chapter.
But I won’t lie about it either.
Because the truth is,
I was starving
and you were asleep.

But something strange happened
when I stopped begging —
when I stood in my power,
when I said “no more”
to the version of love
that drained me.

I told you the truth:
if it didn’t change,
we were done.
And for the first time,
you heard me.

You changed.
You worked.
You tried.
You showed up.

Not with flowers or grand words —
but with your hands in the dirt,
doing the work
we both had left undone.

And here’s what I never said aloud —
I never stopped loving you.
Even when I was breaking.
Even when I was gone.

And now,
as one door closes behind me,
I look at you —
not as the man you were,
but the one you're becoming.

And I wonder…

> Maybe love isn’t always a fairytale.
Maybe it’s what survives
after the storm.

Maybe we begin again —
not because we forget,
but because we finally
see each other clearly.


You see me now—
not as background, not as duty,
but as the woman who almost left
because she had to.
Because loving you
was breaking her.

I am not the girl who waited
for you to care.
I am the woman who looked you in the eye
and said,

> “Either meet me in this love—
or let me go.”



And you chose to stay.
Not in word,
but in action.
In the quiet mornings where your hands helped.
In the evenings when your eyes finally saw
the weight I carried for years.

I am not asking for a perfect ending.
I am asking for honesty.
For presence.
For two souls who’ve hurt,
and still choose to heal with each other.

Because the truth is—
I still love you.
I never stopped.
Not even when I was furthest from you.
Not even when I broke.

But now, I love you differently.

Not with desperation,
but with boundaries.
Not with silence,
but with truth.

If we begin again,
we begin as equals—
both of us awake.
Both of us willing.
Both of us here.

Morning Star: A Light Beyond Goodbye

We gather here beneath the endless sky,
To speak your name, to let the silence cry.
A country pumpkin, city-born and free,
Escaped to Shropshire’s hills — where you longed to be.

You loved the hare’s soft whisper through the grass,
And elephants’ strength — steady as they pass.
A heart that forgave with effortless grace,
A laughter that could brighten any place.

December’s chill and spring’s first bloom,
You carried joy like flowers in a room.
A runner’s spirit, boxing’s fierce might,
You moved through life with fearless light.

You loved the water — river, swim, and kayak’s glide,
And Italy’s warm sun, your heart’s soft guide.
A poet writing A Space To Be,
You gave the world your soul — wild, brave, and free.

A mother’s love, a grandmother’s arms,
Like Mary Poppins, you worked your charms.
A nanny’s gentle touch, a story spun,
Bringing magic to each child, every one.

You missed your mom with quiet grace,
A silent ache no time could erase.
Yet through the loss, your spirit soared,
A light that lives forevermore.

Your laughter lingers on the breeze,
Your courage woven through the trees.
Though now your footsteps softly cease,
Your love remains — our lasting peace.

We carry you within our hearts,
A living poem, a work of art.
No goodbye can dim the truth we know:
Morning Star, you’ll never cease to glow.

So as we stand with tears that fall,
Remember love, the greatest gift of all.
Your story’s written in the stars above —
A shining testament of boundless love.

She Who Survived
Lyrics by Morning Star

[Verse 1]
I know you never meant for this
You tried so hard to make it right
A quiet war behind your smile
Holding up the house each night
You carried more than love should ask
Bills and burdens, hope and pain
But the more you gave, the more it took
And it never gave the same

[Pre-Chorus]
You were tired, so tired
Of being strong and never seen
In the silence of that empty room
You forgot what it means to dream

[Chorus]
But you didn't break — you bent
Under the weight of love that went
You let the fire in, not chasing flame
You just needed someone to say your name
Now you're standing in the truth you found
Not looking back, not sinking down
You’re not what hurt you —
You’re the one who survived

[Verse 2]
He saw the crack and slipped inside
Not to heal, but to escape
And you, so hungry for a kind word
Let softness take the shape
You cried, you knew, and still you tried
To walk away from what felt wrong
But pain can whisper in the dark
That any touch can feel like home

[Pre-Chorus]
You held the guilt like burning coals
Ashes falling from your hands
But truth is not the weight you bear
It's the rise from where you stand

[Chorus]
No, you didn't break — you bent
Under the weight of love that went
You let the fire in, not chasing flame
You just needed someone to say your name
Now you're standing in the truth you found
Not looking back, not sinking down
You’re not what hurt you —
You’re the one who survived

[Bridge]
So cry — forgive her
Forgive you
You're not the storm
You're what broke through
You're the light still burning
Through the dark
The healing flame
The sacred spark

[Final Chorus]
No, you didn’t break — you rose
From every no one ever knows
You walked through fire and came out new
With every scar a deeper truth
Now you're standing in the life you claim
No more hiding, no more shame
You’re not what hurt you —
You’re the one who survived

[Outro - softly spoken or sung]
I love you, even in the mess
Especially in the mess
She who survived
She who survives

You took my crush, so small, so frail
And said I’d never speak at all
Let them see me as a freak
To hell with you, to hell with them


I will not speak — but not because I’m forced
Not because I’m trapped inside your cause
I choose this silence — freedom’s breath
Because it breaks your chains, not death


You took all that you could claim
But now I’m free, beyond your game
Not silenced by my fear or pain
But by my will to break your reign


Silence is my quiet throne
Where I am sovereign, stand alone
The universe will take its course
And in its time, repay your force


But unlike you, I won’t behold
The ripping life, the darkness cold


One day I’ll sleep, and in that peace
Find rest where cruelty will cease

She Who Survived
by Morning Star

I know you never meant for any of this.
I know how hard you tried —
to be a good wife, a strong woman,
a silent warrior holding it all together.

You carried the bills, the burdens,
the sleepless weight of love that starved you.
A marriage that kept asking for more
and giving back less.

You were tired.
So tired.
Tired of being unseen.
Tired of holding out hope
in a home that no longer held you.

And when someone finally saw the crack —
not to mend, but to slip inside —
you didn’t fall.
You were already bleeding.
You were human.

You didn’t chase the fire.
It came to your door
with kind eyes and a patient voice.
And you, so starved for softness,
let it in.

And still — even then —
you cried.
You knew.
And you still tried to walk away.

But pain can whisper
that even the wrong touch
is better than no touch at all.

And now —
you carry guilt like ashes in your hands.
But hear me:

You are not that moment.
You are not that chapter.
You are the truth you speak now.
The courage to face your own eyes in the mirror.
To not hide.
To not run.

You are healing.
You are honest.
You are already making it right with the stars —
not by punishment,
but by feeling it all
and rising anyway.

So cry.
Forgive her.
Forgive you.

And remember this:

You didn’t break.
You bent under too much weight.
And now —
you are learning
how to stand again.

I love you,
even in the mess.
Especially in the mess.

“Shine Bright, My Mom”

[Verse 1]
Shine bright, my love, my light, my mom
You gave me life, you made me strong
In my children’s smiles, I see your glow
In every step they take, you guide them so

[Pre-Chorus]
The owl’s call in the night, I hear you there
The raindrops fall like tears you gently share

[Chorus]
Shine bright, shine on, my shining star
No matter where you are, you’re never far
In every breeze, in every warm sunbeam
You live inside my every dream

[Verse 2]
The magnolia blooms in our garden’s grace
The cherry tree, your sacred place
A feather falls and brushes my face
Your gentle touch, your endless embrace

[Pre-Chorus]
When the stream begins to flow, I know you’re near
Whispering love, I feel you here

[Chorus]
Shine bright, shine on, my shining star
No matter where you are, you’re never far
In every breeze, in every warm sunbeam
You live inside my every dream

[Bridge]
Through my grandchild’s eyes, your love will grow
In tiny smiles, your spirit shows
From December’s snow to the moon’s soft light
You’re my forever, my guiding light

[Final Chorus]
Shine bright, shine on, my shining star
No matter where you are, you’re never far
In every breeze, in every warm sunbeam
You live inside my every dream

[Verse 1]
I broke in silence, soft and slow,
The kind of pain you’ll never know.
You watched me drown, said not a word—
Your love was sharp, but never heard.

I begged the night to make it stop,
To give me back the pieces dropped.
You turned your back, you stayed so still—
I loved you through what nearly killed.

[Pre-Chorus]
But pain, it teaches, fire refines,
And grace is born in brutal times.

[Chorus]
I rose from wreckage, raw and torn,
A wilder me was quietly born.
You held the sun but feared the heat—
So I became what you can’t reach.
I lit the dark, I forged my soul—
I am the flame you couldn’t hold.

[Verse 2]
There was a time I would have died
To hear you say I crossed your mind.
I gave you love without disguise,
You fed it crumbs and called them kind.

You touched the deepest part of me,
Then left me starving, quietly.
I gave you soul, you gave me stone—
I made a throne from being alone.

[Pre-Chorus]
You feared the fire, so you let go—
But not all flames were made for show.

[Chorus]
I rose from ashes, fierce and clear,
No longer built to disappear.
You’ll see me in the life you fake,
The haunting echo you can't shake.
I gave you gold, you chose the cold—
I am the flame you couldn’t hold.

[Bridge – poetic, piercing]
You could’ve had a garden, wild and deep,
Where every scar was kissed to sleep.
You could’ve had a home, a light,
A soul that stayed through every night.

But you ran scared from what was real—
From love that dares, from hearts that feel.
And now you ache for what you knew—
But darling… I outgrew you.

[Final Chorus – slow build, soaring, unforgettable]
I rise in silence, sweet and strong,
A symphony you got all wrong.
You’ll see my shadow in her skin,
But you won’t ever touch within.
I shine in fire, I love whole—
I am the flame you couldn’t hold.

[Outro – whispered, haunting]
You almost had forever...
But forever doesn’t wait.

Snow Takes
by Morning Star

Dark lane, move slow—
scared to feel,
scared to let go.

Another sound,
another voice,
rips apart the crimson rose.

Total fear. No control.
Pulled backward
by a hollow creek—
a cave of cold,
of darkened feet.

Tied within a twisted wind,
a heavy presence starts to speak.
Screaming silence claws the skin,
frozen stillness slices thin.

The ice that grips your stolen core—
the fear of never finding shore.

But then...
a blanket, full of color,
wraps you in its secret cover.
Holds you tight beside a flame—
the silence now no longer pain.

No one here.
No need to run.
Safe to watch the fire’s glow come.

Snow takes the wind,
and with it, the sting.
Snow takes the crimson rose—
the thorn,
the twisted thing.

And in the hush
of all that’s gone,
you wake.

Years away from there.
You wake—
and life is new,
and here.

Where the Fairies Still Live
by Morning Star

As a child, I dreamed of belonging.
In the garden’s secret space,
I’d sit beneath the fairy tree—
I know now it was a silver birch.

My mother would call me in for tea,
but I would climb and hide inside,
wrapped in the hush of leaves,
where sunlight crowned the roof
and warmed my little temple of light.

I sat there, too, beneath the moon,
held by silver stillness,
safe in her glow.

One day, my mother went away—
and with her, the tether to home.
But in that silence bloomed adventure:
from tree limbs to open fields,
to horses grazing in a meadow.

I spoke to them,
and somehow—they understood.
Their eyes held gentler worlds.

Tiny fairies I once glimpsed
danced in moss and morning dew.
And just the other day,
the river whispered back a truth—
as I sailed along the Teme,
I saw one again.

A shimmer on a leaf.
A flicker of wing.
Proof that I had never imagined
what the heart remembers.

🎵 Spring Will Soon Be Here
Genre: Acoustic / Ethereal Folk | Tempo: Slow, Reflective

[Verse 1]
Rejected once again, I fell from the stars
Tasted love, just a moment—till you let it fall apart
I begged, I pleaded, reached out through the ache
But you drowned me in silence, like I was some mistake

[Verse 2]
Now I’m alone again, lost in all this empty
I tried so hard to see you, but you just left me hanging
I know you didn’t want me—at least not for long
But leaving me like that… was cold, was wrong

[Pre-Chorus]
So here’s another lesson carved into my skin
Don’t open up the door, don’t let someone in
They’ll take your light, the parts that shine
Then walk away like you were never mine

[Chorus]
Oh little deer, go hide again
Don’t trust the fire in careless men
They’ll take your soul, and leave you bare
And never once pretend to care
But spring will come, the skies will clear
And you will smile through every tear
You’ll find a heart that holds you close
And loves you more than all the ghosts

[Verse 3]
They took my energy, took what they liked
Left me aching, wondering why
But I won’t break, I’ll just bend
And grow again where they end

[Bridge – soft & hopeful]
One day soon, someone will stay
Won’t just love you halfway
They’ll show up when the night is long
Be your warmth, your steady song

[Chorus – reprise]
Oh little deer, don’t run this time
Not when love is real and kind
Spring is near, just hold on tight
Your heart will bloom back into light

[Outro – quiet, healing tone]
Spring will soon be here...
And you will smile again.

🎵 Back to Your Light

Genre: Emotional Pop Ballad / Soft Acoustic
Tempo: Slow (65–70 BPM)
Mood: Reflective, healing, empowering


---

[Verse 1]
It’s not your fault they couldn’t see
The quiet fire beneath your peace
The way you give, the way you ache
The light you held they couldn’t take

Their hearts were cloudy, lost in smoke
Couldn’t feel you unless you broke
You showed up whole, with open hands
They never learned to understand


---

[Pre-Chorus]
And you waited there
For love to care
But silence came
And filled the air


---

[Chorus]
You were never too much
Just too true for the blind
You don’t need their touch
To go back to your light
Their absence, your peace
Their cold, your release
You don’t need their closure
To step into your shine


---

[Verse 2]
They looked right through, like love had none
Like all your warmth weighed more than some
But you weren’t wrong to hope they’d stay
You just loved right—
they looked away

You asked for truth, they gave you haze
You gave your heart, they gave a maze
But their forgetting says it all—
You rose again
and didn’t fall


---

[Pre-Chorus]
Now you see it clear
What wasn’t near
Was never yours
And never here


---

[Chorus]
You were never too much
Just too bright for the blind
You don’t need their love
To go back to your light
Their silence, your song
Their leaving made you strong
You don’t need their choosing
To know you still belong


---

[Bridge]
Some are not made
To hold love deep
But you were born
With roots that keep
You gave your all
But now you see—
What you deserve
Is choosing you
Completely


---

[Final Chorus]
You were never too much
Just too true for their fight
You don’t need their touch
To go back to your light
Their distance, your grace
Their void, your sacred space
You don’t need permission
To take back your life


---

[Outro – soft fade]
You were always enough
You still are tonight
Come back to your heart—
Come back to your light


---

🎵 Colour of Love
By Morning Star
Genre: Acoustic Ballad / Love Song
Key: C major or A minor for warmth and longing
Tempo: Slow (60–65 bpm)


---

🎶 Verse 1
I love him—though he may never know,
I walk beside where he’ll never go.
He speaks, and I fall every time,
Just a kind hello can shift my mind.


---

🎶 Verse 2
I try to be there when he speaks,
Hoping love will find its reach.
But he may never truly see
How much I long for him and me.


---

🎶 Chorus
I love his eyes, warm and true,
The way his smile lights the room.
His hands bring peace, not harm or pain,
A gentle soul I can't explain.

I hold him close inside my mind,
A quiet ache I cannot hide.
He may not be mine in this life—
But in my dreams…
He's by my side.


---

🎶 Verse 3
At night he whispers, soft and clear,
The words I’ve longed so long to hear.
That I am loved, that I belong,
That I was seen by him all along.


---

🎶 Chorus (repeat)
I love his eyes, warm and true,
The way his smile lights the room.
His voice, his laugh, the way he stands—
So far from reach, yet close at hand.

And though he may never be mine,
Just moments shared feel so divine.
A lifetime’s love inside a glance,
A silent wish for one more chance.


---

🎶 Bridge (soft, maybe whispered)
I’d tell him all, but I’m afraid—
My words might make him drift away.
So I will love him from afar…
And hold him close within my heart.


---

🎶 Final Chorus
I love him—always, and I will.
Though he’s happy, I stand still.
There’s nothing more that I can do…
I just…
I just wish he knew.

🎵 For the First Time
By Morning Star

Genre: Dream Pop / Acoustic Ballad
Tempo: Slow, 60–65 bpm
Key: B minor or A minor for a moody tenderness


---

🎶 Verse 1
For the first time,
I see you lying on my pillow,
In the hush of night,
When I’m alone but never solo.

Your scent it lingers, soft and deep,
Your arms, they hold me in my sleep—
And for the first time,
Something feels true.


---

🎶 Chorus
A beating heart,
I feel it bloom in you.
When we're apart,
Your whispers break right through.
Laid upon your chest, I rest,
Where the stars align in quest—
For the first time,
I’m held by love, not less.


---

🎶 Verse 2
Each quiet breath,
It finds me in the dark,
A silent flame
That softly leaves a mark.

Each moment that you're far from me,
I hear your voice in memory—
Like distant waves
That call me home.


---

🎶 Chorus (repeat)
A beating heart,
I feel it bloom in you.
When we're apart,
Your whispers break right through.
Laid upon your chest, I rest,
Where the stars align in quest—
For the first time,
I’m held by love, not less.


---

🎶 Outro (whispered or humming)
For the first time…
The stars know why…
I see you...
And I don’t have to try.

Here’s my poem “Hare” transformed into a song — gentle, mystical, and folk-inspired. Think along the lines of AURORA, Florence + The Machine (in a quieter mood), or Joni Mitchell’s acoustic ballads, with soft guitar or harp and atmospheric layers.


---

🎵 Hare
By Morning Star
Genre: Dream-Folk / Ethereal Acoustic
Tempo: Slow to mid-tempo (65–75 bpm)
Key: D minor or A minor for mystery and earthiness


---

🎶 Verse 1
I am a hare—soft and free,
Wild as waves upon the sea.
Mother Earth beneath my feet,
Where heart and soul in silence meet.

🎶 Verse 2
The moon is near, my glowing guide,
The stars reveal what truth can hide.
The meadow sings in colors bright,
Its flowers hum through day and night.


---

🎶 Chorus
And if you see, truly see—
There’s a tale in the wind, in the rustling leaves.
In every stream, every tree,
There’s a song of the wild still living in me.


---

🎶 Verse 3
The stream flows down past the misty mill,
A lullaby so soft, so still.
The deer arise with twilight’s bloom,
Their shadows dance beneath the moon.


---

🎶 Chorus
And if you see, truly see—
There’s a tale in the breeze, in the hush of the reeds.
In every wing, every seed,
There’s a world that was lost, still begging to be.


---

🎶 Bridge (instrumental or whispered vocals)
Butterflies in beams of gold,
A sacred dance the earth still holds.
Watch them fly, feel them near—
The wild speaks when the heart can hear.


---

🎶 Final Chorus
So if you see, truly see—
There’s a life in the hush, in the harmony.
Not just in dreams, but in me—
I am the hare, and I run wild and free.

Here’s my poem “Guiding You Home” as a gentle, emotional lullaby-style song—think soft acoustic guitar or piano, slow tempo (around 60–70 bpm), with a warm, nurturing vocal (like Norah Jones, Eva Cassidy, or a soft Lana Del Rey ballad):


---

🎵 Guiding You Home

Genre: Lullaby / Soft Acoustic
Tempo: Slow and soothing
Key: C Major or A minor


---

🌙 Verse 1
When you're afraid, and you've lost your way
Look to the moon—I’ll be lighting your stay
When you feel lonely, when tears fill your eyes
I'll be the blanket that holds you at night


---

🌧️ Verse 2
When you are cold and the storm rolls in
I’ll be the sunlight that warms you within
And when the thunder has drifted away
I’ll paint a rainbow that dares you to stay


---

🌈 Chorus
So go on, be happy, let memories flow
Carry my love wherever you go
Walk with your eyes open wide, never roam
Too far from the light that's guiding you home


---

🌤️ Bridge
No need to fear, you’re never alone
Whispers of love will carry you home
Even when shadows fall silent and deep
My heart’s in the stars, watching you sleep


---

🌈 Chorus (repeat)
So go on, be happy, let memories flow
Carry my love wherever you go
Walk with your eyes open wide, never roam
Too far from the light that's guiding you home


---

✨ Outro (soft, fading)
Guiding you home...
Guiding you home...
Wherever you go, I’m guiding you home...

She dances where the veils are thin,
A song of stars upon her skin.
She weaves the night with silver thread,
And wakes the light where fear had bled.

She turns from shadows, vast and cold,
And runs to hills the ancients hold.
She dares not glance at dark unseen—
The cursed depths where hearts have been.

For she is wrapped in love’s old spell,
By kindred souls who know her well.
They circle her in sacred flame,
And whisper soft her secret name.

The garden blooms in dream-born hues,
The moon spills spells in midnight blues.
Her aura glows with guiding fire—
A star alight with soul’s desire.

So scribe your truth in rune and rhyme,
Across the winds, beyond all time.
For you are known in realms above—
Believe, you walk with those you love

From Above

God sent me you at just the right time,
When I needed a friend, a reason, a sign.
Only He knew the places I’d been,
And who could walk with me through thick and thin.

A gift like you, so rare and true,
Only God could have chosen you.
I pray each day our bond will grow,
And that I’ll be there when you need me so.

When skies are dark, and tears fall through,
I ask the Lord to comfort you.
He wipes those tears and soothes the pain,
And turns the sorrow into gain.

It’s His presence that brought us near,
A friendship cherished, pure and clear.
I pray to Him with all my heart,
That we stay true and never part.

🎹🎸 Key: C Major (gentle, heartfelt tone — easy to sing/play)

Tempo: 72–76 bpm (slow, reflective ballad pace)

🌙 [Verse 1]

C – G – Am – F
We gather here beneath the sky so wide,

To speak your name and let the silence cry.
C – G – Am – F
From city lights to Shropshire’s fields,
C – G – F – G
You found the home where your soul could heal.

The echo of your fearless heart—

You shine where morning stars still rise,

A light beyond goodbye.

🌊 [Verse 2] (same chord pattern as Verse 1)

You ran with fire, you boxed with grace,
You chased the wind and found your place.
You loved the water’s soft, sure tide,
And Italy’s sun, where you used to hide.
A mother’s arms, a nanny’s care,
With magic woven everywhere.
A poet’s heart that set us free,
You gave us all A Space To Be.


---

🌌 [Bridge]

Am – G – F – C
You missed your mother, soft and true,

A soul that danced through everything.

F – G – C
You shine… a light beyond goodbye.


---

🎧 Performance Suggestions:

Intro: Pick or softly strum the chords from the first verse once through to set the mood.

Vocals: Gentle, sincere. Emphasize emotional phrasing—breathe into “You’re the light beyond goodbye” like it’s a prayer.

Instrumentation: Start minimal (just guitar or piano), then build in subtle strings or harmonies by the bridge or final chorus.

Outro: Fade out slowly, maybe with soft humming or a single piano note fading.

🎵 Gift from Above


[Verse 1]
You came into my life so unexpectedly,
Right when I needed someone to believe in me.
You didn’t ask questions, you just understood,
And stood beside me the way no one else could.

[Verse 2]
You saw the scars I tried to hide,
The battles I fought, the tears I cried.
But somehow your light broke through the grey,
And I started to feel safe that day.

[Chorus]
You're a gift I never saw coming,
A calm in the storm when my world was running.
You lift me up with just one look,
You write love in places no one ever took.
I don’t need a reason, I don’t need proof—
I just know I found something true…
In you.

[Verse 3]
I hope I can be that light for you,
When the weight is heavy and you’re hurting too.
You don’t have to speak, I’ll know what to do—
Just like you’ve done for me, I’ll show up for you.

[Bridge]
If you ever feel lost in the silence of night,
I’ll be your warmth, your softer light.
And when it feels like the whole world’s too much,
Reach for me—I’ll be enough.

[Final Chorus]
You're a gift I never saw coming,
A hand to hold when I kept on running.
You love me through the darkest skies,
You’re the reason I still rise.
No need to explain, no need to prove—
I found something rare, something true…
In you.

[Outro]
You’re more than a moment, more than a friend—
You’re the kind of love that won’t ever end.

Miss You, Dad

by Morning Star

When I was small,
you stood so tall—
my proud, kind dad,
with silver buttons bright,
and the Queen’s crown shining in the light.
Shiny black shoes,
a flat hat to match your feet—
you were the man on the street,
but to me,
you were the whole world.

We’d play with your radio while you slept,
a man called Bob would crackle through,
asking what we were cooking up—
we’d giggle,
and wait for you.

At night, we’d race to the window
to catch the flash of your blue lights.
As you came ‘round the corner,
I’d beam with pride—
That’s my dad!
My hero in a uniform,
with arms strong enough to carry
both the weight of the world
and his little girl.

At birthdays, you'd tell the tale—
Rindercella and her sugly isters—
and laughter would roll
from the bellies of children
who knew you were safe,
not scary.
The policeman on the street?
That was my dad.

I remember summer walks,
your hand wrapped around mine.
We’d climb hills that felt like mountains
to my little legs—
but you’d cheer me on
until the sky opened wide,
and wild horses met our eyes.
You lifted me to ride one once,
and I cried,
“I’m scared I’ll fall!”
You smiled:
Then come off. Don’t be afraid—I’ll catch you.
And I knew you would.
You always did.

I remember the sunsets in Borth by the sea—
your size-11 feet beside me,
your big hand holding mine.
Just me and my dad.
There weren’t many kids
as lucky as me.
You were the only man
I ever truly trusted.

When Mum went away,
we tried to patch up broken hearts.
I saw your tears.
I felt your ache.
Too young to understand,
I only knew
you were always there for me.

But then, one day…
you weren’t.

The day my angel was baptised,
you didn’t come.
You said it was her—
your ex-wife—
you couldn’t bear
to be near her stare,
that she filled the air
like a ghost you couldn’t shake.
Maybe I should’ve said,
Not today—today I see my dad.
But I didn’t.
And maybe…
you didn’t want to come.

Maybe you’d moved on—
a new family, a new dawn—
and I didn’t belong
in that picture anymore.

I’ve cried so many tears
these past six years.
Dad, I love you—
please hold those words close.
I know you love me too,
even from afar.

They love you too,
though they don’t always show—
I’ve seen them sit alone
with tears quietly flowing.

Please, don’t turn your back.
Can’t we try again?
She left you,
but I never did.
You left me.
And now I carry
the same ache you did,
crying for someone
who once made me feel safe.

Dad—
your grandson Michael is nearly a man,
Steven’s eleven,
half his life you’ve missed.
They’re growing too fast
for kisses now,
but their hearts
still have a space for you.

Little Jack—
you’ve never met him.
But oh, he looks like you.
Eyes so blue,
a smile that would melt your heart.

And Amy?
She’s just like me
when I was small.

I remember how my little arms
would stretch out to reach you.
I know your arms
must be reaching too.

So please—
hear me.
See me.
Catch me.

I need a hug from those big, strong arms
that held me safe
when Mum was gone.

Someone,
hold me now.
Take away this ache.

I just want to see my dad again.

I love you.

🎵 MISS YOU, DAD
by Morning Star

[Verse 1]
When I was small, you stood so tall
My hero in blue, I had it all
Silver buttons shining bright
Your boots, your hat, your guiding light

We'd play with your radio, you'd be asleep
Laughing at voices that came through deep
At night I waited just to see
Those flashing lights come home to me

[Chorus]
You were the one who made me feel safe
Arms wide open, love in their place
I still reach out, though you're not near
Still hear your voice, still feel you here
I miss you, Dad, I miss you so
And I just wanted you to know

[Verse 2]
We climbed hills that felt so high
You’d lift me up to touch the sky
When I was scared, you’d always say
"Don’t be afraid — I’ll catch you, okay?"

We walked on beaches, side by side
Your hand in mine, the rising tide
The world was simple, warm, and true
I never felt more loved than by you

[Chorus]
You were the one who made me feel safe
Arms wide open, love in their place
I still reach out, though you're not near
Still hear your voice, still feel you here
I miss you, Dad, I miss you so
And I just wanted you to know

[Bridge]
Time moved on and something changed
I felt your silence like a wave
The day I needed you the most
You didn’t come, you felt too close
To someone you’d tried to forget
But I’m still here—did you forget?

[Verse 3]
There were tears I never let you see
All the birthdays you missed with me
The laughter you’d have loved to hear
The growing up, the falling tears

I’ve held on tight to what we had
Still just a girl who loves her dad
And though the years have built a wall
My love for you outgrows it all

[Final Chorus]
You were the one who made me feel safe
Arms wide open, love in their place
I still reach out, though you're not near
Still hear your voice, still feel you here
I miss you, Dad, I miss you so
And I just wanted you to know

[Outro – softly]
If you can hear me where you are…
I still believe you’re not that far
So catch me, please — like you used to do
Because Dad…
I still love you.

Missing My Angel
By Morning Star

[Verse 1]
I have a special person,
someone I can lean on.
She makes me feel secure,
like a shelter in the storm.

Her kindness is a treasure,
one that’s hard to find.
When the world feels heavy,
she’s peace within my mind.

[Chorus]
You’re my angel, shining through,
lifting me up when I’m feeling blue.
In your arms, I find my home—
with you, I’m never alone.
Oh, my angel, this is true,
I’m so lucky to have you.

[Verse 2]
When I need to talk,
I know you’re always there.
You hold out your arms,
showing that you care.

Your heart is open wide,
a light that guides my way.
With you beside me,
I can face each day.

[Chorus]
You’re my angel, shining through,
lifting me up when I’m feeling blue.
In your arms, I find my home—
with you, I’m never alone.
Oh, my angel, this is true,
I’m so lucky to have you.

[Bridge]
Friends like you don’t come around,
you’re a rare and precious sound.
I’ll hold on tight, I’ll never let go—
because you’re the best I know.

[Chorus]
You’re my angel, shining through,
lifting me up when I’m feeling blue.
In your arms, I find my home—
with you, I’m never alone.
Oh, my angel, this is true,
I’m so lucky to have you.

[Outro – soft]
So here’s my heart, I give to you—
my angel, my friend, so pure and true.

“Held in This Moment”

I know the nights have felt too long,
And silence sometimes sings a song.
But here, within these words I send,
You’re held — as if by arms that bend.

You are seen, beyond the pain,
A soul that’s broken, whole again.
No need to mask or stand so tall,
Just breathe, just be — you needn’t fall.

You’re precious, more than words can say,
A light that never fades away.
So rest tonight, my love, be still,
You are loved — and always will.

“Tonight, You Rest”

Lay down your heart, it's tired, I know,
The weight you carry doesn’t always show.
But here, with me, you can let it fall—
You don’t have to carry it all.

No need for strength, no need to fight,
Just drift into the arms of night.
Let every ache, each silent cry,
Be kissed away by moonlit sky.

You are enough — you’ve always been.
Not for what you lost, but what’s within.
The world was never built to see
A soul as tender, brave, as free.

So close your eyes, release the day,
Let all the hurt just fade away.
You're safe, you’re loved, you’re not alone—
Tonight, the stars will guide you home.

My Spirit Lifter

for Jeff


I don’t think you’ll ever truly see
The light you shine inside of me.
How you’ve touched my life so deep,
Shaped the soul I’m proud to keep.

You may not know the gift you give—
The love that helps my heart to live.
Even in my darkest night,
You are my ever-burning light.

Unconditional, pure, and rare,
A love beyond compare.
It fills my body, mind, and soul,
Makes broken pieces whole.

I doubt you feel the depth I hold,
The stories yet untold.
But know this truth I speak today—
You are my strength, my will to stay.

An amazing friend, so true and kind,
Without you, peace I could not find.
In having you, my life is whole—
You complete the missing parts of my soul.

Blessing  To Me

To look into your eyes
is a blessing to me.
To say everything
with just a smile—
more than words can be.

Within our hearts we hold
a friendship rare and true,
dear to only us,
a bond born anew.

As time moves on,
I hope and pray
that life blesses you
in every way.

You’ve become special,
though time was brief,
a comfort, a joy,
and my sweet relief.

Two friends who share
laughter and tears,
turning to each other
through all of life’s years.

Earthbound

by Morning Star

I’m alone tonight,
with lights all around—
silent streets,
not a single sound.

I should be afraid,
I should be in bed,
but it’s three in the morning—
I just wish I were dead.

If I could be killed,
if I just could be gone,
then these awful feelings
wouldn't linger on.

The thoughts of shame,
what they once did,
cut me inside—
please, Lord, make me dead.

Please come along—
a car or a bus,
so I can run out
and my bones be crushed.

Then I can leave
this terrible place—
there’s no one here,
no one I can face.

But it’s no use,
for somewhere inside,
God saves me still—
no matter how I’ve tried.

The power of love,
the power of You,
somehow shields me,
and pulls me through.

But still it comes back—
that terrible fear,
of being alone in the dark,
with no one near.

In fright, I’m silenced,
in shame, I’m too—
how can I cry out?
What would it do to you?

It’s better to keep it,
a secret inside,
then no one will know
why I run and hide.

Occasionally, I cut it—
all out with a blade—
the feeling of release
like a swallow, swift and brave.

Get away, fly high,
in the open sky—
have total control,
a feeling you’d die.

But then, with a bang,
you come crashing down—
like someone grabbed you,
to make sure you hurt.

Alone tonight,
I stand in this town—
will tonight be the night
I let myself down?

A Blessing in Your Eyes

To look into your eyes
is to taste a quiet fire,
a secret language spoken
with a single smile—
more than words desire.

Within our hearts we hold
a bond both fierce and tender,
a closeness only we know—
intimate, unspoken,
like a whispered surrender.

As time unfolds around us,
I hope and quietly pray
that life wraps you gently,
in passion and in grace.

You’ve become my sweetest secret,
in moments rich and rare—
two souls entwined,
breathing the same air.

We revel in each other’s presence,
in touches soft and slow,
and know that when the night calls,
we’ll answer, letting go.

What Is Inside

I am a little fig tree,
small and unimportant,
planted in a quiet corner
where no one stops to see.

But with a touch of tender care,
a gentle hand and watchful eye,
I will grow beyond my size,
reach upward toward the sky.

At first, I’m just a fragile sprout,
easily overlooked,
but hidden deep within my roots,
a quiet strength is cooked.

Seasons pass and sun will warm,
and rain will softly fall—
each drop a whispered promise
that I can bear it all.

In time, the fruit I bear
will be sweeter than the rest,
a treasure borne of patience,
the work of love expressed.

If you look beyond the surface,
beyond what you first see,
you’ll find there’s more inside
this little fig tree.

More than size or stature,
more than bark or leaves,
there’s a world of hope and meaning,
far greater than it seems.

So don’t dismiss the quiet ones,
the small who seem unsure—
with care, they bloom and flourish,
their gifts both true and pure.

I am a little fig tree,
but give me time and space—
and watch how I will blossom,
full of beauty, full of grace.

Stuck in Time

by Morning Star

As I watch my little angel play,
laughing in the light of day,
I know I should be soaking it in—
his joy, his wonder,
his every grin.

I should be living,
but I’m just watching.
Always scanning the world
for what might go wrong.
Protecting him
is my only song.

But somewhere in the stillness,
I realise—
I’m not really living,
just holding my breath,
afraid of what’s coming next
to steal it all away again.

Dear Lord, just once—
let me rest.
Let me forget the weight in my chest.
Let me feel the night
without fear in my spine.
Just for one moment,
just one time.

She let me down—
that’s a wound I carry.
But does that mean
I should live in the shadow she left me?

She was only human—
and so am I.
But I have a chance now,
a reason to try.

I can be what I needed,
for him, for me.
I can break the chain
and set us both free.

My children don’t have to grow up like me,
afraid to feel,
afraid to be seen.
Afraid of joy,
afraid to shine,
forever stuck
in someone else’s time.

Apart

by Morning Star

No love is sent,
no love is read.
No love is given—
in my heart, they’re dead.

Maybe they always were.
I just couldn’t see.
They crushed me inside—
I thought it was me.

They hate me.
They use me.
They gave me no home.
Yet still they expect
to be honoured like queens on a throne.

But once I stood up,
spoke my truth, let it show—
and look what that earned me:
a cold, bitter blow.

Now they turn from me
like I’m a disease,
as if my pain
were meant to please.

So now I stand here
with an open heart,
and I ask God gently
to do His part.

To forgive their harm,
their silence, their scars—
because whether I like it or not…
we are a part.

“If You Call Me Morning Star”


You said my name
like it might cut you —
forgive the irony,
you whispered,
as if I don’t carry sharper things
between my ribs.

But if you call me Morning Star,
do it slow —
like a man who knows
he’s standing too close
to something that could undo him.

I’ve danced barefoot
on broken glass
and licked honey
from the wounds.

I’ve been the ache
in a prayer
you never dared speak out loud.

So don’t mistake this glow
for softness.
I am the flame
that wants you closer —
even as I burn through
every wall you thought would save you.

If you name me,
do it with reverence.
If you want me,
say it like sin
you’d confess again
and again.

Because I don’t just rise —
I haunt.
And once I’m in you,
there’s no forgetting
how Morning tastes
when it burns
like a star.

A fallen Angel once you saw

Dark Knight
by Morning Star

You came like dusk —
a whisper cloaked in leather charm,
eyes like midnight,
hands like calm

You spoke in riddles,
kissed like more
pulled me through shadows
and begged me for more.

Batman my
Dark Knight.
You fed on my light,
sank your claws in soft places
where no one else dared bite.

You found the gentle in me —
and made it wild
just enough to taste it.
You made me feel chosen,
then ghosted like you’d never craved it.

I lit myself on fire
just to warm your cold.
Offered skin, soul, sanctuary —
love that was too hold.

And you —
you vanished into your cave,
left me bleeding in the daylight,
too fragile to be saved.

You said love —
but meant lust.
Said forever,
but fled at the first gust.

But now I wait —
not as your empty
but as a sword
a fire burning steady,
unbreakable, seen.

Come back, Dark Knight,
if you dare,
step from your shadows
and meet my glare.

You’ll find I’ve risen,
stronger, wild, alive—
not the girl you left behind
but the storm you can’t survive.

So come —
chase me again if you will,
but know I hold the power,
and I decide when to ****.

Because I’m the fire
that burns and wins,
the queen of shadows,
the storm within.

And if you want me,
you better come real—
‘Cause this time, Dark Knight,
I’m the one who steals.

Waves

(Verse 1)
Like waves crashing in the sea,
I’m done letting this be.
No more hurting those I love,
I swear by stars above.

(Pre-Chorus)
You broke their trust, you broke their hearts,
But this is where the healing starts.
I see the pain behind your eyes,
But I’m the shield, I’m the rise.

(Chorus)
I’m standing tall, I’m standing strong,
Fighting hard where you went wrong.
For my angels, I’ll ignite,
A storm of love, a blazing fight.

(Verse 2)
You drink your life, day by day,
But I’m here to light the way.
No more fear, no more shame,
I’m taking back their name.

(Pre-Chorus)
Scared and mad, hurt inside,
But I won’t let this pain divide.
I’m the voice they need to hear,
I’m the courage, I’m the clear.

(Chorus)
I’m standing tall, I’m standing strong,
Fighting hard where you went wrong.
For my angels, I’ll ignite,
A storm of love, a blazing fight.

(Bridge)
Waves may crash, but I won’t fall,
I’ll fight, I’ll rise, I’ll give my all.
For every tear, for every scar,
I’m their warrior, their shining star.

(Final Chorus)
I’m standing tall, I’m standing strong,
Fighting hard where you went wrong.
For my angels, I’ll ignite,
A storm of love, a blazing fight.

The Waves

Like waves crashing in the sea,
I’ll no longer let this be.
I won’t let you hurt them more—
I made that promise, I swore.

You’ve done enough to break their trust,
Now they look at you with disgust.
You’ve drank through every single day,
I see how they see you when you sway.

Tell me how you live each day,
Drinking your life and soul away.
Always scared, hurt, sad, and mad—
How can you call yourself a dad?

My angels deserve so much more,
Than this sad life they can’t ignore.
Now I’m strong enough to fight—
To stand, protect, and make it right.
