In the middle of the dark,
there is always a light.
A small light,
but a light nonetheless.
In the stillness of dawn, I stand,
A single road stretches before me,
No forks, no detours, just the path ahead,
Two souls walk beside me, united in purpose.

Choices may seem like chains,
Yet I chose this journey, embraced the fight,
With every step, I shed the doubt,
For in this singular way, I find my strength.

The shadows whisper of what could have been,
But I silence them with resolve,
This path, though narrow, is mine to tread,
A testament to the courage I hold within.

No turning back, no second guessing,
I walk forward, heart ablaze,
For sometimes, the absence of choice
Is the freedom to forge my own fate.

With each stride, I conquer the unknown,
In the face of fear, I rise,
For I made the choice to embrace this road,
And in that choice, I find my light.
On paths unseen, my heart takes flight,
A journey penned in dawn's soft light.
May these verses, deeply sown,
Reflect the strength within your own.
he didn’t simply hold my hand
instead he cradled it between
both of his as if I was made
to be handled with care.
I didn’t dare tell him
I’ve been broken
so many times
It’s too late
to be gentle
Lost.

A whisper in the wind, a fading trace,
A heart adrift in empty, hollow space.
No landmarks rise, no guiding star to see,
Just endless grey where hope used to be.

Lost in the woods of doubt, a tangled vine,
Where shadows dance and twist in serpentine.
Each step a gamble, forward into fear,
A silent scream that no one seems to hear.

Lost in the crowd, a face without a name,
A flicker lost within a burning flame.
No recognition, no familiar hand,
Just anonymity across the land.

Lost in a dream, a phantom memory,
Clinging to fragments of what used to be.
A fragile echo of a life unknown,
A seed of longing, desperately sown.

Lost to the self, a fractured, shattered soul,
Searching for solace to make it whole.
A journey inward, a desperate plea,
To find the path back to what I can be.

But even lost, a chance to start anew,
To forge a self, resilient, strong, and true.
To shed the old, embrace the unknown way,
And find a purpose in the dawning day.

Don’t be alarmed
if evil blooms
where you sowed
your gentlest good.

Not all earth
welcomes roots
some soils rot
what should have stood.

So plant with love,
but learn the ground,
for even light
can be misunderstood.
A reflection on misplaced effort, toxic environments, and the wisdom of discernment.
just because I know
not to repeat the same silly decisions,
doesn’t mean I wish they weren’t made
You see
I do not regret
The love I gave
The love I found
The love I lost
It all returns
On the small balcony,
they sit blanket wrapped,
just past midnight.

Earth smells of rain,
cloud dazzling secrets.

As he leans in,
not for a kiss,
but to give a piece
of his past
to her soul.

Happy families, smiling,
enjoying time together,
atmosphere filled with their laughter.

And then -

in a moment of madness,
all silenced.

Bullets took over,
dead bodies lying all around.

Terror strikes the land
we call "Paradise on Earth."

When water is still, your reflection is clear,
A mirror of peace, drawing the heart near.
But when it stirs, the image distorts,
Like a restless mind, lost in thoughts.
Calm the waves, let silence shine,
And in the stillness waits the Divine.
