Fortress of Pride
In the mirror's glow, where shadows dance, I stood so tall, lost in my own glance. With a crown of thorns, I wore my pride, Unaware of the storm that brewed inside. Each triumph whispered sweet, seductive lies, I scaled the heights while ignoring the cries Of those I’d brushed aside on my ascent, The echoes of their hurt, the love I never lent. I basked in glory, a sovereign alone, Believing my kingdom was carved from stone. But pride's golden chains, though glittering bright, Held me captive, veiling the truth from my sight. Blind to the bridges burned in my wake, I danced on the ledge, oblivious, opaque. Each step I took, proud and unbending, Missed the hands I’d pushed away, the hearts I was trending. Yet as twilight falls, and the stars start to gleam, A whisper of doubt disrupts my grand dream. The weight of my ego begins to unfurl, Revealing the damage done to my world. Now in the quiet, the silence so loud, I see the reflection of a fractured proud. Pride, my companion, once felt like a shield, Now unfolds the wounds that my blindness concealed. In humility's embrace, I find my way back, To mend what was broken, to fill in the cracks. For pride led me astray, a tempest inside, But in letting it go, I begin to abide. With open eyes now, I gather the sight, To cherish connections, to walk in the light. No longer a king in a fortress of pride, But a soul on a journey, with others beside.

Oar
In the corner are bodies that gradually vanishing. Traversing the road that will soon resemble a sea. There is a figure of an eye at the northern peak. It is dark but quiet. The wailing seems to be imminent. This afternoon is no different from the past ones. Yet the fools remain unmoved. They... read more

Unknown Place
🌹 Have you ever wanted to run, to vanish beyond familiar streets, to shed the weight of known faces, and step into a place where no one calls your name? A quiet dream, a pull to distant horizons, where silence wraps around like comfort, and every path feels new, untouched. Not for escape, but... read more

A Hollow Space
🌹 Do you feel it too? That quiet morning weight, when you wake, yet feel unlit, a hollow space where drive once was. The bed holds you soft and still, its warmth a gentle pull, and the world outside feels distant, like a place you’re not meant to go. Tasks wait, voices call, but they sound... read more

Marks Left Behind
🌹 A healthy man leaves gentle traces, his words like soft rain, feeding what they touch, encouraging growth, and then stepping back, letting others bloom in their own light. A toxic man carves his mark, his words like heavy stones, weighing down the spirit, imposing himself, holding others in... read more

In the heart of the storm
(An ark survival inspired poem) Beneath a sky of tempest gray, With shadows deep and skies astray, I ride the winds, my tribe at hand, To strike the heart of enemy land. The distant roar of a dino's cry, Echoes fierce, beneath the sky, But courage grips my soul like steel, For in this fight,... read more

Brother's Bond
In the quiet shadows, where laughter resides, A brother's spirit, in love, abides. Through storms and sunshine, we walk side by side, A bond unbroken, no need to hide.

She's a flower
She is a flower that blooms at night, In the darkness, she shines so bright. Quiet and solitary, she keeps to herself, Guarding her essence, like a treasure on a shelf.

Between Youth and Maturity
🌹 He speaks of dreams with wild eyes, built of stars, but crumbling stones. A heartbeat quickened by what-ifs, in a world he’s yet to claim. He stumbles through his steps, carving paths still soft with doubt. Unseasoned by the weight of time, reaching forward, but unsure. #poem #love #dating... read more

Crossed Horizons
🌹 The sun rises for me as it sets for you, casting long shadows in worlds we can't share. You close your eyes to the day I open mine, a cycle that keeps us near, yet worlds apart. Can the line where night meets morning stretch, a bridge to span the hours that separate us? #poem #love #dating... read more

Whispers of apology
In the quiet space between us, I find the words caught in the air, A tapestry of moments woven, Each thread a memory, a silent prayer. If you were standing here beside me, Your eyes, a mirror to my soul, I’d weave a word of genuine sorrow, For the pain I’ve caused, the cracks in our whole. I wish... read more

Yet, under the same sun, the shadows linger, whispering the secrets of lives we could share. #poem #love... read more

Ashes of His Words
🌹 I held the letters close, so sweet, But now they crumble at my feet. Each word, a lie dressed up in care, I burn them now, into the air. His toys, his gifts, all meant to please, Are nothing but deceitful keys. To memories, I set aflame, And free myself from all his games. #poem #love #dating... read more

The Weight of Choice

Likes and Lies
🌹 A heart, a thumbs-up, blue and bold— It’s easy warmth, or so I’m told. But under screens, in hidden light, Do they know me or just the sight? A thousand likes don’t fill the space Of longing for a deeper grace, So here I ask, in silent scrolls, Am I just parts, or am I whole? #poem #love... read more

Beyond the Map
10,654 km marks the space, But not the measure of our grace. Our love’s a compass, lost and free, Guiding you back home to me. Will the world shrink and make us one? Or keep us distant, miles undone? In every star, I hope to see— A future where it’s just you and me. #poem #poema #dating #love... read more

Enough is a Word of Grace
🌹 Enough is a whisper, soft and kind, In a world that craves “more” and “new,” It’s a breath, a pause, a space to find That I am whole, in all I do. With what I have, I choose to stand, Not reaching beyond reach— For in this life, enough is grand, And contentment is what I teach. #poem #life... read more

Strength in Silence
🌹 You don’t see the strength within until there’s no road but forward. When light fades and shadows stretch, your will becomes a quiet flame. It’s not in loud, proud words or fists, but in the steps you take each day. Strength you never knew you held, revealed by what you must endure. #poem... read more
