Pandora's pithos
I have opened the jar that, contained the evils of the world, I thought it was a gift, But it only brought danger and sadness, The gods have tricked me, Now only Elpis remains, I am tempted to release her, But I want to hope, So I leave her, Every day I’m reminded, Of the trick the gods, Have played on me, Of the fool, I have known, To be, For I released, Demons And beasts, Should I release Elpis? No Hope, Shall remain

I always wonder how a mortal could think themselves equal to gods. A being above another never tricks, they only create opportunity to see what the other will do given a decision. I think that's my favorite part of higher powers. It gives a figure to put blame on for our actions. If it was you that released the evils, dangers, and sadness. Then they are your responsibility, and others must live or leave with your life's choice. Keep hope close for one day you may give that too to others.

In the ring where warriors dance, I step with heavy heart, With every punch that lands on me, I play a twisted part.

Questions of strength
What is strength, I ponder, as shadows start to fall, Is it the might of muscle, or the courage in the small? Is it loud, a fierce eruption, like thunder's rolling sound, Or is it quiet resolve, where gentleness is found? Is strength the steel of battle, forged in fire and pain, Or tender hands... read more

The box I found today put me in a head space.
I found an old box of stuff. It was like a time capsule of who I was. Choices and decisions. Attempts to find myself through clothing and jewelry. My interest and gifts.

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

The Weight of Choice
🌹 Decisions press like stones, Lined in careful rows within, Each choice a shifting weight Tipped by heart or hand. In silence, I measure the pull, The gravity of each direction— One path swept clear, One laden with risk. #poem #thoughts #writing #life

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

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

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

Gentle Strength
🌹 Even in quiet, love is heard, Louder than any spoken word. Its gentle touch, a balm unseen, Soft yet strong, so pure and clean.

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.
