You'll never know how far you've ran; Until the race has finally began. Just barely starting to fall behind; Soon you won't be hard to find. Inching closer to the front; Each runner letting out a grunt. Before you know it you're finally first; All the runners start to thirst. Folks who take a simple defeat; While a liar can't take the heat. (edited)

Library of Alexandria

What if we could go to our past lives? Would we be royalty? Or star that once shone bright? Or maybe we would be the villains. If I could go back in time, Remove the science that stops, I would go to the library that was burnt And see the esoteric secrets of universe. Fictional characters will... read more

Safe Have Where?

I need a safe haven, not a house hotel motel People coming & going, noise all the time, people in & out, people staying in a room, dirty places & things, unorganized This not a AirBNB; thought it was supposed to "home" I'm not even sure what that is anymore, especially not in this house motel...

The Shape of Absence

There’s a silence where you used to be, A hollow echo, an empty sea. The world moves on, yet stays so still, A space unfilled, and always will. Your laughter lingers, a faint refrain, A fragile thread of joy and pain. I reach for shadows, trace the air, But find no comfort, nothing... read more

Whispers in the Dark

Beneath the moon's cold, silver glow, A shadow stirs where none should go. The wind it howls, a mournful cry, As whispers creep, though none know why. The forest hums with eerie dread, Its trees like fingers, gnarled and dead. A path unfolds, both dark and thin, Where secrets lie and... read more

Peace

In chaos' grasp, the world spins fast, Clouds of worry, shadows cast. Yet I roam where skies are clear, In every journey, I find my sphere. Mountains high, oceans wide, In nature's arms, my soul can glide. With every step, the noise retreats, Travel brings me peace, where silence greets.

Who am I? A whisper in the cold winter wind, Fading into the background, a shadow within. The mirror shows a face I barely know, A soul so lost, it no longer glows. I’ve been searching, seeking for something true, But what if the answer’s been hidden in plain view? A reflection... read more

Night fell in love

When night fell in love with day, Stars whispered secrets, soft and grey. Moonlight danced on fields of gold, A tale of warmth in shadows told.

You're lying to Yourself

You tell yourself you’ve moved on, but I see it in your eyes.

What are you Afraid of?

You say your heart is broken, shattered like glass, too fragile to trust again, too tired to risk the fall.

Trapped

In shadows cast by silent sighs, A love that fades beneath the skies, With every word, a heavy chain, A smile that hides the whispered pain. In laughter lost, the colors dim, What once was bright, now fragile, slim, Yet here we stand, afraid to break, Two hearts entwined, yet wide awake.

Unconventional

To the label of "unconventional beauty" I despise, A phrase that limits, that keeps our souls from the prize.
