Hope Springs lasts

I came carrying spring to a garden that had forgotten its name— with rain still sleeping in my hands, and roses I had saved from another season. But some doors learn the shape of silence so well, they mistake a knock for a warning. So I left the flowers by the threshold, not knowing whether they… read more

Lamenting the sands of time.

For us humans, time is cruel. It waits for no one, it is spent with or without your consent, and none of it can ever be returned to you. The limited number of choices we made every day in our lives, has shaped us into who we are today, and the unfortunate, will lament the invisible path we walked… read more

Waiting

You asked for space, and with respect, I gave you that. But I cannot stand forever beside a gate that you have closed. I have a life to live, roads to walk, and dreams to chase. Yet leaving the gate does not mean I stopped waiting. I may wander, I may grow, I may walk far beyond its walls— but… read more

Taylor Swift's Songs into Peotry

Sparks Fly when we talked all night, You filled my life with Lavender Haze. The first message you sent became Our Song, And I swear, I was Enchanted to meet you. But it was only a Cruel Summer; Deep down, I knew you couldn't be my Lover.

Oh to be loved

to be understood even when you can’t find the right words to be understood even when you can’t make a word leave your mouth to postpone plans so you’re being cared for when you can’t care for yourself to try to fill the void in your weak body to be accompanied in silent cries to be loved the way… read more

Peace above all

Poem -NightSky ✨️🌙

I looked up at the night sky, to insantly see a shooting star in my left eye So peaceful tonight, the birds are sleeping. Crickets are calling and trees are breathing The constellations tell a story of history, with the same eyes my ancestors could see Them, him, her, everyone. For these stars… read more

I tried

I tried to love you I tried to help you Through all the loss Through all the pain I tried to heal you I tried to comfort you Several years have passed Since we first met I still want you I still would help you Despite not being loved back Despite not seeing the warnings I will try to forget.

Poem -It will get better

Walking down a path of worry, I feel the wind brussh past my face As thoughts race in my head (what will happend?) But the sounds of the birds singing their morning love songs calmed me, as well as the fresh scent of coffee I brewed. Still, my heart is beating so fast, (what will happen?) So I… read more

And i loved it.

If I had lived both our lives, I'd still hate you. If I had bathed in the basin, I'd gain perspective. If I had fallen asleep, I'd have moved different. If I had pulled as hard as I could, I wouldn't have seen you. I lived, I bathed, I fell, I pulled, and I loved it.

Poem -Moving on

Letting you go hurts I still listen to the songs that remind me of you The memories we shared I still wish you well, and I hope you achieve your dreams Perhaps this was best for the both of us But I will never forget the memories we shared Farewell, ✨️💚

I wouldn't trade my solitude for a little love. For a lot of love, yes. But a lot of love is itself a kind of solitude.

The wait

Its funny how time isnt still but I am, Everyones moving and running but i cant, Perfect image in every shot makes me wonder, Why I think and feel with every blunder. The past forgot me today and I worry more, Waves that flow yet never reach the shore. If i pass the hill once more is it worth the… (edited) read more

The Unraveling

If the folds of time crease the skin once more, Send the wailing shadows to the shore, And free the memories of pain and violence, Through the motionless deep the soul finds silence, And when a storm seeks to break the sand, scattered like ashes from a weary hand, Remember to spill a tear and break… (edited) read more

I thought being alone would feel like losing, like empty rooms and nights spent choosing. But somewhere between goodbye and me, I found a kind of peace I couldn’t see. The world feels brighter, the silence feels kind, and somehow I’m happier inside my own mind. I’m not missing pieces, I’m not… read more

Blind

The ignorance of some, will not be undone, They come in all shades. No truth, no kindness rests there, Only a frozen carcass white in decay, They rise for all of them. Pillaging and bleeding out the life, Until nothing remains but your way, Blind and proud never taught the wise But history only… read more

Road

Leaves by Elsie N. Brady How silently they tumble down And come to rest upon the ground To lay a carpet, rich and rare, Beneath the trees without a care, Content to sleep, their work well done, Colors gleaming in the sun. At other times, they wildly fly Until they nearly reach the sky. Twisting,… read more

Everything is fine

Whispers in the night

Anxiety creeps in as darkness falls, a shadow draped where silence calls. The mirror reflects a questioning gaze, haunted by doubts that set hearts ablaze. Will I find peace in the stillness of night? Will their whispers linger, turn warmth to fright? Did I touch the world, or just… read more

A love that can not be

What if the night, in shadows deep, Adored the sun, a burning star, Her ardent love she could not keep, Forever bound to gaze afar. A whisper in the cooling breeze, A sigh upon the moonlit dew, She yearned through silent, ancient trees, For warmth she never could pursue. Their worlds in constant,… read more

Sunlight drying Your green tears My willow tree Don't weep I'm here Lean into me

The cycle

For every memory locked behind bars, When the skin remembers prickly scars, And darkness becomes a familiar friend, To remind you of the inevitable end. But shadows arent made without light, And beyond such illusion lies the fight, Between those who slowly cut the rope, And those who dream of… read more

Masks I wear to keep the light

I laugh while shadows linger near, my smile, a veil for hidden tear. In jest I cloak my weary heart, a fool's parade, a crafted art. The world sees joy in painted grace, unmasking sorrow I embrace. With every quip, a silent plea, to hide the wounds no one can see. Yet still the… read more

Tchaikovsky in the Pines

I was listening to Tchaikovsky, Feeling soft and weary. Feathery thoughts, And the coffee I bought Vaporized and drifted to the north. I cannot fly_ But my cries can be piercing. Fearing strangers is a routine of mine. It may be the one that can't still be define. A lake behind the pine trees, I… read more

See me

I have a lot to tell you, So much I want to say, But you are not quite listening, You look the other way. I have so much to show you, Bright things I found to share, But you are busy looking down, And you are never there. So I am growing quiet, I lock up all my heart, And keep my words inside… read more

Tabula rasa

I could have become a monster. Broken soul, like so many people before me. I could have become a destroyer of worlds. I could have drowned myself in the pleasures of this world, sunk beneath my own destruction. But I chose to create. To create spaces. To shape worlds. For all the evil I have… read more

Throwback to 2018

The days pass by but the picture kept the beautiful memories of that day which was unbeatable Peace. Joy. Love.

I hope my dreams can fill the moon

What does growth actually feels like in the moment?

Like the seed which is planted Like the tree everyone wanted Like the plant that takes eons of time to give you the fruits you want by the end of night Like the work is never enough Like the process might just be lyin Like the seed might just die Like the wings might never save you from… read more

Wrote this one last year... might still be here somewhere, think I might try write a counterpart, soon.

I don't want a relationship

I don't want a relationship, I want a soul connection, I want to find the person's who's arms I fit best in I don't want a relationship I relationship I want passion and fire, I want a union filled with desire. I don't want a relationship I want peace and harmony, I want to find that person with… (edited) read more

Love Through Time

I cried today Thinking of the possibility That maybe the only way I reach you Is through history If soul mates are real And math is true What are the statistics That I ever really meet you? But then, What do I do? Do I scour textbooks Hoping to find some trace of you? Do I write my every… read more

Last one chosen

I sit and watch them pick and choose, Another game I seem to lose. I wait my turn against the wall, Just hoping I get picked at all. I want to be the very first, To quench this quiet, heavy thirst. To have someone point straight at me, And say, "It's you I want to see." Instead, I wait until the… (edited) read more

I'll always be obsessed with the sky and poetry 🖤🧡

Inspired by "The Map that Leads to You"

Transit A stray vector slides into another. Spacetime leaves a door ajar. Impact rearranges the internal weather. The moment thickens, elastic, and two lives stop negotiating with tomorrow. Time loosens its grip: the second widening into a field you can stand in. Tomorrow is a… read more

When night and day meet

Where sun's last gleam begins to fade, And shadows stretch, a soft cascade. The moon awakes, a silver sigh, As day's bright colors softly die. Then stars begin their silent dance, A cosmic, slow, and deep expanse. The night's cool breath, a whispered plea, Meets dawn's first blush, for all to… read more

Are you

Are you the day's warm, golden grace, Or distant twinkle in night's deep space? A sudden beam, a brilliant spark, Or shadows hidden in the dark? Are you the laughter, free and bright, A gentle hand, a guiding light? Or lost in fear, a whispered plea, Afraid to show the world your me?
