Father's day....
Thought this passage by shakespeare apt considering the day...🙏 Henry v Once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more; Or close the wall up with our English dead! In peace there's nothing so becomes a man, As modest stillness and humility; But when the blast of war blows in our ears, Then imitate the action of the tiger: Stiffen the sinews, conjure up the blood, Disguise fair nature with hard-favoured rage: Then lend the eye a terrible aspect; Let it pry through the portage of the head, Like the brass cannon; let the brow o'erwhelm it As fearfully as doth a galled rock O'erhang and jutty his confounded base, Swill'd with the wild and wasteful ocean. Now set the teeth and stretch the nostril wide; Hold hard the breath and bend up every spirit To his full height. On, on, you noblest English, Whose blood is fet from fathers of war-proof! Fathers that, like so many Alexanders, Have in these parts from morn till even fought, And sheathed their swords for lack of argument. Dishonour not your mothers: now attest, That those whom you call'd fathers did beget you. Be copy now to men of grosser blood, And teach them how to war. And you, good yeoman, Whose limbs were made in England, show us here The mettle of your pasture: let us swear That you are worth your breeding; which I doubt not; For there is none of you so mean and base, That hath not noble lustre in your eyes. I see you stand like greyhounds in the slips, Straining upon the start. The game's afoot: Follow your spirit; and upon this charge, Cry 'God for Harry! England! and Saint George!

A poem by me
In the shadows where the heartbeats falter, I wander lost, a specter of my former self, Time drips like blood from an ancient altar, In this forsaken realm, where love is left to delve. I gave you my heart, a fragile, bleeding thing, Wrapped in velvet whispers and trembling devotion, You held it... read more

Pushing my vocal range to the limit. Throat was legitimately sore after but happy with it. 😂🎙️Full voice reel in my profile. (I’ll network anywhere.) 🎭 (edited)

In the secret garden of my soul
In the secret garden of my soul, where love blooms without end, your gaze is the sun that makes me whole, and your kisses, the breath that mends. You are the moon in nights of longing, the gentle melody of a sigh, each heartbeat in my chest belonging, to the reason I live and why. Your words are... read more

In shadows deep
In shadows deep where silence reigns, Despair's bitter tendrils slowly entwine, Heart's yearning echoed in silent refrains, Lost in the absence of love divine. In the empty chambers of the soul's keep, Echoes linger, a mournful plea, Longing for a touch, a love so deep, Yet finding only echoes in... read more
