A Nation at the Crosswinds
The streets are loud with marching feet, Yet no one speaks and none retreat. The banners wave, the voices swell— But who can name what truth they tell? The fires glow on city walls, While silence haunts the courthouse halls. We argue more, yet listen less, Each side convinced it’s righteousness. The maps have shifted, lines redrawn, The twilight dims what once was dawn. We...

Premium Member A World Ends
And they would strut around the fire Then sat upon their stools, And argued long, in learned terms, Who wore the better jewels! But then there was a man about Who none had seen before, And though he wore a gentle face, They felt a gentle horror. For he did not dance around the fire Or strut about like fools, Nor did he argue who...

Premium Member The Soul of a Tyrant
A tyrant, though he’s feared, he also fears: A symmetry of horror unites them all. Unleashed, a dragon that forever nears, And he, as all the rest, it soon may maul. A tyrant rides a tiger, yet he knows It is not love that keeps him in that place; And that which comes, it just as swiftly goes; The claws of retribution...

Premium Member In a world of shadows, where dreams intertwine with unfulfilled desires
In a world of shadows, where dreams intertwine with unfulfilled desires, where the bonds between souls stretch and twist like silken vines, I find my heart wandering among echoes of memories and extinguished sighs, seeking happiness in someone else's smile, in a glance or a word, but as often promised happiness is just a mirage on the sands of...

Premium Member A Dance of Choices: Research or Poetry
For two years, I've woven verses like threads of gold, Yet in the shadows, my unfinished research whispers, A ghost from the past, beckoning me to mend the frayed edges, Now and then, I stumble into a fog, yearning to complete the tapestry left undone. The research demands ten hours, six days a...

Premium Member A Soft Embrace
Deep in the desert, on a desolate trek, in the distance trudges a lonely speck. Lost, not knowing where, in this life, he's bound, he has never known the comforting sound of a tender voice, or a loving word. His unsure eyes see only visions, blurred. What looks like water, is just a mirage, while apparitions form his entourage.  So, how, on this rocky beach...

HALF A HUNDRED PLUS 4 VIBRANT STARS
There’s a moon Breaking through the dark Half a hundred plus four stars beside it Each one trying to equally share its spark. Then, the sun rises Gentle, not too hot, not too cold But it melts the walls that have risen within Changing hearts, making them more bold. A road appears Stretching across seas, sands, and trees Leading us all to a place Where...

IT IS NOT A DREAM AFTER ALL
You thought it was a dream those mornings that didn’t feel heavy nights that didn’t come with fear and your heart no longer breaking. You thought it was a lie. But here you are waking to peaceful mornings the sun warming instead of threatening. You laugh more, smile easier and your body feels lighter. It’s real now the air tastes...

MOON A NOON
The first day felt magical, A feast so grand, so memorable. Just hours beyond the golden noon, He said I was his radiant moon. A moon that glows, soft and pure, For a love that seemed to endure. But maybe I was just a toy, In the game of his fleeting joy. At last, the truth became clear— The moon shifts as time draws...

A YEAR IN PASSING
January wakes us weary, New resolutions pressing heavy. Then comes February’s charm— A month of love, or wasted calm. We march ahead into March, Preparing for the chill to lurch. April brings the planting days, As a third of the year slips away. Hope returns with open skies, Maybe this month—maybe May. June arrives with quiet tunes, We wish the world would feel okay. Halfway through, we...
