InflictionHe was just a boy alone in journey of life
Morals, high standards upon family name he walks
No recollection to memory, just brief thought in mind
Certain image portrayed, locked away in the depths
A way of life's poverty, morning dose's of the syrup
Just a toddler throwing sticks on tobacco, outhouse out back...

Silent Fire, Sacred StrengthThe classroom is a quiet forge,
and I, a blade in silent fire—
shaped by care, tempered in calm,
honed to serve a brighter purpose.
But into this heatswept chamber she storms,
a tempest cloaked in titles—
her words the hammer’s fall,
striking without measure, without proof.
She holds a flame to my calm steel,
asking why I do not sparkle like she:
“Why do...

FreedomI lace my shoes as morning breaks,
The hush of dawn, the route I take.
With every step, the world fades out , the sunrise is motivating, no room for doubt.
The rhythm builds, my breath in sync,
Pacing Past sleeping streets ,and my skin flushes pink.
My thoughts untangle, calm and clear,
Each footfalll is bliss , my heartbeat...

We Are PlantsWe are spring plants
Stretching towards the sunlight,
There is no excuse for "I can't"s
If we strive and don't lose sight
We will bloom and produce fruit
As long as the summer season permits,
If we work with an earnest pursuit
In autumn we can harvest the benefits....

Living for the RemnantsOnly God and prayer can heal it:
The dreadful wound your loss has made.
Find thankfulness and never quit;
Embrace what you have left today.
When melancholy cords arise
Cast dissonance far, far away
Let gratefulness revive your eyes;
Embrace what you have left today.
If you still have someone to love
And a place where a bed is made
You have more than enough...

Emotional Struggles and ResilienceYou’re tired, and you’re on your own.
Stopping now won’t find you a home.
Roaming the streets, searching for a safe place to sleep,
Too scared of what strangers might think of you.
Scared it’s always going to be this way.
No one to turn to. No one to trust.
The ones you called friends, the distant family—
They betrayed you the...

boys lessons
They told him, “Boys don’t cry or feel,”
“Stand tall, be hard, and never kneel.”
So he learned young to wear a mask,
To fake the strength they dared to ask.
He bit his tongue, he clenched his jaw,
Afraid to show a single flaw.
And every tear he held inside
Just made him hollow, made him hide.
They praised him when he...

The Coming Bloom
A seed is planted, a stem breaks forth
Leaves appear and buds grow north.
In time a blossom begins to form
Until a beautiful flower is born.
We celebrate the magnanimous bloom
Forgetting the seasons from seed to tomb
Know times of trial, built the bouquet
The perianth and the vibrant display.
If your season is barren, missing God’s presence
He is pruning and...

Disability poem Who Is Disabled?Who is disabled?
Is it me, or is it you?
Should disability be based
On an anatomical stock-take,
Or based on what you can do?
For I can climb mountains,
I can soar through the sky,
And I can slay dragons,
With just a blink of an eye,
I can overcome barriers,
Fight against impossible odds,
Ignore patronising glances
And condescending nods.
So who is disabled?
Is it me,...

FrayThe tailor rests in her workshop alone.
Grabbing the thread for the day's work ahead,
she begins pushing needle through cloth.
In exercise, she customizes garments, stitch by stitch,
Though it's slow, her craftsmanship shows
uniquely perfect alterations to all her customers' clothes.
Free of charge she'll embroider!
Weaving colorful flosses in and out,
she's leaving shapes and symbols of brightness about.
Now, next...

In a Coat of PainI’ve knocked on every door of medicine men—
doors painted with hope.
Swallowed pills of every size and colour.
Been told,
“This one never fails.”
Another promise—
fulfilled only in disappointment.
The body that once felt mine
now feels like a stranger’s—
still wearing my name tag.
I sleep early,
trying to rinse myself from pain,
but wake up
still dressed in it.
The coat I wear?
Pain-stitched—
by a tailor...

Wings and Wounds
Like birds flying high over the world,
Words of love never unheard.
Loud voices echo through different phases,
No mistakes.., Just choices in these mazes.
Walking threads, edge tight like a judge,
Told me, “Be strong. Don’t budge.”
They speak of light at tunnel's end,
But what about the road we defend?
The morals we bend,
The lives we...
