If she was the one who unbuttoned her blouse first, who closed the door, who whispered “Come on, don’t be shy,” and still—he said no. If she was the one who laid herself bare, threw herself at him like a dare in a quiet room—was he man enough to say he didn’t want it? To...

We walked under the same sky, but carried different forecasts. your silence was a sandstorm and mine a drought. Yet we mistook our survival as our strength. I was parched with waiting and you were eroded by wind. World saw our resilience not the cracks. How I begged for rain or How you vanished behind gusts. They said strong woman is "silent" They said strong man is...

My dear friend, who shines my way, Lead my steps when I go misguided. Your words like lanterns in my gloomy night, Turning all my wrongs slowly into right. In every second of gloomy night, You bring the stars to make that things bright. With kind words and gentle light, You guide my heart to peaceful sight. My dear best friend, so pure,...

Atop a bed of plastic In a house made of bone I am helpless to feel Rome’s revival Men become sheep and wolves Crusaders line up for war Careless toward their fellow heretic Houses burn Stone pillars rise from foundations All as the sands of time bury the path forward Yet even as they do, water still runs in the bath house...

Comes our God motherly, motherly, motherly, Holding us tenderly when we're in pain. Comes our God fatherly, fatherly, fatherly, Strength'ning us daily to face life again.
