An Author To Their WorkAn Author To Their Work
By Antuan Simmons
The author to their work.
Is like a man or woman to their family.
The pen and pencil is the son they guide to do right.
Guiding to write that first draft.
The keys to the computer is that spouse.
You spend quality time with.
Every punch to the fingers to computer keys.
Is a punch...

Effort Isn’t LoudI show up ready
Like it’s nothing, no big deal.
But calm is just a front I put on,
No one sees the ache
They say thanks, but don’t see the work,
Only the finished things I do.
They don’t know how many times
I’ve held it together when it got hard.
They see the results, not the fight,
Like it all came...

After Dance
Here
I now
sit beside
him, in stillness,
the night gently wrapped
around our quiet forms.
No more need for swirling steps,
just the hush of stars above us,
peaceful in their shimmering vigil—
like soft sighs from the heart of the heavens.
His hand in mine, no words are spoken,
for silence now says everything.
The breeze no longer calls us,
it only hums softly on,
cradling my...

In a sea of time, seeking happiness like a mirage dancing on the horizonIn a sea of time, seeking happiness like a mirage dancing on the horizon,
people confess their desire like a secret, like a confession in the night,
and in their words hides a trembling of the soul, a shadow of bitterness,
because happiness becomes a project, a fragile construction of dreams,
an endless quest, like a journey to a...

Happiness and HesitancySitting separate intertwined in togetherness
Hearts raced until a single embrace
Touch was the remedy to one's anxiousness
A cool like breeze swept the room
The pace is slowed as the beat reduces its cadence
Warmth is now the welcoming of a new
Comfort has expanded and covered both individuals
No longer separate as the equation has...

Teardrops And Coffee StainsAt
the bottom
of every corner store
and coffee shop mug,
there is a collection of
teardrops and coffee-stains.
Waiting
to be gathered
so they can write
their stories in indelible
ink.

I dream in aquamarinememories of an exotic sun rippled sea
as undulating waves caress a warm beach
i see colours scintillating, bleached
this brings forth images of paradise
and means sublime happiness to me...

SunriseI think the sun rises not from the east—
but from your stomach
Nor does it sink from the west—
but returns to your stomach
When I touched it I truly understood the work of art that God created...

May we be blessed to be surrounded by those
who show us love in all they do…

who just by being a part of our life…
add to our total happiness.

There's No Deep Affection Of WomanTo feel worthless and lost
can be the worst defeat;
don't wear that look of pretentiousness
it takes away every joy and sweetness!
No, there's no deep affection of woman ,
that once those lips whispered sweetly,
and that magical glow could never be broken:
I put my trust and faith in you so sincerely!
My existence is hunted by demons,

Your FaceWhat is this face that I do see
A face that thrills the soul of me
Whose arms be thine
That so entwine
Beneath a pale moon's
Silver shine
Leaving only
With its might
The warm, the golden early light
And though bright sun
Does soon reveal
Beguiles, begins
But passion steals
Yet it is sun now shining bright
That turns each day back into night

Ephemeral Grace
Solace, heaven’s temporal embrace,
A fleeting transcendence in time,
A breath lost on a breeze’s kiss,
An eternal moment, yet sublime....

Sommertime Breath
Summertime is here, a breath of fresh air,
The sun’s warm fingers weave through the hair,
Flowers burst in colours bright and clear,
Painting the world with joy and cheer.
The hum of traffic, a lively beat,
Footsteps and laughter fill the street,
Outside, the air feels soft and sweet,
Where strangers and friends casually meet.
People smile beneath the golden sky,
Festival spirits...
