The spark of distant stars jump-starts
the rhythmic beating of our two hearts.

The heart wants what it wants and gets
What it desires to own
Though in the mind, full of regrets
You might remain alone
Bamboozled by the foolish dream
You’ve lived in for awhile
The only way back then it seemed
Your questions were replied
In words you did expect to hear
In vibes you shared and signs
Of the delightful atmosphere
That two hearts can design
But then, as always, should I say
Comes in the most unwilling guest
The time of change, that takes away
One life, and all the rest.

She stands like Everest—jaw-dropping, distant, sublime—
No timid plea will ever bridge that height.
Yet the one who climbs with tender steps and earnest heart
May trace her warmth through courage’s light.
You stumble on your words—your voice betrays your desire,
Each awkward phrase fuels your hope to try anew.
Like a climber training on icy slopes, you rise again from slip and fall,
For each earnest reach builds strength inside you.
She may seem unattainable, aloof behind her lofty snow,
Still, effort carves a pathway where affection slowly grows.
One gentle gesture after another—steady, brave, sincere—
Becomes the rope that binds your hearts in close repose.
As the mountaineer knows: summits yield to those who persist,
Each step endured, each setback met with grit.
Likewise, a heart is won not by luck—but by steadfast, caring climb,
For in love and heights alike, those who try never quit.

You are the radiance of my heart's desire.
Beginning to end, igniting an internal fire.
Always surrendering our passions to share.
Within twin heart's centers, to wholly bare.
You are mine, and I am yours for spirts sake.
With desires and hopes not wishing to brake.
I will continue to hold you up for my inspire.
For you are the one I admire, my heart's desire.

Line of inquiry:
"the essence in us is the same as the essence of the sun."
by Unseeking Seeker
Sun is the center of the universe, the main source of light
Designed by our Heavenly Creator, with all His power and might
For He, our God is the light and in Him, no darkness at all
His Light was made to generate the sun’s life-sustenance role
And dwelt in every soul when He gave life to us, His people
To be good stewards of His creations, so in sins we won’t fall.
Essence in us is the same as the essence of the sun
Missioned to make our life God’s reflection to others…shine!
For He, our God is the light and in Him, no darkness at all
Created in His image, like Him with the sun, we’re so beautiful!
Holy Spirit is God’s dwelling light in us, giving hope like sunrise
Glows at sunset through prayers, tomorrow is a blest surprise!

Hearts in Heaven Bangladesh's Cry: A Linking Pin Sonnet
The sky held screams—screams torn through burning blue,
Blue smoke descended where small footsteps grew.
Grew bright young dreams in uniforms so white,
White pages turned with innocence and light.
Light left the room when iron wings struck ground,
Ground broke in silence, swallowing every sound.
Sound echoed loud through broken bricks and flame,
Flame touched the walls, but couldn't touch each name.
Name after name, now whispered into prayer—
Prayer rising slowly through shattered, smokey air.
Air still with grief, yet winds of hope will sing—
Sing songs of peace, though tragedy may sting.
Sting not their souls, O Lord, who now shall fly—
Fly safe in You, above the weeping sky.

I’m strung out on another world —
a woman wired tight.
Music spills from my fingers,
runs down to my toes.
One pill —
and it all slips away.
I tumble down the rabbit hole.
But I’m not Alice.
I’m the Queen of Hearts.
I’m not looking for a way out.
I’m singing all the wrong words,
losing my tempo —
my lyrical lyre
abandoned on the floor.
Still, I burn.
I’ll never forget
sitting beneath that chestnut tree.
I pressed my palms to the bark —
solid, like him.
But I couldn’t hold him.
And the tree couldn’t leave
like he did.
Still, the universe poured into me.
I was flipping through pictures of you
I never took —
snapshots of us
in places we never stood,
lit by a sun
we never touched.
Memories we never made —
but I carry them
like old postcards
from a dream
I forgot to wake from.
In the rain,
you locked your bike
and looked into my eyes.
I was stunned —
it was like staring into the sunrise.
And you —
you fell into mine.
I wasn’t looking for love.
But it hunted me —
something louder
than the scream in my head.

'Follow your dream'
easier said than done
as the girl of my dreams
for me she is the only one
and yet for her I don't exist
she sees through me sad to say
don't have what (it) takes her fancy
won't even look my way
as ships which pass in the night
our two hearts will never meet
I find mine's a dead-end dream
on the wrong side of a one-way street

On a tablet of stone,
Mankind was made known,
A covenant of laws to abide.
Not a place remaining to hide.
Sinful nature that leads to death.
Come seek God who created breath.
On a foundation of sand,
Was written one shall not stand.
The storms, wind, and waves.
But by the One who rose from the grave.
For all have sinned and shall not judge,
Releasing old ways of holding a grudge.
That,the oldself shall be buried in the sand,
Built on the rock of an outstretched hand.
Written not with ink or on stone,
But on the hearts and minds of the throne.
A new creature to be molded and purified,
Into the bond of the husbandman and bride.
