Walked Away for Peace
I walked away not free from snags
caused by those in authority,
but to be free from cruelty
to save my spirit against evilness
And injustice in power's grip
Tied up by abusive six sprawling
division in command,
footsteps no trace, only an echo
weeping soul in the dusk!
Harsh words
dug deeper into my soul—
sickening insults
to my inner self—
a burden carried
within the shadowed kingdom.
So

A Piece of My Mind on Peace of Mind
They asked for a piece of my mind—
so I offered silence, wrapped in gold.
No rage, no clamor, no thunderclap,
just breath unbroken when the world turned cold.
Peace of mind isn't a destination,
but a pact with storms I’ve learned to outlast.
Not the absence of chaos—but grace,
in the moments I choose not to cast judgment, holding fast.
It's the

Inner Peace Made with a Tale
I can't escape hearing the voices.
Even when, I myself, am utterly alone,
Even when the plea for peace,
is threadbare, shredded into tatters
of shrugged-off 'don't matters'.
The child I once was,
clamors for wonder, mischief, and make-believe.
The critic leans back, arms-crossed,
primed to tear down every armistice deal.
The dreamer scatters blueprints
made of butterfly wings,
stalling, stalling,
for happenstance to

After Twilight Spoke
The clouds once soothed my skin.
I breathed the wind rising high.
Shadows lingered deep within.
They vanish as light draws nigh.
Velvet silence softly spread.
Light came near with gentle steps.
Truth arrived in twilight’s cape.

Confronting Shadows
A nebulous horizon where old light dies,
And silent Shadows from desire's mouth arise.
They press against the skin, a whisper in the ear,
Yet in their depths, a hidden strength appears.
I face their forms, no longer bound by flight,
And find my peace in the heart of endless night.

Echoes in the Dark
My chest holds echoes none can hear,
A hush of thoughts that won’t appear.
What once was warm now drifts like mist,
A weight unseen, too dense to lift.
Each fracture blooms a quieter scar,
Where bitter seeds still grow afar.
No shore, no flame, no sense of tide—
Just vacant halls I roam inside.
By day I wear a borrowed face,
By night

In the Arms of Darkness
Night wraps me softly in her arms,
Whispering secrets, weaving charms.
She cradles echoes in my chest,
A quiet breath, a gentle rest.
Her cloak conceals my hidden scars,
Each one a story traced by stars.
She treads with footsteps calm and slow,
Through empty halls where shadows grow.
By day, she hides behind the sun,
But when the world is overrun,
She dons my

The Classroom as Sanctuary
Within the circle’s quiet pulse lies a deeper truth:
when we shape our ways by kindness, trust takes root.
The classroom holds a sacred space,
where hearts find hope, and fears erase.
Not just a room with desk and board,
But a haven where the soul is restored.
A whisper heard, a glance that sees—
Each moment sown like sacred seeds.
Mistakes aren’t

When Virtues Wait
The life you walk now sighs beneath your feet—
a path once clear now tastes bittersweet.
Even as you carry grace like gold,
judgment greets you, distant and cold.
Kindness speaks, but you hush her voice,
as if warmth is now the weaker choice.
Respect once danced at your command,
but now she trembles, bare and banned.
You wear pride like a tailored

Among Shadows
In a world where whispers strike like stones,
Where unseen eyes cast chilling tones,
Where silent shadows weave their thread,
The Lord walks close beside my tread.
When hearts grow cold and hands withhold,
And greed’s sharp edge is bright and bold,
A hidden grace begins to rise,
A light unseen beneath dark skies.
Rivers of words like secrets flow,
Ominous winds begin to

True to Yourself
Be true to yourself
In joy and sorrow
For only you know
What you feel
Even if not why
So stand tall, head high
And remember to breathe
Free and easy
No matter what others
May think or say
Friend or foe
For they never know
What is both
In your heart and head
As the wind blows
Sun shines
Clouds form
And rain falls
Don’t forget who you are
And that it

The Sound Of Inner Peace
Like the hush of mobile crystals
stilling, inside a breezeless night
Like the echoes of distant stars
shimmying towards the moon
Its like tendrils of gray smoke
wafting through the temples
A silent Buddha contemplating
beneath the Bodhi tree of life
Inner peace can only be realized
through the senses and the chi

Inner Peace
Peaceful mind is a worthy quality.
At rest, my body is the sum of air.
I will walk the road ahead tirelessly.
I can cross the shark's waters tall, no fear.
Belly rolls of laughter in the stillness.
Silence stunning, a strange symphonic muse.
Inwardly, absent wars construct wholeness.
Calm natures set creativity loose.
Nurture tranquil bases;
