What Do I Hold?
I see the shadow in your eyes, The quiet war you try to hide. Still, I stay, still I wait-- Drawn to every twist of fate. On a bed of thorns, I close my eyes, And count the tears I can't disguise. What do I hold, when your hands let go? What do I keep, when I already know? I can't breathe in,...

The Edge of Goodbye
I saw him in the corridor — my mind stopped for a moment, all my emotions rushing back, stunned, yet I kept walking. Once I was away, I crossed a wall — and broke down, tears flowing down my cheeks, words unsaid I couldn’t hold. I wanted to stay, to hold on to him, but I needed to go — to let go for my peace. I saw...

DO YOU REALLY NEED ALL THE ANSWERS?
I know you’re still trying to make sense of what happened. Maybe you won’t get all the answers, and maybe that’s not what you need right now. It’s okay to feel heavy this morning. It’s okay if you’re not okay. Letting go without having every reason doesn’t mean you’re giving up. It means you’re choosing...

Premium Member letting go, just
I watch him gathering days in arms, like handfuls of sand, spilling, pouring, into an hour-glass with never a grain lost. His voice, once sweet and melodious, cracked, now fed on adult's breath. His steps impress, they sink deeper into the dirt, confident and sure-footed with knowing. He no longer looks back to make sure I’m still there to care and watch. In fact, his furtive...

Premium Member A Kind Of Letting Go
Vice like grip unseen yet tight Pressure building through the night It bends the light distorts the sound A silent storm where pain is crowned My temples pulse in steady aches Like thunder’s growl before it breaks Yet in its grip a lesson found My mind is strong though pain is bound Then comes relief in a soft embrace A quiet calm with a...

Letting Her Live His Life
I was never here for passing time, Never here for love denied. I thought we’d walk this road as one, But love has left me far behind. If I love you, how can I not break? When you are not mine to take. To watch you smile, yet stand apart, It slowly shatters my fragile heart. You say that friends we still can...

The Little Chase
Sky so blue, grass kissed with dew, Tiny feet dance on a path brand new. Chasing a butterfly, drifting away, Breathless giggles, silky hair in sway. Stops in her tracks, Let it fly high, Fascinated, waves goodbye with a smile...

Letting go
I should have stopped at a simple hello a wounded text that has now scarred me for life You did everything right like u knew about my broken heart what a perfect stranger I thought... I attached myself to a doorway One that lead me straight to you I knew I should have stopped it but now u became a face "Youre touch was...

No, my heart doesn't ache anymore
No, my heart doesn’t ache anymore Eating ice cream on the beach It’s June, and with it all, For the first time In a while- It’s calm I’ll try diving in the pool Cold hands wrap around me As I look at the skies painted blue The lessons I’ve lived Won’t come back to haunt me- Not anymore...

When the leaves fall; The ache of letting go
As autumn came to claim the leaves from my strands, Its breeze swirled around my bark and branches, A threat, ready to seclude the foliage from my hands. I was too stubborn to release the leaves from my grasp. But my leaves, desperate to escape with the wind away from my distress, So I let them fall, as I promised...

Premium Member LETTING LIFE NOT BE LIVED IN VAIN
LETTING LIFE BE NOT LIVED IN VAIN Know that the righteous life you’ve been living, Has not and could have never been lived in vain: You’ve trekked shadowed valleys of ole death; You’ve mastered many bridges of troubled waters; You’ve conquered so many Sisyphus-like rocks; And God has and never ever allowed you to fail:- Thus, in the deemed storms...

No Vacancy
i am a house with the doors left open for too long. too many footsteps have walked in dragging their storms with them. i do not know how to tell them i have no space left to shelter their rain. i try to listen, to nod, to stay— but the ceiling is cracking. i can’t hold up another storm. so maybe this time, i will lock...

Memories
A new horizon in view already, I stood there seeing it Wearing a blanket weaved With threads of memory Of all the years to date ,I have lived It's the time A magnificent panorama to bid goodbye To step into a new landscape of life With just a blanket of memories, It sure will always be with me, Till I become infinity. ...

Revived
Knelt down by the graves Of every self I've laid to rest Listening as their ghosts whisper by name I hear myself in all of them, to this I can attest; I am no different but I am no longer the same Made an off offering of rosemary, a promise...
