2024.5.26 Sunday, My house was broke in. The next day, you messaged me "Good morning". Two hours later, I explained about the robbery. "Invaded?? i went past and saw The police van this morning. I was a bit worried that Something might have happened." From that day, every evening, You came to my place and stay till quite late. You made sure I was protected, Until...

There is a legend deep in the Montana territory, The ancient tale of the shiny mountains that only few can see. Those majestic peaks soar upward almost piercing the clear blue sky, Yet one knows the real shine lies deep inside. Hidden deep inside the mountains it waits patiently, Waiting for that chosen one to set it free. Soon...

"The painting is her. Her ruin, my hunger. Every stroke on the canvas carves her deeper into me. I own her screams now." I don't mind saying the ing word now. I’ve been an *******— it doesn't ing matter. The painting on the wall taunts me, staring, silent, brutal— reminding me of her. Of the way she smiled before I crushed it. Of the...

I have gone where stars dissolve in violet flame, Beyond the breathless hush of time and name, Where silence swells like tides beneath the skin, And nothing waits to let the light begin. The galaxies bent low to let me pass— Each one a frozen bloom of shattered glass. I listened for a voice, a breath, a bell, But all was still,...

When the stars send their gentle glow, whispering winking, flirting with the shadows cast over the night’s sky breaking through the horizon – strewn haphazardly sometimes so careful to rip a wish from lips, moistened by music who weeps beyond the pines, the willows, the forest where burgundy leaves and silence, peace – rises, willing the light to stir up lyrics...

Was it truly your choice to live in a world that fills you only with anger and sadness, To drown in your silent fury and that of your comrades, until silence becomes a painful cry? Did you choose for your limbs to twitch, to fight, for your feet to kick, your hands to scratch, Or is it just...

Don’t wait for a trumpet when the breath in your lungs is already shouting. Don’t wait for a sky to tear when your soul is already trembling. The signs are not in the clouds, they’re in your compromise. The delay is not His it’s yours. You think you’ve got time? You think your youth is a shield? You gamble eternity on...

for only a day once, so long ago, we ran through plowed fields, barely missing sharp glass fragments and jagged rocks and never missing opportunities to laugh and stumble over one another it was easy to hide from approaching cars and imaginary pirates swinging galvanized swords tears and blood were hidden in mud streaks and wishes drowned in grass roots where summer days covered...

Verse 1 I’ll strum you a tune in the glow of the moon, Sing a melody made for a heart like you. Soft-spoken stories that dance through the air, Taking you places like we haven’t a care. We’ll daydream in colors that don’t have a name, Like jasmine and sunsets and warm summer rain. Wrap me in you, let the stars realign, Just...

in the silence of a rising sun i hear the echo of voices amid whispers and recognize old smiling faces in the hush of a frost laden morning i detect the hint of angelic glances while gently rocking the sleeping babe beneath the subdued moonlight i recognize the lingering perfume of love reclaimed in june ...
