What Your Voice Promised
The morning you stopped speaking, I watched you fold laundry with the precision of someone who had decided something. Each shirt became a prayer, each towel a small goodbye— your hands folding away the breath of silence. In the kitchen, you point to the sugar bowl when you want sweetness. Your finger weaves circles in the air when you mean *again*. But your eyes still carry the weight of my...

Burning all bridges behind you, standing on the edge of a plateau If ever there was a time to see if you can fly, it is now, let's go There is no looking back, time to spread those wings and fly This is it; this is now your moment of do, or die These emotions you are about to...

I know I promised
I swore I wouldn’t. Told the mirror a thousand times, That this time would be different. This time I’d hold in the sadness and anger without drowning. But the past nights, My hands remembered the language they forgot how to forget. I sat in silence while the ache translated itself into line, No one else would ever read. They say it’s all just...

I once made you a promise So long ago it seems a lifetime Never again would you have To face the darkness alone It was a promise I would repeat With each spiral and dark descent I would never run away No matter how much you expected it Eventually you said goodbye And it shattered me to pieces But that promise never left me Even...

you promised
You promised me the days we sung and cooked and danced, painting each others nails would come back someday You promised me, so i sat restless, watching the pass of everyday, pass me by, memories souring as the clock ran Harmless illusions wipe away as i realize what i had been surrounded by, with each spent...

The Box
I was grateful for the love of family and friends But I was longing to hear your voice just once again Then I came upon a box that I had not seen There was a note that read ‘just a few keepsakes to you-from me’ I would recognize that handwriting anywhere It was from you, my beloved my dear I...

A land promised
The Promised land. For a while, I thought that was an actual place where you could go if you had his grace. As the wilderness was this dry, hot, deserted place, where people walked with challenges upon challenges that they faced. The demonic giants came in a large, morphed shape, similar to real people who...

The Conquering Promised Seed
The Genesis of a Promised Seed was and has always been a conflict. Since primordial Eden and Eve, between her grain against devil's trick. His journey to the womb of Mary is a testament of His sovereignty. Bloodlines of imperfect humanity, finely woven redemptive purity. The night, a loving Father's hand laid His Promised Seed to a manger. Reaching the unlightened world, yet rejected, spit upon...

I have to be patient, and not too concerned About the things I can’t manage If some of the stones I left lying unturned For this I cannot be disparaged The island is so overcrowded and small New comers arrive by the boats They want to steal space, so the natives can fall Into the sea full of ghosts But what was Mayflower...

THE PROMISED LAND
My gaze lingered, met by a nod of approval So, here short words are legal. At last, my heart finds shelter, an open space Where emotions can find their place. With a wink, I see a creature so dear Lovely as morning dew, fresh and clear. It wears a smile, soft as...
