Last night held me in its quiet arms— no dreams to speak of, just the weight of you pressed soft against my skin. Each awakening— a smile tethered to your breath, falling back into that tender space, where love lingers like a whispered promise. You’re intoxicating— a breath caught between heartbeats, breathtaking, yet blind to the beauty you wear like a second skin. Maybe it’s the words I’ve thrown, sharp...

At dusk when my shadows quit me, That’s when hundred arrows hit me. So far some faceless folks fooled me, My own close to heart now cheat me. A feeling heart hails thee, my friend, Come heart to heart, why audit me? Come, pry unto my nightlong dreams, Thence, for what I say credit me. Dawn dawns, if dream deprived I...

Why should we bleakly tread alone? We know our paths are peril-prone. Come dear, let's travel together. Let's dare to face each rough weather. Should we not shun from arrogance? Shouldn't we hold our elegance? Shouldn't games have lines of scrimmage? Shouldn't we loathe our false image? Our fates, like sea-depths, are unknown. Yet, we have our lone moral zone. Though our voyage seems to...

Under the veil of silence, thoughts float like the shadows of lost dreams, In the labyrinth of time, where seconds whisper echoes of longing, It is the moment when spirits dance in harmony with forgotten stars, And in the depths of the soul, doors open to eternal realms. Sleep is the gateway where the lights of reason fade, slow...

In the abyssal silence of fading stars, I travel through shadows, Under the heavy eyelids of night, I walk the ancient, nameless path. Mysterious words, like an old prayer, roll in echoes, Calling the forgotten spirits of the forests to dance under the moon. I feel my soul cradled by the cosmic wind, on its unseen wings, In an embrace...

Echoes of the holy grace, for this place, Endless woe of devolution, Forever entice, your grace, The moon is your solution. Confined in this space, of endless grace, Under the moonlight, it is illusion, Illusion of woe, forever retrace, It is all persuasion, or is it union? Shadows creep, where darkness breeds, A symphony of sorrows, never-ending, Lost souls wander, planting crushed seeds, A tale,...

The feelings of the mind are hidden behind the clouds Unexpected changes abound in the storm The steps have been taken on a path without turning Life's lessons have taught me the way to walk Crazy thoughts have forgotten the lessons learned Chasing dreams that didn't come true The desires of the youth have gone astray...

At the altar, see our shadows serving under the hand of our Majesty’s Spirit. In this succinct space, how does God lean into us, light up our souls - with healing, comfort, ameliorating whys. His Spirit overshadows us. Undeserving mankind, less than an iota of sand, means much more than we can fathom to the weightiness of the savior’s cause. God’s face had turned from sin - to bridge the gap, a worthy...

Under the moonlight, when shadows whisper the secrets of ancient spirits, A thread of light dances in the darkness, guiding lost steps, In the depths of silence, where dreams merge with memories, A river of thoughts flows, carrying echoes of time and desires. A solitary traveler through the vast cosmos, lost in the sea of stars, I seek a hidden...

I remember the first question I never had the courage to speak. I feared I would not receive an answer, and feared even more if I did. words were born from hunger, not from dreams. I had no dreams, only roads walked by others, and I clung to the edge of their shadows, like a child forbidden to ask where is the mother. Wisdom is a...
