I open behind the curtains
To let in the most beautiful ultra light
You who knows this heart better than anyone else
A soul calls singing enchantingly
In flash your blinding
brings salt to the eyes
crystal pearls flashing diamond silver
Mixed with golden sunlight
paints a rainbow of colours
laced with angel rays shines out with love
The brightest blinding treasure

Ever since born, my parents whom I know
And through them my siblings, each grandparent,
Aunts, uncles and cousins with whom I owe
And share by birth a blood bond that they grant,
I wonder still, no links by me are made
Like friend’s or spouse’ whose knot can get broken
May last long as I live, or may well fade
Whilst bonds of blood for life are not token.
All said, if true identity is soul,
If I’m the part as an individual,
He, the total, an undivided whole,
Can part be separated from total?
If truly mine, yet Him I know not still,
What wonder if I sink in mire at will.

Note: The bond of birth and blood makes lasting relationship till life. But there is another bond that transcends life-- the bond truly advaita (of non-duality) of an individual soul and the supreme soul. Yet, Him who’s truly my own, I know not, and hence is neglected by me. What happens when I am free from this lifelong mire, when realization dawns? This is the subject matter of the next sonnet: When dawns my life’s new dawn.
Truly love, I wish you well, you are all the fine things in life.
Love you are truly, my love, my heart, my home.
Love, I truly feel all your love, it transcends and makes me feel well.
Your love has truly made my life feel brighter, it lifts me up in moments when I feel down.
I never feel alone, I truly feel you walk beside me and make all my moments feel extra nice.
Love you to the moon and stars and beyond.
Lifting prayers to God, today and always.
Having Friends Who Truly Care For You
Kevin Davis 2026
Having friends who truly care for you
Is one of life’s great gifts in all we do.
To know you can turn to, with open ears,
And share with them your joys and fears.
Some have had friends there since their birth,
Sisters and brothers who know their worth.
Others you meet along life’s way,
Who touch your heart and help you stay.
They walk beside you through highs and lows,
Through sudden storms and gentle snows.
They lift you up when hope feels thin,
And cheer the quiet strength within.
With laughter shared and tears that fall,
They answer when you need to call.
No perfect words, no grand display—
Just being there from day to day.
And though our paths may twist or bend,
Time cannot break a faithful friend.
For love once given, tried, and true,
Lives on in all that friends help you do.
I shoot myself into the cosmos prepared for adventure
insight I find as space travel opens me up to new possibilities
I never realized how small I was until this moment
My space suit is more than comfortable, I feel loved
Nowhere is it too tight, I am amazed by the new world I find
I travel from planet to planet on my starship, feeling joy
Other feelings I have never had before, overtake me
I am an explorer, a cosmonaut, opening up to new experiences
the planets embrace my travel, welcoming me, reassuring me
Heaven is here, I can feel her, there is much positivity
Earth words are not sufficient to describe these new feelings
You cannot explain what you have never experienced
I dart in between the stars, feeling whole for the first time
Not caring if it is my last time because now, I have truly lived my life.
to truly be whole
we must be in touch with our soul
I call mine Trixie and claim she is my muse
Or I give credit to the deer, eagle or wolf,
my three power animals
they give me what I need daily
Deer gives me tears for those who are hurting
and empathy to go along with it
Eagle gives me the power to soar, so I can zoom in my sleep
Wolf gives me the aloneness I need
to separate myself from the pack
so I can rejuvenate and refresh myself,
the heart of the matter is this, I am in touch with my soul
it is what makes me want to be me
the me that survives my incarnations
I truly am whole
and I love it
We fell in love and married young,
others said we couldn’t know.
Who else could truly know my heart,
or which way I should go?
We all must choose the path to walk,
and how we’ll live each day.
It makes no difference the choice we make,
if we take God along our way.
All our challenges will be lessons learned,
he can make it a perfect day.
Others may snicker and laugh at us,
it doesn’t matter what they may say.
God teaches us through every test,
and after struggles He gives us rest.
Let me be enough for you...
Search for me
Pull me out
Of myself and self doubt
Snake charmer play your magic flute
Snake charmer play your magic flute
Make me believe you love me too
Reach way down deep
Past brick walls
Beyond pretend, to all my flaws
See the Me that I really am
Love me truly if you truly can
Love me truly if you truly can
[chorus]
Let me be enough to deserve the love you give
Let me wake with you each day, and each day let me live
Knowing you know me, yes, you do…
Your enough for me, let me be enough for you.
[verse]
Lift my veil
Reveal my face
Lead me to amazing grace
Overlook the wrong I don't mean to do
And I promise to love you like this too.
Strip me down
to the skin
As innocent as I was then
A new creature without any rust
And show me once again how to trust
Clean me up
with great care
Until I stand before you bare
Let the shame I feel finally go away
Let our lives begin anew today
Let our lives begin anew today
[chorus]
Let me be enough to deserve the love you give
Let me wake with you each day, and each day let me live
Knowing you know me, yes, you do…
Your enough for me, let me be enough for you.
When I someday die,
I'll no longer wonder why
Life flashes in eyes.
I'll then truly realize
Why it was all meant for me.
I haven't written anything truly meaningful in a while, my soul is silent,
So, could you speak to me a little more, give me a voice through your presence?
It’s not about selfishness, but the ink in the pen yearns for your attention, it trembles,
It desires you, more intensely than I do, in a silent dance of hidden emotions.
Just a few moments from you and it begins to breathe again with paper wings,
The words return, flowing smoothly on the page, reminding me of longing and yearning,
For perhaps I'm the type who hides from what I feel deep inside,
But my pen doesn’t lie; it writes what I cannot say, revealing hidden fears.
Not for me, but for this fragile ink that comes to life with you,
Could you give me a bit of your time, allow me to be reborn through letters?
In the silence between us, where desires become visible, I become whole again, an echo.
You are not here, yet you've never truly left,
you are like a dream wrestling in the morning mist,
floating in the silence between two deep breaths,
where my heart awaits the echo of a forgotten name.
My words are swallows caught in memories,
flying through the sky of our lost twilight,
and sometimes I smile as if I've found solace,
but that smile is a sandcastle beneath the waves.
We have never become what we could have been,
but somewhere deep down you still live like a myth,
a song resonating through the pages of a book,
a flower caught between eternal light and shadow.
I get lost in thoughts like a traveler through dreamscapes,
seeking hidden meanings in the silence between us,
where you are always present, even if invisible,
a specter dancing among the shadows of memories.
You remain like an old perfume caught on a scarf,
an echo of love still vibrating through time,
the rustle of leaves under a wind unaware of us,
a falling star refusing to find its end.
True and Deep within me
I found it
That I have lost
My smile
Which I had used
Hope and soul
But to defend
sorrow and pain
No longer
Will entice
My heart
With its positivity
I know that
I should stay true-
To myself
I owe that
At the least…
P.S. you can read this backwards (too).
Here is a poem for Mental Health Awareness week:
We never know how a person truly feels inside. Sometimes we hide behind a smile.
Remember to check on your friends and family.
Don't be afraid to ask for help if you need it.
I look into the mirror,
What do I see?
For only I, know the real me!
I may put on a smile, as I walk through the door,
But deep down inside,
I feel unsure and insecure.
My emotions I often hide,
I don't tell a single soul,
But I tried!!
People often say, "How are you today?"
I will tell them, "I'm fine, "
Then I'll be on my way.
Even if someone seems fine,
Just check they are really ok.
Don't ignore,
They may need your help and support,
Just a little bit more.
When we have the love of friends and family,
So important!!
Be there for each other,
For you it's in your bedroom in which I will never ever tire.
For you it is a different kind of sparkling fire.
For you it will only be us that I truly desire.
