A Dagger's Blade


Your laughter haunts my lonely nights,  
Memories echo in empty halls,  
Each whisper stabs my aching heart,  
Once we soared, now shadows fall,  
A friendship lost, a love undone,  
In silence, tears become my song.

Eclipsed Heart

In the hollow stillness of night,  
Whispers of your laughter linger near,  
Each echo pierces the weary soul,  
A dagger thrusts within my chest,  
A wound that bleeds an endless ache,  
The world fades into shades of gray.  

Dreams once bright, now dimmed and lost,  
Memories swirl like autumn leaves,  
In the depths of sorrow I dwell,  
A void echoing your absence still,  
Love's sweet song now a haunting ache,  
Without you, each moment drags on.  

Time bends beneath this heavy weight,  
The sun retreats, shadows grow long,  
Hope flickers like a candle's flame,  
Loneliness tightens like a noose,  
Yet in this pain, your spirit lives,  
Forever cherished, forever missed.

Whispers of Discovery

In twilight's glow, two hearts align,  
Eyes like stars, tenderly entwined.  
Each word spoken, a gentle thread,  
Mapping dreams of paths ahead.  

Laughter dances on velvety nights,  
Fingers brush with electric lights.  
In quiet moments, worlds collide,  
A new love blooms, with arms open wide.

Fortress

I crafted silence, stone by stone,  
a steadfast fortress, my heart's own.  
The world sings soft; I draw away,  
its love a tempest I can’t obey.  

Yet deep inside, a spark ignites,  
a gentle yearning that ignites.  
To be embraced, one loyal hand—  
a bond that helps me understand.  

But shadows lurk, their whispers glide,  
in hidden nooks where sorrows bide.  
Their tendrils stretch through walls I've laid,  
a haunting tune from yesteryears played.  

Yet through the night, a vision swells,  
where warmth persists and courage dwells.  
In tender glow, two souls entwined,  
a radiant hope, their fates aligned.

With trembling heart, I breach the gate,  
to seek the light, to trust my fate.
And in that dawn, the shadows fade,  
as courage blooms in love’s cascade.

Phoenix in the Ashes

Bruised and battered, I still remain.  
Each scar a tale of silent pain.  
Two years of hell, I walked alone,  
A fractured heart, a broken bone.  

They never saw, they never knew,  
The storms I fought, the nights I blew.  
Yet from the rubble, I now arise,  
A flame unyielding, burning skies.

With wings of hope, I soar anew,  
Embracing dawn, embraced by blue.
Past shadows fade, the light calls me near,  
In every breath, a whisper clear.

Resilient spirit, fierce and bold,  
I gather strength from stories told.
With every heartbeat, I claim my fight,  
A symphony of dreams igniting the night.

In the tapestry of stars, I weave my truth,  
A testament to courage, forever uncouth.
From ashes rise, no fear to glean,  
In the dance of life, I reign supreme.

Whirlwind

My mind spins in endless flight,  
chased by shadows of self-doubt.  
Love’s mirror feels unkind tonight,  
each flaw a storm, my heart shouts.  

I wish to rest where calm resides,  
be free of the chaos within.  
But winds of fear whisper, collide,  
uncertainty sways where I begin.

Yet in the tempest, light may peek,  
a flicker of hope through darkened skies.
With courage born from whispered dreams,  
I dare to dance in the storm’s embrace.

For in the storm, my spirit gleams,  
with every heartbeat, I rise, I face.
I entwine with my fears, redefined,  
each tempest a sculptor of my grace.
I forge my path through roaring winds,  
the tempest sings, a fierce lullaby of strength.
