Shadows of Solitude
From a person of joy and bundle of fun,
To a fallen one, filled with guilt and poison.
The scars in my heart, like jagged glass, could no longer bear the façade,
From choosing others’ happiness first
To prioritizing my own.
From the life of the party, where laughter echoed like bells,
To the solace of four corners, serene and silent.
By abandoning those I trusted and loved,
I learned that I can be an island,
Alone and contented, surrounded by the vast, indifferent sea.
From a blazing sun, warming all in its path,
To a solitary...
To a fallen one, filled with guilt and poison.
The scars in my heart, like jagged glass, could no longer bear the façade,
From choosing others’ happiness first
To prioritizing my own.
From the life of the party, where laughter echoed like bells,
To the solace of four corners, serene and silent.
By abandoning those I trusted and loved,
I learned that I can be an island,
Alone and contented, surrounded by the vast, indifferent sea.
From a blazing sun, warming all in its path,
To a solitary...

Separated Hearts
A love to remember forevermore,
Cherish you endlessly, my heart’s core.
A love for all of time, until the end of time,
Bound by fate’s cruel, silent chime.
A love that will never cease,
Yet never together, never at peace.
In dreams, we meet, in shadows, we part,
Hopeful and sad, entwined from the start.
Through the seasons, our hearts remain,
In sun and storm, in joy and pain.
A love that whispers through the night,
A beacon of hope, a distant light.
Though paths separate and time moves on,

Last words and closed doors (Sad Version)
I never imagined, on the day I knew,
How deeply I wanted you, how much I grew.
But you had moved on, left me behind,
A piercing pain, through lifetimes entwined.
Regret, a shadow, dark and vast,
For the love I lost, the moments passed.
Yet seeing you thrive, your joy so bright,
Fills my heart, though it aches each night.
On the day I realized what I must do,
To open my heart, to be true.
I was too late, you were already gone,
Our story ended, our song withdrawn.

Fills my heart, though it aches each night.

To open my heart, to be true.

Our story ended, our song withdrawn.

Last words and closed doors (Light Version)
I never imagined, on the day I knew,
How deeply I wanted you, how much I grew.
But you had moved on, found your way,
And I cherish the memories of our shared days.
Regret fades, replaced by light,
For the love we had, the moments bright.
Seeing you thrive, your joy so clear,
Fills my heart with warmth, my dear.
On the day I realized what I must do,
To open my heart, to be true.
Though our paths diverged, our spirits soar,
Our story lives on, forevermore.
Our “us,” what we built with care,
A love so...
How deeply I wanted you, how much I grew.
But you had moved on, found your way,
And I cherish the memories of our shared days.

Fills my heart with warmth, my dear.

To open my heart, to be true.
Though our paths diverged, our spirits soar,
Our story lives on, forevermore.
Our “us,” what we built with care,
A love so...

Digital Embrace and Love Across Screens
In the last three years, with you by my side,
I never imagined we’d converse through screens so wide.
Morning, night, and after, holding you was my dream,
Now it remains a vision, a distant gleam.
This is the consequence of my weakness,
Of being faint-hearted, of choosing to flee.
Now I stare at you, a hundred times smaller,
On this little device, not what it used to be.
Yet seeing you still gives me butterflies,
My heart skips beats, like a bird that flies.
Though we’re apart, and dreams seem far,
Your presence on...

Eternal Echoes
In the tapestry of time,
we wove our dreams.
From mountain peaks to valleys,
and flowing streams.
Each journey etched with love,
a sacred art.
From dawn to dusk,
you held my heart.
Breaths entwined in the rhythm of our days,
Your kisses, sweet, in countless tender ways.
Memories bloom like flowers in the night.
Their fragrance lingers, a bittersweet delight.
In the quiet hours,
tears softly fall.
Yet your love remains,
a gentle call.
Our love, an echo,
through time it will...

Yet your love remains,

Ish
The day I left you,
my world stood still.
A void within, no heart to fill.
My soul, once whole, now torn apart.
You were the anchor to my heart.
In letting go,
I lost my way.
The sanity that kept at bay.
A piece of me, forever gone.
In parting ways, I lost the dawn.
The nights grew long,
the days so cold.
Without your warmth,
my heart grew old.
Memories of you, a haunting song.
In silence, I now belong.
I search for light,
but shadows stay.
In dreams, you’re never far away. ...

Reunited
In the quiet moments of our reunion,
I felt the weight of every unsaid word,
Every tear that fell in the silence of the night.
Your eyes, once filled with sorrow, now held a glimmer of hope,
A testament to the strength you found within.
As we stood there, two souls reconnecting,
I realized that courage isn’t just in the grand gestures,
But in the small, honest confessions,
In the willingness to face the past and embrace the future.
So here we are, on the cusp of a new beginning,
With hearts that have been broken and...

Morning’s Echo
This morning, one of the toughest of the year,
Your early call, filled with cries and fear.
A nightmare’s grip, so familiar and cold,
Sent chills down my spine, a story retold.
I know your nightmares, how they haunt your night,
I longed to comfort you, to make things right.
Not just through the phone, but by your side,
Yet I stayed away, my heart in a tide.
Was it anger that kept me from your door?
No, that wasn’t it, of that I’m sure.
Was it heartlessness, a void in my chest?
No, for I wept, feeling unrest.

Moon among the stars
Sky once glisten,
Night brings life uneven.
Lost in the limelight,
In battle of hearts we try to fight.
Engagements never once won,
In a life that was never blessed with vision.
To be treated right was the dream,
Even among gentlemen esteemed.
Soul set ablaze,
By star lost in haze.
Passion filled by planets,
Empty heart burried in a casket.
Unquenchable thirst greeted by rocks,
Path to true pleasure is block.
Mend and bend with the earth,
Wandered soul stomped like dirt.

Hello September
Caffeine filled time
Jolly and giddy for a while.
Words fly across our consciousness
Even with the depths of our hearts' converse.
Clouds canopied tall skyscrapers
It's amazing that we're just a couple of takers.
Confidant for life
Even in the face of a jackknife.
Nerve-wracking appraisal,
Long periods where fear assembled.
Crunch time came
Moments passed and overcome.
Triumph another challenge,
Together accompanied by the urge to munch.
Delight was not even the feeling,
But these will be moments that will...
Jolly and giddy for a while.
Words fly across our consciousness
Even with the depths of our hearts' converse.
Clouds canopied tall skyscrapers
It's amazing that we're just a couple of takers.
Confidant for life
Even in the face of a jackknife.

Long periods where fear assembled.
Crunch time came
Moments passed and overcome.
Triumph another challenge,
Together accompanied by the urge to munch.
Delight was not even the feeling,
But these will be moments that will...

Let it Flow
Here's a bump and a nudge,
so you can remember.
be good to yourself first,
then others second.
Beyond your sight of kindness,
you are allowed to close your eyes
and forget traditions
that the world erected moons ago.
Beyond your will of strength
you are allowed to crumble,
breathe deeply as you wallow.
Beyond your heart filled with love,
you are allowed to shatter,
to hear that inner voice
and forget the rest of the world.
even in a moment
you can choose not to love...
so you can remember.
be good to yourself first,
