MY POEMS
MIDNGIGHT REFLECTIONS
It was the darkest hour;
When silence spoke louder than sound,
And hearts confessed what daylight denied.
In the quietest most mysterious parts of the night,
The world felt suspended
Between dream and reality.
Shadows lingered where whispers had been,
And even the stars seemed unsure whether to shine or listen.
Somewhere a memory stirred;
Soft as breath, sharp as longing.
And in that fragile stillness,
Truth uncloaked itself,
Asking nothing but to be seen.

THE DEATH OF LOVE
Intimacy is weaponized.
Dating, a power play.
A battle of dominance,
Not affection.
They make you feel safe.
Then drop you from a great height,
To feast on the supply,
The deeper the trust, the sweeter the betrayal.
Marriage is but a performance.
A mask worn for the crowd.
Lies and deceit flow easily.
Disrespect becomes routine.
No more burning flame,
For a love long gone.
No gentle light remains,
Lit by memory alone.
Pain is all that is left.
Hate and heartbreak,
And a harvest of regrets,
For love, unfortunately, is already dead

COSMIC DANCE
The stars glide through the night in a celestial ballet.
Galaxies spin the sky in brilliant shades.
Colorful tales from Nebula's pallet,
Cosmic dance, in a stunning display!
Astral jewels orbit, a heavenly stride.
Mysteries whispered in the universe wide.
Endless wonder in each breathtaking sight,
Unveiling the universe's limitless might.

FLAWLESS BEAUTY
In quiet whispers, a legend of grace,
Flawless radiance, time can't erase.
A painted masterpiece, colors that entice,
Each hue and shade, love's own design.
Unmasking dreams with every gaze,
Sophistication in every brief step.
A harmonious blend of soul and essence
Flawless beauty, a priceless presence.

THE QUIET PARTS
In the serenity of your inner being,
Where the heart and mind are unbound.
Pay heed to the whispers of your spirit.
For in the quiet, truth is found.
Cherish yourself wholeheartedly,
And paint a masterpiece of love.
Embrace the tranquillity and allow it to exist,
For in the quiet, secrets unfold.
Take a moment to breath, and let peace reign.
Happiness resides in the hush,
So, welcome the quiet, my dear friend.
And feel the calm in your soul!

BLUE FLOWER
Up on a hill where the skies are grey,
A lonesome blue flower swayed and lay,
Its petals wilted, its spirits low,
A melancholic scene for sure.
The bloom, once teeming with vitality,
Unblemished, an azure beauty to see,
Its tired crown now hung so low,
As dewdrops weep and freely flow.
The wind mourns with each and every breath,
As the flower inches closer to its death.
Nevermore to bask in the sun's warm embrace,
Like many, its journey has come to an end.
So, let us mourn this flower blue,
And bid adieu to this beauty, rare and true.
For in its passing, a lesson to be learned,
That beauty fades, but life will carry on.

UNBROKEN AND UNBOWED
Amidst the chaos of war and destruction,
Where fear is rampant and blood is shed,
Brave souls stand with unbroken spirit,
As the world around them is decimated.
They face the storm, unbroken and unbowed,
Through the darkest of hours, they stood strong.
Through sorrow and agony, their courage is found,
Guided by their unwavering faith in God.
War's cold touch, can't steal their grace
Standing tall and firm on a sacred base
Deep within them, the power to mend,
Brave souls, unbroken and unbowed to the end.

FULL MOON
Full moon so fair, so bright!
A silver jewel in the sky,
You illuminate the darkest night,
With a warm and gentle light.
Your presence calms my troubled heart.,
With memories of a love far apart,
A dream of peace and solace.
A promise to be united at last.
A traveler’s guide a constant friend,
Through every twist and bend,
A reprieve in times of strain,
A loyal companion to the end
Oh moon, my love transient,
I lose myself in your warm embrace.
A soothing relief for every pain
A vision of beauty and grace

LAILA (NIGHT'S BEAUTY)
Laila, night’s beauty,
Your beauty is beyond compare,
You embody the night,
Filling my heart with care.
Your eyes are bright like the stars,
Your lips are soft like a rose,
Your heart, so gentle and kind,
Calms my trouble woes.
Laila night’s beauty,
Your beauty I cannot deny,
You embody the night,
My love for you will never die.

BLUE EYES
The prettiest eyes I have ever seen.
In their gaze, my heart's held fast.
From the depth of the oceans unleashed,
Like two sapphires trapped in glass.
Gleaming with true love's eternal sheen,
Of a natural beauty unsurpassed.
The promise of an endless dream,
And a love that's bound to last.

IN THE MIND OF A POET
In the mind of a poet,
Horses have wings.
Birds sing with melodies that rhyme.
Dreams dance above the clouds.
In the mind of a poet,
The eyes speak a thousand words.
Every heartbeat is a note.
Love is a source of life.
In the mind of a poet,
There is no good or bad,
Just happy faces floating about.
Lovers speak with their hearts, and kiss with their mouths.
In the mind of a poet,
The moon and the stars whisper to each other.
Every sunrise is a verse,
And every sunset is a song.

ECHOES OF THE FORGOTTEN
Whispers of legends dwell in the shadows,
Forgotten tales buried in the past.
A bygone era, its brilliance now lost,
Quietly moving through the corridors of time.
Remnants of the past, faint but clear.
Cherished memories, once precious and close,
Sounds of laughter, now distant and hushed.
On the canvas of time, they quietly sketch.
Unspoken tales, dreams cast away,
Echoes of the forgotten, a treasure to unearth.
