How to build the perfect home
Upon the wood that was once the timbers of a barn,
the wood that was once a part of the chattering forests of the hills,
I write a letter of the kind of love that gives birth to entire worlds
Shadows of a Broken Home
Through the quiet of the night, shadows dance
Across the walls of a once happy home
Echoes of laughter linger in the air
But now replaced by silence, heavy and cold
Whispers of Courage
Within the realm of love, a girl does dwell,
Her heart a tumultuous storm, a story to tell,
She yearns for a boy, with feelings so deep,
But fear grips her soul, her secret to keep.
A resentful mother
Through the quiet of the night, she sits alone,
Her heart heavy with a burden all her own.
Her hands, once soft, now clenched in anger,
Resentment burning, a silent danger.
A mother’s love
In the cradle of her warm embrace, love blooms,
A mother's heart, a haven of tender care,
Her arms, a sanctuary that consumes
All worries, all fears, all burdens we bear.
Photographs
A portrait of time.
A frame without a lie.
The stills that tell a story.
A conversation more than worthy.
Had I been a girl.
Why am I a guy?
Sometimes the mind may lie.
I wonder what goes beyond the walls of mine.
Whose skin am I in?
What is this?
I don’t recognize it.
This color is a miss.
What am I?
Why do I blend in with the night?
Willowing Trees
The trees are stained with red
The leaves are bright with brown
All the trees are dead
They whither without a sound
Black-Ground Check
The kinkiness of my thick black hair
Represents my resistance.
The radiance of my unique smile
Shines like a lighthouse, even in exile.
The optimism in my small slanted eyes
Showcase my boldness like a letter capitalized.
Just Another Crime Story
Screams echo in the void,
“The gunman shot my boy!”
The silence is now awoken,
But the victims' words are forever unspoken.
Nature’s Symphony
In files of green and skies so blue,
Nature’s wonders come into view.
The whispering wind, the babbling brook,
In harmony, they create a soothing book.
Whispers of the Heart
In the stillness of the night, whispers start to bloom,
Like delicate flowers, filling the room.
They carry the weight of dreams and desires untold,
A language only two hearts can hold.
Journey of the Heart
Dear heart on the ground
Battered and worn
I’ve failed you once again, haven’t I?
You fell five feet from my sleeve and now
You lay there beaten and bruised
