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.

Lent

Into the wilderness, she disappeared 
Forty days and forty nights.
Her body emaciated, her hair withering.
Should she subject herself to such cruel doings?

Limerence

Roses starve in the greenhouses like sheltered children, Wicked yet beautiful. 
Their contradiction is a fate clinging to the divine, It pains me, this envy 
Not lonely, not wicked,  
beautiful and shunned.

Doubt

It feels like waiting for a bus 
With no tires or an engine 
No driver and wishing 
Somebody was there

Love

Love, 
give me a chance to experience you 
to spread my pedal wings and embrace your existence to
crash and fall wherever your fire burns

Photographs

A portrait of time.
A frame without a lie.
The stills that tell a story.
A conversation more than worthy.

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.

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
