Without Her, Life Fades

-


 In the quiet cadence of my soul’s refrain,

A yearning stirs—an ache, a sweet, soft pain.

To be with her, the echo of a dream,

A tether to infinity’s slow-winding stream.


Without your light, the world is muted gray,

A hollow stage for a fleeting, loveless play.

Life’s vibrant shades grow cold and dim,

A lonely song upon a broken hymn.


I crave the brush of her tender, sacred hand,

A vital pulse in shifting, empty sand.

To feel her breath, her heartbeat close and near,

A truth that melts and banishes all fear.


For love is not a momentary spark,

But boundless rivers flowing in the dark.

A universe reflected in her gaze,

A timeless dance through all our living days.


In her presence, I find my truest grace,

A boundless sky, a home, an ageless place.

Nothing else matters, only this profound bliss—

A love profound, an infinite, gentle kiss.


So let me anchor in her brilliant light,

Through every fragile day and silent night.

For without her, this fragile, living art—

Would cease to bloom and crumble in my heart.

The Light We Carry

-

In this beautiful journey beneath the endless sky, We meet many souls as the moments pass by. Some bring us comfort, some bring us pain, Some arrive like sunshine, some like rain. ~~~~ Some hearts are candles in the silence of night, Burning with love just to offer their light. They give their warmth though their flame grows small, Asking for nothing, expecting nothing at all. ~~~~ Some souls are clouds that travel above, Carrying kindness, compassion, and love. They pour down blessings on the earth below, Helping lost dreams and tired hearts grow. ~~~ And some are like fireflies dancing in the dark, Carrying within them a beautiful spark. They do not need stars to prove they shine, Their little glow makes the night divine. ~~~ A firefly does not compete with the sun, It shines because shining is what it has begun. A gentle reminder through the silent night, Even a small soul can create light. ~~~ But some hearts are black holes in space, Taking our love without leaving a t...

The Lady Moon

Image
I am the woman woven from the night, A silver mirror of forgotten sight. The world admires the beauty that I show, But never sees the storms that rage below. Sometimes I vanish from the crowded sky, Not to be lost, but just to wonder why- To find the pieces that I cast aside, And heal the wounds I usually must hide. For so long, I remained a perfect sphere, To shine completely and conceal my fear. I strove to give without a pausing breath, As if a fading phase were like a death. I wore a mask to prove that I was whole, And locked away the shadows of my soul. But in my own reflection I could see: Who am I when no eyes are watching me? I dropped the mask and found a quiet space, The dark became a fertile, healing place. It was the soil where sleeping seeds could grow, The only home my truest self could know. My crescent phase has taught me how to wait, The hidden moon gave courage to my fate. The full moon taught acceptance of the past, To know that nothing is designed to las...

To the Man I Haven’t Met Yet

  To the Man I Haven’t Met Yet ************************* I sit beside the window, watching the rain, Listening softly to its gentle refrain. The world outside is covered in grey, But my heart is dreaming of a beautiful day. !!! With every drop that falls from the sky, I wonder about the man I’ve yet to find. A stranger somewhere, living his life, The one who may become my future, my light. !!! I wonder what your eyes will say, When we finally meet someday. Will you see the dreams I hide? Will you understand the heart I keep inside? !!! Will you hold my hand when the storms arrive? Will you stand beside me through the highs and the tides? Will you choose me when the years pass by, Not only when love feels easy and bright? !!! I don’t dream of a perfect fairytale, A love where nothing ever fails. I dream of a heart that stays true, A soul that says, “I’ll walk through life with you.” !!! I dream of a man who respects my name, Who keeps our love alive through joy and pain. Someone who...

The Primitive

  The Primitive ************** I remember the world before it had a name, Before the green was broken by the plow, When fire was a wonder, not a weapon, And the sky was all the ceiling we’d allow. ->~<- We tracked the deer by heartbeat through the thicket, We thanked the river for the life it gave, We had no locks to keep out one another, And no one dug a brother for a grave. ->~<- No name was carved upon my skin, No walls divided me from you, No lies were dressed as golden words, No masks hid what was true. ->~<- A sharp stone became my first tool, A flame became my guiding light, I fought the cold, I faced the dark, And survived another night. ->~<- Then came the age of iron and of angles, When men began to measure out the mud, To call a mountain "mine" and fence the valley, And sign the deed in ink, and then in blood. ->~<- We traded in the starlight for the lantern, We traded in the silence for the gear, We built our towers higher than the re...

The Ledger of My Hearth

  The Ledger of My Hearth ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ I have learned that honesty is a treasure, The root from which my home has grown, The quiet place where I can measure The life we’ve built, the seeds we’ve sown. !!! It is the vow I hold through weather, The open heart, the trusting gaze, The unseen thread that binds together Our separate nights and shared-out days. ~~~ Yet I have found that love’s devotion Is not in every word I say; The tide of endless, raw emotion Can wear a gentle bond away. !!! For when the floors and dishes call me, When weary hands have carried on, I hide the storms that rise within me Until the sharper winds are gone. ~~~ I do not speak each passing sorrow, Each tired thought, each moment’s ache; For some small truths are best to borrow The grace that kindness chooses to make. !!! I soften words and quiet anger, I let the little battles cease; Not from fear, nor from surrender, But from my longing to keep peace. ~~~ For if I showed each hidden shadow, Each rest...

The Weight of Honesty

-

  The Weight of Honesty !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Honesty is a quiet flame, A light that burns without a name; It shows the road where shadows lie, A steady North Star beneath the sky. *** It builds the bridges hearts can cross, It saves the soul from hidden loss; A word kept true, a promise bright, A candle held against the night. *** Trust is a mirror, clear and deep, A fragile treasure we must keep; A single lie may leave a scar on heart, A wound that travels from afar. *** For honesty is the silent vault, The solemn vow that bears no fault; The scale that weighs the legal measure, The guardian of another’s treasure. *** It wears no crown of gold or stone, Yet sits beside the sovereign throne; It buys the peace between two brothers, It joins the hearts of distant others. *** It locks the chest and keeps the key, A fragile grace we grant freely; It patches wounds of time and pain, And mends the cracks of history’s chain. *** Yet honesty alone cannot plough, Nor feed the hung...

Wedding Morning

Wedding Morning ***!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!*** The sun rose softly that morning, painting gold across the sky, while a little girl inside her heart wondered when the years went by. *** The house was filled with laughter, with footsteps, songs, and light, but somewhere deep within her soul, she held a silent night. *** Her hands wore shades of crimson, her eyes held dreams and tears, a thousand little memories stood beside her through the years. *** Her mother’s loving whispers, her father’s gentle smile, her brothers’ endless teasing - she carried every mile. *** The jewels upon her table sparkled bright and new, but none could shine as brightly as the love she always knew. *** Today she’d leave the doorway where her childhood used to stay, walking into someone’s world on her own wedding day. *** She smiled for all around her, hiding storms she couldn’t say, for a daughter becomes a bride while her heart learns to fly away. *** And somewhere in the silence, beneath the bridal ...

Bathing Days on the Congo River

  Bathing Days on the Congo River ~:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::::~ Along the mighty Congo's winding breast, Where giant baobabs stood at rest, There lay a broken bathing ghat, worn by years, A keeper of laughter, dreams, and tears. !!~!! The river flowed like an old African griot's song, Carrying the village's soul along. Men and women gathered by its side, Washing clothes with rhythm and pride. !!~!! The pounding of cloth upon weathered stone Blended with voices in a timeless tone. News, stories, jokes, and village lore Flowed as freely as the river's roar. !!~!! Then came the rafts of massive timber, Bound from giant forest giants' limbs. Engines growling like distant lions at night, They drifted slowly through the morning light. !!~!! Those floating timber towns rolled by, A travelling village beneath the sky. Families cooked, children played and ran, Life unfolding upon wood and water as one. !!~!! Beneath those moving giants' shade, Women i...

The Honeymoon Murder

-
Image
  A life was born in silence- not of envy, nor of doubt, but where fear began to think, and love was quietly devoured. In the stillness, shadows gathered, buried beneath practiced calm: a fragile seed of trust crushed beneath the weight of secrets. Uninvited. Inconvenient. It grew beneath the surface, its heartbeat a fleeting echo, treated not as life but proof of guilt. A truth that threatened order, a future that would not fit- innocence eclipsed by careful forgetting. Society’s gaze became the judge, its whispers sharper than law. Disgrace loomed heavier than death, so a plan was quietly drawn. Not in rage, but in cold patience, a script written in silence, betrayal cloaked in normalcy, smiles rehearsed to hide the fracture. The victim dreamed without fear, folded their future into vows- shared roofs, unnamed children, mornings still unbroken. Trust was given freely, love without suspicion, never knowing each tenderness was a step closer to erasure. Plans matured with care, tick...

When the Ink Runs Dry

-
Image
Words have forsaken me their echoes dissolving into the twilight of silence, like songbirds relinquishing their melodies, when the heavens forget how to sing, and the sky itself falls mute. Every motif I once explored, every dream I dared to chase into the horizon, has been distilled into a single, fragile vessel- an inkpot named existence- its contents now drained, hollow, like a well exhausted by endless drought, leaving only cracked echoes of what once was. My hands tremble- frail as autumn’s last, withered leaves- clinging desperately to a weathered, trembling branch; they no longer recall the weight of creation, nor the tender warmth of nascent beginnings, the fervent spark that ignited my soul. The pen- faithful confidant of my innermost self, my lifelong companion through storms and calm- slips silently from my grasp, like a lover departing in the hush of night, denying even the mercy of farewell, vanishing into shadows of unspoken goodbyes. I cannot lift it- cannot plead for it...
