In the Silence Between Words

-

 



There is a voice beneath the hush,

A whisper carved from years of silence,

Not fragile, not broken, just unseen-

Waiting for the moment to be spoken.

/

You lean in, but hesitate-

Not because I am distant,

But because your words are afraid

To touch the truth in my eyes.

/

I am not a shadow hiding behind curtains,

Nor a story you tell in passing-

I am the echo of your care,

The pulse beneath the quiet.

/

Speak to me, plain and clear,

Let the silence be honest,

For in your words, I find my strength-

Not in the hush that keeps me small.

/

I am here-whole, waiting, willing-

To be seen beyond the whispers,

Not a rumor, not a lesson,

But a voice that demands to be heard.

/

And when you finally meet my gaze,

You’ll see the quiet resilience-

A woman unbroken by silence,

Standing tall in her truth.

  The Haunting Search for the Lost **************************** Beneath a sky paved  bruised and heavy stone,   I walk the fragile light rope all alone.   The night may whisper doubts like winter wind,   Through forests where the silent shadows grow.   ***  Phantom weeds that choke the paths below,   I seek the ghosts of those who chose to flight.   Leaving my soul an ocean in the night,   A silent tide that no one dares to know.   *** My inner screen unmakes the dust of years,   I see myself, a child devoid of fears- Before the reel was warped by biting grief,   Like winter frost that kills the budding flower.   *** The bitter cold of loneliness may bite,   Yet in that cold, I find my guiding light.   Some memories decay like rusted steel,   Leaving a hollow ache I cannot heal.   *** While others cut like diamonds in my che...

The Day I Found Us Again

-
Image
I remember the days when you were my world, when every moment with you felt like a dream unfurled. Three years of love, two years as a pair, we promised forever, we promised to care. But somewhere along the way, we lost our light, our words became fewer, our hearts filled with fights. We lived under one sky but walked different ways, lost in our silence, lost in our days. I don’t even know when we started to fall, when “us” became distant and love felt so small. We only knew one thing, standing apart- “I can’t live with you and walk my on way” said both of our hearts. So we walked to the court with a decision made, thinking goodbye was the choice we had laid. Yet every time I saw you standing there, the anger was gone, there was something still there. Then one day I asked, “Shall we have some tea?” A simple moment brought back the old me. We sat and talked like we did before, and slowly we opened the forgotten door. We laughed about memories, the silly things we did, the love we once s...

The Love of Waves

-
Image
She walks alone where the waves meet the shore, Listening for footsteps she waits for once more. The evening wind carries a whispering tune, A song of the ocean beneath the pale moon. Her eyes follow boats that disappear in the blue, Searching the horizon, still dreaming of you. The sea keeps your memories close to her heart, Though miles and silence may keep you apart. The waves come running to touch the land, Like a lover reaching for a waiting hand. They leave with the tide, they wander away, But return to the shore at the break of day. She learns from the ocean, patient and true, That love can survive when hearts are two. For even the waves that travel so far Still find their way back beneath the same star. The storms may rise and the nights may fall, The sea may answer with a distant call. But her love remains like the endless sea, A timeless song of what you mean to me. And when the moon shines over the shore, She feels your presence forevermore. For love is not lost when the wav...

Die Another Day

 Die Another Day ***************** I count the passing days upon the sky, Like drifting stars that wander slowly by. I miss the laughter that we have not shared, The quiet moments destiny prepared. *** I carry memories that are not born, Like winter fields that wait to meet the dawn. But deep beneath this solitary flame, There lives a quiet fear without a name. *** For while I dream of your desired embrace, A darker vision takes its sudden place: The day you turn your back and walk away, And steal the golden sun from every day. *** How strange that love can hold two restless seas- One filled with hope, and one with silent pleas. One wave that brings you gently to my shore, One wave that takes you back for evermore. *** We die in moments, hidden deep and small, In dreams we lose, in tears that never fall. The person that I was just yesterday Will fade like mist and quietly drift away. *** And if our tangled paths should fade away, If heavy night should steal another day, Remember th...

The Yoke of Empire

  The Yoke of Empire ********************* Beneath the shadow of a foreign flag, The heavy chains of silent stories drag. With tired hands and broken dreams they weep, In lonely graves the world forgot to keep. *** Upon the shoulders of the weary man, The master sits to rule his fleeting span. One carries pride, and one must bear the chair, A frozen picture of a world unfair. *** The master wears a coat of shining thread, The servant walks where only shadows tread. Like deep roots trapped beneath a frozen clay, The common people bleed their lives away. *** The hands that built the mighty ocean fleet, Are left to die in dust upon the street. They stand like ancient banyan trees in the gale, Though bent by storms, their spirit will not fail. *** The ruler speaks of law and golden light, But builds his palace in the deepest night. A mother’s tear, an empty, barren field, Are painful truths that power tried to shield. *** The tyrant claims he owns the open sky, Because he trapped a bir...

The Woman Who Bloomed In Winter

  The Woman Who Bloomed In Winter ************************************ She was a flower born for the golden spring, But life placed her under an endless, weeping rain, A promised garden of velvet roses Left her with only the thorns and the pain. She wore her grace like a heavy crown, While beneath her ribs, a quiet ocean threatened to drown. *** She fed the little birds in her sheltering nest, Even when no one cared for the roots of the tree, A lantern consuming its own oil in a dark room, She gave away her warmth, wild and free. She spent her light ensuring others could safely sail, A solitary lighthouse standing stark against the gale. *** Her nights were filled with heavy, shifting shadows, Her brightest dreams were buried deep in the dust, The hands that were meant to hold her gently Forgot the sacred language of love and trust. She was treated like a deep well in a desert place- Treasured for her water, but forgotten in the drought's embrace. *** She carried mountains wrapped ...

Broken Beats

  Broken Beats The forest hums, a silent, lonely sigh, Two hearts once one, now watch the branches fly. Each rhythmic tap-a memory, a phantom sound, Of love once shared, on hallowed, hollow ground.                                 Her Memories – The Female Woodpecker’s Side I remember your drumming-loud, alive, and clear, It echoed through the boughs, a song I held dear. But then, another rhythm from a distant tree, A flash of red, and joy not meant for me. My heart recoiled, a splintered, sudden dread- Another’s beat, another nest, inside my head. My tapping faltered, lost its steady chime, Believing now your melody beat to different time. His Truth -The Male Woodpecker’s Side She never knew-my fervent, pounding beat Was for our future home, for love, for something sweet. I scoured the bark for grubs, for strength, for song, To claim a space where we, at last, belong. That distant tree...

Rations and Ruins

-
Image
  In metal tins the hunger slept, While war drums beat and soldiers wept. A cracker dry, a sliver thin— A meal was packed in steel and tin. No feast, no fire, just powdered brew, And hope inside a plastic chew. A packet meant to keep the breath One step ahead of certain death. The taste of ash, a metallic tang, A hollow echo where laughter once rang. The whispered prayers, the silent dread— For sustenance meant for the living, not the dead. The field was fed by factory fare, No kitchens warmed the smoky air. Just rations marked with code and date— A soldier’s fate, a soldier’s plate. Beneath the camouflage, a gnawing ache, For home-baked bread, for goodness’ sake. The endless wait for dawn, for night, Fueled by the promise of the next stale bite. Each morsel a reminder of the world they'd left— Of comfort, of love, of lives bereft. The guns fell still. The silence burned. But peace was not what peace had earned. The cities crumbled into dust, And mouths g...

Into Your Sacred Space

-
Image
 A silent longing in the shadows of time,   A dance of fate on tangled lines  Did I find you, or did destiny misplace us,   Lost in the maze of what was and what could pass?   From my first breath, a restless quest,   Mistakes my companions, each a test Yet every stumble, every wrong turn,   Brought me closer to your flame that burns.   No more hesitations, no more doubt  A heart that yearns to be devout Take me with you, into your grace,   Or carry me into your sacred space  Where waiting fades and love takes flight,   Beyond the shadows, into endless light.

The Crimson Sunset

-
Image
Set in the mythic remnants of Lothric, this fantasy poem explores the soul of a fallen knight mourning lost love and honor. Through a dark fantasy lens akin to Dark Souls, this tale of crimson sunsets, ghostly echoes, and the eternal search for light in despair invites readers into a world of high emotion, shadowy lore, and poetic storytelling. In dusk's embrace, where shadows softly creep, A warrior's heart in sorrow's depth does seep. Crimson hues bleed into the night so deep, A love once radiant, now too far to keep.   Lothric's fields lie silent, heavy with grief, Where drakes once soared, now shadows find relief. A knight fallen, beneath the dying light, Diamond tears shimmer in the silent night.   He sees her visage in the fading gleam, A fleeting ghost within his shattered dream. Stolen by darkness, lost beyond the seam, A love eclipsed by shadows' cruel scheme.   No clash of steel nor victory's bright cheer, Just echoes of a love now distant, clear....
