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 knows romance is not just a start,

But a promise written deeply in the heart.

!!!

I want a love that grows after “I do,”

A love that becomes stronger and new.

Not just flowers, gifts, and sweet words spoken,

But a bond that stays when hearts feel broken.

!!!

I hope you listen when I have no words,

Hold me close when my world feels blurred.

I hope you fight for us, not against me,

And together we become what love should be.

!!!

And I promise, wherever you are,

I’m becoming someone worthy of your heart.

I’ll be your peace after a tiring day,

Your safe place when the world feels grey.

!!!

Still, sometimes I wonder in the quiet rain,

Will forever be real or just a dream in my brain?

Will promises last when life gets hard?

Will two hearts protect what they once started?

!!!

But deep inside, I still believe,

Somewhere there is a love meant for me.

A love not perfect, but honest and true,

A love where I choose you, and you choose me too.

!!!

So tonight, as the rain falls slow,

I whisper a wish to the world below:

“Wherever you are, grow with grace.

One day I hope I’ll find your face.

Become the man my heart dreams of,

And I’ll become your forever love.”

!!!

Because true romance is not something gone,

It lives in the hearts that keep holding on.

This is not a fairy tale 

But two souls who choose,

Every single day,

To protect, respect, and grow their love.

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 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...

The Light We Carry

-
Image
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 Refining Fire

  The Refining Fire ~~***~~~~***~~ I entered this world with an open, bare hand, A stranger arriving in a transient land. Yet I grasped at the trophies, the praise, and the gold, Forgetting I borrowed what I never could hold. ~~***~~ I built up my kingdoms, I argued, I fought, Chasing brief illusions that the daylight had caught. But the clock never pauses, my hour will chime, To strip all my attachments from the hands of time. ~~***~~ Death is no shadow, no thief in my night, But my mystical guide walking into the light. The quiet companion who stays by my side, To show me the ocean beyond this brief tide. ~~***~~ My wealth will divide, and my arguments cease, As I shed all my armor and step into peace. My memories will fade like the mist on a stream, As I, the deep dreamer, awake from the dream. ~~***~~ For life was the forge where my spirit had to go, To learn from the friction, the sorrow, the blow. Like iron once plunged in the heat of the pyre, I am being made sharp by the re...

The Filament's Question

-
Image
  I rose from failure's thousand broken hands, A dream pursued through years of patient plans. Before my birth, countless attempts had died, Yet from their ashes came the light inside. **** Is that not how a human life begins? Built from old hopes, defeats, and silent wins? A child arrives, yet hidden in that breath Are generations wrestling life and death. **** A slender filament became my heart, A fragile thread assigned a brilliant part. Argon filled my lungs with unseen grace, And living current moved through all my space. **** What is the current flowing through your soul? What unseen force compels your journey's goal? Who placed the spark within your fragile frame, And taught your darkness how to kindle flame? **** For years I stood where village pathways turned, And city avenues with movement burned. I lit the roads where weary travelers passed, Each step uncertain, none designed to last. **** Like people walking through the years of time, Climbing through joy and stumbl...

The Monsoon Frog

  The Monsoon Frog ~~:::::::::::::::::::::::::::::~~ After the long and merciless summer, when the fields lay thirsty and the river dwindled into a narrow ribbon, we waited for the monsoon with the patience of farmers watching the horizon. ~~::::::~~ The sun ruled those days without mercy. Our few shirts and trousers hung on a rope, fluttering in the scorching wind. By noon they were stiff and dry, baked by the fire of summer. ~~::::::~~ The whole village knew our poverty. Some saw our worn clothes, yet few could see the hidden wounds- the tears swallowed in silence, the hunger burning in the belly, the worries smouldering in the mind. ~~::::::~~ But childhood had its own wisdom. We carried our sorrows lightly, tucking them away among games and laughter. ~~::::::~~ Then one afternoon, dark clouds gathered above the coconut groves, and rain burst upon the earth. The scent of wet soil rose from the ground- an old song returning after years of silence. ~~::::::~~ I ran with my friends...

The Road Beyond Shadows

  The Road Beyond Shadows *** ~~***~~*** ~~*** ~~***  Shadows may wander and drift away, Yet one companion is bound to stay- Silent, patient, beyond all claim, Death remembers each of our names. ~~***~~ He comes not early, nor lingers near, But arrives in the hour both solemn and clear; A mystic guide with an unseen hand, Leading us toward an unknown land. ~~***~~ Once upon his chariot we ride, Past memory's shores and time's fading tide, The stories we carried, the joys and the pain, Dissolve like mist in a gentle rain. ~~***~~ We entered this world with empty hands, And leave the same, as destiny commands; No treasure follows, no title remains, Only the soul beyond earthly chains. ~~***~~ Time has tethered life with cords unseen, Woven from deeds and all that has been; Yet why do we quarrel, why strive and contend, When every journey approaches its end? ~~***~~ The wealth we gathered, the things we adored, Are measured and shared by those left ashore; What once seemed lastin...

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...

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 ...
