In Love with Writing I once forgot the joy of words, Their rhythm soft, like songbirds' chords, I let the ink run dry and still, Lost in the noise of life's quick thrill. But then, one day, a spark arose, A gentle whisper, quiet prose. I picked up the pen, and found the grace, Of … Continue reading Poem: In Love with Writing

Poem: I Can’t Leave Poetry Behind
I can't leave poetry behind, It haunts the chambers of my mind. Each word, a seed that dares to grow, In fields where silent rivers flow. The rhythm calls, a sacred beat, A dance where heart and spirit meet. Its whispers thread through every sigh, A map of stars across the sky. How can I … Continue reading Poem: I Can’t Leave Poetry Behind
Poem: Getting it Together
Getting it together, one step at a time, Piece by piece, like a rhythm, a rhyme. The world spins on, and so do we, Seeking the puzzle’s final decree. The chaos swirls, the thoughts collide, But we find the center, where we can reside. Through tangled paths and endless lanes, We hold the reins, despite … Continue reading Poem: Getting it Together
Poem: Life is Too Short
Life is too short, they often say, To linger in shadows, to waste away. The days slip by, like sand through hands, Time is fleeting, like shifting sands. Dreams that we chase, with all our might, Can fade in the dark, or blaze in the light. So why hold back, or hesitate? The clock … Continue reading Poem: Life is Too Short

Poem: Heart of a Husky
A Dachshund with the heart of a Husky, Short in the legs, but bold and plucky, With eyes that gleam like winter’s frost, A little body, but a spirit not lost. Through fields of snow, he dreams to run, Beneath the moon, beneath the sun. His tail is small, but it wags with pride, … Continue reading Poem: Heart of a Husky
Poem: The Sound of Emptiness
The Sound of Emptiness In the quiet, still and deep, Where shadows fall and secrets sleep, A hollow breath, a whispered sigh, The sound of emptiness drifts by. It isn't loud, nor sharp, nor clear, But a presence felt when none are near, A space between the heartbeats' trace, Where silence echoes in empty space. … Continue reading Poem: The Sound of Emptiness
Poem: A Bridge to the Stars
A Bridge to the Stars A silver thread in midnight’s sky, A gleam of hope that wanders by, A bridge of dreams, so soft, so far, Stretching out to each distant star. It whispers secrets, faint but clear, Of distant lands, we long to steer, Through endless nights, through endless time, The stars become a … Continue reading Poem: A Bridge to the Stars
