Met like stars that missed the dawn,
Yet in your eyes, my pain was drawn.
A mirrored ache, a silent scream,
As if we shared the same old dream.
...
My mind is a cavern where shadows reside,
Thoughts twist and tangle, no place to hide.
Whispers of worry in rhythms they chant,
Echoes of chaos that logic can't grant.
...
I feel nothing but the poison of your hate
You have always been an empty soul
Spitting on joy because you never tasted it
You built a life where happiness was a weakness
...
I speak without a voice these days,
My silence soaked in quiet screams.
I love in ways you'll never see
Through broken hopes and faded dreams.
...
Why does it turn into an argument
Each time we ask each other to grow?
Why does correction arrive wearing anger,
As if being reminded is the same as being attacked?
...
I write poetry about resilience, pain, and the quiet strength that lives within us all. My words explore the beauty that can emerge from life's storms, the courage found in heartbreak, and the light that follows even the darkest nights. Through each poem, I hope to honor the human spirit and inspire those who walk their own paths of struggle and growth.)
Kindred Flame
Met like stars that missed the dawn,
Yet in your eyes, my pain was drawn.
A mirrored ache, a silent scream,
As if we shared the same old dream.
Your hands create what words can't say,
With strokes and shades that don't betray
A heart so fierce, yet soft and wild,
A Leo's fire, the universe's child.
In moments brief, you pulled me near,
Unraveled years of silent fear.
How strange it feels, how right, how true
A stranger, yet the soul knew you.

Life becomes breathtaking the moment you stop rushing through it and start living it with intention, when you learn to feel deeply appreciate the ordinary, and find joy not in having more, but in truly being present.
