In shadows cast by time's relentless hand,
Where whispers of the past and future blend,
I tread a path few hearts can understand,
In solitude, where weary spirits mend.
...
A love so deep, the universe cannot contain,
In realms where stars and galaxies remain.
Beyond the stretch of time, in endless night,
It shimmers like the moon's eternal light.
...
In a world so vast and yet so solitary,
Where shadows stretch and echoes tarry,
Sometimes all we truly need, it seems,
Is one person to anchor our dreams.
...
In shadows cast by judgments, walk unshaken,
For whispers of others hold no claim on thee.
Be the wellspring where your joy awakens,
A lighthouse steadfast by your own decree.
...
In the quiet of twilight, when thoughts softly stray,
I find myself often in a curious delay.
The train of my musings, swift and free,
Embarks on its journey, sometimes without me.
...
In the quiet dawn, where shadows fade,
A warrior stands, with sword unmade,
Not on the fields where battles cry,
But in the heart, where secrets lie.
...
A sadness, deep, upon our shoulders pressed,
A weight that bends the spirit's lofty flight,
Debilitating, in our hearts confessed,
A shadow veiling every morning light.
...
In the garden of my heart, a bloom so rare,
The love of my life, a woman beyond compare.
She weaves the fabric of my dreams with care,
Her touch a whisper, her presence a prayer.
...
In a world where whispers often sting the soul,
Where judgments cloud the skies and thunder rolls,
They see your starts, the countless paths anew,
Yet fail to glimpse the strength that carries you.
...
In a world where riches gleam like gold,
True wealth is found in stories told.
Happiness is the treasure rare,
A jewel beyond compare.
...
In the hush of dawn, where shadows weave,
A silent seed, the earth does cleave.
No fanfare marks its tender rise,
Yet there it blooms beneath the skies.
...
In the quiet shadows of their minds, they dwell,
Where whispers of doubt cast a lingering spell.
Unseen chains forged in the heart of despair,
Believing no power, no strength to declare.
...
In life's fleeting dance, there are truths we must face,
Four things once set forth, leave no lingering trace.
The stone after the throw, in the ripples it makes,
No hand can retrieve what the water now takes.
...
In moments dark, when shadows fall,
And silence wraps its tender shawl,
No words are needed, none are sought,
For solace lies in simple thought.
...
Everything happens as it should, in every moment,
A dance of stars and whispered leaves,
Where time's eternal river flows,
And destiny its web, it weaves.
...
You cannot hide and expect to be seen,
Unveil your essence, let your soul glean.
Shed the masks, free body, mind, and soul,
Unravel the layers, reclaim your whole.
...
In shadows cast by sorrow's weight,
Where hearts are bruised and spirits ache,
Be sad, be frail, a tangled state,
Yet strive each dawn, anew to wake.
...
In the quiet whispers of the heart's deep night,
A symphony of sorrows finds its light.
To the soul that's been told its needs are too grand,
And the voice that's been hushed by a trembling hand.
...
Look at your body, a vessel of grace,
Those arms that enfold, a tender embrace,
Cradling love in their comforting hold,
A silent testament to stories untold.
...
In the tapestry of time, where dreams entwine,
Let your heart's desire be a beacon to shine.
Seek the joyous path, let laughter flow,
In the garden of delight, let your spirit grow.

Judge Not...
In shadows cast by time's relentless hand,
Where whispers of the past and future blend,
I tread a path few hearts can understand,
In solitude, where weary spirits mend.
Each step I take, a story yet untold,
Of battles waged in silence, wounds unseen,
In trials where the bravest souls unfold,
And dreams are tempered in the fiery sheen.
The weight of sorrow drapes my shoulders low,
A burden borne in darkness and in light,
Through storms that only fragile hearts can know,
And endless nights that blend with morning's fight.
Unless you've lived the life my soul has worn,
Or walked the path where unseen tears have bled,
Felt every scar, each moment sharply torn,
And witnessed what these weary eyes have read,
Judge not, for empathy demands a grace,
A gentle touch, a whisper of the kind,
To honour journeys carved in time and space,
And see the truth that lies in every mind.
For every soul's a vessel, deep and vast,
An ocean filled with joys and sorrows keen,
So tread with care, let judgments be the past,
And honour lives in all the shades between.
