Smiles for the Camera Perfect smiles align,faces bright and posed,Mom’s eyes gleam wide,all her beauty shows.Children stand in line,stiff and feeling small,captured moments lie,love seems spread to all.Behind the polished frame,cracks begin to show,Mom’s praise is cold,only for the show.The lens can’t catch,hearts under strain,smiles hide the truth,wrapped in silent pain. Meaning This poem contrasts…
Conversations Unspoken Words, just beyond reach,hang in quiet suspension.Her eyes, pools of untold stories,my lips, a dam unwilling to break.Gaps filled with echoes of might-have-beens,silences heavy as unsaid sorrows.Each look, a question unasked,every pause, an answer unheard.Between us, the air holds secrets,thick with the weight of omitted truths.Unshared thoughts, like shadows,stretch longer with the fading…
Petals and Shadows In bloom, life whispers loud, Colors bright, heads bowed. Death, in quiet tread, Casts shadows, petals shed. Life’s dance, a fleeting spell, Flowers rise, in time, they dwell. Fallen petals, earth’s embrace, Cycle turns, a silent grace. Beneath the moon’s soft gaze, End and start, in endless phase. Petals and shadows, side…
In shadows’ embrace, Quiet watchers thrive, Seeing worlds unfold, Where the silent jive. Amidst the loud, Their thoughts run deep, In solitude’s shroud, Rich secrets they keep. Eyes wide, hearts open, Finding joy in the unseen, In whispers unspoken, Lies a realm serene. From the edge, they glean, Life’s hidden tales, In the quiet, they…
In the garden of life, where dreams are sown, A seed of hope in the earth is thrown. Beneath the soil, it quietly sleeps, In the warmth of faith, it slowly creeps. Through the cracks of despair, it finds its way, Greeting the sun, embracing the day. A sprout of green in the barren land,…
Beyond the hills, where trees whisper secrets old, A wall of stones, weathered, mossy, and cold. Each spring, we meet, neighbors, side by side, To mend the breaches where the stones have died. Mending Wall, an ode to boundaries unseen, Where nature’s hand and human efforts lean. Not just of stone, but of belief and…
In a world where paths diverge in a wood so deep, Two roads beckoned to me, in whispers soft and steep. One, worn by many feet, through fields of golden grain, The other, cloaked in mystery, where shadows dance and reign. Two Roads, a journey’s tale, where choices define our fate, A metaphor for life,…
Beneath the cloak of night so bold, Across the realms where tales are told, Far over the misty mountains cold, In lands of legends, old and gold. Where echoes dance in hollow halls, And shadows shift on ancient walls, There lies a path for those who dare, Through mist and myth, through frosty air. The…
Cold Heart In realms where warmth should dwell and foster life, A heart resides, encased in frost and strife. No season’s chill, no winter’s icy hand, Just barren lands where emotions stand, Frozen in time, untouched by sun’s embrace, A cold heart beats in a secluded space. Silent Whispers Within its walls, silent whispers echo,…
Frostbound Solitude In the realm where frost does cling, To the chambers deep and stark, Lies a heart that ceased to sing, Embraced by shadows, cold and dark. Its beats, a silent, mournful dirge, In echoes lost, through halls of ice, Where whispers of the past emerge, And warmth is but a vanished spice. No…
