Stranger, you taught me That some people care No condition Or strings attached You gave me hope Newly discovered I could be myself Without fear Stranger, you showed me Some people do dare To look gently Beneath the mask You gave me faith Absent awhile That from this facade I could peer ContinueContinue reading “Stranger”

You or me
I see you there, lost and alone Or perhaps not, perhaps You are fine and this is my mind, Playing tricks, seeing in your face A reflection of my pain, This place of empty hurt I see you there, and I want To take your hand, to reassure you That life will treat youContinueContinue reading “You or me”
Fallen
You tried your very best, but Somehow it was not enough In those minutes, those hours When you had your chance to shine, It falls apart, it comes to pieces And dreams now hang, on the line. All that time spent chasing stars, Eyes set on the future you Abandoned the present and Now,ContinueContinue reading “Fallen”
Anxiety

Winter Roses
Then came violent winds, tearing away the delicate petals of innocent roses, precious limbs torn from their body. You stare speechless at the sight that remains, at the thorny echo of beauty, hollow shell of ravished time. Nothing but a prickly stem is left to tell, a forgotten story of hopeless love, abandonedContinueContinue reading “Winter Roses”
Away
In the light of shady day…
Tell me
Tell me where does the moon go,
Why does she sometimes hide her face?
Silver beauty, heart’s delight,
Hiding in shadows, oft she’s missed.
