The Illusion of Tranquility


Silence is golden.
There’s nothing to worry about,
or at least,
that’s what you might think.

Poetry

Regret


Shadows of the past,
Ghosts whisper in quietude,
Choices linger on.

Poetry

Liquid Relief

Special thanks to my collaborator on this Rengay, Anthony, mylovexpressionsblog.wordpress.com


Cold refreshing drink.
what is needed on this day.
Sipping and cooling.
Effervescence my relief.
On hot Sunday afternoons.

Poetry

Complex is Love

Love is complex

It can bring happiness.

Or it can bring heartache

never knowing what it will bring

Take a leap and find out

No matter what, you are stronger than you think.

So keep going, even if it’s hard.

One day you’ll look back and smile,

Knowing you tried, and loved, and lived.

Poetry

Beats to her own Drummer

Special thanks to my collaborator on this Rengay, Anthony, mylovexpressionsblog.wordpress.com

Atypical girl.
No makeup needed for her.
Is never easy.
You must be true to yourself.
You are unique and special…

Poetry

Shattered Trust

I once trusted my brother so solemn and true,
But he took from me, and my trust he did eschew.
His sultry lies and sly deceit,
Left my heart heavy, my anger replete.

In shadows cast by his treacherous game,
I feel the sting of betrayal’s sharp flame.
Yet from the ashes of trust that he stole,
I gather my strength and reclaim my soul.

  • The letter arrived on a rainy Tuesday, and the only words inside were, “Whatever you do, don’t trust your best friend.”
Poetry

Horizon  

Out over the horizon,

The sun paints the sky with colors surprisin’.

Poetry

Amidst the Tempest

Rushing storm of thoughts,
Feelings flow like raging winds,
Nature’s fierce embrace.
Underneath the darkened skies,
Calm resides in chaos’ heart.

Poetry

The Melody of Solitude

A lonely bird flies high and looks around.
Performing a perfect melody,
All stop to hear such a lovely sound,
They were happy, such a remedy.
Its notes danced softly, wild and free,
For now, the bird was not lonely.
Embracing the joy of harmony.
With every note, it soared high and boldly.

Poetry

Pulsing Moments

My heart beats quickly, racing with each thump.
Emotions swirling in a warm embrace.
I feel alive in this moment’s glow.

Poetry

Battle Within

I battle with my thoughts on a daily basis,
A whirlwind of whispers in a quiet space.
Shadows of doubt dance in my mind,
Searching for clarity, hoping to find.

Yet in the chaos, a flicker of light,
Guides me through darkness, into the bright.
With each wave of struggle, I stand and I fight,
For peace in my heart—the true inner might.

Poetry

Echoes in the Rain

Beneath the silent rain, I hide my pain,
Each falling drop a memory I can’t restrain.

The restless wind whispers secrets of the past,
Echoing broken dreams, I thought would never last.

Your challenge for this week

* I wandered into the forest looking for my lost dog and stumbled upon a clearing where people’s forgotten dreams grew like flowers.

Poetry

Be You

In a world so bright,
You shine like a star,
But deep down I see,
You’re hiding who you are.

Behind a smile,
A story untold,
Yearning for truth,
A heart brave and bold.

So take off the mask,
Let your real self show,
For being yourself,
Is the best way to grow.
