So I sit here and reflect

M.A.D. Works
reflect

I sit here and reflect,
We used to be close,
Will we ever get that back?
Only time will tell, I suppose.

Memories linger like whispers in the air,
Laughter shared, secrets bare,
But distance grows with every day,
Will the path to you fade away?

I think of the moments, the dreams we spun,
The light-hearted jokes, the races we’d run.
Yet shadows creep in, doubt starts to swell,
In the silence between us, a story we can’t tell.

But hope lies dormant, waiting for its cue,
Like the dawn that breaks after the night’s dark hue.
Perhaps one day we’ll find our way,
And rediscover the bond that time can’t fray.

So I sit here and reflect,
With a heart full of wishes, a soul to connect,
For though life may twist like a winding road,
I’ll hold onto your memory, like a precious ode.

We all must be loved 

Sometime within all our lives 

In the very least.

Kindness and warmth we seek here

Embracing love we find peace

Sunsets Beauty Revealed

M.A.D. Works
Special thanks to my collaborator on this Rengay, Anthony, mylovexpressionsblog.wordpress.com

Day ends and night falls 

Twilight gives way to darkness

Hints of day are gone.

Painting beauty in the sky

A pure vision of perfection

Poetry

Tapestry

M.A.D. Works

Threads of color, woven tight,
Tell a story in the light.

Hands that labor, hearts that dream,
Stitch together every seam.

Patterns shifting, bold and new,
Old and ancient, woven through.

Every strand a tale to tell,
Of love and loss, remembered well.

Gold and scarlet, blue and green,
Blend in ways yet to be seen.

Each connection, strong and true,
Forms a world from what we do.

Step back, see the grand design,
Life and fate in threads entwine.

A tapestry of joy and pain,
Woven once, not made again.

” Go as far as you can see; when you get there, you’ll be able to see farther.” – Thomas Carlyle

Poetry

Unstoppable Dreamer

M.A.D. Works

In the darkest of nights, when the stars seem so far
I keep holding on, ’cause I know who you are
You’re a fighter, a believer, a dreamer like no other
With a fire deep inside, you were born to discover

When the road gets tough, and you’re feeling defeated
Just remember, you were made to be undefeated
There’s a power within you that can’t be denied
You’re an unstoppable force that won’t be denied

So don’t give up, don’t back down
You were born to wear the victor’s crown
Keep pushing harder, keep reaching higher
You’re a fearless warrior, an unstoppable dreamer

Poetry

Rising Above

M.A.D. Works

In crisis, we find our strength anew
Through danger and peril, we push through
With courage and resolve, we shall prevail
And emerge from the depths, stronger without fail.

Poetry

Beautiful Colours

M.A.D. Works

Bright color essence

My world is technicolor

Blues, reds, and yellows

Vivid hues paint my story

In every shade, I find glory

“First, forget inspiration. Habit is more dependable. Habit will sustain you whether you’re inspired or not. Habit will help you finish and polish your stories. Inspiration won’t. Habit is persistence in practice.” ―Octavia Butler

Poetry

Colony of Fun

M.A.D. Works

I’d love to partake
In a colony of fun
Where worries shrink
And laughter’s never done.

With friends gathered nearby,
Joy glimmers like the sun,
In every shared story,
Our spirits become one.

Colorful skies above,
We dance through the day,
With hearts light and free,
In this vibrant ballet.

As twilight approaches,
We gather ’round the fire,
With whispers of dreams,
And tales that inspire.

So, join me, my friend,
In this place we create,
A sanctuary of joy,
Where happiness awaits.

Blurry and Dark

M.A.D. Works

Suddenly, everything became blurry and dark,
A world once clear, now lost its spark.
Visions faded, like a misty dream,
Reality shattered at the seams.
