Mirage

M.A.D. Works

Upon the desert’s golden seam,
Shimmers a distant, fleeting dream.
Beneath the sun’s relentless eye,
Hopes appear, then swiftly die.

Waves of heat curl in the air,
Promises vanish, thin as prayer.
Chasing shadows, hearts aspire,
Yearning for water, fueled by fire.

Illusions dance upon the sand,
Never quite within your hand.
A vision teases, slips away,
Leaving thirst at close of day.

Yet still we wander, undeterred,
By silent whispers barely heard.
For every mirage leads us on,
To find the truth when hope is gone.

Whispers of the Night

M.A.D. Works

The moonlight dances softly on the ground,
A gentle glow that pulses with sound,
Distant dreams float on velvet air,
In this quiet space, I find solace rare.

Stars twinkle like secrets, each one a tale,
Nature’s lullaby, soothing and pale,
So I’ll linger awhile ‘neath the watchful sky,
In the night’s beauty, my heart learns to fly.

Life’s Winding Road

M.A.D. Works

In life’s winding road, we seek acceptance,
Hoping for love and inner peace,
But faced with rejection, we feel the sting,
Leaving us disappointed, searching for release

Rising Through the Storm

M.A.D. Works

Fleeing will not help you,
Standing tall and pushing through is the way.
You need to own up to your mistakes and be true,
Taking responsibility is the first step,
Doing it now will not make things brew.
Admitting mistakes will help you grow,
Transforming your fears into lessons learned,
With each challenge faced, your courage will show.
Embrace the journey; it’s where wisdom is earned.

Echoes of Silence

M.A.D. Works

Flow of words are gone
Don’t know where they have gone to.
Need them to come back,
In silence, echoes of thought,
Whispers of the heart remain.

Whimsical Potato and Tomato Patch

M.A.D. Works

In a patch, a potato met a tomato,
Said the potato, “You red thing, you’re quite a hero!”
The tomato replied, “And you, my friend, are the best spud,
Together in this patch, we make the perfect dud!”

Poetry

Echoes of a Love Lost

M.A.D. Works


In love’s dance, we once soared so high,
But now it’s just whispers and sighs.
With memories so dear,
Yet sadness draws near,
A shadow where once dreams would fly.

A Smile 😊

M.A.D. Works

A smile takes less energy, they say
It has the power to brighten someone’s day.
Spreading joy and warmth in every way.
It can chase the clouds and bring out the rays.

Echoes of Absence

M.A.D. Works
Slip Away

Unknowingly, you slipped away.
What did I do wrong? What could I have done
to make you stay?
All I ever wanted was to feel needed and seen.
I thought I had that with you,
but I was wrong yet again.
Will I ever find that connection,
or is it a dream just out of reach?
In the silence, I search for answers,
wondering if love can be genuinely returned.
Will I always be left with echoes of absence,
lost in the longing for what might have been?

Broom’s Flirtation

M.A.D. Works

There once was a broom with a bristle
It tried to flirt with a brush and whistle
But the brush just sighed
And said with some pride
“I don’t sweep that way, dear broom, I’m not that fickle!”
