Gentle breezes blow
As the darkness hugs us all
As the day falls down
Moonlit sky above it all
Whispers of the night so tall

Nightfall

Cloak of Night
In the quiet cloak of night, shadows play,
Whispering secrets through the moonlit trees,
They dance like phantoms, drifting far away,
A mystery wrapped in the evening breeze.
With every flicker, the dark begins to sway,
A silent witness to dreams that never cease,
In their embrace, we find a gentle peace,
Lost in the twilight, where worries find release.
Where is…
Where is harmony
When it is needed the most
Gone like all we knew
Brief Moment
For a brief moment in time, I believed in you.
Now I see the truth—
I was only a tool
for getting what you wanted.
You played me for a fool.
Glasses, a Sharper Point of View
Glasses assist me
To see the world around me
It’s a great blur, yes
But with them, I see just fine
Enhancing my view to life

The Sailed Ship
That ship has sailed long ago
Never to return
Its wake still shivers through the water,
a quiet ache I pretend not to feel.
Some departures don’t announce themselves –
they simply drift past the horizon,
leaving you with the echo
of everything you never said.
Error of Your Ways
Do you see the error of your ways,
the trail of broken promises you leave behind—
a map of moments you never meant to honor,
a truth you never had the courage to face.
The Cat Wore Socks
The cat wore socks, the dog wore a tie,
My breakfast cereal started to fly.
The goldfish sang opera (not at all normal),
My morning routine felt truly abnormal.
I looked in the mirror, shrugged with a grin—
Maybe the weirdness just comes from within!
Power of True Friendship
True friends have the power to heal even the deepest wounds & mend broken hearts.
Where Beauty Rests
Blooms all around me,
such quiet beauty—
a gift for all to see.
Gathered
We gathered around,
celebrating all that’s good,
letting gratitude rise
like steam from warm cups,
softening the edges
of a long, worn day.
Scandalous
So scandalous, the way
you toss your laughter in the air,
letting rumors trip over themselves
trying to keep up
with your shine.
Square
Sides all equal to one another
Quadrilaterals that include squares.
Unchanging in shape,
Always precise,
Right‑angled and steady,
Even on every side.
Solution
Seeking a solution
to the impossible,
I learn to breathe
inside unanswered questions,
trusting that even uncertainty
can be a kind of direction.
Coupon
Clipping to save money, not time
Over‑priced items causing a money shortage
Under‑paid individuals struggling
Pinching pennies like it’s a competitive sport
Only to watch prices jump again tomorrow
Not that anyone raising them seems concerned
