Poetry

Birthday

In celebration of my birthday, I have created an acrostic poem.

Balloons and cakes all around,
In laughter and joy, friends are found.
Radiant smiles, the day feels right,
Time for wishes, a magical night.
Happy memories that we create,
Dreams celebrated, it’s never too late.
A special day just for you,
Years to cherish, and blessings too!

Poetry

Unstoppable Roar

In the quiet of the night, I hear a whisper,
A flicker of hope ignites my soul’s desire.
With every setback, my heart beats stronger,
Like a lion awakened, my spirit won’t tire.

Promises may falter, but I will rise,
With courage as my armor, I embrace the fight.
Each bruise a badge, a testament to my strength,
I find my voice, turning darkness to light.

I’ll roar like the thunder, fierce and alive,
No longer a shadow, I’m carving my way.
With dreams as my compass, I’m ready to soar,
Through the storms and the silence, I’ll seize the day.

So let the world listen, hear my song,
For every challenge faced, I’ll prove them wrong.
With passion in my heart and fire in my core,
I’ll stand tall and proud, and I’ll always roar.

Poetry

Embracing Serenity

Worry consumes like fog that’s here to stay,
Anxious thoughts entwined, they lead me astray.
Emotions run wild, like a storm on the sea,
Yet deep in my heart, peace whispers to me.

It wraps around troubles, a soft, gentle light,
Calming the chaos that dances at night.
Though shadows may linger and doubts may arise,
In the end, it’s serenity that opens my eyes.

So I’ll breathe in the calm, let go of the strife,
Embracing the stillness, reclaiming my life.
For although worry clings, it cannot control,
The tranquility found in a soothed, steady soul.

Poetry, Word of the Day

Can I ask a favor?

Can I ask a favor, if you please?
It’s really quite simple, my heart’s at ease.
Just be there for me, when times get tough,
Your presence alone can be more than enough.

When I feel lost, and shadows creep,
Hold out your hand, I’ll take a leap.
In moments of need, just stand by my side,
With you in my corner, I’ll take on the tide.

So here is my wish, from my heart it flows,
Can I ask a favor? It’s all that I chose.
Just be there for me, like the stars above,
In the times I need you, show me your love.

Poetry, Three Things Challenge

In Your Light

Your three words today are:
ALLOWED
ALOUD
ASTOUND

In the twilight where wonders weave,
I am allowed to be astounded, believe.
Your gestures dance like stars in the night,
A unique rhythm, pure delight.

With every glance, a story unfolds,
A tapestry of colors, bold yet untold.
In your presence, the mundane takes flight,
I am allowed to be astounded by your light.

Poetry

Yearning Unfulfilled

Promises made,
yet never fulfilled,
I find myself asking,
“Why do I still care?”
Is my yearning for love,
for acceptance,
so deep,
so desperate?

Poetry

Before Birthday Blues

In the quiet of twilight, a grey mood descends,
Monday’s my birthday, where joy feels like ends.
Once sparkled with laughter, now shadows infringe,
A clouded reflection, emotions on the fringe.

Yet deep in the silence, there’s comfort to find,
A moment of stillness, a chance to unwind.
For grey hues can soften the edges of light,
And maybe Monday, I’ll find my way bright.

Poetry

Moments of Light

On a day that felt so bleak,
With work troubles at their peak,
I found a friend to talk,
Together we would walk,
Making sadness feel less weak.
