Poems

Shackles of Silence: A Dual Perspective

Raised to be humble, quiet, and small, Taught to be strong, never to fall. To serve and to please, to never defy, To wield iron fists, to never cry. Her worth is in grace, her voice but a whisper, His power in rage, emotions a fissure. Love is obedience, love is pain, Love is possession, a storm to sustain. Endure the beating, for he loves her still, Dominate, dictate, bend her to will.

A Surrogate for the Warmth I Sought

They told me it was just one drink, But that drink took another drink, and soon I became the drink, swirling and deep, Lost in its amber allure, a silent swoon. One sip, a bridge to fleeting connection, But the drink craved more, a deeper affection, A surrogate for the warmth I sought, In a world where emptiness fought. Each sip, a whisper, a fleeting escape, From the ache of a world too sharp, too bright.

Let Ye Emotions Flow

In the quiet of the night, beneath the moon’s soft glow, Even those of sterner mold can let their emotions flow. For strength is not in silence, nor in walls built tall, But in the willingness to feel, to rise after a fall. They carry burdens heavy, hidden beneath their guise, Yet within their hearts, the truth never truly dies. For tears are not a weakness, but a testament to grace,

Spiritual Sisterhood: Beyond Blood

I don’t call you my sister for our shared blood’s flow, But for the understanding that between us does grow. In the silent whispers and the unspoken bond, In the depths of empathy, our connection is fond. Through trials and triumphs, hand in hand we stride, In the moments of darkness, you’re my beacon, my guide. With a glance, you decipher the words left unsaid, In your presence, I find solace, where my soul is fed.

Society's Blind Eye

In shadows cast by judgement’s cold embrace, A survivor’s tale, a heart in shattered grace. Through trauma’s grip, she walks a crushing load. In the courtroom’s echo, justice remains blind, Her voice unheard, lost in the legal grind. Yet, she persists, through the darkened night, A silent struggle, a resilient fight. Society’s whispers, a cruel, accusing tone, Blaming attire, as if guilt can be known. Yet strength emerges from the depths

Whispers of the Wild: A Ode to Nature

In meadows green, where wildflowers dance, Beneath the sun’s warm, golden glance, The whispering trees, their leaves a flutter, Tell tales of time, in every flutter. The babbling brook, with it’s gentle song, Winds it’s way, serene and strong, Through valleys deep and mountains high, Nature’s symphon, reaching the sky. On wings of birds, in graceful flight, Painting the heavens with colors bright, The harmony of earth and sky, In every creature, life does lie.

Untitled

In a world of colors, unique and bright, Autism’s prism casts its radiant light. Each soul, a puzzle, a complex design, A tapestry woven, one of a kind. In the realm of patterns, they find their way, Infinite shades of night and day. Their minds, a canvas of endless art, A masterpiece, waiting to impart. Through different eyes, they view our sphere, A perspective profound, crystal clear. In the symphony of senses, they find their song,

Ode to Friendship - dedicated to you

For the one who showed me love. To the one who makes my world so bright, In your love, I find my guiding light. Through all life’s storms, you’re my sturdy tree, My source of joy and endless glee. Your smile, a sunbeam on my darkest day, In your arms, all my worries melt away. With you, my love, I’ve found my home, In your embrace, I’ll never roam. You lift me up when I am down,

'You Got To Eat Something Made With Love & Joy' - Dot | The Cure

In shadows’ grasp, where sunlight seldom gleams, Two silent foes arise, as in a dream. Depression, heavy anchor of the soul, Anxiety, a tempest taking toll. Depression, like a weight upon the chest, A cloak of darkness, robbing all that’s best. It whispers lies, of hope forever lost, As joy and peace it tirelessly exhausts. Anxiety, a ceaseless, racing mind, A storm that’s hard to leave, impossible to bind. It paints the future in uncertain hues,

Veiled Whisper of Love - A love poem

❣️ In Shadows Cast, She holds her breath, Bound to love, She fights with death. In doubts, she dances, lost in fear, Unsure if his love’s truly near. 🖤 With every touch, she seeks a sign, In whispered words, a tangled line. Does he love her? She can’t decode, In toxic webs, their hearts erode. 😰 Yet still she stays, in hope’s embrace, Caught in love’s elusive chase. In shadows deep, her heart entwined,
