Is it all a game of cards,

Or just this moment in time?

It’s so hard to move forward

Without crossing some thin line.

Everything must fall in order,

Slotted into just one place—

Matching one after the other,

A quiet game of grace.

At times the board lies frozen still,

No moves to make, no signs to trust.

But one small shift, one quiet will,

Can stir the cards from dust.

No longer solitary, no l...

Unhealthy

Dark thoughts

Out of control

The mind in turmoil

Unable to reason with self

Thoughts and images taking up space

Irrational words echoing and bouncing all around

Stop this unhealthy out of control madness please....

Pausing to reflect on the life we paired,

A fragile bond that we once shared.

Fun was had but so much hurt,

A bittersweet combination, a delicate flirt.

I thought the right thing for me to do,

Was to spend the rest of my life with you.

I thought I knew you inside and out,

Slowly I learned what that was all about.

In the shadow of my hearts darkest hall,

I realised that I never really knew you...

Midnight has struck and a new year is here

A time for reflection the shedding of tears

A chance to follow thoughts deep in the heart

A time to embark on that brand new start

Yet

In the shadows of night where dreams are met

A whisper resides, a promise unkept

Words unspoken and feelings repressed

Time to let go and test the best

Yet

Shows a path that’s still to come

A whole new journey left to...

When the darkness flees and the night recedes

The first light of day gently leads

A golden glow begins to rise

Dissolving mist beneath soft skies

While the morning air is crisp and clean

I stand entranced by this tranquil scene

The scent of wet earth fills the air

A gentle breeze plays through my hair.

The sun slips free from clouds of grey,

Chasing the moon’s soft glow away.

It climbs the sk...

**With the night comes darkness but also stars**

**Close your eyes:is it dark or black?**

Both hold scars like the battle of wars,

**Do they lead forward, or pull you back?**

**All those millions of stars **

They pulse like blessings unseen

**All those millions of scars **

They haunt where innocence has been.

**Soon the day is dark too**

**Only difference? No stars. **

Step back, take a clearer ...

When the sun has set for me,

Don’t cry—for my soul is free.

Learn to love me in a different way;

Even in absence, I’m here to stay.

Though out of view, I haven’t gone;

Love lingers—it lives on and on.

I’ve simply retired from your sight,

Yet my presence fills the day and night.

Close your eyes and feel the breeze;

I’m in the whispering of the trees.

In the moon’s soft glow, its tender light,

I’m...

**There are scars on my heart**

****

**That time cannot unweave.**

**Once, I shaped each part,**

**Thread by thread, I believed.**

****

****

** I wove a pattern, delicate and true—**

**But it unraveled.**

**Why did it come undone, too soon?**

**On this lonely road I’ve traveled.**

****

** What was the purpose?**

**For these scars that mark my heart.**

**Left abandoned at the circus**

**Of promises...

“May I?”He murmured sweetly

Maybe so, I replied jokingly meekly

Mother will be watching, busy as ever

Making herself look bustling and clever

Man up, I teased and don’t be a sissy

Mother’s kind, but fathers tricky

Mind his size and move with care

Meet his eyes? Best beware

Marshmallow he is not be quick

Mean and fierce he won’t miss a trick

Make it fast if it’s a kiss you’re after

Mark my words...

The true nature, hidden behind a facade

Lured in by a convincing act of fraud

Beneath the surface

Self worth had faded

Controlled by affection, manipulated

It was a battle of survival

Tumbling like a leaf in a storm down a spiral

No empathy-no mistake

A deliberate act, no kindness fake

You were not loved

You were used.

Used discarded pulled apart

An empty shell a hollow heart

But the truth...
