Poem 001

In every shadow, there’s a tale,

Of broken hearts and winds that wail.

A truth that hides behind the veil,

A legend old, too dark to hail.


Its whispers haunt the silent night,

A dance of fear, a glimpse of fright.

Yet none will speak what’s never seen,

A story dark, and still, and keen.

Poem 030

Her fears arrived like wolves beyond the door,

And circled through her thoughts as once before,

She watched them howl beneath the silver moon,

Then chose her own direction, steady, soon.


No longer prey to every hungry cry,

She raised her gaze and met the midnight sky,

The wolves could follow footprints in the snow,

But she alone decided where to go.

Poem 025

A frozen window catches threads of white,

Drawn by an unseen hand throughout the night,

Each branch appears, then slowly disappears,

A fleeting kingdom made of frozen tears,

Too delicate to last for many years.


No seed was buried underneath the floor,

No careful gardener opened up a door,

Yet beauty found a place to take its form,

And held its ground against the winter storm,

As though the cold itself could keep it warm.


Perhaps the things we hide are made this way,

They need the quiet shelter of the gray,

They gather strength beyond the public eye,

And only bloom when noise has passed us by,

Then fade before the world can ask us why.

Poem 022

He carried a picture from years ago,

Of who he would be and the life he would know,

But time drew new lines on the face of his plan,

And turned the boy's vision to something more grand.


He kept not the picture, but kept its bright flame,

Though every small detail had shifted its frame,

And standing beneath all the dreams he had spun,

He smiled at the person he finally had become.
