SHATTERED HEART THIEF My heart was scattered To and fro But to you It didn’t matter You could have cared less So, I picked up the mess One shard at a time Some pieces so small and fine That I thought I’d go blind Or lose my mind During my desperate search Like a bird,…

HOW DO I LOVE THEE? How do I love thee, let me count the ways.I love thee:In every dawn that breaks with golden hue, In whispered winds that through the meadows sway,In every moment spent with thoughts of you.I love thee with the laughter of the day, With every tear that falls like morning dew,…

CRIMSON BLOOM Amid a bed of crimson blooms, in a world ablaze with vibrant hues,Lies an alligator, laced in green, where scarlet petals gently swoon.With obsidian eyes, she basks in the sun’s warm embrace,A silent guardian in this verdant place.Her scales shimmer with a subtle sheen, as if kissed by morning dew,A testament to the…

ETERNAL COVENANT Arched in the sky, a bow of light,A promise etched in hues so bright.Genesis whispers, ancient tale,Of floodwaters past and God’s prevail.A sign of peace, a covenant made,Between earth and heaven, never to fade.God’s pledge in colors vivid, bold,A story of mercy forever told.Yet man, with curious mind and heart,Assigns new meanings, tears…

IN THE MEADOW In the heart of the meadow, where wildflowers bloom,A tapestry of colors, dispels all gloom.Golden sunlight dances, through swaying grass,Whispering secrets, as the gentle winds pass.Butterflies flutter, in a graceful ballet,Their delicate wings, carry dreams away.Bees hum softly, as they gather their treasure,In this sanctuary, where moments find leisure.Birds sing melodies, in…

SEA HAVEN In depths where sunbeams gently play,A fish finds solace in the sway,Of sea anemone’s gentle dance,A haven found in its expanse.Amongst the tendrils, safe and still,A silent guardian, a secret thrill,In hues of coral, vibrant and bright,The fish finds refuge from the light.With cautious grace, it darts and weaves,Amongst the shadows, where safety…
