The Space Between Between hope and certainty stretches a quiet sea,Where dreams wear fragile wings and drift uncertainly.The horizon glimmers with a promise not yet known,A path of whispered maybes where courage walks alone.Hope plants its tender lantern in the gathering night,While certainty waits distant, clothed in steady light.Each step becomes a question the heart…

Love Keeps Calling Love keeps calling,I keep running,afraid its lightwill show me something.I hear its voicebehind each door,soft as rain,then wanting more.I hide my heart,but it keeps falling.I keep running—love keeps calling.Simona A.

The Sorrow in My Heart The sorrow in my heart is deep,I feel it in the palms of my hands,It follows me even in sleep,And settles where my spirit stands.It lingers in the soles of my feet,Like dust from roads I had to roam,A grief both bitter and complete,Still searching for a place called home.My…

Daddy say it low like thunder rollin’ through the kitchen air,“Girl, that ain’t no man—just wind in britches, nothin’ there.”I hear him by the sink, water tappin’ like a tired song,Talkin’ ‘bout a man who always right but always wrong.“Wind in Britches,” Daddy spit, eyes fixed on the floor,“Blow in with a promise, then he…

Empty Breaths and Hollow Lies She learns him first in broken air,In pauses that pretend to care.His words arrive but never stay,Like smoke that cannot find its way.He speaks in almost-truths at night,Soft enough to sound like light.But when she reaches for his name,It slips away and feels the same.She memorizes what he won’t say,The…

Thief of Joy Comparison whispers, stealing light,Turning day into restless night.It counts another’s gold as proof,While missing all your own roof.It paints their world in perfect hue,Then fades the colors right from you.It measures life by treasure’s pace,And leaves you lost in endless chase.So guard your heart, refuse its ploy—For envy is the thief of…

Ghost in the Fog In the hush where morning lingers,A pale spirit parts the mist,Silent as an ancient secret,Soft as winter on the wrist.Eyes like weathered moons are watching,Calm beneath the silver sky,Holding storms it never speaks of,Letting passing shadows die.Ghost-white mane in quiet motion,Breath dissolving into air,A lonely king of fog and stillness,Wrapped in…

Where Love Goes Love doesn’t leave all at once.It loosens first—a thread pulled from a seamyou didn’t know was holding everything together.It settles into ordinary places:the quiet side of the bed,the mug you stop reaching for,the space between sentenceswhere something used to answer back.It lingers in the body,a muscle that remembershow to reach without thinking,how…

Dissonance He wakes to sunlight tasting wrong,a sweetness cut with metal bright,the clock ticks loud but time feels bent,each second stretching out of sight.His smile fits like borrowed clothes,warm at first, then tight with seams,his laughter cracks in brittle notesthat splinter softly through his dreams.He moves through rooms that buzz and hum,air thick as wool…

Neon Red My crush comes flashing neon red,a stoplight pulse inside my head.It hums beneath my quiet skin,a siren song I’m pulled right in.I try to cool it down to blue,pretend I feel what others do,but every thought ignites instead,my heart lit up in neon red.It glows too loud, it won’t behave,a reckless color I…
