Let it be. Let me be me. Nothing new.




 In the cloak of the moonless night, I tread the solitary street,

Where shadows dance and whispers speak, where darkness and doubt may meet.

Yet amidst the quietude, a glimmer soft and low,

A beacon of hope that whispers, "Let your true self show."


O why can't you be you and I be me?

In this world where masks are worn so free,

Let us shed our disguise, let the truth be told,

Embrace it and let it flow, let our hearts be bold.


With each step, I take toward my door,

I feel the weight of expectations galore.

The masks I've worn, the faces old,

But tonight, I'll cast them aside, I'll be more.


The stars above, though few and faint,

Guide me through the murky paint.

Their light within, my spirit stirs,

A freedom song, an inner flame that burns.



O why can't you be you and I be me?

In this dance of life, why can't we be free?

To live without the fear of scorn,

Embrace it and let it be reborn.


The breeze, it carries secrets on its wings,

Of hearts that long to sing and fly.

I'll let it weave through me and through me,

Till I am just what I am, and nothing new.

10 Reasons why I hate dating

10 Reasons Why I Hate Dating In the modern masquerade of love and romance, Where hearts and swipes dance in a digital silence, I find myself adrift in a sea of strange glances, Where dating is a dance with no clear sense of balance. 1. The high of connection, so fleeting and thin, Crashes down with the spotlight on a single sin. A flaw, so minuscule, yet it shatters the mirage, Leaving me in doubt, in the shadow of the barrage. 2. Pockets weigh heavier than the weight of our chat, Dinners and movies, oh the costly rat-a-tat. The price of companionship, a tax so unkind, When all I seek is a soul to unwind. 3. Jealous whispers echo through the night air, While I stand, a statue, not allowed a care. For in this game of hearts, it seems so one-sided, My own feelings, unwelcome, and often derided. 4. The quest for a partner, a quest so untrue, When all I wish is for a bond that's not new, To simply be me, without the façade's reign, But instead, I'm nudged to play the part of th...

Whispers of the willow's plight

 Whispers of the willow's plight Where whispers of the willow's plight Meet the soft caress of a gentle breeze, Lives a tale of love's most curious keys. A girl, whose eyes reflect the stars, Finds joy not in the mirth or the bars, But in a dance of passion's might, Where the line of pleasure meets the fight. The pain, a mere instrument, a tool, For her soul to break the cruelest rule, Not the pain itself that makes her swoon, But the power she takes back so soon. With every lash, a silent cry, His control, she lets him tie, But what truly makes her pulse race, Is the trust she's found in his embrace. He wields the whip, so strong and firm, Yet in her heart, it's her soul's turn, To conquer fears, to make them flee, In his power, she finds her liberty. Her body, a canvas of his art, Where love and pain together start, A symphony of desire's tune, Her life's goal is to be immune. To the pain that once had her cowed, Now it's a language she's a...

No second chance poem.

 No second chance poem.  He'd whisper sweet nothings, a silver tongue, Yet underneath, a heart so wrong, He'd lie and cheat, and never belong, To the world of the decent and the young. One strikes you are out, my dear, Your key to my heart, no longer here, In the game of love, you did steer Wayward paths of deceit and fear. One strikes you are out, no second cheer, Our chapter ends, let the curtains clear. With eyes so blue, a gaze so kind, He promised love, a heart to mend, But the devil's in the details, you'll find, When the darkness does ascend. He danced in the moonlit night, A masquerade of pure delight, Yet his soul was cloaked in spite, And the truth was a treasure, not meant. I gave him trust, a precious stone, But he cast it aside, thrown, For the thrill of deceit alone, Leaving my heart to atone. He knew not of the pain he'd bring, As he sang his siren's song, In the dance hall of the scorned and the wrung, Where the innocent do belong. But I am not o...
