One night, one tale, I'll write so true, With every word, I'll pen down you. A moon so bright, a gentle breeze, Your hand in mine, a moment to freeze. In real life, we may never meet, But in my book, our hearts will greet. In my story, all’s my way, I'll turn the night when you dream in day. Why you weren’t...

The war stains my eyes, Of unheard screams. So loud that I think, My eardrums will bleed. I'm centered on ground. The dirt beneath my feet, The crumbling society. And the guns taking my seat. My wife is dearly missed, Dead or Alive. If I see her again, They say "I won't thrive". A man is a man, And a gun is a gun, Be one, which one? Does it...

A love so strong, like no other— a rainbow of colours, so divine. Its beauty never fades with time. A love as real as my beating heart, a promise of another tomorrow glowing in the distance. Never fade. Your memory imprinted within me, cherished, everlasting— never fade. Gloriously, reminding me that you are a part of me, as real as the beauty of the trees, the grass, the ripples in the water, the sounds of the birds, their...

You shine so bright, a beacon of hope, A radiant beauty, my soul's eternal scope. Supportive and loving, through all life's strife, My partner, my friend, my forever wife.

In my absence, home remains warm and...

Summer dreams sleep at the cusp of a cool November I am filled with hopes that at the font of my soul, tremble like autumn leaves when the wind blows they toss and sway like sweet October rain, each raindrop falls but doesn't stay I remember red poppies, springing out of the ground in a...

I was down the ladder, I was negligent in working harder, I couldn’t read and spell well, It was a menacing hell. I ranked fourth from the bottom in the end-of-session examination, This was a result of my weak educational foundation, My parents were extremely disappointed in me, It was a sail across a turbulent sea. It was a summer away from the...

Bow down To the 13 bullets you were given, Now load your machines Now now One foot before the other, Don't stray from the way, no end to the means Heads down, As you walk through all of it, Might just as well be at one with the team Jump jump The in bandwagons rolling Keep your eyes closed for the routine Pound for pound Paid in flesh,...

Ten. Ten years, I've been scared, fearing the phone's ring. Twenty. Twenty years, I was, learning how goodbye really felt. Thirty. Thirty years, I reached, forty-four days ago. Forty. Forty, my brother was, for fifty-seven days. That's all he got... and that feels like all for me. I'm terrified, I'll admit. Every knock on the door, every surprise text or call, every "hey" I wasn't expecting. Each corner hides a death, each day a...

Memorial Day 5/27/2024 By: Miracle Man Today, Those who gave their all will be remembered, and also those who returned unlike they left. For all war’s, send many home dismembered, lives are systematically changed as if by theft. For the stench of death nostrils can’t soon forget, many suffer life after P.T.S.D. and are crestfallen. Even more are forced to finish life with...

On this day, I think of those who gave it all for a cause, answered the call to duty and service. I often wonder, what compels one to make such a profound sacrifice, how to quantify such bravery. Those of us, the beneficiaries, must honor them in remembrance, our requisite duty to those who have fallen. We must conduct ourselves in a manner that honors...
