In My Heart, They Must Stay



In the stillness of the night, when shadows softly creep,  

A fear takes hold within me, pulling me from sleep.  

Daddy’s breath was heavy, his heart caught in its strife,  

And in that fleeting moment, I feared for his life.


I am their only daughter, no sister, no brother near,  

And in that fragile silence, my heart trembled with fear.  

What if the world took them, left me on my own?  

In the vastness of this life, how would I be grown?


I imagine days without them, a life too hard to bear,  

Without their loving voices, without their tender care.  

Mom’s gentle words, Dad’s strong embrace,  

A world without them feels like an empty place.


I close my eyes and wish so deep, from the core of my soul,  

That they live far longer than me, that they never grow old.  

For I’d rather walk alone into the unknown,  

Than face this world without them, my heart, my home.


So stay with me, I pray each night, in health and in peace,  

Let this love we share never, ever cease.  

For as long as they are with me, no fear can truly stay,  

In my heart, they must stay, forever and a day.

"Solitary Flight"

Image
On wings of dreams, my spirit soars, Yet in their absence, uncertainty roars. Hope to grasp my goals, I implore, Seeking that day, secure and sure. Alone I stand, a self-grown tree, From a single seed, I found my decree. In moments frail, when odds abound, I crumble, weep, on solitude's ground. No soul to fathom my hidden sorrow, Inequity's hand, I've borne tomorrow. Wealth on display, yet peace denied, Loneliness dwells, a constant tide. No love to warm this heart of stone, Though to others, my love is shown. They cling for gain, their motives clear, No one to stay, no one to endear. A mirage of love, a desert's grace, In this solitary, endless chase.

"Beneath Celestial Wings: Dreams of a Girl's Journey Through Time"

Image
In the realm of dreams, a girl aspires, To soar on wings, her spirit on fire. A longing to transcend earthly bounds, To dance with clouds, where freedom resounds. In twilight's embrace, she closes her eyes, Envisioning a canvas of cerulean skies. Imagining a world beyond mortal strife, Where beauty unfolds in the afterlife. Her dreams take flight on ethereal wings, Exploring realms where the soul sings. A tapestry woven with colors untold, As she envisions a destiny to unfold. Through cycles of life, a cosmic ballet, Reincarnation's mystique in the astral array. A phoenix rising from the ashes of time, Each rebirth, a new paradigm. In the tapestry of existence, threads intertwine, Past and future, a cosmic design. She dreams of lifetimes, an eternal quest, A soul's journey, an unwavering zest. A butterfly emerging from a cocoon, A symphony played on the moon. In each rebirth, a chance to refine, The essence of self, an eternal design. Through the corridors of time, she weav

"Resilience Unveiled”

Image
In childhood's realm, as an only child, I thrived, My parents' love, the warmth in which I dived, With every sunrise, my world felt so alive, In their embrace, my heart was deeply tied.   But life took a turn, down a different trail, A marriage bond that cloaked me in betrayal, They hungered for my gold, my heart grew pale, My father's gifts, like fleeting dreams, set sail.   In that abyss, my spirit felt confined, A web of greed, deceit that undermined, The love I'd cherished, now cruelly maligned, In shadows deep, my happiness declined.   But through the darkest nights, I found a way, Education's beacon lit the path, I'd say, A job, well-paying, where dreams could sway, I vowed to leave my past's disarray.   With every paycheck, my spirit soared anew, No longer trapped, my strength and hope in view, I stand today, a life that's tried and true, No more tears, no more false ado.   I've learned that riches aren't just gold's embrace, True weal
