When the weight of the world feels heavy,
And shoulders slump beneath its load,
Carrying on becomes an unwanted burden,
Yet resilience demands that we never let go.

Sometimes I dream of laying it all down,
To live and breathe beyond these confines,
To shed the weight of others' expectations,
To find solace, to rest, and unwind.

Even mountains must rest in their valleys,
And oceans retreat before kissing the shore.
Why must I maintain this false rally,
When nature knows the strength of pause?

So let me be both, the warrior and wanderer,
The shelter and storm, the sun and the rain.
Resilience isn't found in constant endurance,
But in knowing when to try again.

To Be, or Not To Be?

Their eyes ignite
With every word,
Each gesture met,
Each story heard.
They lean in close,
They catch each breath,
Captivated between
Each life and death.

Like sunflowers tracking
The morning light,
They watch and follow,
The characters plight.
No greater gift
Could the heavens send
Than souls who yearn
To comprehend.

Lifetime - In Haiku Stages

Tender life’s first cry
In a world so pure and new,
Hello, little one.

Curious minds play,
Running around the playground,
Reaching for the sky.

Reading books piled high,
Through learning they find their way,
As knowledge is found.

Late nights, coffee cups,
Graduating with honour,
Live, learn and begin.

Choices weave their paths,
With responsibilities,
As coin slips through hands.

A chance encounter,
Draws hearts that grow together,
I love you always.

Two hearts bound with rings,
Promises in whispered vows,
‘Til death do we part.

A mother is born,
A new baby greets this world,
They seize my whole heart.

The world keeps turning,
Children into adults grow
With aged threads of time.

Hold my weary hand,
My journey finds its end now,
Stars await my soul.

Passing Time - A Haiku

Grains of sand sift through
The hourglass of timeless flow
As we journey on.

The Forgotten Poet

I am lost in the void,
Dismissed and alone,
Searching for a purpose,
And a place to call home.
But, it hurts to be
A part of something,
With nothing to hold on to.
When I see you there,
And I am here
Wondering,
Where are you?

Weathering the Storm

The torrent inside unleashes its might,
A storm of grief, a lightning strike.
My heart's lament seeks to burst free
From the tides that pull relentlessly;
Where love and hate wage their war,
And peace slips through the open door.

Words sail like ships on sentiments sea,
Spilling my dreams into infinity.
As moonlight's spell commands the tide,
Where joy and sorrow both reside.
In the light and shadow of day and night,
Where pride and shame maintain their fight.

Beneath the weight of all these years,
Surviving tempests of hopes and fears,
My pen becomes my saving grace,
A vessel in this unsettled space.
Into the depths, my soul pours forth,
Seeking harbour and sailing north.

Rewind

I regret the choices
Made in blinding haste;
As consequences anchor
Onto dreams laid to waste.
Each lesson was a bitter taste,
That I refused to learn.

Opportunities were scattered
Like leaves from books in the wind,
While memories taunt me still
And this heartache deep within
Weighs as heavy as my sin,
That is far too much to bear.

If I could rewrite time,
I'd turn back the hands binding
Me to you and rewind.
I'd choose another path,
One kinder, more refined.
And trust me when I say

I'd make things right again.
