Icarus
Under the sun's glow,
Thoughts of you as rays that shine,
Birds carry hope’s wings.

About you
My heart beats louder still,
Seconds slip, no words exchanged
It's a silent oath whisperd.

Ode to me
I’m a girl with pages in my hands, 
Lost in worlds that no one understands. 
A hopeless romantic, dreams taking flight, 
In the quiet of dawn, or the soft moonlight. 

Coffee in hand, my soul’s sweet fuel, 
Addicted to wonder, a curious rule. 
I seek connections in the hearts I meet, 
Searching for something that feels complete. 

The world is a book with chapters untold, 
I want to live it, be fearless, be bold. 
Ambition stirs in the depths of my soul, 
But I want to savor the journey—take it slow. 

Life is long, a beautiful song, 
With melodies that carry me along. 
I’ll wander, I’ll wonder, I’ll explore it all, 
For every small moment, I'll answer the call. 

So here I stand, on the edge of it all, 
With wide-open eyes, and a heart that won’t fall. 
I’m young, I’m dreaming, and I know I’ll be free, 
Because in this life, it’s all meant to be.

Eclipsed.
A tempting truth, I must say,
like a labyrinth of thoughts that flow through my mind.
Your name still lingers, bittersweet,
Your eyes, like coffee, dark and deep,
A memory I can't defeat.

The fear inside, a knot I can’t untie,
One, two, three—
I tell myself it’s time to break free.
To be brave, to let the truth spill out,
Let you see the parts of me I’ve kept hidden.

Your voice, just like a vintage song,
With passion and sin, it unfurls.

This is wrong,
I shouldn't want this.
Uh oh, I'm falling in love.
I walk as fast as the rain falls harder,
Waiting for your call, a message,
for you to come over.
To kiss me, to hold me,
and tell me,
'Baby, it’s gonna be alright.'
—'Baby, we'll make it!'
Tell me I’m the one. Make me yours.
Tell me what I want to hear —
'Wait for me, I’m on my way.'

I hold on to you still.
In my dreams, we’re a fairytale,
But as soon as I wake, you fade away.
That’s all it will ever be— a dream.
I realise, as time goes by,
You won’t call me,
Won’t hold my hand,
Won’t let me into your heart.
But what you do is lead me on,
Only to let me down so badly.
I love you so, I cry into the rain.

Baby, can you hear me?
Desperately calling out your name.
And you'll never hear it.
Because all you are is a poem you'll never read.
