"In the end

everything will be fine."

Maybe it will.

But, in the end

will it even matter?

If someday you

break a glass

Remember —

        you

once broke a heart

The world is the same

for you and for me—

What we see

depends on

where we stand.

Don't come back

breaking another's heart

stay where you are

no matter how much

it breaks my heart

I will not take you back.

My books are my dearest friends,
Whispering the stories of life to me each day.
Keep growing, never accept defeat—
The true mark of a sincere soul, they say.

They tell me many tales and secrets deep,
I spend my days immersed in their embrace.
Sharing meals with them, falling asleep close by,
In their comfort, I find my peaceful space.

My books are treasures beyond all measure,
Guiding me to prepare for victory’s call.
With love profound, they enrich my soul,
A priceless gift—the greatest gift of all.

We all weave dreams of a perfect mate,
an unseen face, a destined fate.
Sometimes life grants the wish we hold,
sometimes the story turns untold.

Yet love survives where hearts can bend,
with patience, care, and wills to mend.
Forgiveness heals, respect will stay,
and storms of life are kept at bay.

For joy is not in dreams alone,
but in the balance two hearts own.
A life of peace, both hand in hand,
is where true love will always stand. 🌹

Do we want world peace?
  Yes.

Can we have it?
  Yes.

How?

It’s simple.
Pack all our beloved, war-loving world leaders
and drop them off on Mars.
Let them fight there
to their heart’s content.

We shall have peace on Earth.

My heart was free

like a bird in the wild

you trapped it in your

prison of love

      and

when the prison

felt like home

you let it out.

Now it is lost

like the caged bird

set free —

no more caged

yet, never free.

Love disguised as friendship

                         is

neither friendship nor love.

I never asked for
a picture of you.

All I have is the one
my eyes captured
at the first glance of you
and fixed it forever
in my heart.

That is what I carry
in my heart
all the time
anywhere I go—
and that is enough.
