A dream of tomorrow’s bliss.
“You rise and cannot see,”
Cries the star, disgraced and free.
Love burns the heart, consumes the soul,
Leaving us less than whole.
It dries the body, quenches the flame,
And leaves us wandering, lost to shame.
Empty love, a shadowed thought,
A fortress of tears where hope is caught.
The sword of love, both iron and fire,
Breaks upon words of reckless desire.
AUTUMN WHISPERS IN PARIS
“On an autumn evening in Paris, I walked beneath the golden rain of leaves, their whispers carried by the wind. The city felt alive, as if it, too, breathed the poetry of the season.”
The autumn wind calls, soft and low,
Through Paris streets where shadows grow.
It stirs the leaves in a golden flight,
A fleeting dance in the fading light.
The Seine reflects the twilight’s glow,
Its waters deep, where dreams still flow.
Beneath the arches, the city hums,
To the rhythm of footsteps, as evening comes.
The air is sharp, the world feels near,
A tapestry woven with love and fear.
The bells of Notre Dame softly chime,
Marking the hours, stealing time.
A café table, a pen in hand,
Words take flight at fate’s command.
The city speaks in a thousand ways,
In autumn whispers, in smoky haze.
The wind may chill, but hearts stay warm,
Sheltered by love in every storm.
Paris in autumn, a bittersweet song,
Where moments linger, though nights grow long.
RAINSONG IN THE CITY
“As the rain fell, I stood at the window, watching the city blur into a painting. Each droplet seemed to carry a secret, and the rhythm of the storm stirred something deep within me.”
The rain begins, a gentle sigh,
A silver veil from a tearful sky.
Each droplet dances upon the stone,
A hymn for the lost, the wandering, alone.
The rooftops glisten, the streets take sheen,
The world reborn in shades serene.
Windows blur with a liquid art,
Each streak a story, each smear a heart.
The scent of rain—earth’s quiet prayer,
Lingering soft in the heavy air.
A rhythm steady, a timeless beat,
A soothing balm for weary feet.
And as it falls, it seems to say,
“Pain will pass, just as clouds give way.
The darkest skies will always part,
For rain is the language of the heart.”
When the storm subsides and silence remains,
The world is brighter for the cleansing rains.
And in the stillness, the soul may see,
The beauty that comes from simplicity.
IT IS EASY AND SIMPLE TO BE FREE
“After my first television job, I stood on the roof of the studio, gazing at the stars. The breeze whispered freedom, but I wondered: was it truly easy to feel free? In that moment, I learned freedom demands more than wings—it demands wisdom, courage, and the strength to be wholly yourself in a world that never stops watching.”
It is easy and simple to be free,
But only if your soul agrees —
To walk a path that few have known,
And claim as yours a life your own.
In the dazzling glow of the studio’s light,
I performed my part, I fought the fight.
To be wise, so my eyes could speak,
To be clever, quick with words unique.
But beneath the script, behind the scene,
A quieter truth lay, unforeseen:
To be strong meant more than to endure,
It meant to hold my essence pure.
For in this world of fleeting frames,
Where every step calls forth acclaim,
It’s easy to lose what makes you whole,
To trade applause for your very soul.
Freedom asks for more than flight,
More than dreams beneath the night.
It asks for wisdom, so your heart can lead,
And strength to rise when the world impedes.
To react, to reply, in clever command,
To steady yourself when you barely can stand.
To gather the chaos, the noise, the pain,
And funnel it all through heart, mind, and brain.
It is freedom to smile when the cameras roll,
To balance the weight of a scripted role.
But greater still is the quiet art,
Of staying true to a tender heart.
The lights may fade, the applause subside,
But freedom is found on the soul’s inside.
It is not the fame, the roar, the glare,
But the strength to know yourself out there.
To soar alone where dreams take flight,
To harness the stars that pierce the night,
To hold your ground, through storms that reign,
And transform the struggle into gain.
For freedom is not the wind’s embrace,
Nor the fleeting charm of a familiar face.
It’s the wisdom to see, the strength to know,
That to truly be free, you must let yourself grow.
So let the stars be your silent guide,
Let the truth within you coincide.
For freedom is not just to flee—
It is to stand, unbroken, and simply be.
VINTAGE TEARS RUN DOWN THE WALLS
“There is a solemnity in decay, where time itself breathes heavier than silence, and every crack whispers secrets of the past. In Venice, I found a room that seemed to listen to its own sorrow.”
In the depth of a Venetian night,
Beneath the moon’s uncertain light,
A woman stands where shadows fall,
Her voice caught in an ancient hall.
The walls, adorned with vintage tears,
Bear witness to forgotten years.
Each faded fresco, each fractured stone,
Holds whispers of lives once brightly known.
