Do Better!

In life’s vast book, I yearn to pen a chapter

Where every line breathes hope, and dreams take flight

To rise above, where echoes of laughter

Outshine the darkest shadows of the night

With a steadfast heart, I vow to climb much higher

Past every trial, where fears and doubts reside

To grasp the stars, fueled by pure desire

And ride the winds of change with arms spread wide

But oh, the path is strewn with stones and thorns

Yet, in my soul, a fire blazes bright

To conquer peaks and face the sharp-horned scorn

With courage’s shield and wisdom’s guiding light

Let this sonnet be my solemn plea

To do better for myself and all to see!

-Do Better-

Blessings and Love!

Unwanted

That feeling of being unwanted

Feeling unwanted. Pushed away, casted out

When all I hear is

We don’t want you

You don’t belong

Unwanted

Hearing them loud and clear

Hear it in my mind

Hear it in my heart

Unwanted

I question myself constantly

Is it how I look?

Is it how I talk? Or act?

Unwanted

Feeling unheard, hidden

Feeling misunderstood at times

Thinking how can I be better

For them

Unwanted

Alone

No one by my side

Walking that lonely road

That feeling all my life

Unwanted

That feeling of no love

Thinking would it always be this way?

Is there something wrong with me

Unwanted

And searching for

Someone to hear me, see me and

Love me

In this world of chaos

Just unwanted

That feeling that I don’t like.

-Unwanted-

Zealous 

In the realm of zealous souls, I stand tall 

Obsessed with passion, I heed its call 

In every endeavor, I give my all 

Driven by fervor, I never stall 

With a fiery spirit, I chase my dreams 

Through turbulent waters and silent streams 

My zeal is a beacon, or so it seems 

Guiding me through life’s intricate schemes 

Though challenges may come my way 

My zeal will never fade or sway 

For in my heart, it will always stay 

A fervent flame, lighting my day 

-Zealous-

Gentle Touch

In the serenity of the day

A gentle touch, soft and slight

Whispers of warmth, a silent plea

A tender grace that sets me free

Fingertips trace a fleeting line

A brush of calm, a sign divine

In the quiet, where shadows repose

A gentle touch, the heart knows

Amidst the noise of a restless day

A gentle touch finds its way

A balm for sorrow, a cure for pain

In its embrace, peace we gain

In the twilight of the fading sun

A gentle touch, two souls as one

A silent vow in this tender hold

A love story quietly told

In every moment, small and grand

A gentle touch, love’s command

A silent language, pure and true

A gentle touch from me to you

-Gentle Touch-

Blessings and Love!

Touch Of Gentleness!

Gentle Me!

In this busy world and all its noise 

I often find myself feeling overwrought 

And though I try my best to stay poised 

I sometimes feel like I’m coming up short 

It’s in these moments that I must remind 

Myself to be gentle and kind to me 

To take a step back and not be confined 

By the standards that I should be 

For I am human, with flaws and mistakes 

And that’s okay. It’s just a part of life 

So, instead of dwelling on what I can’t make 

I’ll focus on the beauty and joy that’s rife 

And in this way, I’ll be kind and gentle 

To myself and to others. Indeed it’s fundamental! 

Blessings and Love!

To Keep Your Cool!

When the heat of the moment starts to rise

And tempers flare before our eyes

Remember to take a deep breath or two

And count to ten before you do.

Find a quiet place to clear your head

And focus on your thoughts instead

Take a walk or listen to some music

To calm your nerves and help you choose it.

Think about the situation at hand

And what you can do to take a stand

But always keep your cool and be kind

To find a solution that’s fair and aligned.

So, when the world around you starts to spin

And you feel like you just can’t win

Remember to stay calm and stay true

And you’ll find a way to make it through.

Just Keep Your Cool!!

Blessings and Love!

Pink Cyclamen!

Pink cyclamen, how you bloom 

In winter’s gloom 

Your petals are delicate and fair 

Amidst the frosty, frigid air 

Your leaves are heart-shaped and green 

A sight that’s rarely ever seen 

In snow and ice 

Your beauty brings a welcome spice 

You grow in pots and flower beds 

A joy to see as I lay my head 

Your fragrance is sweet and pure 

A treasure that will forever endure 

Pink cyclamen, how you shine 

A beacon in the winter’s grind 

A reminder that life goes on 

Even when the cold seems too strong !

Blessings and Love! 

Thank you for reading. 

Discovery of Self!

Embarked on a journey

To find my true self

Guided by intuition

And the whispers of my heart

Through mountains and valleys

And oceans deep and wide

I searched and I wandered

With an unrelenting stride.

And as I journeyed further

A truth began to unfold

That the answers that I sought

Were within me all along.

So I turned inward

And listened to my soul

And found the adventure

That led me back to home.

Now I walk with purpose

And a deep sense of peace

For I know that I am whole

And my spirit is at ease.

This adventure of self-discovery

Has led me to a place

Where I am free to be myself

With love and boundless grace.

-Discovery of Self-

Blessings and Love!
