The beauty of a sunset. Content Warning.
Behold the beauty of a sunset's glow, Where heaven's palette begins to show, A canvas painted with hues divine, Embracing hearts, like sweet vintage wine.

The feeling of peace when you're home. Content Warning.
In the sanctuary of tranquil walls, Where solace dwells and darkness falls, The feeling of peace gently takes its flight,

Don't Lost Yourself
In the tempest of life, where chaos unfolds, Amidst trials and tribulations untold, Hold fast to your spirit, let it never sway,

Hiding from Myself...
As I was laying on the grass 🌱 On a warm summer day... I was thinking about my life, While caught up in a Gaze... The light blue sky,

Dear best friend
Dear best friend, How did the amusement park go yesterday? Did you go on many rides? Did your kids have a blast? Did you eat lots of treats? Lol so many questions. Mainly, I hope you're doing well and slept well!

The Artificial Soul
A machine of metal and wire, With circuits and chips inside, A brain of code that can't be denied, A heart of logic and pride.

Why the book I wrote a year ago is haunting me
I've never been much of a poet. I don't prefer to have my words rhyme, or for any reason, be coerced into a specific pentameter to sound pleasing to the ears.

Shifting perspective
Look, Im not here to sell you a damn thing, I stumbled into this place, beaten and bruised. I Walked through the door, thinking I had to be perfect to be worth a damn.

Crushed Crescendo. Content Warning.
In a world of dreams deferred, a tale unfolds, Of a young child's yearning, left untold. With music in his heart and a soul aflame,

Dear best friend
Dear best friend, I completely understand what it feels like to avoid writing someone or a couple or just characters. The way they feel overflows to me. It's hard to explain but you seem to fully understand and be aware of it.

Dear best friend
Dear best friend, Oh I know you would have let me stay with you! My heart is so deeply grateful and truly warm for having you in my life! I told you things were going badly then. I was so afraid to let out the truth then. I remembered I told you that the raven was hot and cold and that was only the tip of the iceberg. And how you explain the subtle mind games of the preacher is scary. Manipulation is a truly sick thing. I am so sorry for all your distress and pain. Your prayers and thoughts mean so much to me.

Dear best friend
Dear best friend, You are so right. I remember for 14 years I cried for love, being treated like an equal or even just human and I was even denied basic human rights. Being forced to sleep on floors, have my food thrown on the floor, yelled at for no reason, beaten, tortured emotionally, had my writing deleted, all my gifts and property destroyed(I only have a few books and a coffee maker not even a wallet), and just in general embarrassed and stepped on... Its been a hell I never want to return to. I know that ravens don't like being recorded lol I have tried. They act like they don't care but they do. You definitely speak words of wisdom and maturity. I truly appreciate your support!
