In a world of glass and light, Where dreams once soared to dizzying heights, Fragments glisten in the fading day, Whispers of hope in disarray.
A heart once whole, now splintered wide, Echoes of laughter where shadows hide. Promises linger like ghosts in the air, Remnants of love that once felt so rare.
Shattered like mirrors reflecting the past, Each piece a story, a moment to grasp. Reflections of joy, of sorrow and strife, The beauty of chaos, the chaos of life.
Yet in the rubble, new colors ignite, A mosaic of strength, of courage, of light. For from every fracture, new paths can arise, In the shattered remains, the spirit defies.
So gather the pieces, embrace every scar, In the dance of the broken, you’ll find who you are. For shattered is not the end of the road, But a canvas for growth, a tale to be told.

Left Behind
Left Behind It was the kind of night that clung to the bones—cold and silent. The moon hung low, a pale ghost in the sky, casting long shadows over the abandoned town. Cars sat rusting on broken roads, their windshields cracked, their tires deflated. Windows, once gleaming with light, were now dark and empty, as if the very essence of life had been sucked from the streets.

More Than Just Words
More than sweet words, I cherish the people who are willing to show up for me. The depth of a relationship isn’t determined by how many times we say, “Let’s meet up another day.” Those seemingly warm words often go unfulfilled. Instead, it is the friend you don’t contact often, or even someone who lives far away, who quietly drives over the moment you say, “I’m a little tired lately.”

The Devil's Cut
“Comrade, finally you’re awake.” The voice was smooth, sensual. A flickering incandescent bar was all that lit the white, sterile room. All Vladimir remembered was everything going black. He tried to move his arms and found them strapped to the gurney.
