• Tapestry of Life

  Needle and thread at my fingertips, I weave the tapestry of my life. Scars, witnesses to my resilience, Bruises, reminders of my healing, Heart, stronger but bleeding, Life, calming but clouded with pain, Ocean, stormy but destined for tranquility.

  The future, a canvas waiting to be painted, Though my plans may not adhere to my design. Sometimes I yearn to flee, But life’s grip is firm, demanding patience.

  So I wait, darkness my companion, Four walls my sanctuary. Until we meet again, I leave you my whispering poems, Thoughts to ponder and reflect upon.

  I am a poet, my soul a fertile ground, Where poetry blooms like wildflowers unbound.

• Fatal Attraction

  When seduction turns into brutal crime,
  Love becomes a nightmare, time stands still.
  Passion consumed by rage,
  A fatal attraction, a killer’s thrill.
  
  The object of desire, now turned to prey,
  Their innocence lost, their life on display.
  The hunter’s gaze, cold and unyielding,
  A darkness within, forever concealing.
  
  The fatal attraction, a twisted bond,
  A love that knows no bounds, beyond.
  The victim’s plea, unanswered and unheard,
  Their fate sealed, their final word.
  
  In this twisted tale of love and hate,
  Passion consumes, leaving nothing but waste.
  A fatal attraction, a love so deep,
  It drives one mad, asleep or awake.
  
  Beware the one whose love burns bright,
  For in their eyes, there may lurk a night.
  A fatal attraction, a love so blind,
  It leaves a trail of sorrow and pain behind.
  
  If you find yourself caught in this snare,
  Flee before it’s too late, take care.
  For the fatal attraction, once it takes hold,
  Will consume your soul, leaving you cold.

• Israel-Hamas war

  Close the door, my dear,
  and keep it shut, I fear,
  for the winds of war are blowing,
  and the world is not yet knowing.

  The bombs are falling fast,
  and the skies are overcast,
  with smoke and dust and debris,
  and the cries of those who flee.

  The children are afraid,
  and the parents are dismayed,
  as they huddle in their homes,
  and pray they’re not alone.

  But hope is not yet lost,
  for there are those who count the cost,
  and fight for peace and freedom,
  in a world that’s lost its reason.

  So close the door, my dear,
  and keep it shut, I fear,
  for the winds of war are blowing,
  but we’ll keep the light still glowing.
