The Poetry Marathon

Her eyes, like stars, shine in the night,
And make my world a place of light.
Her touch is soft as gentle breeze,
A feeling that brings me to my knees.

I love this girl with all my heart,
And pray that we will never part.
She’s the one I want by my side,
In her love, I will always abide.

So, my dear, know this is true,
My love for you will always renew.
With every breath, I’ll cherish thee,

With ink and pen, the poet writes,
Words that soar and take new heights,
Lines that touch the hearts of all,
And lift us when we feel small.

The power of the poet is great,
Their words can heal or seal our fate,
In times of joy or deepest strife,
Their verses can bring hope to life.

They paint with words, a masterpiece,
Of love, of loss, of war, of peace,
They bring to life, a world unknown,
And make it ours, our very own.

The poet’s words can change a mind,
And make the deaf and blind, rewind,
Their message is clear, their voice divine,
A light that shines, a way to find.

They capture pain, they capture love,
And let us feel, the world above,
Their words ignite, a fire bright,
That burns within, both day and night.

For poets wield a power strong,
Their words can right a world gone wrong,
And when we read, we feel their might,
A force that guides us to the light.

So let us cherish, the poets’ voices,
And in their words, we’ll all rejoice,
For they have the power, to change our fate,
And make our world a better place.

I’m me, and that’s who I’m meant to be ,
Unique as a snowflake, as each one can see,
My quirks and flaws, make me who I am ,
I’m proud of myself, and I know that I can.

I’m not a carbon copy , not a facsimile,
I’m masterpiece that’s truly one of kind ,
I don’t follow the crowd , I walk my own path,
Hustling and grinding, like math to the blackboard.

society may judge me,but I won’t be crushed,
it won’t dull my sparkle , nor dim my shine I’ll embrace my differences, and rise above,
and show them , what I’m truely made up.

So I’m me , that’s just fine for I know in myself true happiness I’ll find,
I’ll break barriers and exceed expectations,
with strength , resilience, and bold affirmations.

Every day is a great day

Hundreds of dreams
Thousands of thoughts,
Millions of great ideas
Wake up with me.

Every morning motivates me
To rise again like the sun,
Every night teaches me
There is an immense dark.

However,
there are twinkling stars,
There are full moon nights.

I wake up with hopes
I sleep with faith
I had a bad day yesterday,
Today was good.

Tomorrow will be better…..

The Sun and Moon

The Sun and Moon, eternal pair,
One gives light, the other lays bare,
Dancing in the heavens up so high,
As they chase each other in the sky.

The Sun awakens with a fiery glow,
Its rays painting the world below,
Chasing the night and bringing the day,
To light up the path for life’s way.

Then comes the Moon, with its gentle light,
Guiding us through the dark of night,
Casting a spell over the land,
As stars twinkle, hand in hand.

The Sun and Moon, forever bound,
Their love and rhythm, forever profound,
One shines bright, the other mellow,
Together weaving tales of tales untold.

So let us embrace this cosmic duo,
And see the beauty in what they show,
For the Sun brings day and the Moon brings night,
And together they light up our lives so bright.

Moonlit Night

Stars twinkle in the clear, dark skies
The moon’s bright light shines like a prize
A gentle breeze brings comfort and ease
Nature’s rhythm puts my mind at peace

With each breath, the night air is sweet
A time for reflection and self-retreat
The world’s busy streets fade far away
A serene moment to end the day

In this peaceful moment, I find new sight
Navigating through the shadows of night
The mysteries of life unveiled
As I stand in awe, my heart prevailed
