Kerry

On the dance floor, under the starlit sky, Kerry and I twirled, letting worries fly. With stars above and friends beside, In laughter where our spirits could glide. Months later, I gathered my hope to declare, With a shy smile, she whispered, “Not there.” Disheartened yet wiser, I turned to depart, Leaving behind just the beat of my heart. Through whispered tales and midnight skies, In every shared moment, our spirit flies. No ties to bind, just hearts set free, Yet now I stand, alone with memories of you and me. In shadows I faded, never to return, A flicker, a burn, a lesson to learn. Under the Southern Cross where dreams take flight, I hold onto love, ever lost in the night.

In shadows cast by grief's embrace, A heart once whole now bears the trace Of loss so deep, it chills the night, A son's bright spark extinguished, slight. Two hours distant, worlds apart, Echoes linger, pain in the heart. Neglect became the cruel thief, Stealing joy, leaving only grief. Anger simmers, like a flame, Directed at those who bring such shame. "How could you let this happen?" cries, A father's sorrow, endless skies. In silence, tears cascade like rain, A heavy burden, a weight of pain. Yet from this darkness, hope might rise, In memories cherished, love never dies. Though paths feel tangled, lost in strife, Every moment holds a piece of life. For in the depths of heart's despair, A flicker of light can linger there. So remember the laughter, the dreams once shared, The love that binds, the moments cared. Your story matters, your voice is true, In the tapestry of sorrow, there's strength in you.

In your arms, the poem

In your arms, the world feels right, A whispered dream in the soft twilight. Every glance, a gentle spark, Together we’ll light up the dark. Through the trials that life may send, Hand in hand, we’ll always mend. With you, my heart will always stay, My love, my life, come what may.

In your arms

In your arms In your eyes, I see my home, Every heartbeat, I’m not alone. Hold my hand, let’s never part, You’re the music in my heart. Through the storms, we’ll find our way, With your love, it’s a brighter day. Hold my hand, I’ll always stay, You’re my forever, come what may. In your arms, I’m safe and sound, With you, my love, I’ve finally found.

Ode to Narrel

**Ode to Narrel** In the garden where the wildflowers dance, Lives a spirit named Narrel, full of chance. With laughter like sunlight, a soft, gentle breeze, She weaves through the air, putting hearts at ease. Her energy sparkles like stars in the night, A whirlwind of joy, a beacon of light. With every kind gesture, each smile that she shares, She lifts up the weary, dissolves all their cares. Her voice is a melody, sweet as the dawn, Each word like a petal, gentle and drawn. In her presence, the world seems to glow, As she radiates warmth in the soft aftershow. Through valleys of shadows, she guides with grace, Transforming the mundane into a mystical space. With laughter like music and dreams painted bright, Narrel dances through life, a pure, shining light. So here’s to the spirit, enchanting and free, May her lovely energy continue to be. For the world is much sweeter in her joyful embrace, Narrel, our darling, a true gift of grace.

(Verse 1) Underneath the twilight sky, We laughed as dreams began to fly, But fate, it whispered in the trees, A shadow hung on summer’s breeze. (Pre-Chorus) And in a blink, the world fell dark, A fractured moment, a piercing mark, I reached for you, but time stood still, In the chaos, love remained to fill. (Chorus) Oh, the whispers in the shadows, Carry me to where you are, Though the night has stolen hours, You’re my guiding star. In the silence, your laughter rings, In the echoes of my heart, Forever in the broken things, We’ll never be apart. (Verse 2) Memories swirl like leaves in flight, Your spirit dances in the light, Though the pain stretches like the night, I hold your essence, forever bright. (Pre-Chorus) In every breath, your name I call, A tether strong, it binds us all, Even when the world feels cold, Your love’s a fire that won’t grow old.

In the silence, your laughter rings, In the echoes of my heart, Forever in the broken things, We’ll never be apart.
