Be Me

A friend of mine questioned me with a serious glance,
Why does sadness not rule over me?
Why, even through highs and lows, am I constantly in good spirits,
She never heard me utter a negative word.
With no response to offer, into silence I drifted,
In a sea of contemplation, the answer I crafted,
I don't know if it's strength, perhaps it's simply love,
For myself, for life, for my own journey.
I don't covet riches, nor do I envy glory,
I am content with my own story,
As I have come to see value in what I possess,
Memories, dreams, sometimes I cry, sometimes I'm down, sometimes I question, but assured that something good will come after the storm.
Tears in the night, morning smiles,
Every moment is unique, each love is a flame,
For the good of people, my heart continually calls,
I desire to be light, a bonfire, not just embers.
I recognize the blessing I carry within my being,
And even amidst storms, I will not hide,
I am grateful for every step, every dawn,
On this stage of life, proudly I stand.
I am unique, as genuine and free as the wind,
I've never denied my affection, never hid my feelings,
So, it's for this reason my friend, I remain joyful,
For in simplicity, I find what is beautiful and noble.
My happiness dwells within my skin, within my flesh,
There are no prerequisites, no formula, no antidote,
It simply flows in my veins, in the breeze, in the sea, within me,
Proud to be myself, authentically and originally from the factory.

Oh, stability, how you slip from my grasp!

I, a solitary dancer, tread this world alone, An orphan from birth, my heart forever prone. With graceful leaps, I move from embrace to embrace, But yearn for certainty in this deceitful space. Through uncharted paths, I wonder Will the certainty be one day sown within my soul? Or doubts persist, even as death takes its turn? Oh, stability, how you slip from my grasp, Like sand through fingers, you escape, so fast. But my mind hold on the uncertainty, as if it is my fate's enigma, trusting that it is a shaping force, that trigger my better being throughout my way . In truth's tender glow, death's embrace may bring solace, Doubts may wane, leaving behind no trace. Or it will be a spectral presence in the final breath's sway? Yet, I embrace uncertainty, for wisdom lies on within it, Upon this dishordained path, I shall survive, Hoping doubts shall be vanquished, and clarity one day come to exist. Celia de Morais

X-Ray

Image
Oh, if only we possessed sight divine, To see each soul with X-Ray's fine line. What fascination in this sight would be, A window to essences we seldom see. Hidden behind laughter's brilliant surge, Whispered passions on the verge, Intrigues, madness, regrets take flight, An unexplored cosmos comes to light. An emotional realm pure and bright, Grimly retreats from revealing light. Imagine, if only we could delve, Into depths where human minds themselves dwell. Eyes - radiant irises that reveal, Laid bare under X-Ray's steel, Joy and sorrow, love and fear, Unveiled in authenticity so clear. In an age where words and actions wear a mask, The X-Ray vision takes to task. Piercing illusions superficial, Grasping reality's harsh initial. Witnessing an internal strife, Scarred battles from early life, Would we feel pride or shame, In the script of our untold game? Invisible weights upon many a shoulder, A hidden cross that makes them older, Tears unseen behind a smiling trace,...

Love is a language that everyone understands

Deep in our souls lives the desire to be loved, to be important to someone, For it is not the heartbeat that truly defines life, But the feeling of importance, where love intertwines. When affection flows freely, like a gentle stream, We bask in its warmth, like a radiant dream, For it is in these connections that we find our value, A sense of purpose, a reason for our birth. Yet when love's embrace begins to fade, And affection subsides, like a dying waterfall, We feel ourselves fading, like a distant star, Lost in the vastness, we are no longer who we are. Remember, with each passing day, Show affection, in our unique way, For a simple touch, a kind word, a kind smile, It can mend broken hearts and make life worthwhile. For it is the small gestures, the acts of care, It can pull someone out of the depths of despair, To make them feel valued, wanted and adored, To remind them how important they are, how their presence is adored. Be mindful, in everything we do, Spread love and aff...
