Echoes — Poems of Heartbeats, Conflict & Dreams

“Echoes” — a lyrical journey through battlefields, heartbeats, and the fragile power of dreams.

Echoes

wars between worlds

blooded battlefields 

deciphering the depths 

of swords and shields 

paused peace

increased inundation 

shattered souls 

in silent salvation

a ceaseless conflict

a hollowed hope

humanity hushed

by a ruthless rope 

With you

My heart whispers 

the whispers of your heart

A steady rhythm 

a love-song from the start. 

A slow beat,

a gasp, conveys 

your love to me 

in countless ways

A faster lub-dub,

when you’re near,

echoes a thrill,

so soft, so clear... 

the whispers, the pulse,

the heart strings

tied together 

as we exhange rings

Heartbeat

the silence between two 

heartbeats—

the pause

a void 

carved by a black hole 

will the heart beat again?

it did—

A tremble...then  a thud

the cosmos stirred

the heartbeat between two 

silences,

the pulse

a lub-dub of stars 

echoing through emptiness

a gasp of fresh air

the realisation of life—

Will the silence 

return again?

Weightless

I carry a bag of dreams

that seems light 

to a passer-by

just like stars do 

to an onlooker

weightless

miniscule

but in reality 

they are more massive-- 

scorching hot 

beyond everyone's reach 

That's what my 

bag of dreams 

is like--

"light" as a star

Dreams

When all the hopes crumbled

and my every step fumbled

I heard,

whispers of a lost dream 

from inside of me,a scream

elling me,

what I am meant to be

I have pulled myself together now,

glued the crushed pieces 

of my self esteem

living to make true

my every dream 

The battle of me against me is over now

I am no longer my foe,

and this time

I won't let go...
