WHAT DID YOU SAY Alas, what did you say, A dagger drawn from the lips you swore were kind? I begged the stars to shift, But your silence carved the shapes of my mind. I never wanted the dark between us, I never asked for love to break and bleed, Yet these words are thorns in the garden, And the weeds choke every seed. I didn’t hear you before, But now your whispers hang like chains in the air. I try to love again, But your voice drowns me in despair. You said you didn’t want this, I heard you loud and clear, Now I’m left with pieces of a love The love we had, or thought we knew, Was lost beneath the weight of you. I can't bear the weight of what you never meant, Do you know how your words made me feel, Just like shattered glass beneath my feet. All I wanted was the love to flow But now, it’s all just echoes below. I didn’t hear, I didn’t see— But now, your words are haunting me. Alas, what did you say? I am lost in the ruins of yesterday. 14/11/2024 _Shivani singh_ ©shivani singh

White In the heart's fickle hours, love is a broken watch, For though time mocks with its transient guise, Love's enduring light never ceases to rise. You are every hour, every minute, every breath, Deserving of love's gaze, unwavering and true, In the vast expanse where shadows dance, You are cherished, my heart's guiding hue. So in the fractured whispers of passing days, Hold tight to the truth that in every way, You are destined to be cherished, adored, In the heart's eternal, unerring accord. ©shivani singh

White Too long I've hidden in my fear, Afraid to venture, shedding tears. Questioning if this path is right, Avoiding love, staying out of sight Wrapped in healing, a balm for grief, I yearn to find, to seek relief. I want to reframe my mind, Find healing, leave the pain behind. Courage blooms from the seeds I sow, A new chapter starts, letting old fears go. ©shivani singh

White OCEANS OF STRUGGLES In weariness, my Lord, I bend my knee, No strength to bear this burden laid on me. The ocean of my struggles knows no end, Yet another vast sea I must wend. Take this life, oh Lord, I plead no more, I've begged and hoped, now on this distant shore. My limbs are tired, my spirit worn and frayed, I can't go on, I've lost the strength to wade. The weight of trials, burdens to bear, Endless waves, I struggle, despair. Each day a battle, fierce and long, I yearn for peace, where I belong. I Thought the trials would cease, the pain would end, Yet still I face this vast and stormy bend. Mercy seems a distant, fleeting dream, I surrender now, my soul, it seems. No more the strength to rise above this tide, No breath to muster, in this storm I hide. Oh Lord, in weariness, I now release, Grant me your peace, let this striving cease. Take this life, oh Lord, I plead no more, I've begged and hoped, now on this distant shore. ©shivani singh
