Short Poems

1. “Life is Hope”

In the depths of despair,
When darkness clouds the mind,
Hope is the light that guides us,
And leads us out of bind.

2. “The Fragility of Life”

Life is a fragile thing,
It can be taken in a blink,
So cherish every moment,
And don’t forget to think.

3. “In Death We Find Peace”

Death may seem like an end,
But it’s really just a start,
A chance to find eternal peace,
And to heal a broken heart.

4. “Life Beyond Death”

Though our bodies may perish,
Our souls will always live on,
In memories and in love,
And in the stories we’ve drawn.

Medium Poems

1. “Fading Light”
As the day winds down
And the sun bids its farewell
We watch the world slip
Into the embrace of night
The colors fade to black and white
The gentle breeze grows colder
The world slows its turn
As we rest our weary souls

2. “Eternal Flame”
A spark ignites within our hearts
In the depths of hope and faith
A light that never fades
A flame that cannot be contained
It burns bright in the darkest night
Guiding us through the trials of life
The warmth it brings forever bright
A beacon for all to see and know.

Long Poems

The Nameless Journey

I am walking along a nameless path,
Unknown destination, uncertain wrath,
The wind is howling, the sky is black,
No way to turn, no going back.

I stumble in the darkness, seeking light,
I hear strange whispers in the night,
My heart is pounding, my knees grow weak,
I keep moving forward, though I cannot speak.

The path is twisted, the ground is rough,
The journey is long, and the going tough,
Yet I keep walking, step by step,
Hoping to find my way out of this depth.

I see a glimmer far away,
A faint light shining in the fray,
I walk faster now, filled with hope,
I pray to God, give me strength to cope.

The light gets brighter as I approach,
My heart is beating, like a coach,
I break into a run, as I near,
The light is beckoning, so clear.

I burst free from the dark, into the light,
My eyes squinting, from the sudden sight,
I shield my face, from the blinding glare,
And fall on my knees, in thankful prayer.

The journey was long, the road was rough,
But I made it through, that’s enough,
And though I may walk another nameless path,
I know that I’ll make it, by God’s grace.

The Cycle of Life

Life, I’ve lived it all,
From the moment of birth till the final call,
Sometimes it was smooth, sometimes rough,
Yet every moment, it was enough.

As a child, I was innocent and free,
No care in the world, there was nothing to be,
I lived in the moment, enjoyed the bliss,
That’s the way of life, that’s how it is.

Growing up was tough, challenges galore,
Trying to figure out who I was, what I stood for,
There were highs and lows, it was a bumpy ride,
But I kept moving forward, never turning aside.

Love, too, came and went, like a fleeting dream,
Sometimes it left scars, other times it made me beam,
Broken hearts and patched up ones, I’ve had my share,
But I didn’t let them define me, life still had much to share.

Work was a constant, a steady force,
Sometimes it was fulfilling, other times just a source
Of income, but I never lost sight,
Of the fact that it gave me purpose, it kept me upright.

Then came old age, a time for reflection,
Of all that I’ve lived, all the imperfections,
But I look back with pride, I’ve done my best,
Lived a life of love and kindness, that was my quest.

Now, as I face the final call,
I hold my head up high, feet firmly on the soil,
I’ve lived this life, with its ups and downs,
But in the end, I’ll leave it all without frowns.

For this cycle of life, it’s the way it goes,
Life and death, like the ebb and flow,
I’ll go where others have gone before,
And be remembered, as memories galore.
