Fairytales and Fairies

You thought of a fairytale, happy and bright,

With fairies flying in the soft moonlight.

You think they’re sweet, with wings so small,

But fairies aren’t so perfect after all.

They play tricks and hide their face,

They’re not just full of magic and grace.

They laugh and joke, sometimes they lie,

Not all fairytales are as they seem to the eye.

You thought their world was made of gold,

But some fairies have secrets they hold.

They aren’t always kind, or gentle and true,

Fairytales can surprise you too.

She sat with me, poems in hand

 She sat with me, poems in hand,

Reading words spun from her land,

Of friendship deep and moments shared,

Of love that bloomed, a bond declared.

Her voice was soft, her heart was clear,

Yet in my chest, there stirred a fear—

For as I listened, line by line,

I wondered, "Are these words even mine?"

Does she write for someone new?

A friend unknown, a bond untrue?

Though I smiled and called them sweet,

Inside, I felt a quiet defeat.

“Lovely words,” I said with grace,

But behind the mask, my heart would race.

Was there someone else she held so dear,

Another soul she brought so near?

Little did I understand,

That in her world, I was the hand,

The one she leaned on, day and night,

The muse who brought her words to light.

Those other friends I feared so much,

Were shadows, distant, out of touch.

For in her heart, there was but one,

And I, her friend, was the only sun.

She wrote for me, each line, each tear,

Though I was blind, consumed by fear.

Her love was mine, pure and true—

A friendship that forever grew.

Never Stop Being My Best Friend

Please never stop, stay by my side,

In you, my secrets I confide.

Through every laugh, through every tear,

You're the one who stays so near.

When days are dark, and nights are long,

You’re the one who keeps me strong.

No matter where life’s path may bend,

Please never stop being my friend.

Through every storm, through every start,

You hold a place inside my heart.

A bond so deep, it has no end—

Please never stop, my dearest friend.

What Is a Heart?

What is a heart, but a fragile thing,

A place where all our hopes take wing?

It beats with joy, it breaks with pain,

Yet finds the strength to love again.

A heart is where the truth resides,

Where fear and courage both collide.

It holds our dreams, our deepest scars,

A map of who we really are.

It aches in ways the mind can’t see,

A compass for what’s meant to be.

What is a heart? A tender place,

Where love leaves behind its trace.

You Read, I Write

You read me like an open page,

Each thought, each tear, each quiet rage.

You know the chapters of my mind,

The hidden truths I leave behind.

But I write you in a secret way,

In ink that time cannot decay.

Every word, a piece of you,

A story only I see through.

You turn my pages without fear,

But my pen writes you, year by year.

You know my heart, but don’t quite see,

You’re the story inside of me.

I Saw You in My Dreams

I saw you in my dreams last night,

A fading shadow in soft moonlight.

You smiled, but didn’t speak a word,

Your silence louder than I’d heard.

We walked through places I once knew,

But they felt strange without you.

I reached for you, but you were gone,

Like mist that vanishes with dawn.

You lingered there, just out of reach,

A lesson dreams can never teach.

I saw you in my dreams, so near,

But woke alone, with nothing here.

Letting Go

Sometimes you have to let it go,

The weight you carry, the pain you know.

No matter how tight you hold it near,

Some things aren’t meant to stay, my dear.

It hurts to loosen what once felt right,

To step away, to lose the fight.

But holding on won’t make it stay,

Some things are meant to drift away.

So let it go, though it feels so wrong,

In time, you’ll find where you belong.

For letting go is how you’ll see,

The space you need to set you free.

True Intention

 True Intention

With clear intention, walk your way,

Let your purpose light each day.

In every step, let truth reside,

In every choice, let hearts be guided.

Speak with meaning, act with care,

Let your goals be bold and fair.

Through the storm and through the calm,

Intention’s power is a healing balm.

Don’t just wander, lost and blind,

Focus on the heart and mind.

For when intention leads the path,

Every moment’s worth the aftermath.

Be Yourself

Be Yourself 

Be yourself, don’t hide away,

Let your true colors light the day.

In a world that tries to mold,

Your own story should be told.

Don’t wear a mask to fit the crowd,

Stand out, be unique, be proud.

Your heart knows the path that’s right,

Trust yourself, and shine your light.

The world can change, and people may doubt,

But being true is what it’s about.

So be yourself, let your spirit fly,

For being you is reaching the sky.
