Eragon’s quest for redemption

In a small and happy village was born an amazing baby

Small, frail and smiling he would soon be destined for glory

Loved praised and cherished, the little hero felt nothing but happiness

Only when surrounded by loved ones he was the happiest

With the heart of a lion and the courage to lift mountains

Always virtuous he always repays his debts no matter what the amount is

Many were drawn to him by his charisma and charm

Especially a girl whose smile was enough to disarm

As fate brought them together, it was fate that set them apart

It was on a rainy day that a creature broke his heart

It destroyed nearly half the village and only desolation was on sight

On that accursed day the broken hero’s heart did ignite

Eager to slay the creature, he was restless and kept searching

For days and nights desperately trying to forget he was hurting

Day after day he was approaching his goal, he felt it

It wouldn’t be too long before he could appease his guilt, he knew it

His hunt brought him at the bottom of a mountain

Armed with anger and sorrow he had the courage of a thousand

Climbing with only one thing in mind

He soon arrived at the top head high with pride

And beneath the azure sky with no cloud so clear,

The most beautiful creature, a dragon flew without a fear,

Its scales the hue of sapphire, reflecting the sun were bright,

It was without a doubt the most Majestic, awe-inspiring sight.

That day he had the chance to meet a dragon so rare,

Whose name was Saphira, beautiful beyond compare,

And though they started as foes that day,

They became companions, Eragon and Saphira, forever to stay.

Ache vent in the crust of my heart
Your love was the most phenomenal art
But now you are gone and I am left with a broken heart
They say time will make you forget
Well, what can I say, your memories are floating and I can only feel regret
All the lingering feelings crawl inside my head
I try to keep a smile but I am walking on a fine thread
our dreams together vanished like a ghost before the sun
and the Damage you caused can never be undone
I was Consuming the best of me to fit in and make us last
I turned a blind eye on all the facts
But you insisted on it to blast
Suddenly everything in my life seems to lose meaning
And our memories pass by like a movie screening
Although a broken heart in painful
However, I can never be ungrateful
Thank you for the happiest moments in my life
We had our ups and downs and strife
I’m watching the night falls and the stars collide
Only, you are not by my side

love’s maze

Like a maze of lightning in my heart
Like fierce earthquake in bombard
You entered my life without an invitation
And showered me with love with no limitation
Stunned by your charm and dimples
Your love is rainbows, unicorns, and castles
I thought that we would last till the end
And our story would stand up like branches that never bend
When you hold me I have no fear
And your presence brightens the atmosphere
You promised that you would be around
In uncertain moments and whenever life brings me down
In your presence I felt like a star that glows and twinkles
We were never meant to fall and stumble
All the lingering feelings crawl inside my head
I try to keep a smile but I am walking on a fine thread
our dreams together vanished like a ghost before the sun
and the Damage you caused can never be undone
I lied many nights tears dried
Blaming my inglorious pride
Suddenly everything in my life seems to lose meaning
And our memories pass by like a movie screening
I blame misfortune for drifting us apart
But now you are gone and I am left with a broken heart
Sorry for any pain that I have caused
Be certain that your love can never be paused
I am drowning in thoughts
Like an outrageous sea punishing in fraught
But time has come to say goodbye
And your warm tender love I can never deny
I’m watching the night falls and the stars collide
Only, you are not by my side

the beauty of nature

The stars above, like twinkling eyes

Gaze down upon the earth below

Their light a gift to you and I

A peaceful glow, a tranquil show

The night is still, the air is calm

The world is hushed, and all is still

The stars above, like guiding balm

Remind us of our place and will

In silence, we can hear the voice

Of nature’s call, a gentle plea

To honor her and make the choice

To live in harmony and be free

The stars above, a symbol bright

Of hope and love, of peace and grace

They shine upon us in the night

And guide us to a better place

As we look up at the vast expanse

Of darkness pierced by points of light

We’re humbled by the cosmic dance

Of stars and planets, black and white

The universe seems infinite

And yet, we’re just a speck in time

But in this moment, we’re content

To bask in starlight so sublime

The stars above have witnessed much

Throughout the ages, wars and love

They’ve seen civilizations clutch

At power, while neglecting the dove

But still they shine, a beacon bright

Reminding us of what we seek

A world where justice is the light

And kindness is the path we seek

So let us gaze upon the stars

And ponder on our destiny

Let’s seek to heal our battle scars

And live in peace and harmony

For the stars above, like twinkling eyes

Gaze down upon the earth below

Their light a gift to you and I

A peaceful glow, a tranquil show.

Until we meet again

In the lifelessness of the night,

When the dark sky is full of bright,

My thoughts veer off as the weather,

To the days when we were together.

But now you’re gone, forever lost,

A loss I paid at the highest cost

The pain of losing you is real,

It’s a wound that time cannot heal.

My heart aches with every beat,

For the love that we used to meet,

The memories that we shared,

Are now too painful to be bared.

The tears that flew down my face,

That sensitivity I was obliged to embrace,

The void that you’ve left behind,

Is a burden that I cannot unwind.

Yet, in my heart you still live on,

Your memory will never be gone,

The crashing of the car I still hear,

A sound which refuses to disappear.

And so, through our memories I’ll live on,

Until the day I’ll also be gone,

And in the meantime, I’ll hold on tight,

To the truest friendship I lost over night.

Whispers of the Wind

Wind whispers softly,

Rustling leaves, it tells,

Stories both old and new,

Legends, truths, and secrets, too.

One lonely tree,

Stands guard alone,

Watching time go by,

With secrets of its own.

Sky like a painting,

Full of colors bright,

Morning and evening,

Frozen moments of light.

We’re just tiny dots,

In a big, big world,

Like little grains of sand,

In the universe unfurled.

Above, the starry blanket,

Glimmers, shines, and winks,

Sharing secrets with the moon,

As the night sky softly sinks.

A Dance in Moonlight

The moon up high, a shiny ball,

Sheds its light, like a curtain fall,

On waters quiet, smooth, and flat,

Showing dreams, where night is at.

In moonlight’s glow, where shadows play,

The flowers dance at close of day,

And whispers soft, like evening’s breeze,

Are carried forth among the trees.

A symphony of crickets’ song,

Fills air, as night does come along,

The stars above, like diamonds bright,

Illuminate the darkling night.

The willow weeps, its branches sway,

In gentle winds, that kiss its spray,

And fireflies, like tiny sparks,

Illuminate the meadow’s dark.

A dance of joy, of life and grace,

Performs before our eyes,

In moonlight’s glow, where shadows play,

A world enchanted, held at bay.

The Chasm of Silence

You left me stranded in a sea of need,

As winter winds whipped through my shattered heart,

Abandoned, left alone to slowly bleed,

I felt your love dissolve and fall apart.

Our silence, a chasm that destroyed,

The bond that once we shared so deep and true,

You were silent, aloof, and devoid,

Of all the care and passion that you knew.

I stumbled, lost and broken, in your wake,

Not knowing if to leave or stay and try,

But love can never be a road half-taken,

It’s all or nothing, truth or else a lie.

You say you love me deeply, but I know,

That love’s a flame that withers in the cold,

Neglect and absence, they’re the winds that blow,

And leave our love a ruin, grim and old. A mountain of love, now slowly crumbles,

As silence echoes through our broken hearts,

My soul, now lost and weak, no longer humbles,

For love, once bright, now crumbles and departs.

My heart, though fragile, beats with strength and pride,

It knows that love must soar or else be free,

So answer me, my love, before we slide,

Into the darkness of uncertainty.

Use all your words, your actions, and your deeds,

To prove that love can still be strong and true,

Or set me free, to follow where my heart leads,

And start anew, without this pain and rue.

If you detach, I’ll cherish your friendship,

Though it will cut deep like a sharpened knife,

But I am strong, and I can handle hardship,

If it will bring an end to all this strife. For we cannot go on in this half-life,

Where we get along for days and then stay still,

Our silence cuts deep like a sharpened knife,

And kills the love that we once used to feel.

Let us choose the path that’s best for us, And if that means we must say our goodbyes,

I’ll mourn the love that we once shared, but thus,

I’ll find the strength to spread my wings and fly.

Our love, a puzzle with missing parts,

A mystery that we can no longer solve,

But I won’t settle for half-hearted starts,

I need a love that’s solid, one that won’t dissolve.

So if you truly love me, show me now,

Prove that our love is worth the fight,

Or let me go, and we’ll both take a bow,

As we embrace a new dawn, a brand new light.

In the end, love is a journey of the soul,

With peaks and valleys that we must all traverse,

But we must be brave enough to take control,

And choose a path that’s worthy of our worth.

My queer memory.

The hardest life hits me.

The seiner I become.

No regret, no sorrow follows me.

No one to blame.

Life chattered me to teach me.

As a stranger killing time to survive

Sitting there looking for his waisted life

I looked for a meaning in my crave.

The motion of monitoring your passing years kills as a knife.

No regret, no sorrow follows me.

No one to blame.

Losers and elders find the grief in the afterlife.

Sitting there all my memories are coming back.

My disappointments, my tears, and my delights.

Nothing left, and nothing lasts we forget the embracement,

but we regret our lack of courage.

At my young age, I lost the meaning all I want is peace.

Prisoner in my memory’s cage

Somber than my fears

The beast inside terrified me for years.

Between hell and heaven, I saw a dead face.

Oh, my past years, oh my waisted life.

The dead face was mine!

I Asked My Grandmother, and Once She Said Yes.

When the days were still bright.

And my hair was still short.

I asked her for a trip.

And she said sure, why not.

We would go to beach.

Where you ran until you sweat.

We would buy a juice and watch the waves.

I would tell you a story when you are on my legs.

We would play together as a newly met friends.

I would recall my youth with you.

I saw my youth in you.

You would help me to walk, and I would help you to sleep.

I said we would swim together.

She spoke she could barely walk.

So why we would go to the beach then.

to watch you swim she said.

We would build castles from sand.

We could own whatever we want.

A house, a fort or a city

It was just us and the world we build.

We could invite whoever we want,

Protect it as our child,

Or destruct it when it’s time.

It was all for us and depend on us, she said.

the sea breezed our hair.

She was shiner than the sea.

Her purity took my breath away.

She always makes my heart sway.

I asked her to stay.

She said yes sure, why not.

Yet she left. for she used to fly…

As a breeze, angels cannot stay.
