My Poetry Compilation

  They insist the innocence within is lost with age I beg to differ that it’s only captive in a mere cage The once optimistic eyes now wasted in despair It’s a dynamic journey from a crib to an armchair   Rose-colored glasses were replaced to correct faulty vision Once agile shape turned to withering relic after the transition Albeit the heart and soul revert to the gleeful young years We were greeted and will be sent off by loved ones in tears

  I never realized how certain words could be so hurtful So I apologize to all those I have so gravely offended I regret what I uttered and admit that it was distasteful I ask for forgiveness of all those who were affected   I never realized how certain actions could be so hurtful My indiscretion has tarnished my career and reputation I beg pardon of loved ones for my behavior was awful I aspire to do better after scrupulous self-reflection   I never realized how certain responses could be so hurtful I accept my behavior was unbecoming of a public figure Yet it doesn't excuse you to harass and be so hateful I am sorry that this apology is a product of cancel culture

 It’s been a day my love, The pyre is still ablaze, the cold morning air is filled with smoke  I try to stifle my cries and tears withal my lungs start to choke My mind is in abyss, heart in distress, I don’t know how to feel An year of courtship etched a gaping wound that may never heal It’s been a month my love, Funeral rites and memorials over with but the silence is loud as ever They tell me to move on but try as I may, the pain doesn’t seem to deter I dream of you so often and I can never tell if it’s a nightmare or heaven  I wish for it to never end, yet it does and I am left all the more broken It’s been an year my love, I stand at your commemoration recalling the memories we cherished The tears have dried up since but your legacy can never be perished I imagine you are ecstatic that a colleague asked me to dinner and I said yes! You will forever be a part of me love and I promise to live for the both of us
