Entwined

Entwined: Poems in chronological order.

  • Hope

    Curses lifted from me as I keep hope alive
    Pages inspired and now I strive
    To keep writing on my own
    And for the ones who illuminate me
    I feel as though my heart has grown
    Determination will set me free.

  • Sociability

    We make amends but it takes time to see the fruits
    Likewise sifting through scatterback brings me back to my roots
    I still pray even though I said I’d meditate, I feel heard
    Signs and unity with family bring me an encouraging word
    Maybe someday I’ll be able to stop telling lies to myself
    I’m turning new leaves and this brings me newfound wealth
    There’s less pressure on me now to be a perfect being
    But I feel like the more I strive the feathers will grow back on my wings.

  • Being Heard

    Trying so hard to align but doubts linger
    I mask the wreckage of my heart and wonder
    Will the forces of my perception let me focus?
    But you were real with me and it’s colored my mind
    I almost don’t believe I heard you tell me.

  • Thinking

    I couldn’t hear through the darkness of the nam-shub
    but I did my best to be diligent and learned to don scrubs
    not everything’s perfect in this new house though it may look nice
    I have to be sure I never make a mistake and check at least twice
    I don’t want to leave my mother when I’m all she has here
    But I’m changing my ways and making amends, to be clear
    Not everything can happen overnight but I’m thinking on things
    I know you’re tired of being patient with me but I’ve got strings.

  • Skipping Tracks

    We step aboard the midnight train,
    your hand in mine, the whistle low.
    Carriage doors sigh shut like secrets,
    and steel begins its velvet flow.

    Outside, our city blurs to silver threads;
    inside, your laughter warms the glass.
    The rails hum a promise we both know—
    this ride was always meant to pass.

    Then the tunnel blooms with violet light,
    worlds unzip like pages turned too fast.
    Another you, another me,
    wave from the platform as we glide past.

    In that parallel dawn we’ll claim our seat,
    coffee steaming, knees gently pressed.
    Same hearts, new skies—still us, complete.
    Forever boarding, never second-guessed.

  • Rhyme 2 – Gratitude

    O gracious God, our hearts are filled with praise
    For crafting us with destiny so grand-
    Two souls of gold and silver from Your blaze,
    Forever joined by Your all-knowing hand.

    We cherish every goodness You bestow,
    The wonders shining through our every day,
    The bookstore rain that helped our spirits grow-
    In grateful awe we walk Your perfect way.
