Poetry: Cowards

Cowards

Nothing is ever going to promise tomorrow, today
Damn, our presuppositions are limited to now
Oh dear. Oh dear
How did we all become so timeless and spineless
The lake is drying, and we are dying with it

It gets dark and dark again
Such is the search for a meal on the dunghill
And we believe vengeance is of the Lord
Especially when she goes to war
She faces not just the guns but also the rot of injustice

Laid back to the truth and never the lies
He enjoys ripping out the souls of his brothers
While cooking for the cabal, he will never dine with
Taking flights of shameful greetings
Oh, my dearest people, hoodlum attacked the palliative

Our strife for enjoyment continues
With the currencies and the mine stones
and our lips soaked with sore wine
as we merry in luxurious poverty
queuing and waiting for death
as our wishful white souls depart into beautiful dark hell

The God's Cruel Jest

The Gods' Cruel Jest The gods, in their wisdom, whispered lies,   Turned my thoughts into stormy skies.   Madness they gave as a bitter gift,   A mind adrift, with no anchor to lift.   At the peak of reason, they laughed and fled,   Leaving me tangled in webs I’d spread.   The path I walked was mine to choose,   Yet in their game, I was meant to lose.   Oh, folly, how sweetly you danced in my head,   Guiding my steps to where reason had bled.   The brink of ruin, a step away,   As shadows consumed the light of day.   In the mirror, I see the gods’ cruel jest,   A soul unmoored by madness possessed.   But in this storm, a truth is born:   To rise anew, one must be torn.   For when the gods seek to destroy,   They first offer madness as their ploy.   But from the ashes of such despair,   I’...

The Strands of Marriage in the Era of Divorce

I'm not in a relationship, so you might be wondering why I’m talking about marriage. Fair question! But you don’t need to be married to observe what keeps relationships alive and thriving. Watching relationships around me, hearing stories, and learning from friends and family, I’ve come to appreciate a few truths that might resonate with anyone, single or married. So, humor me as I share what I believe are the "strands" that hold a marriage together—especially in an era where divorce seems to loom larger than ever. To start, I believe that God should be at the very heart of every marriage. The Bible in Ecclesiastes 4:12 says, “a cord of three strands is not easily broken,” suggesting that a marriage grows stronger when God is a part of it. Having God at the center brings a sense of guidance, patience, and stability to the relationship, providing wisdom during the tough times and reminding both partners of the love and forgiveness they are meant to show each other. When Go...

Growing Together, Not Apart: How to Evolve as a Couple

Introduction: Reflecting on Relationship Dynamics When we think about growing together as a couple, it’s easy to assume that simply being in love will keep us on the same path. But true growth requires intentional work, honesty, and a willingness to confront difficult truths. Although I'm not currently in a relationship, my past experiences taught me some profound lessons about what it takes to nurture a connection that grows stronger over time. In my last relationship, I faced a range of issues: misaligned communication styles, differences in upbringing, and unmet expectations. These are experiences I carry forward as I learn what it takes to foster a relationship that grows together rather than apart. 1. The Importance of Self-Awareness and Growth in Relationships One of the hardest lessons I learned was about the importance of paying attention to red flags, even when it feels easier to overlook them. In my last relationship, I started noticing signs that my ex might be unfaithfu...
