The Two Spirits (1855) opens in the silence of night, a silence not empty but filled with something ancient and weighty. In this hush, two beings meet—embodiments of different eras, each carrying the memory and meaning of their time. One looks backward with pride; the other, forward with reflection. Their exchange is not argumentative but contemplative, like two voices echoing in a cathedral of time. The Spirit of the Past recounts a world defined by unflinching loyalty to honor, where death on the…-

A Little Longer invites reflection through its quiet refrain, suggesting that everything—joy, pain, beauty, sorrow—is held in suspension just for a moment more. The poem walks alongside the reader, not rushing toward an ending but encouraging presence in the now. The world is not static; it is alive with subtle movement—violets bloom, birds call out, soft breezes lift petals, and each sunrise feels like a promise. Yet these gifts, as lovely as they are, are not permanent. They shine briefly,…

Grief arrives not with warning but with weight, pressing into the life of the narrator like a silent, ancient force. It is not a visitor—it is a presence, both cold and constant, that claims space within the soul. Wherever there is warmth, it steps in to dim the light. Moments of laughter fade under its shadow, and joy becomes brittle, as if it were never meant to stay. The poem presents this emotion not as a passing storm but as a pale sentinel, always nearby, always watching. In every quiet moment, its…

A Parting opens not with anger or sorrow but with a calm, reflective voice that offers thanks instead of blame.

Part II unfolds with quiet tension, not through dramatic declarations but through imagined heartbreaks and emotional erosion. It explores how even love, though often promised to last forever, might not withstand the long test of time. The speaker does not accuse or blame but instead wonders, with aching honesty, what it might feel like to wake up one day and find that the closeness once shared has faded. Not into hatred—but into distance. That gentle shift, the one so hard to name yet impossible to…

Rest at Evening unfolds gently, inviting the reader to consider not just the end of life, but the calm that follows a day well spent. It does not fear the end but greets it like twilight welcomes night—softly, with acceptance. As life’s momentum slows, the noise that once filled every hour fades into stillness. Familiar duties, long carried with conviction, fall away one by one until only silence remains. That silence does not feel empty but full—brimming with quiet meaning and a release from strain.…

True or False immediately brings into question something many people often accept at face value—love. But not every act that appears loving is true, and the poem unfolds this truth through vivid, contrasting layers. It shows that love may look the same on the outside—spoken in sweet tones or written in letters—but its core can be selfish, performative, or conditional. Some love simply wants to be adored, not to give. Others admire only the idea of love, not the hard work it demands. Still, the rarest…

Golden Words speaks not just to poetry lovers but to anyone who has ever felt the weight of a promise or the sting of a misused phrase. Right at the heart of the poem lies the belief that language, when overused or applied thoughtlessly, loses the gravity it was meant to hold. Some words carry more than meaning—they carry legacy, memory, and a sense of duty. In the modern rush of conversation, words like “Love” and “Honour” are often thrown around like confetti, sparkling briefly but quickly…
