    • VERSE: A Woman’s Answer Cover
      by LovelyMay A Woman's Answer begins as a tender, yet unapologetic declaration of how love cannot be caged or confined to a single form. The speaker does not diminish her devotion to her beloved but rather expands the definition of love itself. Her soul responds not just to the touch of one person, but to a symphony of experiences, memories, and meaningful connections. She remembers how sunlight first fell on his hair the day they met, and how winter’s stillness brought him back into her arms. Love, for her, is…

      VERSE: A Letter

      VERSE: A Letter Cover
      by LovelyMay A Letter begins with the quiet longing of someone who attempts to translate overwhelming love into lines on a page. The speaker sits with pen in hand, imagining the exact words that might reflect the shape of their heart. Each sentence is crafted with care, but none feel quite complete. Language seems too fragile to hold something so powerful and intimate. A sigh escapes as the speaker realizes that eye contact, a shared silence, or the warmth of touch would speak louder than ink ever could. There’s…
    • VERSE: Discouraged Cover
      by LovelyMay Discouraged begins with a gentle discovery—a tiny stream barely visible beneath layers of moss, its quiet murmur inviting curiosity. The speaker follows it with innocent wonder, seeing in its path a reflection of hope and quiet promise. There’s companionship in the stream’s rhythm, and an unspoken agreement forms: the journey toward the sea will be shared. As the stream dances past heather and tumbles through hills, joy blooms from the unplanned exploration. It’s a journey both outward and inward,…
    • VERSE: Light and Shade Cover
      by LovelyMay Light and Shade begins by recognizing the quiet strength in those who carry both joy and pain without complaint. Life is not a straight path of constant brightness, nor is it always shadowed. Instead, it unfolds in shifting tones—sunlight filtered through passing clouds. The poem invites readers to see this interplay not as confusion, but as richness. By embracing contrast, we learn how to feel more deeply, connect more honestly, and live more fully. What comforts one day may not work the next, yet that,…
    • VERSE: Philip and Mildred Cover
      by LovelyMay Philip and Mildred opens in a moment marked not by celebration, but by sorrow cloaked in tenderness. In the hush of early evening, the two lovers walk slowly through a valley that once echoed with the laughter of their shared dreams. This was to be their wedding day, yet instead of vows before family, they exchange promises beneath a darkening sky. Philip, drawn away by recognition he never sought but cannot refuse, leaves not for glory but for purpose. Mildred, though aching with loss, urges him forward,…
    • VERSE: The Carver’s Lesson Cover
      by LovelyMay The Carver’s Lesson speaks to those who create not with their hands alone, but with their hearts and convictions woven into every detail. The speaker urges that skill, while essential, is not the highest virtue of art. What truly matters is the message that breathes quietly through each carved form—a whisper of peace, kindness, or truth hidden in wood or stone. A carved rose should carry more than beauty; it should soften a heart or inspire a thought. This lesson isn’t just for sculptors—it’s for…

      VERSE: My Will

      VERSE: My Will Cover
      by LovelyMay My Will begins not with possessions, but with presence—the kind of presence that lingers even after parting. The speaker, without land or riches to leave behind, chooses instead to pass on pieces of their spirit. These are not grand inheritances of gold, but memories, encouragement, and affection sculpted by time and care. Each recipient is offered something deeply personal: a name carried with tenderness, a task that echoes shared conviction, or a love untouched by bitterness. These gifts are quiet, yet…
    • VERSE: A New Mother Cover
      by LovelyMay A New Mother opens within the quiet strain of a family still grieving, where love is present, but fragmented by memory and loss. Sir Arthur, though dignified and affectionate, carries a solemn weight since the death of his wife. Her absence lingers in the house like a shadow that dims even the happiest days. Each night, the children gaze at her portrait, not as a habit, but as a ritual that binds them to the past. Her voice echoes in the walls, her influence woven into every custom they refuse to let go.…
    • VERSE: Two Worlds Cover
      by LovelyMay Two Worlds begins by immersing the reader in a vision of creation unspoiled—a realm where everything sings in harmony with the divine. God’s world, as depicted, pulses with beauty that transcends form: light glides over valleys, stars dance in ordered rhythm, and every breeze carries the tone of affection. There, strength is not harsh but gentle, and beauty is not vain but noble, shaped by the balance only divine intention can bestow. Light, more than mere illumination, becomes a tender garment draped…

      VERSE: Optimus

      VERSE: Optimus Cover
      by LovelyMay Optimus opens with a caution that speaks directly to the well-meaning heart—the kind of person stirred by the sight of undone work, by silence when action is needed, and by the weight of tasks that seem to have been abandoned. A voice, noble in tone but dangerous in intent, whispers that it is right to step in and take on what others have left behind. It presents itself as a call to heroism, dressed in selflessness, yet it carries within it the seed of imbalance. The poem reveals this temptation as…
