The Fool Errant

by LovelyMay — The Fool Errant appears not as a villain nor a hero but as a tender emblem of youthful ignorance dressed in confidence. He gazes down life’s long road, unaware that willpower alone cannot carry one across its winding breadth. His thoughts flutter like petals in spring wind—full of promise, yet scattered by the lightest gust of truth. In his naive certainty, he believes himself poised for greatness, not because he has prepared, but because he yearns. This belief, fragile yet fierce, mirrors the reckless…

VERSE: Two Worlds

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…

The Day of Days

by LovelyMay — The Day of Days arrives quietly but carries a joy that children never forget. It begins with the hopeful glance outside, barefoot dreams dancing in young minds as warm breezes signal winter’s retreat.

VERSE: GOD’S GIFTS

by LovelyMay — God's Gifts opens with a quiet, solemn truth. When a soul is entrusted to the world—pure, delicate, and unknown—its future is shaped less by fate and more by how it is received. The poem explores this delicate dance between divine intention and human response. In the first tale, a child is brought into the world, faultless and new, yet burdened immediately by society’s neglect. No kindness is offered. Instead, judgment, poverty, and shame shape his earliest days. His growth is surrounded not by…

Ballad: Thomas Winterbottom Hance

by LovelyMay — Thomas Winterbottom Hance stands as a comical legend in his quiet English corner, revered for his unmatched finesse with a saber. Each morning, without fail, he slices through legs of mutton, fabric, and other helpless items with surgical precision, drawing gasps from bystanders and admiration from locals. His skill is performed not in battle, but in display—an art form that no enemy challenges, yet one that remains astonishing. Across the sea in Calais, however, this daily exhibition draws scorn rather…

Rahel to Varnhagen

by LovelyMay — Rahel to Varnhagen begins not with declarations but with tension. Rahel wrestles with the uncertainty that follows vulnerability, unsure if her unveiled self will draw Varnhagen in or quietly push him away. She has handed over not just letters but pieces of her past, marked with passion, joy, and anguish—memories that once felt private, now bared in stark light. His silence in response unsettles her. Was he unmoved, or simply choosing not to react? The lack of immediate judgment leaves her adrift, unsure…
