Chapter
VERSE: HOMEWARD BOUND
Homeward Bound captures not just a journey across seas, but a deeper voyage through pain, endurance, and unshakable memory. The story unfolds with a storm that shattered the sailor’s ship near Algiers, throwing him into peril. While many experienced men succumbed to fear or fate, he clung to hope, driven by love for his family waiting in England. The wreck was only the beginning. Washed ashore, he faced a crueler storm—captivity under the Barbary Moors. Days blurred into years, and yet, even in chains,…-

VERSE: GRIEF
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…-

VERSE: GOLDEN WORDS
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…-

VERSE: GOD’S GIFTS
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…-

Chapter
VERSE: GIVE ME THY HEART
Give Me Thy Heart begins not in grand ritual but in the soft quiet that follows—a silence filled with questions, weight, and unseen grace. As the last of the congregation faded into the night, the dimmed church stood like a vessel of waiting. There, knelt in the shadows, a woman remained alone, wrapped not in robes but in reflection. Her lips moved in prayer, not rehearsed but real—pleas born from fatigue, effort, and aching honesty. She had given so much already: her time, her comfort, her joy in…-

VERSE: Discouraged
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,…-

Chapter
VERSE: Beyond
Beyond opens with a deliberate stripping away of the world’s temporary crowns—pride, status, intellect, wealth, and control. These may dazzle while we walk the earth, but their light fades swiftly in the presence of eternity. The poem does not rage against these constructs but gently reveals their inability to survive in the atmosphere of Heaven. There, nothing hollow can endure. Earthly accomplishments, impressive though they seem, are shadows when compared to the enduring flame of true love. It is…-

VERSE: A Woman’s Answer
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…-

Chapter
VERSE: A TOMB IN GHENT
A Tomb in Ghent opens with quiet reverence, centered on a young English girl whose presence in the streets of Ghent is marked by a voice that seems older than her years. Her steps are light, but the songs she carries—laced with harmonies echoing Palestrina’s sacred austerity and Scarlatti’s refined passion—speak of something ancestral, something enduring. These melodies are not just a pastime; they are the soul’s inheritance passed from voices long stilled. They seem to belong more to the…-

Chapter
VERSE: A PARTING
A Parting opens not with anger or sorrow but with a calm, reflective voice that offers thanks instead of blame. The speaker has moved past the pain and now sees their former relationship as something meaningful, even if it ended in disappointment. Gratitude is expressed not just for the joy once shared, but also for the lessons that followed. There’s a deep acknowledgment of how love once lit up their life, not like a flicker but like a radiant flame that warmed their days and shaped their hopes. That…-
