"Maybe eventually was here all along." A raw, reflective journey through heartbreak, self-awareness, and healing. Inspired by the lyrics of Calvin Harris' "Sweet Nothing" and Tame Impala's "Eventually" and "Breathe Deeper," this poem unravels the pain of giving yourself away without ever truly offering anything to yourself in return. This is a reflection on survival. The quiet moments that felt like strength. The ways we try to fill our cracks with love we never thought we deserved. It's about learning how to breathe again. About rebuilding from the inside out. And maybe, just maybe, realizing we were always becoming who we were meant to be.

She told me how the skies called to her, how the birds wanted to teach her to glide She told me how, when the waves crashed and the tide pooled around her legs, she could feel them tugging too She told me how, when the sun set, and the night settled in All she desired was to disappear under a black blanket of darkness She told me how she could hear wolves howl in the moonlight, crying for her to 'come home' She told me how the burning stars taught her how to shine in pitch black and How, sometimes, her own shadow seemed to move towards another world, too Suddenly, one day, she disappeared with the waves And when the tide washed her footprint too I thought to myself that possibly she was right all along, and maybe just maybe, she wasn't meant to be here with humans at all I felt the sun shine a little brighter, and the stars smile in the night And as the birds flew to their nest, I heard a howl in the moonlight Maybe she is finally 'home' But then, soon after, what I noticed shocked me to my very core I felt the sky whisper to me And when the birds flew to their nests, I felt like following them too How the ocean sings to me a lullaby, and I stand at the shore, calm, and when the sun painted the sky orange, I felt the need to fade away too Finally, I knew I was just like her when my own shadow didn't follow me 'home'

A journey through loneliness, longing, and the search for love. Trapped Between Shadows explores the pain of a heart seeking joy that always seems just out of reach

Self care

My love, Not yet seen but already recognized, Not yet held but already felt deep within... I am writing to you from an inner place where silence speaks loudly, where the wind and the sea hold ancient secrets, where a hidden bush on a distant beach revealed your presence to me. I know you exist. I haven't imagined you. I have recognized you in spirit. My heart lit up like when you hear a familiar voice you've never heard before. Your presence invaded me without words, like a promise that doesn't come from man but from God. You are not a dream. You are the concrete manifestation of a promised grace. You are flesh and light, soul and reality. You won't just be in my mind, you won't just be in a poem: you will be in my hands, in my days, on my path. I have waited, sometimes with anxiety, other times with resignation, but now I feel I must act: not to forcefully seek you, but to prepare the ground where you can walk toward me. With God as the gardener. I welcome you today-even though we have not yet met. I choose you, in freedom. I bless you, wherever you may be. And I entrust to God our time, our fragilities, the distance that separates us. Come, if you too hear this voice. I will be there. With an open heart, with empty hands, but with love ready to become a home. And even if we don't see each other today, I will not stop living as if you existed. Because true love doesn't need proof to start building. It only needs faith and truth. Until we meet, at the perfect hour. In the name of Love that does not disappoint. Yours, in promise and in reality Francesco

This collection is a journey through the darkness, a series of poems written from my heart.as someone who has seen the raw edges of life, love, and loss. Each of my poems reflects a moment, a feeling, or a memory I've held close. Some broken, some mended. It's a glimpse into my battles. The pain of giving too much, and the struggle to find peace in a world that never seemed to make sense. These poems are my way of saying everything I never could, of speaking truths I've lived but never shared. This is my story, my healing, my truth. one word at a time.

My inner thoughts spoken poetry

To My Inner-Friend is a powerful exploration of self-acceptance and emotional growth. It captures the journey of embracing vulnerability-once seen as a source of pain and weakness-into something meaningful, even essential. Through a reflective and deeply personal voice, you've transformed "cry" from an adversary into a teacher, a companion, and ultimately a force of harmony. The simplicity of the language makes it accessible, yet the emotions run deep. The gradual transition from rejection to acceptance mirrors the evolution of understanding oneself. The closing lines, where emotions move in unity like a family, reinforce the idea that true strength lies in embracing all aspects of our emotional selves.

Because even the wildest hearts fall to their knees when the light fades. Set against the silence of open skies and the ache of everything left unsaid, Even Cowboys Cry at Dusk is a collection of poems about the kind of love that lingers, long after the dust settles. These pieces speak of men who run from what they feel, women who burn too bright to stay, and the ghosts that follow when pride lasts longer than tenderness. It's the quiet heartbreak of wide horizons and empty beds, of longing that hums like a train in the distance. Told in the language of wind, whiskey, and unspoken truth, this book captures the raw, cinematic ache of being human, the way we love, lose, and carry what never really lets go. For the ones who loved too hard. Left too late. And still feel it when the sun goes down.

A soul-stirring poem praising the majesty, mercy, and power of Allah, the Creator of all. This piece blends awe of nature with deep spiritual reflection, reminding us of His constant presence and boundless mercy. Each verse magnifies the signs of His greatness found in the skies, the earth, and the human soul.

A piece of spiritual-meditative poetry with a strong philosophical and mystical tone. Theme of Oneness - It emphasizes unity between self and the divine, removing the sense of distance. The divine presence isn't "out there" but alive within. Reflective & Guiding - It reads almost like spiritual counsel or inner wisdom being spoken aloud, gently instructing the reader not to imprison themselves mentally but to align with higher truth. Biblical Resonance - Phrases like "Seek, and you are already found. Ask, and the answer rises within. Knock, and the door is open" echo scripture, giving it a psalm-like cadence. Philosophical Depth - The poem grapples with how thought shapes reality ("as a man thinks, so he becomes"), blending spiritual insight with mental discipline. Mystical Imagery - The mountain, Golgotha, the guiding light-all create a sense of sacred symbolism. Tone - Calm, meditative, uplifting, and intimate-like a blend between poetry, prayer, and mantra.

Poems I prayed in faith, cried and wrote in heartache, long before I ever met my wife, the Lord graciously gave to me in answer to thos poetic prayers and meditations

A raw poetic journey through self-blame, betrayal, and isolation. This piece dives deep into the soul's silent suffering and the longing for release from emotional captivity.

Because we live in a broken, fallen world, the feeling of wanderer is easy to come by. And the broken world does not necessarily become easier for the one who becomes God's child. You have probably had at least one season (if not multiple seasons) where you felt as a "wanderer". You live and walk through life moment by moment, day by day, year by year and yet find that you're not sure where you're headed and feel like you carry your cross and struggle with life, alone. Yet all of this must find its end at the feet of the redeeming hope of God's truth. For the Christian, this feeling is deeper because he knows that, despite the unknown and uncertain life and future that stretches before him, he is not really walking through life aimless, helpless and directionless but rather being led and guided by the unseen God; the Father in Heaven. I have written this book to share with any and all those who feel like they're alone in their life and their walk after God. In my imperfect poetry and heart, I have sought to reflect and display this truth of God: That we have tangible hope (assurance) to have and hold in this life and keep us in our walk before Him. If you have seen the path before you as uncertain... If you have found yourself a lonely and struggling traveler through life... Or have felt yourself like a leaf being carried by an unseen wind... Then my book is for you. So grasp the Father's tender hand and let Him lead you through the shadows and light of your life...through His valley of vision. === Cover Art by Maria Oosthuzien (South Africa) [Facebook, Instagram, Google Images]

"Between the Lines" is a collection of poems that dances between the quiet spaces of the heart, where words often fall short and emotions linger in the shadows. Each verse is a breath, a pause, a reflection of the moments that shape us but go unsaid. From the depths of heartache to the sparks of self-discovery, these poems capture the delicate power of unspoken truths. They are fragments of thought, woven together in vulnerability and strength, inviting you to explore the spaces where meaning resides, not in what is spoken, but in what is felt.

"It's been a while... yet, my heart still calls for you. A story of love that never happened, yet somehow feels eternal."

(Completed) A sacred collection of divine verse and eternal reflection. In the quiet expanse between Heaven and Earth, Angels offers a chorus of celestial voices-gentle, radiant, and eternal. Each poem is a prayer in motion, a whisper of the divine woven through the mortal heart. Here, light meets longing. Faith meets wonder. And the soul, ever reaching upward, finds comfort in the grace of unseen wings. These verses speak of purity and purpose, of divine mercy and the mystery of love beyond the veil. They echo the timeless harmony between spirit and sky-reminding us that even in silence, Heaven still sings. A book for the seeker, the dreamer, and the soul who listens for angels.

"Echoes in Reticence" delves into the inner dilemma of holding back emotions and unspoken words. It vividly captures the profound ache of wanting to express feelings but fretting they might burden others. As thoughts and words remain trapped in the deep recesses of the mind, they become echoes-yearning to be freed but confined in silence. A soulful exploration of the burden of unexpressed truths.
