Where the Evening Breathes

In the hush between hustle and home,  

the city exhales a golden sigh—   

as if tired of holding its breath  

through the clamor of dreams passing by.  

Crimson spills on the glass and chrome,  

a twilight kiss from the falling day,  

and buildings like steadfast hearts arise,  

etched in silence, fading away.  

A steeple leans toward the colored sky,  

not in yearning, but in grace—  

like love, reaching without asking,  

soft and certain, finding its place.  

Each street is a story on repeat:  

beginnings, detours, long goodbyes—  

and yet we walk, still hoping to meet  

one soul that steadies all our why’s.  

So let this quiet moment linger—   

a love note tucked in urban breath.  

For even in steel and rushing lights,  

life finds beauty in what’s left.

The Twilight's Whispers

A single tree stands solemn in the fading light,  

Its branches weave stories in the velvet night.  

Pink and purple hues embrace the sky,  

As twilight whispers its soft goodbye.  

The waters below, a mirror of dreams,  

Reflecting heaven's gentle streams.  

Each ripple tells secrets, muted, deep,  

Where the day's last echoes quietly sleep.  

Shadows stretch, the stars alight,  

A dance begins to welcome night.  

In nature's quiet, peace takes its throne,  

And the earth hums softly, alone.  

Beneath the canopy, stillness unfolds,  

A sanctuary where life's beauty molds.  

The gentle breeze carries forgotten tunes,  

Through starlit skies and silver moons.  

The whispers of dusk, they linger and play,  

A soft hymn to cradle the close of day.  

And as the night claims its silent reign,  

Dreams arise, unbound by earthly chain.

Solitude

When dusk sets in for twilight,

Where shadows dance with pale sunlight,

A soul finds peace in silent grace,

In solitude, a sacred space.

No voices break the tranquil air,

No hurried steps, no worldly care,

Just whispers of the wind's soft song,

In solitude, where hearts belong.

A moment's pause, a breath so deep,

In solitude, the soul can weep,

Yet in those tears, a strength is found,

In solitude, we're truly crowned.

In solitude, the mind can soar,

To distant lands, to every shore.

Dreams unfurl like petals bright,

In solitude, they take their flight.

The clouds above, deserve extol,

In solitude, they quiet my soul.

A journey inward, calm and still,

In solitude, we find our will.

Through still lagoon and tall, green trees,

In solitude, our spirit glees.

A quiet strength, a gentle power,

In solitude, we bloom, we flower.
