My time is mine, my dreams take flight,
I owe no one my peace tonight.

#Poetry #DarkPoetry #Independence #SelfLove #PersonalFreedom

No need to change or play a role,
Just live in truth and guard the soul.

#Poetry #DarkPoetry #Authenticity #SelfWorth #Freedom

No waiting for a text at night,
Just dreams that keep the soul alight.

#Poetry #DarkPoetry #Solitude #SelfLove #PeacefulMind

No chains to wear, no debts to pay,
Just peace and freedom every day.

On the sandy beach,
footprints:
long is the spring day.

Love these poems, especially For Years It Didn't Rain Like That, by Ibrahim Hernández Oramas translated by Kristin Dykstra & featured in Asymptote: www.asymptotejournal.com/poetry/two-p... #TranslationTuesday #poetry #translation

When blame replaces words of grace,
A wounded heart longs for its own space.

In chains disguised as loving care,
You miss the freedom once found there.

To please another and lose your way,
Is a price too high for love to pay.

Sharing a life, a breath, a dream,
Can leave a wounded soul unseen.

The weight of routine can dim the light,
And turn warm days to endless nights.

My heart finds peace beneath the sky,
No storms of love to make me cry.

#Poetry #DarkPoetry #InnerPeace #SingleLife #EmotionalFreedom

My time, my space, my path to trace,
I walk through life at my own pace.

#Poetry #DarkPoetry #Independence #SelfLove #Freedom

No chains to bind, no soul to own,
I bloom in peace, my heart my own.

Por Afrodita,
diosa del amor,
Prometo serme fiel
y respetarme
durante el resto
de mis vidas.

Je ne me sens plus moi-même :
Je me suis usurpé mon identité.
