Have a wonderful 2024, my friends! Find and sieze that grit and strength that lies within, so you may make this year one of the best years of your life. Let 2024 be a chapter filled with happiness, victories, good will - both for you, and everyone around. I'm rooting for you!

In search of a clean slate,
We’re trying to #illuminate
The dusk set down by fate
With torches, lit by hate.

The words spoken were lyrical, conveying a classical, tragical chronicle - an ardent heart, once torn apart. Words of power, pure, and #magical , turning typical into remarkable. A hope, unwilling to depart, yet still striving for a new start.

A garden of wonders lies before me, beckoning my approach, so I answer its plea. Along #violet lilies I make my way, enjoying the butterflies’ hypnotic sway, which stirs up a scent that makes me think of summer's warmth, during cold days of spring.

The setting sun grows weak and sore.
Winter’s knocking at the door.
#Hibernal winds make haste to sneak inside
Like a deafening, cold tide,
Bellowing that time is nigh
For the Ice Queen to rule the sky.

#firewords280

Loyal heart, bold and serene, you are but the one true queen. Your garments glint in honour’s glow, brandishing a lavish flow, and exuding inspiration far and wide across all nations.

People fear what they don’t know
Like, say, eating #escargot
Because uncertainty is scary
And we choose dull much more than merry
But, to be fair, the hardest part
Is breaking the whole shell apart
For once we glimpsed beyond the crack
A whole new world starts to unpack
#vss365

The fields of Elysium’s unique perfume
Of tulips and #lavender , ceaseless to bloom.
A fragrance of hearths, consuming tinder,
During dark days of bitter mid-winter.
The scent of spring, dawning once more,
And melting the ice encasing the soul.

#lightning travels at 350 million km/h
And you might think ‘Well, that is an impressive power’.
But that doesn't even come as near
As how my heart beats when you’re here.
To be fair, the whole world seems slow,
Each time you smirk and say ‘Hello’.

#vss365

Finally, you seized control
And set out to reach your goal,
Dragging after you the weight
Of a desolate, cruel fate,
While #toiling to pave a path
Between the grief, the greed, the wrath.

#firewords280

Welcome, welcome, one and all
To this bold and thrilling show.
A display of hopes and dreams,
Often acted to extremes.
An event that mimics art,
Ruthless for the faint of heart,
Where every #act you’ll need to dare
With fiery fearless flair
Unless it all ends in despair.

#vss365

The #synergy of frame and mind
Is, for some, still undefined.
We either behave out of measure
And let one part sink in displeasure,
Or we ignore both of the sides
While we flow on wanting tides.

#firewords280

There’s been a breakout, down at the zoo,
As weasels keep popping out of the blue.
All around town, #sycophants rise
On crooked ladders, made out of lies,
And shift the balance of power out of sync
By binding unfitness and prowess in a deceiving link.

#vss365

Trapped behind anguish’s bars,
We gorge ourselves on cheap cigars,
And walk on dirty, empty jars,
Until they fade into our scars.
An #Infection as old as stars,
Which plagues this dying heart of ours.

#vss365

Their #venomous words you tried so hard to ignore, but malice reached your veins and spread throughout the core. Now every fibre’s going sore as you start to lose control. The heat begins to soar. Breathing is a chore. Can’t take it anymore. On the floor. You roar. War!
#vss365

A #roaring heart
Taken apart
By pain and grief
Of lost belief,
Is prone to fall
And lose control,
As its voice strives
While scorn’s shriek thrives.
