The Ink of Parting

The Ink of Parting
by: Jargue, Kathleen Joyce O.


Moonlight's soft glow, shimmer tears silvery,

Weeps for long lost love, turns to misery.

His shadow hums in whispers through the tide,

A name half-formed that will not be denied.

 

The aching winds consume her fleeting breath,

Each sigh a vow that binds his soul to death.

No dawn can heal the void his absence made,

For even stars retreat to darker shade.

 

The sea laments with cries of sorrow deep,

And rocks recall the vows he swore to keep.

The night, a tomb that locks her broken plea,

Enshrined her heart with chains of memory.

 

Trusting the winds will guide him to her shore,

To bring the dawn her heart has longed for more.

Till then, she watch the waves in endless flight,

And guard his ghost within her souls dim light.

Whispers in the Gray

Whispers in the Gray  By: Mark Francis Tegio   Caped with lonesome smoky, gray-blue clouds,  Its musky-scented, bubbling waves— dark shrouds,  Wrap around silent thoughts in cold caress,  Drawing mem’ries of my love’s lost embrace.  Shadows whisper truths I hide in fear,  Echoes of what my heart holds ever dear.  Though silence binds my chest in somber thread,  My soul still seeks where hope can be outspread.  A winding trail ascends beyond the night,  A beckoning dream, a radiant, guiding light.  Though tempests rage and shadows block the way,  My spirit stands, unbroken by dismay.

Horizons Unwritten

Horizons Unwritten by: Kathleen Joyce Jargue  I kept fighting, even as the battle tore me apart—shattering me, piece by fragile piece. And in the silence between the chaos, I whispered to myself: “Is this still worth it?” “Is love still worth the war… when I’m the only one bleeding for it?” “Is it still worth holding on to someone who never once reached out to hold me back?” In that fleeting moment, I realized I’d rather sail without a map. No longer holding back—just letting go and casting myself into the unknown. I thought it would be hard to sail on my own, afraid I might lose my way. But little did she know, sailing without a map would lead her to clearer skies—skies carved by her own hands. Now, I have found my peace—not in certainty, but in the fierce conviction of choosing myself. And in that choice, I carry no regrets—only freedom. Though it hurts to close the chapter you were once a part of, the ink of goodbye still stains the pages of my soul. No longer bound by...

The Sea Remembers

  The Sea Remembers   Caped with lonesome, smoky, gray-blue clouds Its musky-scented, bubbling waves—dark shrouds, Wrap around silent thoughts in cold caress Drawing mem’ries of my love’s lost embrace.   The twilight waves move slow through silver mist, Each mournful tide by moonlit sorrow kissed. They call me back to where your presence lay, And sing the ache of love that slipped away.   The restless deep resounds with hollow cries, Its haunting song repeats our last goodbyes. Yet every tide still speaks of your caress,                                                                  A gentle ache my soul cannot repress
