Five Poems by Concetta Pipia

 

The Drizzling Dream

 

In the mystic maze of the mundane,

Where shadows shimmer and hopes abstain,

Positivity resides, though a fragile spark,

A whispering flame, igniting the dark.

 

Its roots entangled in the depths of dread,

Yet its bloom emerges, where fears have bled.

For in the realm of chaos and despair,

Positivity thrives, a resilient affair.

 

But demand it does, its price unseen,

An enigma vast, like a forgotten dream.

Frail, but profound, it defies the gloom,

Assuring hope blossoms, dispelling the tomb.

 

So let us seek its elusive glow,

Within our hearts and minds, may it grow,

And amidst life's opaque maze, let it gleam,

Positivity, the elusive drizzling dream.

 

 

tiny lens, tinier shutter

 

tiny lens, tinier shutter

click, click, click

the miniature photographer

captures moments of tiny delight

 

dressed in their minuscule attire

they prance and pose, never tire

each frame an ode, a little giggle

to their whimsical, Lilliputian life

 

one takes aim with precision

the other, a miniature vision

with a tiny camera, oh so dainty

freezing moments, oh how quaint-y

 

but alas, their tiny subjects protest

"enough, no more, we need a rest!"

though the tiny photographer insists

that capturing life is worth the risks

 

so they continue their little endeavours

clicking away, clicking forever

and as they capture their tiniest friend

a delightful miniature memory they'll send

 

 

Harmony's Embrace

 

In a world of chaos, seek peace's sweet embrace,

A harmony that whispers through the night,

With every heart, let love and kindness trace.

 

In turmoil's grip, we yearn for a safe space,

Where differences can blend, like day and night.

In a world of chaos, seek peace's sweet embrace.

 

Let tolerance and empathy replace,

The hatred that can blind us to the light,

With every heart, let love and kindness trace.

 

Through valleys deep and mountains we must face,

With unity, we'll reach new heights in flight.

In a world of chaos, seek peace's sweet embrace.

 

Embrace diversity, let love's grace erase,

The lines that separate us in our sight,

With every heart, let love and kindness trace.

 

The world can change if we all join the chase,

To end the darkness, bring the dawn so bright.

In a world of chaos, seek peace's sweet embrace,

With every heart, let love and kindness trace.

 

 

Love's Flight

 

Love is a bird, so small and fleet,

That flutters in my tender heart,

It rests, then takes to soaring high,

And from my soul, it will not part. -

 

With each beat, it brings delight,

And yet, it also brings despair,

Oh, love, you are a bird so wild,

That leaves me tangled in your snare. -

 

I hold you close, yet cannot grasp,

The essence of your mystic flight,

For love, you are a fragile thing,

That dances on the edge of night. -

 

But still, I find solace in your wings,

As they carry me through joy and strife,

For within your depths, I find myself,

And discover the true meaning of life. -

 

 

In the Echoes of Despair

 

In the weary city's shadowed streets,

Despair, a haunting melody repeats.

A rhythm of broken dreams, echoes unfold,

In every story left untold.

 

Hope, a distant whisper in the night,

Lost in the alleys, out of sight.

A dance of sorrow, a relentless sway,

In the heart of darkness, it holds its sway.

 

Faces worn, like pages weathered,

Tales of struggle, forever tethered.

Repetition, the song of silent cries,

In the depths of despair,

the spirit sighs.
