The Alchemy Of Words

-



Introduction:  Words have the power to heal or to wound, to build or to break. This poem is a meditation on the magic of language—how a simple phrase can change a life, mend a heart, or leave a scar that never fades.

Words are like arrows, swift and strong,
They pierce the heart where they belong.
Sometimes fired through screens unseen,
Or whispered softly along the street.

Yet by the time we feel their sting,
It's too late—ache has found its wing.
A careless phrase can breed despair,
Leaving wounded souls in deep disrepair.

But words can heal as well as wound,
A tender balm in healing tuned.
They mend the broken, lift the low,
And help our fragile spirits grow.

Consider how a kind remark
Can light a flame within the dark;
It fills the cracks of life's worn art
And soothes the ache within the heart.

So, choose your words with mindful care,
For every phrase has weight to bear.
They hold the power to destroy or heal,
To break apart—or help us feel.

Let our voices echo kindness deep,
Through digital paths and streets we keep.
May every syllable we gently share
Illuminate hope and tender care.

When anger tempts, when tempers flare,
Recall that words can strip or spare.
They build, they break, they mend, they mar—
Each phrase, a wound or healing scar.

In every conversation, be aware
That every word we choose to share
Carries a truth beyond intent—
A power to uplift, to heal, to cement.

For in this dance of speech and art,
Our language mirrors our very heart.
May every utterance, soft and clear,
Bring peace to those we hold most dear.

💭 Reflection: Words carry power—whether written, spoken, or left unsaid. This poem explores the impact of language on our lives.

Welcome to Lyric Haven – A Sanctuary for Poetic Souls

-
Lyric Haven is more than a blog—it’s a sanctuary where words weave stories, and poetry breathes life into emotions. Each piece reflects a personal exploration of feelings and experiences, with the intention of connecting with readers on a deep and meaningful level. Poetry, for me, is not just about crafting verses but about forging connections with those who find comfort, understanding, and meaning in them. What Inspires My Poetry? Poetry, for me, is a way of putting thoughts into words—a form of self-expression that gives voice to emotions, reflections, and untold stories.  My poems come from a blend of both personal experiences and imagination. Some pieces will explore raw emotions, while others will weave narratives. Inspiration often strikes from the world around me—fragments of conversations, the hush of the night, the echoes of music—all of which find their way into verses that reflect what the heart often struggles to say.

Spring, Like Us

-
Introduction: “Spring, Like Us” is a soft meditation on the transience of beauty, peace, and joy. Using the tender image of spring petals falling on a window sill, the poem invites readers to find comfort in life's fleeting moments and appreciate their quiet strength. Like spring, we arrive, blossom, and fade—yet in our short stays, we offer colors, warmth, and wonder. The pink petals shower On the old window sill, Peacefully and gracefully— Soothing your mind, they will. A sense of euphoria, A tender breath of peace, The hush that blossoms bring Makes troubled thoughts cease. Spring just gets better As I soak in the sight, The sweetest of fragrances And colours so bright. They come after so long, But only for a while— Yet even in passing, They never fail to beguile. A fleeting beauty, A brief, gentle stay, But oh, the joy they scatter As they dance and drift away. Isn’t life just like them— So short, yet so bright? Still bringing smiles to faces After every silent fight. We bloom,...

Threads of Letting Go

-
Introduction: Some love stories don’t end with a storm—they fade like whispers in the wind. This poem captures the bittersweet journey of parting ways, learning to release the past while holding onto its quiet echoes. It is about love, loss, and the courage to let go with grace. We built a world with threads of dreams, Woven in whispers, soft as streams. But time pulls tight, and hearts must bend, For love’s long journey nears its end. The weight of goodbye is harder still, A promise shattered against my will. I hold your memory, close and tight, Yet now I must release this fight. I must learn, like petals, the art of letting go, Falling softly, without a sound, where wild winds blow. And like autumn leaves in colors bright, I too must yield to the changing light. Our love was bright—a fleeting, burning flame— Now flickers low; there’s no one left to blame. The echoes of us linger on, A silent song, now nearly gone. It tears at me, this cruel release, A heart that cries, yet seeks its...
