Phoenix of the Fractured Soul

-

Introduction: Strength is often forged in fire. This poem celebrates resilience, transformation, and the journey of rising from the ashes of pain into a renewed sense of self.

I smile with pride
When I gaze into her eyes,
Recalling how she moved on
From a life woven in lies.

She wept through endless days,
Faced sleepless, tortured nights;
Living in a realm of darkness,
Where even the sun lost its light.

Once so frail, she’d flee her woes,
Running from troubles that chased her way;
Yet now she stands, unbowed and strong,
Transforming pain into a brighter day.

Behold her now, fighting fiercely,
Braving storms with resolute grace;
Who could have believed that the weak
Could rise with such awe-inspiring pace?

I recall the trivial sorrows,
The tears shed for ephemeral things;
Now her eyes have hardened, unyielding,
Even as loss’s bitter echo rings.

Her resurrection from a bitter past
Is the anthem of her soul’s rebirth;
Days that stole her innocence and youth
Now fuel her relentless quest for worth.

In every scar, a tale of survival,
A testament to battles fought and won;
Her spirit, once fragile and fractured,
Now glows like the promise of the sun.

She’s learned that strength blooms from heartache,
And beauty arises from wounds once deep;
Each challenge meets her with steadfast resolve,
As she cradles hope she vows to keep.

Her laughter now echoes through silence,
A melody of hope amid despair;
No longer captive to her sorrow,
She soars above pain on wings of repair.

In the tapestry of her renewed life,
Every thread speaks of courage and might;
Shattered, she rebuilt her inner fortress,
Unbreakable in her unyielding fight.

💭 Reflection: Pain changes us, but it does not define us. This poem is a tribute to those who have faced the fire and emerged stronger. What moment in your life made you realize your own strength? Share your story below.

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. Poetic Forms: At Lyric Haven , I embrace a wide rang...

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...
