Beautiful Struggles

Marlon Salem Gruezo-Bondroff

In the crucible of existence, we forge our souls,

Anvils of adversity shaping us whole.

Life's chisel carves our edges, sharp and keen,

As we dance with shadows, unseen.

 

 

The sun kisses our scars, a mosaic of pain,

Each fracture a testament to battles fought in vain.

Yet, behold the beauty in our fractured hearts,

For strength blooms from shattered parts.

 

 

Storms rage, winds howl, and tides pull us under,

But we rise, phoenix-like, from the thunder.

Embrace the tempest, let it cleanse your core,

For resilience blooms in life's relentless war.

 

 

So let us honor the struggle, the ache, the strife,

For within those depths, we discover life.

In the crucible of existence, we find our grace,

Beautiful struggles etching lines on our face.

Two Hearts In Love

Marlon Salem Gruezo-Bondroff

In the embrace of love, two hearts find their true home,

Where whispers of dreams weave through the night,

Hand in hand, they traverse the unknown,

With every step, their spirits take flight.

 

Beneath the moon's gentle, silvery glow,

They share secrets only the stars can hear,

In the quiet moments, their bond does grow,

A symphony of laughter, a tender tear.

 

Through life's winding paths, they walk as one,

Facing storms with unwavering grace,

In the warmth of the sun, their journey begins 

Together, they conquer time and space.

 

 

Their love, a beacon in the darkest hour,

A light that guides them through the storm,

In each other's arms, they find their power,

A sanctuary, safe and warm.

 

In the embrace of love, two hearts find their true home,

Where souls unite in a dance so pure,

With shared dreams and unwavering support,

 

Their love, forever, will endure.
