The City Where Poets Heal the Dawn
The City Where Poets Heal the Dawn Story-Poem of the Psychological Poets Society In a quiet hidden corner of the world, There lived a city woven not with bricks but with words— A place where the poets of the Psychological Society walked, Each carrying a lantern lit with thoughts, And a heart that tried every day to understand the soul.

The Lanterns of Quiet Words
Poetry does not arrive like thunder. It comes softly, like the lantern glow that spreads patiently through a dark room. In a small town where nights were full of silent stars, there lived a circle of poets who believed that words were not just sentences—they were pieces of the soul.

Floating
Floating in a sea of disbelief Itching for relief Stripped of every belief I once held dear Bereaved of my self Shucking the sleeve of my former reality
