Heart of Stone

He built his dreams with fire and steel,   Through sweat and pain, through grit and will.   His path was carved with silent nights,   A war he waged beyond the sights.   But love, so sweet, so soft, so near,   Whispered dreams into his ear.   A choice was placed upon his chest—   His passion’s flame, or love’s request.   He turned away from burning light,   Held her close, embraced the night.   Yet soon he found, to his dismay,   Both love and purpose slipped away.   For goals demand a heart of stone,   And love still longs to call its own.   To chase one means to lose the fight,   To hold both tight is rarest might.   So walk the road with eyes aware,   Choose with wisdom, choose with care.   For once you drop what makes you whole,   You lose the fire—and lose your soul.

Achieng

In the heart of Kadongo, bold Achieng reigns,
With a spirit fierce, she shuns compassion's chains.
Her stride is strong, her gaze intense,
A belief in strength, devoid of pretense.

She scoffs at kindness, deems it a flaw,
In her world, toughness is the only law.
Compassion, she claims, is a feeble trait,
For those who lack the courage to dictate.

But beneath her facade, a tale untold,
Of scars and wounds, hidden from behold.
For Achieng, too, once yearned for grace,
But life's harsh blows hardened her face.

Yet in the depths of her guarded soul,
Lurks a longing for kindness to make her whole.
But pride, a barrier she cannot forsake,
Keeps her from the solace that compassion could make.

So she stands firm, in her fortress of might,
Ignoring the whispers of empathy's light.
But deep down, she knows, in her silent retreat,
That compassion's embrace is what she truly seeks.
