Performance Poetry is poetry out loud; poems brought from the page to the stage.
Echoes of a Broken Promise
You promised forever gone. Forever slipped away. Like fading shadows. Shadows at dawn. The clock slows. Seconds feel heavy. Empty spaces remain. You’re not here. Walls whisper softly. Laughter now silent. Broken songs echo. Lost in night. I reach out. Ghost slips away. Vanished in darkness. Beyond my reach. Nights stretch endlessly. Dreams fall apart. Words left unspoken. Haunting my heart. Time moves forward. My heart freezes. Alone in silence. Promise finally broken. Memories cling tightly. Tears fall quietly. Hope fades slowly. Pain cuts deep. Love once bright. Now turned cold. Empty rooms echo. Lonely nights linger. Still I wait. Still I hope. Still I love. Still I ache.

The Boy Who Waited for the Moon
Every night, he climbed the hill. Not to wish. Not to cry. Just to wait. The moon, they said, had moved on. But he hadn’t. He carried an old coat, a quiet smile, and a name only he remembered. No one believed him that the sky once spoke, that stars used to listen. But he remembered her voice like music inside the silence. He waited. Not for magic but for the moment when memory outshines absence. And one night, the moon came back just a sliver, just a whisper. It didn’t say much. Just glowed the way her goodbye did. And that was enough to keep waiting.
