The Doughnut She Couldn't Eat
She stood staring,
the golden glaze glinting,
as sweet as her dreams,
but too heavy for her father's pocket.
With tears tracing paths down her cheeks,
she walked home,
hoping that one day,
the doughnut would be hers,
just hers to eat.
Eyes heavy with sleep,
that night, dreams danced
of a doughnut as grand
as a merry-go-round.
Round and round she spun,...

Doe's expedition
Doe could see the future,
bright and clear,
her intuition ringing like alarms,
and bells of happiness echoing in her heart.
"Follow the wise," she whispered,
those old souls with lessons to share.
It may sting today,
but it will heal the wounds of tomorrow,
saving generations from the sorrows.
In a thick haze, many stumble—
the humble might miss the truth,

Deep eyed DOE
Deep-eyed doe peered through the trees,
Curious about the strangers she saw,
Wondering how well they lived,
What stories they sheltered in their hearts.
If only she could glimpse their truths,
Touch the threads of their past words,
What hopes danced between them
In the silence of their gaze and the distance of their voices.
People would come, aski...

Timeless melody
The rain gently tapped against the window as Dorothy sat with a steaming cup of tea cradled in her hands. The aroma of the tea filled the room, beckoning memories of days long past. Sipping her tea, she gazed out at the drizzling rain, a soft breeze carrying the earthy scent of wet soil into the room.
Lost in reverie, Dorothy's mind drifted back to her carefree childhood, a time when the m...

Warmth of genuine connections
The books that fascinated me once,
now lie like relics,
pages turned to dust,
their spines cracked and weary—
no more keys to my soul,
just ink smeared like forgotten dreams,
words fading like memories,
the stories now whisper in a foreign tongue.
Places that once sparked my curiosity,
now wear a shroud of indifference,
their landscapes dull in t...

It's never too late
"Hey James, you okay?" Emily's voice cut through the static of his thoughts. He looked up from his phone, pretending to shake off the heaviness in his eyes. "Yeah, just tired from work," he replied, forcing a smile. But the image of Isabella's laughter echoed in his mind, as vivid as if she were standing right there in their living room.
James had met Isabella at a business seminar a few y...

Scrambled thoughts to serve
Let me write something today,
let's see what words flow,
like rivers carving paths through stone,
what thoughts dance in my mind’s open field,
which sentences need to do acrobatics,
twisting, turning, leaping into the air.
Let’s pen down a few words,
hoping they’ll weave a tapestry of sense,
for I stand here, a blank canvas,
with no blueprints,
no maps marked in ink...

Decoding
Now he takes me seriously,
each word that strikes
a chord of contempt and discontent,
finding meaning in the haze,
where shadows stretch and flicker,
the spectrum shines brilliant,
a kaleidoscope of whispers,
the maze an enclosure,
walls of thought closing in.
He tries to code, decode the answers,
navigating the labyrinth of letters,

A tapestry of time
It's a trail of events,
each moment passing by,
one after another,
unfurled like a movie screen,
projecting the essence of our days.
We catch glimpses,
the whispers of what’s to come,
blueprints laid bare,
scripts waiting to be performed.
But reality bites,
a vivid display woven into our lives,
the grandest tapestry ever seen,
where hellos and goodbyes

Needship
In this age of fleeting connections,
friendship wears a mask of needship,
the more you seek, the brighter the smile,
till the moment of need fades,
and the warmth turns cold.
People gather like moths to flame,
drawn by the glow of talent, skill,
a little love, a dash of fortune—
all essential ingredients
for a recipe of companionship.

Journey begins
All set and ready to take off, my spirit soars high,
Packed with dreams and ambitions, the essence of my soul's cry.
Unnecessary baggage weighs down my flight,
But I know deep within, they are part of this life's delight.
Through the quiet town, the car slices the dawn,
With every passing moment, the anticipation is drawn.
The airport's glow, a beacon in the night,

Haters aren't lovers
Where actions speak louder than words,
The killer masquerades as a saviour,
But their hands stained with blood betray them.
The deceiver weaves a web of lies,
Yet truth shines through in the light of day,
Revealing their deceitful ways.
Slanderer, with venomous tongue,
Cannot be the one who extols virtues,
Their malicious words a reflection of their own darkness.

Let there be love and light
In life we face trials, blunders, and strife,
Yet through it all, we learn and we grow.
Lessons divine, guiding us through this life,
Teaching us what we need to truly know.
Temporary is our time on this earth,
Seeking our piece of heaven above.
Nothing lasts forever, not even our worth,
But through it all, we find strength and love.
Let go of the past, mistakes and fears,

Awakened beauty
In a world of made-up lies she lived,
Like Sleeping Beauty, unaware of deceit,
Surrounded by shadows, whispers of secrets kept,
She sensed the air was thick with mystery,
The nights cloaked in darkness, hiding truths untold.
A restlessness stirred within her soul,
A yearning for the truth, for clarity,
She saw through the façade, felt the deceit,
Yet no one dared to sp...

My paradise, my room
In my room, my paradise resides
A sanctuary where peace abides
Through summer's heat and winter's cold
Its comforting embrace I firmly hold
Filtered air from heavens above

Day and night, a perfect blend
Joy and happiness, it does send
Mornings gentle, evenings cool
Afternoons, a warm, cozy pool

Slipperstale
Slippers are used variously,
A humble gift from Mother Nature's stall.
They cushion our steps and guard our toes,
As we journey through life's winding rows.
Bathroom slippers, we don in haste,
After a long day's slumber or a warm bath.
The soft terry cloth or fuzzy fur,
Protects our soles from tile's cold, hard sting.
Room slippers, too, we find their place,

Barking dogs seldom bites
In the dead of night, the dogs bark incessantly,
Their voices carrying a message unknown to me,
Perhaps a tale of longing or simply a plea,
Echoing through the streets, disrupting the tranquility.
As the night wears on, their barks grow louder,
A cacophony of sound, a chaotic shroud,
Piercing the stillness, as if possessed by power,
Their calls reverberating in the midnig...

Family and relatives, a tight-knit bunch we recall.
A bouquet of flowers, with colors so bright,
Roses, lilies, sunflowers, and tulips in sight.
Each one of us unique, with qualities unsurpassed,
Manners and behaviors ingrained, a bond that will last.
Doors and windows, holding both in and out,
Neighbours privy to stories,...

Letting go
They say let go
What's hurting
The pain and sorrows
In reality
I've to let go
The painful memories
Of words and people
Who led me to that hurt
So it isn't the pain
I need to let go
It's the people
And the hurtful memories
They left behind
That needs to be let gone
Letting go doesn't mean erasing
The scars they left on my heart
But rele...

WW III
Amidst uncertainty, we stand
Are we caught in a modern warfare grand?
Hidden weapons, lethal and unseen
A medical battlefield, so serene
Viruses and bacteria, silent foes
Mixing in wine, where no one knows
Bars and lounges, now battlefields sly
Promiscuous, where dangers lie
Adulterated food, water impure
Delicious yet toxic, of this we're sur...

A symphony of love, a sweet serenade,

With lyrics rich in true emotions,
Expressing feelings, a heartfelt devotion.
Intoxicating dreams that softly call,

Days of darkness, overshadowed by light
Hatred fades away, love prevails
We are guided by the right kind

In the eyes of judgment, she stands broken,
Fractured pieces of a shattered soul,
Betrayal's blade carving deep within,
Her spirit languishing, lifeless and dull.
They assume she waits, for a miracle's touch,
A return of the one who left her behind,
Yet haunted by memories, she's ensnared,
In a web of longing, that refuses to unwind.
Accused of deceit, her success...

When done with sincerity, our hearts pure and free
Our souls, untouched by impurity's blight

Revealing the truth of his actions all along.
He rejected her, oh how he did wrong,
Admitting now, his intentions were long.
A better bargain awaited him, it seems,
A love of convenience, built on false dreams.
Approved by all, his friends and his kin,
Justifying his rejection, a twisted scheme.
He painted her as a crea...

In its place, a clarity begins to bloom

To my soul and my heart, love remained unknown,
Unseen, untouched, its essence not shown.
Until the day our paths intertwined,
And I met you, a love undefined.

What love truly meant, where it would ascend.
It wasn't until our paths diverted, my dear,
That love's true nature started to appear.

There're judgments that swiftly flows,
They tell her, what do you see in him?
They tell him, what do you see in her?
Attempting to project their unworthiness,
Their insecurities on others they impose.
Like puppeteers, they try to instigate,
One against the other, fueling the flames,
Searching for trivial mistakes to expose,
As if skeletons won't tumble from their own closets.

So he cleans his fields first and pours the right amount of water
When he feels the fields are ready, he starts ...

Where we're all thrilled, finding our rightful place.
