An outsider
Isabella sat across from James as he poured out his heart to her, venting about the difference in opinion with his friends and family. Isabella listened patiently with an unbiased mindset, not interrupting or passing judgment as he spoke. She wanted to understand his perspective, to truly see things from his point of view.
As James continued talking, Isabella couldn't help but reflect on his wo...

New beginnings
Isabella had been looking forward to the new year weekend for months. She had big plans to throw a party at her friend's house, and she had invited all of her closest friends. She wanted the new year to start off with a bang, and she was determined to make it a night to remember.
As the night of the party arrived, Isabella put on her favorite party dress and made her way to her friend's house. ...

Mother's love prevails
Isabella had always been a strong and selfless woman, always prioritizing the happiness of others over her own. She had accepted the situation years ago when James had married Emily, knowing that it was the best choice for him and for his family. James had always been an obedient son, and Isabella knew that his mother's happiness was intertwined with his own.
The matriarch of the family, Jame...

An eye opener
James sat at his writing desk, pen in hand, hesitating. He knew this letter would change everything. After months of constantly trying to salvage their failing relationship, he had finally come to the realization that there was no hope left between him and Isabella. And now, as he put his thoughts onto paper, he could feel the finality of his decision sinking in.
He took a deep breath and ...

Lady on her own
In days of youth, I longed for tender bliss,
A mother's arms to cradle and console,
But now, beyond the years of childhood's kiss,
I've shed the need for such a gentle role.
No more shall I be swayed by false display,
Those women who feign love to learn my tale,
Then cast me off, my trust they do betray,
A comedy, a farce, a twisted tale.
For I am not a puppet on ...

Happily ever after......... 💔
James sat alone in his dimly lit living room, the silence engulfing him like a thick fog. He couldn't shake the feeling of regret that consumed him every day. His thoughts were constantly plagued with the memories of Isabella, the woman he had betrayed for the love of another.
He thought back to the day he had first met her, her beauty so profound that it had left him speechless. Isabella was e...

Prayers for strength
Isabella cried out to God to remove James from her life forever. She couldn't imagine living with a man who had destroyed her heart, soul, mind, and career. Someone who was immature, easily influenced by others, and who had chosen to prioritize everyone over their love. She couldn't bear the thought of being with him, even for a moment.
Isabella had endured enough pain and heartache by James. S...

Bittersweet moments
Isabella sat on the edge of her bed, staring at the envelope in her hands. It was addressed to James, and it held the letter that would put an end to their relationship once and for all.
She had thought over her decision many times, going back and forth in her mind. But in the end, she knew what she had to do. Some relationships are just not meant to be, no matter how hard we try to make them w...

Hands of time
James sat at his desk, staring at the blank white sheet of paper laid out in front of him. He sighed and ran a hand through his hair, trying to gather the courage to write what he had been wanting to say for years. He knew what Isabella's response would be, but he still had to try. He had to reach out to her, even if it was just through a letter.
They had been good friends, inseparable since th...

The hidden enemy
The devil is always at work,
Relentlessly seeking those who resist,
He despises the ones who don't befriend him,
Always yearning for their souls to persist.
He tirelessly schemes, with twisted delight,
Creating rifts between family and friends,
Planting seeds of discord and discordance,
In every encounter, his malevolence extends.
The devil is relentless, pursuing your life,
Until you...

Early years
Growing up in a luxurious mansion, Isabella felt as though she was living in a fairy tale. From the moment she opened her eyes in the morning to the time she went to bed at night, everything in her life was taken care of by her loving father and the numerous helpers that worked at their home.
The mansion was a sprawling estate, with beautiful gardens and picturesque surroundings that seemed lik...

Dance of life
He could have told her
That she's going to be poisoned,
Warned her of the lurking danger,
But instead, he chose to keep it a mystery.
He watched, as if a cruel puppeteer,
The poison's slow dance within her veins,
Content to let it unfold onto her,
To see her fate unfold as it comes.
With a twisted smile upon his lips,
He reveled in her obliviousness,
Playing games with her fragile he...

Safe haven
In a haven where solace is found,
Where familiar faces surround,
No harm can ever dare draw near,
For God's protection is always here.
Once again, peace claims its abode,
In heart, mind, and soul, it bestowed,
Slumber filled with harmonious tune,
Dreams of everlasting bliss commune.
Hearts content, tranquil and serene,
Releasing the past, forging a new scene,
With confidence, towards...

One last time
Isabella lay in bed, her mind racing with thoughts of James. She couldn't seem to shake him from her mind, no matter how hard she tried. The memories of their time together played on a loop, and she felt her heart aching for him. She knew she needed to make a decision, to find a way to put a stop to this constant turmoil.
Their parents were against their relationship, citing their different bac...

Scarred love
Can relations go back to how they were,
Deep, calm, filled with joy and happiness?
Once they are hit by storms of mistrust,
And they shatter into uncountable pieces.
The heart, once whole, now broken and scarred,
A rift formed by words that struck like blade.
How can trust be mended, once so hard,
No matter how one tries to heal the fray?
The past, the innocence, now a distant dream,

Blast from the past
Isabella sat in the silent garden, surrounded by the beautiful blooming flowers and chirping birds. She was lost in her thoughts, reminiscing about the past and the loved ones who were no longer with her. It had been 20 years since her uncle, her father's brother, had passed away. His sudden death had left a huge void in her heart and in her family.
Her uncle had been a kind, loving and generou...

Patience
Patience and Isabella were nearly interchangeable in the minds of those who knew her. To her, patience wasn’t a virtue to be practiced, but rather a part of her very being. Life had trained her in such a way that she had learned to let things unfold as they were meant to, without trying to force or rush them in any way. She had come to understand that nothing in life ever happened exactly as one d...

Mysterious message
As Isabella embarked on her new beginnings, she could feel a sense of excitement and wonder. After years of feeling lost and unsure of her path in life, she had finally found the courage to take a leap of faith and start anew. And as she began her journey, she started to discover more of life's hidden gems.
With confidence, courage, and enthusiasm, Isabella dove headfirst into her new life. She...

Hope, I'm not too late,
On time, I've still made,
Reaching just now,
For guidance true, I vow.
Letting you know, that decisions,
Are yours to take, with utmost precision,
None hold the key, to the locks of future,
That's waiting for thee, though I ain't a preacher.
Looking back in time, You will realize,
You never made any decisions wrong, so precise
On that spot and at that time,

New Beginnings
Isabella had always believed that life was simple. She thought that it was full of happiness and heartbreak, love and loss, beginnings and endings. But she soon learned that life was much more complex than that.
She had always been a bright and bubbly person, always eager to take on new challenges and experience new things. But when her heart was broken by the one person she thought she could t...

True love
Isabella had always known that she was trapped in a golden cage. Her wealthy parents had raised her to be a proper lady, to never stray from the path that was set out for her. But Isabella was not content with a life of luxury and conformity. She yearned for something more, something real.
And then she met James. He was unlike anyone she had ever known. He was wild and free, with a heart full o...

I'm glad our paths are clear
You have chosen yours
And I have decided on mine
Both of us are doing perfectly fine
I'm glad we are on our way
Moving along the paths chosen
Doing what's necessary to stay on track
Making our best efforts to reach their fast
I'm glad our paths did cross once
And we chose to on treading the one's before us
Not everyone we meet

Entangled soul
You have woven yourself
In a web of complicated relations
Your feelings are all entangled
Between false and true beliefs
You aren't able to rid yourself
From the complex emotions you're breathing
Your tapestry of love
Isn't an easy design to see
You have knitted everything
That pleased your heart and soul
You can't find a way out anymore
As it's inbuilt within...

Colours of life
Your canvas of life,
A tapestry of hues,
But alas, it is stained,
With the colours of fear.
No matter which palette you choose,
No matter which brush you hold,
The final outcome remains,
A blend of dread and anxiety.
Oh, how you long to paint,
With colours of relationships,
Blending happiness, prosperity, and peace,
But alas, the canvas resists,
Fear's hues seep through,
Tainting ...

Canvas of fear
Your fear is real,
You aren't daydreaming,
It's a reality you breathe,
Ever since you know life,
All you understand is fear.
It'll keep coming back to you,
Haunting you day and night,
In every new face you meet,
Every hello of a stranger you hear,
Nothing but fear will generate.
With the one you love intensely,
Your trust is coloured with colours of fear,
No matter how much you try...

Wise fools
There's no connection of any kind
Neither good nor bad
We've created our own paths
Past is a closed chapter altogether
But lessons that we learn from history
Helps us solving life's hidden mysteries
Healing comes when we wish to heal
Remembering the situations that caused wounds does help
We analyze better and let's us to introspect
Refining ourselves and defining what's done

Staying away
There's no need for a reunion,
Some relations are better from a distance.
I'm not praying to be back any soon or later,
Toxic-turned people and situations aren't any better.
Keeping a healthy heart is preferred,
Than letting malice, hate, and envy reside within.
Corrupting our souls with ugly thoughts and feelings,
At daggers end continuously with each other.
You stay where you are, th...

I'll always be here
In the midst of darkness, when light's out of sight,
When all seems shattered, broken in the night,
Just delve deep within, where your heart resides,
And you'll find me there, a constant by your side.
In moments of loneliness, when no one is near,
When friends and kin have faded, out of here,
Simply place your hand, tender on your chest,
And feel my words beating, trying their best.

Walking on egg shells
It's not my freedom I bartered,
It's my self-respect and self-esteem.
I do care to preserve and keep,
Instead of letting it be slaughtered.
By people who gaslight and insult.
Gaslighting has its pros and cons,
With its twisted ways it brings out the worst,
In the person being gaslighted,
But it also exposes the one who gaslights,
Their character, mindset, and torturous behavior,

Divide creates space
Don't feel guilty, don't be ashamed,
For it was meant to be that way.
Our paths diverge, untamed and wild,
While I remain shy and polite.
The tides can never meet the ebbs,
We're destined to wander separate shores.
You, born to roam and rejoice,
None can bind you, not even love's hold.
Dames line up, awaiting your embrace,
Their beauty vying for your attention.
Why waste time and ene...

Life's journey
In realms unknown, souls eternally stray,
No bonds of spirit to intertwine our way.
Journeys diverge, paths destined apart,
Our souls shall never meet, never restart.
Why did our paths cross, reason unclear,
To never be the same, that much is clear.
Destinations distant, forever apart,
Our souls destined to wander, never to restart.
Your duties await, responsibilities call,

Liberating souls eternally
I set you free, emotionally untied,
No moral obligations weigh you down,
No sins to bear, no karma to abide,
In freedom's realm, your spirit shall be found.
No longer shall you bear the weight of pain,
No guilt shall haunt your thoughts, your soul's delight,
For in this liberation, you attain
A peace that banishes the darkest night.
No vengeful thoughts shall cloud your gentle mind,

No loyalty, care, love, nor friendship decree.

Embrace the freedom found in love's embrace.

But not for love

For a patient in his family

He has recruited his agent doctors
Who will conduct surgery at a plea
Charging money for transplanting

Silence has a deeper meaning
If you dive down, you'll find
Precious pearls and gems
With hidden treasures
That adorns lack of words
Whether audio or visual

Each new level opens a new vision
It's not the shallow divers to attain
The divine charm that silence holds
It's golden, vibrant and intense
Close your eyes gently to feel it'...

Faded memory
Faded memories never hurt
Cause no pain, nor any strain
There's hardly anything in brain
Deleted, tattered tit bits remain
That finds no sequence and no trail
Voices from distance don't remain
Shady images of person's frame
Words obsolete can't retain
First hello, last goodbye
Promises or vices
Virtues nor letters
A past that's almost blurred
No love, no hate

Third part lies
Third party did this to me
And that
I'm so weak and sad
Although a man
But third party always overpowers
I'm a weak man
Can't cry and shed tears
I can only whine
And complain
Third party's threatening behaviour
Manhood isn't inborn
In some it's imitated
If real men lived near
So all would be same
But he's weak cos all around him are such

May emotions find a home

So they rightly understand
What's unsaid and what's unexpressed
May soul finds a home

Ironical
The more she smiles
The more he hurts her
The better she feels
The harder he kicks
As soon as she heals
He gives her a sickening pill
He wants her to smile
Only for him
He wants her to heal
Only to be with him
He wants her to feel good
So that he can feel her goodness
He sends advice
He sends friends
He tries to help
But ne...

It was all quiet
Suddenly there was silence
Not a leaf rustled
Nor crowd's hustled
After the storm hit hard

Night fell upon darkness
Without overshadowing light
It was the most pleasant feeling
The return of extreme serene
Clouds displayed vibrancy
And all that fell lay wherever they could be
Softness filled the air

Me, I, myself
Words so self absorbing
Obsessed about oneself
This is what we learn
In our materialistic world

With every rank and degree
Looking down upon others
Who were weak academically
Chapters evil imbibed by every child daily
Ego superimposed self respect
Difference between the two
Only wisest can construe

Sudden rush of queries
Storming the brain
Seeking answers
Yet unexplained
There're too many why's and what's

Analysing, critical thoughts
Introspection, retrospection going on

Both wrecking untold havoc
Either way it's demolishing prejudices and biased network

Setting priorities is wiser than setting boundaries

Tried fetching answers
My query still remains
And soul gently whispers
I need love
The love of creator
Parental love
Friends and family
Siblings and lover
What the soul craves for
Is it love that it seeks?
Or just doesn't want to be lonely?
"A soul mate true
With qualities and character
That's pleasing to creat...

Reigniting old flames
Trying to fetch what once was
A candle that burns within
Stitching the pieces back together
Undeleting all the words from screen
Memories that were burned by hate and envy
Weaving the tattered tapestry
Redesigning it all again
Finding the old threads and colours
Rebuilding the shattered trust
Red bricks for foundations attained

Slow but steady
Step by step
Day by day
Progress made
Eventually to rise
From stupor to gaze
Happy at heart
Smiling soul
A mind that's calm
Spirit awakened
Spirituality attained
Way by way
Road by road
Steadily walking
Never stopping
Till goals achieved
Word by word
Breath by breath
Prayers made
Reaching heavens
God's acceptance reigns

Spilling the secrets

Always moving ahead
What's within reach
Easily available and comfortable
Family agrees and everyone too
Best thing that can be pursued
Conditions all good
What's best should be pursued

Spectacles
What we see, may not be true
What we feel, could be wrong too
What goes around, may never return
Not everything is tit for tat
Everything appears green, when specs are green
Once we take off the spectacles, vision turns reality
It's all about our own perspective
Most of the time it's got nothing to do with others
Our own demons mess with our little mind

Messages like bitter gourds
Tastes dark and ugly
Not a letter that brings hope
Another weapon to wipe off
Every note received

What better to expect
Always spilling ink of negativity
Ranging from confusions to obscenity
Trying to keep the person in a loop
Of filthy excitement and doubts
