The Life’s At Hand

**_At the dawn of my existence,

All was a fresh canvas,

From the vibrant tapestry of the earth,

The wondrous grace of flora and fauna,

To the pure naivety of unseen shadows that roam the realm.


Life unfolds in beauty's embrace,

Yet harbors shadows in its dance,

At times, it glimmers like a cherished gift,

Only to reveal a heart of coal on Christmas morn.


Since the dawn of thought within...

Where The Mind Walks

They told you the sky was the limit,

But forgot to mention,

You were born wings,

Tucked beneath your doubt.


Imagination isn’t escape—

It’s return.

To place before fear,

Learned your name.

Before the world,

Boxed wonder into

“Real” and “not real”


Close your eyes,

and there it is—

A door with no key,

A field that bends to your will,

oceans made of music,

Mountains that speak of light.


You are the...

On Top of The World

In this mysterious world,

We often dream with words,

And retreat from actions,


In a world full of hate,

Yet, claim to desire love,

Peoples light get demolished,

Dismantled,

And in most cases,

Damaged,

Which most might never get the opportunity to have it reintroduced to them again.


We often dream of what it takes to get on top,

Feels like a long road trip,

With various obstacles to prevent us ...

Still Here

I woke up,

No sirens, no smoke.

Just light on the wall

And the slow stretch of morning.

A text: “You good”

I answered: “Yeah”

And meant it.

No headlines in my heart today.

Just breath.

Just Peace.

Still here....

To Reach The Finish Line

Amidst the veils of existence,

I’ve crafted dreams that seem attainable,

Yet,

Each time I strive,


it seems I grasp at the edge of my own undoing,

We slumber beneath the stars' embrace,

Toil with fervor as the sun ascends,

A rhythm unchanging,

A life in familiar refrain…


In the quest for triumph in this realm, Others may seek to cast your dreams into shadow,

Yet,

be the beacon that pie...

The Art Of Life

Amidst a mysterious and perplexing world,

Where comprehension is elusive,

On a cosmic scale where our individual journeys begin and end in solitude,


Each of us develops our own distinct personality as we navigate life's ups and downs,

through love and hate,

joy and sorrow,

tranquility and anarchy,

sorrow and anguish.


In the midst of all the mayhem,

we tend to lose sight of our true selves, ...

Love:The Fallen Star

With each step I take into this mysterious and foreboding world,

Because there is no other option, I wished to discover in this shadow how to discover the light.


After being in the dark for a long time, it is hard to see the light.


Until one day I caught sight of a twinkle—what appeared to be a single star in the cosmos—and, as it drew nearer, I realized it was more beautiful than before; I desi...

The Battle Of Good And Evil

As I stroll through journey we call life,

The harder it gets to contain my desires,

The desires of wrath, greed, pride, and lust are all so relevant in our society,


When I reflect through my life,

I’ve never been perfect,

I’ve never wanted to be seen as perfect,

But I have thought of some evil deeds,


These deeds circulate through my brain,

but haven't came to action yet,

These actions also make ...

The Time Speech Saved Me

*The psychopath is staring into my eyes.*

*The psychopath is filled with hurt and despair from dealing with pain in the real world.*

*He’s looking at me like a shark that has found his prey in the ocean.*

*It feels like I’m looking throughout the flashes in my life.*

*As I'm thinking of ways to get out of this trapped box.*

*The only thing I can think of is to preserve my life by speaking but, I h...

The Chaotic City

With streets lined with concrete roads and buildings reflecting the mayhem outside,

The city's days are growing longer by the day,

A growing and increasingly crowded metropolis,


This city's populace seems bewildered and disoriented.

Entirely devoid of meaning,

Without harmony or affection for one another,

And experiencing diminished happiness or contentment with their material possessions
