Blows swiftly
Beyond boundaries
Beaches and land become cool
Beautiful feeling, although invisible
Beats the heat,spreading around
Blows across miles
Brings the nicest feeling, when at the beach
You can love a person
by not losing yourself;
And I have learnt it recently
after losing myself several times
for that one person I loved,
I still love, will love:
Rajeev, my second one,
after my first love died.
We went through separation several times,
life tested us, and we abandoned each other a thousand miles
metaphorically and physically too
and the mental distance continued.
Yet life brings us together again to check
maybe what's the maturity streak!
Have we learnt to love by keeping the boundaries too,
Or is it just another test and subscription renew?
This time I will not fail in this test,
I will choose myself first
and then will do the rest for my love's sake.
Yes, you can love someone
and still can't lose you!
You are the brave, the great, the beautiful,
you are always the first lover of you.
You can love someone,
but if they unlove, unfriend or disdain,
you should never afford to lose you.
Almighty always wants you to sustain
with the beautiful soul you are being given,
and should not lose yourself by anyone's disdain.
I don’t want to
Why?
Because I just don’t want to
It’s not because I can’t
Its just plain and simple
I don’t want to
Grey, hairy, beady eyes,
Scuttling away, spinning,
Webs of perversion,
Sticky tendrils wrapped,
Around my walls,
Breaching boundaries,
Like Halloween romp,
Long held fears,
Diverse, scary feelers,
Sqirting surface spray,
Their mandibles merge,
Guess we're all human,
But loathe spiders and pimps.....
The final, phosphorescent
water slows,
To weave a microscopic lace
of white,
A meditative riverbed that
flows
Beneath the omnipresent
stars of night.
The tide returns to where it
first began,
To heal the jagged, deeply
broken floor,
To wipe away the enormous
life of men
And soften the crinkled
of the ocean.
It is a perpetual, primordial
design,
An everlasting victory over
death,
Traced softly by a entwining
line.
The wave dissolves inside the
open sea,
A brief snapshot of pure
infinity.
a disc of light above our head rotates
divinity with body-mind entwined
below jugular notch a node pulsates
higher heart from where deep truths are divined
if we stand erect, with God’s light aligned
label not this light as we did the sun
ocean, earth, fire, air and sky, all are one
Here I am,
still battling on,
despite all I've had to face.
Slowly rebuilding,
my confidence and pride,
as things finally start falling into place.
Here I am,
reclaiming my power,
taking the reins of control.
Finding the courage,
to create a life,
Where peace and happiness line my soul.
Here I am,
sharing my poetry,
writing from the emotions I can't contain.
Unaware just how much,
healing it would bring,
By creating purpose from all my pain.
We both know I'll pick you, win or lose. I'll pick you even when you refuse because at this point, it's obvious, your only dating her just to not date me because we're complicated and her, she's the safest option but it's easy to see when it's just you and me, no one can come in between. And even she knows that. Your last two girlfriends did too. We have that undeniable chemistry, we act like there's no one else in the room. We have staring contests just for fun like you're not dating anyone. You said that you wanted someone, funny how that someone's never me. You're running away because you're emotionally unavailable and you don't want me to walk away so you just dangle the bait in front of my face every single day instead of just coming out and telling me if you like me or not. Your girlfriend even told you that I liked you and you couldn't resist but bring it up to me so I said "no comment" but all the proof you needed was my red face and what's surprising is you didn't reject me like you did a year ago because you have no boundaries and I'm an overthinker. That's why this is happening. We're the same but different.
I stepped away,
afraid they'd feel the gap—
but the space
mended me,
and that
mended us.
When you go beyond the boundaries of fear,
you discover a new 'you',
and instead of drifting through life aimlessly,
you will discover a new purpose for living,
a new zest for life,
a new reason to embrace each magic moment.
When you go beyond the boundaries of fear,
you discover a new 'you',
and instead of drowning in a sea of lost hope,
you will discover all things are possible,
find reality in all your dreams,
see doors of opportunity burst open before
your eyes.
When you go beyond the boundaries of fear,
you discover a new 'you',
and instead of playing life safe,
you will discover the rewards of thinking
outside the box,
taking chances,
facing challenges and reaching for your
ribbon in the sky.
Success will become music to your ears.
He wore the Robe—of solemn Thread—
I wore my Soul—inside—
His Words were Beads upon a String—
That Heaven—might Divide—
He spoke of Grace—as if it grew—
In Gardens—known to Him—
While I—behind the Chapel Door—
Heard Angels—sing his Hymn—
He prayed for me—a gentle Choice —
That Mercy—might forgive—
I prayed for Him—that he might learn—
What it is—to Live alone—
Between our Knees—a Silence fell—
Too Holy—to explain—
For he had God—and I had Doubt—
And both—believed—in Pain—
Love is not a siphon, not the slow hiss
of your breath leaving your body
to fill another’s hollow chest.
It is not the night you stay awake
listening for the sound of breaking—
the cup, the heart, the spirit.
You were born with your own fire,
your own name in the dark.
No vow ever meant surrender of the soul.
When they call their rage a sickness,
you may understand, but you must not drown.
Love does not bruise, or barter, or beg.
It does not take what cannot be given.
Pain is not proof of devotion—
you are not their cure, nor their mirror.
Step back into the light.
Your being whole is not self betrayal.
Take Care of Yourself.
Embrace the incredible responsibility of your own life!
Spread kindness, and do good wherever you can.
If someone mistreats you,
remember to walk away and set boundaries.
May the warmth of these thoughts bless you.
May the stars fill you with wonder,
So your days overflow with peace and abundance,
and may the gentle spirit within you cherish Earth!
A road of love we dared to tread,
Like rivers flowing side by side, yet apart.
My heart burns true, a steady flame within,
But destiny denies the path we dream to chart.
Like stars aligned in the cosmic weave,
I love with a heart both honest and wide.
Entwined with fate, our canvas gleamed with bliss,
Yet destiny whispers, we cannot abide.
In hush and rush the journey unfolds,
Gentle and harsh, like the waves of the sea.
Love’s fire flickers with honour and beauty,
A tapestry woven of sorrow and glee.
Like morning mist that shines, then fades,
The sun’s warm kiss lingers—then is gone.
I could not walk with you to life’s last grave,
Nor lift my foot to the aisle we longed upon.
Each day holds countless possibilities
only imagination can sets boundaries and barriers
~ break free from your cage
