MASTERMINDS

Freedom comes with a cause 
A price to pay
Only the brave pay dearly 
Due to the danger of suffering 
Even when you're doing your best 
It seems like you've done nothing 
Due to denials and oppression from opposition.

To be a mastermind
You must master your mind
Knowing what you're made for or of
Then surrounding yourself with masters

The Day the Beast Lost

I woke each break with cast a shadow my chest,
a nameless weight that stole my needed rest.
It spoke in lies I dared not try to fight,
and turned the morning darker than the night.

I laughed in rooms so no one saw the ache,
while every smile felt brittle, thin, and fake.
It fed on doubt, on all I

Nature of The Beast

It stalks in silent corners of the mind,
a whisper, jagged, dark, and undefined.
Its claws creeps walls we dfy not show,
eyes ecstatic where our hearts should glow.

It scoff on mistrust, on every hidden fear,
gnawing at the edges of what we hold dear,
A silent growl underneath the laughing sound--
A truth too fierce to face the day unbound...

Yet

Broken

Never imagined an emotional blow
Could crush a bubbly gorgeous girl's world,
For whom the universe was an enchanting lore,
With bird's songs and flowers in the vase!

The garden turned barren,
The swing stopped moving,
Koels stopped cooing,
Roses lost their hue.

Sky no more looked azure,
Raindrops did not whisper love,
All she faced was fear and harshness,
No compassionate faces around.

With hurt, suffering

Courage, The Cowardly Dog

           Courage, lives in The Middle Of Nowhere,
                "there's something wrong here" — 
               the dog

Knew too much

Alberto Nisman didn't know the danger he would enter
when he looked into the bombing of a Jewish center
He said president Christina was hiding the truth
he had the goods, would soon show the proof.

He was supposed to appear in Congress, but hours before
Somehow hitmen got by his door
He knew too much, so bad guys move fast

The Journey Within

 
 “The Path towards REMEMBERING is not for the weak. It is priceless. Move inwards, without faltering & know that you are held.” Poet
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

journey within is strewn with jagged edges
    and jewels
both can lead to detours 
walking a straight and narrow path one 
      traverses own

there's no true lovers

there’s no true lovers
but just lovers who never change
               so at this party morning
                     we create a situation 
and you join

Broken but Bold

I was destroyed by life's rough edges, ruthless stones,
Shattered pieces lost in silent tones.
But from the cracks, a fierce new flame was born—
A strength that rose through every ache and scorn.

Each fragment became a ground edge,
the story of struggles fought and led.
Steady, resilient and standing tall.
I rise untouched-- stronger after all.

The marks I wear are

once upon a time

What if I read to you a story Starting  

once upon a time 

And you realised that is was your 

Life spelt out on every Line. 

Would you hear my voice and Wonder as it  

Brushed across each word and pray my Arms have the strength to hold the truth About your world

Salty Brine of Turning Tide

torrents of tears flowed
when he saw a sea dragon
beached dehydrated
for he knows that it like him
could only shed tears on land

the tears were salty
welling from bag of sea brine
in the ocean's blood
he harbored in his body
as fluid to bathe his cells

he needed to cry
but till now tears would not spill
weeping on ebb tide
to wash moribund

External Storms

External Storms 
Listen close, the winds whisper low,
A symphony of sorrow's ebb and glow.
Thunder rumbles, a beast awakening,
Heaven's own heartbeat, in warning speaking.
Pressure builds, unseen forces stir,
An invisible tempest, nature's curse. 
Silhouettes dance on lightning's flash,
Echoes of laughter turn to ash.
As shadows lengthen and tempests rage outside,
Within these walls, another battle wages. 
A heart laid

He was'

A man of sorrows, and familiar with such 'He was afflicted, he came to
His own ' yet they would not accepr Him
He was punished for their sins.'
Innocence was no protection.'

FRAGILE VESSEL
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Poem written for and submitted to “Broken But Bold Enough to Bounce Back” Poetry Contest, Anoucheka Gangabissoon, sponsor, August 11, 2025.

They gathered like shadows,
the character assassins~
their whispers their weapons, 
their glances a silent judgment,
truth twisted to fit their narrative,
a caricature of my spirit
painted in the hues of malice.  

I, a fragile vessel,
trembled beneath

Ashes To Resilience

I was born in the smoke of silence,  
where names were weapons,  
and love came laced with barbed wire.  

They said I was too much,  
too loud, too raw,  
a wildfire in a world of trimmed hedges.  

But I learned to speak in embers,  
to write with the
