Premium Member Deprived Of Your Love
Life doesn’t feel the same, My Darling, Deprived of your passionate love, Each and every day aimlessly drags on, Each and every day feels dreary and treacherous! Days were joyfully enchanting, nights were supremely blissful, Never realized parting was so acutely hard! But came a time there was turbulence in The relationship, a dark cloud covered our horizon! My heart sank, tears uncontrollably...

Glib rhetoric concerned with striking independence may seem frivolous, nuanced rational quite often a typical traumatic casualty, the once interminable interdependent passionate zeal disintegrating in rapid spasms, a longing sated and mutually embraced by two compatible persons now collapsed, indivisibility transformed or transforming into invisibility and the direction sadly inevitable, aftermath of intensity level shock to pitiless essence, recovery initial...

Escapism
I slipped through reality, In a threadbare dreamscape, stitched with denial. Just when I thought, I was over it It came back to haunt to show me how I cannot escape if my mind doesn't They say faded memories don't taunt you. But when they do I leave everything behind Even my conscience to- Run away to hide in...

Premium Member Tragic
For tragedies we come together, Though not for long. The fire of intimacy Intimidates, chars fragile façades. Blood bonds over-stretched, Anemic. Silent months pass, when Tentative tentacles reach out, But do not touch. Reliving a past of life bond’s Dilution revived in hard times. The falsity of our closeness Buried in shared grief for a moment. Familiarity creeps in with Sinuous connective threads suggesting safety. Yet these are taut,...

Premium Member A Journey Into Transformation
War shapes the warriors it touches, leaving behind vestiges that linger in their lives long after the battlefield fades from view. In Recon Marines: Searching for the Real Enemy, we are thrust into the unrelenting grip of Vietnam's jungle, a landscape both indifferent and eternal. Yet the war waged in the depths of memory proves...

The Journey
The Journey Standing at this crossroads, I finally see How life shaped us through misunderstanding. What I once called betrayal was merely growth— Two saplings reaching toward different light. I trace the map of our journey together, Each weathered line telling its own story. In forgiving our mutual imperfections, I've found that love transforms alongside us. This is the wisdom life whispers: To hold each...

Pahalgam
The sky. Bows down, The great Himalayan. Making it beautiful For every dawn. Has disturbed The Pahalgam! What's cause? Which made it From resilient one, Into a crying noise! After a long run! The quiet lets Along the vast, Sarcasmed valley Within the peace, And of calmness. Has disturbed The Pahalgam! What's that? Marking great beauty, From the heaven, To a hell! Of the Earth!...

Premium Member Grief Never Leaves You
Grief never leaves you; memories keep loved ones close to your heart . Quote by poet. John and his young wife Maria had been apart for a year now, but every week he'd drive across town just to speak with her. On the passenger seat was a white rose, Maria’s favourite flower.  Their garden was adorned with them; they resembled...

Fate of the Moon
No moment ever felt this peaceful, Like the one I'd often meet. Almost daily, Sun and Moon's impossible meet. When you, like the Sun, were so bright, And I, like the Moon, craved your light. My presence was incomplete without yours. But for one thing! Moon only needed Sun's light in darkness, But I wanted yours in every light. Like the fate of...
