The Classroom Speaks
The walls lean in, murmuring secrets of weary days,
while chairs sigh beneath tired bodies.
Words from hollow lips strike like stones—
they refuse to soften, echoing in empty corners.
My lessons pulse with purpose, glowing faintly in the dust,
each one breathes life into silent desks.
They wait, expectant—hungry for curious eyes.
Even the blackboard leans forward,
eager to share every truth

Stress’s Silent Cry
Stress’s Silent Cry
I feel misunderstood, abused as an emotion,
They kick me aside, saying I hinder their motion.
It's not my fault, I was made to make you feel beat and defeated,
But if you ignore me, I call on my shadow, Pain, to be completed.
Now you’ll feel the world’s hatred,
But all I want is to be

My mercurial mind
Never at rest, ever restive
like shifting sands of the desert,
my mind is
a labyrinth of quagmires and booby traps,
you step on it
and you’ll either be sucked in
or blown to smithereens…
Going in is a child’s play
Coming out—
A gauntlet run!

Having Good Mindset Is Happiness
Happiness is a result of good mind
The hobby of joy can't compare with losing
The heart is tolerant but generous
Thinking others to share and respect
Stand to friends with sincerity
Soulmate not necessarily beautiful or talented
Understanding each other is precious
Life is not necessarily rich
It's good to be happy
Money isn't always having goodly house
But a home of understanding, respect

Poetry Is
Poetry
A whisper to a scribble
The pen scratches against the blank page
an odd and rhythmical pattern
Imprinted into one's soul
Leaving an odd sense of peace or turmoil
Lingering with a yearn
A yearn for something unattainable
Something supernatural
Words standing tall
Reaching and stretching- searching
Desperately trying to
Obtain the unobtainable
Failing time and time again
Only leaving an echo of the words spoken
Or the emptiness

Fiery frame of mindset
Be my guide
I’m sorry I lied
guilty passion got me
Compassionately free
Guilty pleasure
Is beyond measure
I will endure…I have a cure…
Memories inflamed, no lies
I came undone
You’re my sunset and sunrise
From dusk to dawn
You’re my Sagittarius and Pisces altogether
We are benevolent birds of a faithful feather…
I will get better, I am going to be better
If I get adequately

Church Walk
there is a place of deep repose
where chasing Christmas never goes
along a path of fallen leaves
where autumn’s warm late beauty breathes
- a timeless tranquil silent space
that keeps at bay those rats that race
and frees the mind from mindless talk
so thoughts can wander while hearts walk.

I AM A CRICKET
I'M A CRICKET
I feel like a cricket
Tucked away in the thicket
But with a brave mindset
to put up new verses
radiating with the rays
Of the sun that rises
in the deep west.
Indeed I'm a cricket,
So uprightly prostrate
Dressed and wingless
but calmly seated
On muscular hind legs
In my weakness strengthened:-
In bravery to escape.
In essence
I feel so great
Blessed with long legs
So hoarse

Choosing To Be Happy
As darkness falls
And the monsters creep out,
I have a moment left to ponder
Argue, scream and shout.
It’s been so long for me now
To feel a calming deep inside,
But I’m sick of running from myself
And I’ve nowhere left to hide.
The sun will rise on me today
With the glow on my skin, the warmth in my heart,

The Green Scene
Grass is green, they say it's true
But green ain't just a simple hue
Green's the colour, green's the life
Green's the struggle, green's the strife
Some folks green with envy's sting
While others green up everything
We green our planet, plant by plant
But some just green their pockets, can't you understand?
The grass is green on the other side
That's what they

A beautiful day begins with a beautiful mindset
"A beautiful day begins with a beautiful mindset"
Good and bad days, Depends on your mood.
A memory can stay, But the other ones is a whole different dude.
Beautiful memories, Beautiful days.
Better than royal treasuries, Can we visit them again?
Yes, we can, in our dreams and tales,
Relive the joy, the love, the laughter that prevails.
