One-Sided Crush
I think this one-sided crush
will fade like the waves in the ocean—
loud when they reach the shore,
but forgotten as they fall back into silence.

She Was the Story, He Was Just a Page
He loved her
like the last day of autumn —
knowing she'd leave,
but holding on
as if his hands could change the season.
She wasn’t just a chapter —
she was the entire book
he never finished,
because he kept rereading
the parts where she smiled.
He built a world around her absence,
talked to her like she still listened
in the silence of 3 a.m.

A Double-Sided Coin: Playoffs
The roar of the crowd fills the air
The whistle blows, my heart pumping
Bucket for Bucket, foul for foul
A free shot soon to be coming
A needed break for the fans and players
As the game comes to a pause
The team devises their next move
A new perfect plan without flaws
A tense feeling overtakes the room
As the game

Ignorance
I hate how it always ends up like that.
How I get ignored for several hours.
And reply within a few seconds.
To think that you didn’t care as much as I do.
Engraves a sense of solitude in my heart.
I can’t call myself anything but a fool.
To hopelessly stare blankly at a screen.
How can I have these emotions,

Many-Sided Tests
Rest after trials and each test
Realize God in the training knows best.
So rest, rejoice and sleep with peace.
Let the Heart's Interpreter bring release.
Saviour Jesus, Father Spirit, Lord of all
Will keep you from a fall
And have the Love and Life's Music perfected for you!
So fear not weakness nor the tests to be true
Prize the Heavenly

Mazh Pahil Prem
Pahilyanda pahata kshani tula mi,
Kuthetari harvale…
Man tuzyat gahivarle…
Pratyek shwas bharavla,
Tu distach,
Majhya manatil pratyek disha unchavlya...
Vichar kela kadhi tuzyashi bolaycha,
Pan manatle bhav, kadhi jibhevarche shabd nahi tolayche…
Tu distach, mi lapayche…
Swatahla savarayche…
Vatayche kadhi konala kalal tar,
Ka mahiti swatahlya tyach kshani kase japayche...
Manala kase sambhalayche...
Shuddhshah, avaghe 5 varshe mi swatah la samjavat rahile...
Swatahsobat ekatech bolat rahile...

Raindrops and You
Droplets of rain softly fell on the field,
I stand under the roof's shield,
Waiting for you to make a move,
In the quietness, your words to prove.
The world is quiet, sky is grey,
In my heart, there's much to say.
Do you feel the way I do?
Each drop that falls, a gentle sign,
Wishing for you to look at mine.
In

The unsent message
Staring at the screen, a message unspoken Parallel universes whisper, 'what if?' unbroken Should I send it, or let it fade? A choice that echoes through the cosmic shade
What we have is amazing, a love so true But what we could have is tremendous, waiting anew A possibility that beckons, a chance to explore A

Sunspotting You
you’re bright
so dazzlingly, overwhelmingly bright;
you’re the sun that sears the sky and
all the earth can only stare
i want to hold you
to cup you in my hands
to feel your warmth between my
palms and see your light run through my fingers
for the rest of my life, i want to have you with me
to warm

Everything Is Two-sided
One minute there's laughter-
the coming, there are tears
hearts full of love can easily
be twisted in confusion
a glance or
a passing word to another-
could be easily ignored
or can stab quickly
through the soul
it only takes one moment
to bear a decision-
that could either heal
or shatter what's at hand
so, opine twice before
diving

The Lover's Leap
The Lover’s Leap
I know he never loved me.
If he did, he would have stopped me
Or taken me by the hand, the waist, the leg
And yet he dropped me.
He made me use my own two feet to run
To skip, to leap and run
To tasteless fantasies until my heart
And soul were gone and done.
I reached his

HE AND HIS PRESENT
After quite long I again saw those eyes
And it felt like there are still some butterflies
It was like my feelings got another rise
I lost one more time, from where it all arise.
I can see myself still desiring to wait
To just have a glance, outside the school gate
Observing your each giggle and every trait
How do I
