Dr. Tanvi Latta Poem
A soothing wind caressed his cheek,
A lonesome tear threatened to flow.
Our gloomy champion deeply sighed,
Feeling crushed, down and low.
Life taking an unpleasant turn,
Had broken his fearless spirit.
Tests and trials of mounting stress
Challenged his will and grit.
Against the turbulent gusts of adversity,
His waning flame of zeal flickered.
Yet his gallant core fought back,
Emerging from the ashes undeterred.
Our fallen warrior gulped hard,
Wiping the lone tear with his sleeve.
He tightened his armor, sharpened his sword,
As the lion within him fearlessly roared.
Ready to tackle challenges head on,
His tenacity and will power prevailed.
Dodging all problems and obstacles,
His life-ship smoothly sailed.
If your life too gets harsh and tough,
Learn from our victor's inner war.
Put on your indestructible cape,
And be the fearless hero you are!

Dr. Tanvi Latta Poem
To eternity and beyond
(Dedicated to you M.S.)
And then there you were,
Standing in the sunset.
Looking perfect as ever,
Romeo to this Juliet.
I smiled and rushed down,
Dying to be in your arms.
Smitten by your bright aura,
And irresistible charms.
You are the idyllic answer,
To all my wishes and prayers.
Someone who's my confidante,
Unraveling my convoluted layers.
Stars that shine so bright,
Are the ones that burn the most.
A love like ours soars the skies,
And scales across the coasts.
Passion that burns within us,
Connects us at the core.
A once in a lifetime romance,
Has emerged from a lore.
This bond that connects us,
Is eternal, infinite and true.
We'll always be together,
My sweetheart I love you.

Dr. Tanvi Latta Poem
Tonight I looked up,
wide eyed and mouth agape.
The heavens glittered with stars,
making exquisite shapes.
The darkness all around,
tried hard to engulf their sheen.
But they flickered and
flaunted a spectacular scene.
In the dead of the night,
the sleepy town snored.
While a valiant hunter,
named Orion wielded a sword.
The mighty bull Taurus,
charged angrily around the sky.
And the Gemini twins edged close,
gleaming and feeling shy.
The beaming Polaris,
glimmered in the far north.
Helping the adrift voyagers,
to navigate, steer and sail forth.
Dancing across the heavens,
the shooting stars slowly wane.
Like diamonds falling slowly
from the zenith, making it rain.
The charming Venus smiled
coyly, making the stars swoon.
And had a heart to heart,
with the glorious full moon.
So, I gazed intently into the
infinity mirror of the universe.
Blissfully ignorant of the time,
I contemplated matters, deeply immersed.
A profound sense of calm
and bliss washed over me.
Allied with the magnificent cosmos,
I was tranquil and free.
If you glance above once,
you'll be blown away.
The alluring mysteries of universe,
will make you sway.
Whenever you lose hope,
look up and you'll know.
How trivial your issues are,
under the starry glow.
With one last peek,
I retired for the night.
Bidding farewell to the celestial
entities shining so bright.

Dr. Tanvi Latta Poem
There will be days when you'll feel sad and dejected,
You'll wish that you could be happy and protected.
Some days you'll feel depressed and alone,
And your only friend will be your phone.
Remember, if those days ever come,
And you're drowning your sorrows with rum.
Pinch yourself and open your eyes,
Look around, here so much beauty lies.
There are billions of people in the world to meet,
Experience the Himalayan cold and the African heat.
There is so much in the world left to explore,
Pack your bags and step out of your door.
The more you experience, the happier you'll be,
A stagnant life can be depressing you see.
Go on an adventure, travel to new places,
Try new food and meet some new faces.
Your happiness and peace of mind will return,
Your melancholy and despair would burn.
You get just one life, make the most of it,
Have fun, all at once or bit by bit.
You never know when the time comes to say goodbye,
So smile and enjoy life or in regret you'll die.

Dr. Tanvi Latta Poem
I used to be a very bubbly and talkative person...
Always cheerful and full of laughter...
Never thought before speaking...
Heartily expressed all my emotions...
Slowly things started changing...
People near and dear to me, started judging...
I was told to think twice before I spoke...
And I became more self conscious...
At times my voice went unheard...
And I felt hurt and heartbroken...
Some blatantly told me to shut up...
And I receded deeper within my shell....
When I shared my opinions with my loved ones....
They misunderstood me and fought hard...
My voice started getting softer and lighter...
Withering away in the gusts of wind...
Somewhere within, there is the original remnant...
Of my cheerful voice full of carefree laughter...
Lost within the maze of self doubt...
The happy voice is dying a slow death...
Silence has started to become my trademark now...
"See that girl? She's always quiet."
I am the silent girl now...

Dr. Tanvi Latta Poem
Slowly the long tiring day ended and the night fell,
A gloomy darkness spread as the clock struck twelve.
The graveyard looked eerie in the dim moonlight,
And a hand emerged from the grave on the right.
Decaying hands begin clawing through every grave,
It was a very creepy sight even for the extremely brave.
From the graves rose half decayed skeletons,
On seeing this spooky sight even the watchman runs.
The skeletons laugh and greet each other,
They re-unite with their father mother and lovers.
One shouts, "Today is Halloween, let's party hard,
Let's drink, dance and enjoy in our graveyard!"
So, the party started with music, food and beer,
Some were drinking and some were enjoying the atmosphere.
The skeletons laughed, danced and enjoyed all night,
But now it was time to return to their grave site.
They said their goodbyes and returned to their resting place,
They fall asleep waiting to wake up after next 365 days !

Dr. Tanvi Latta Poem
Our journey together has been like a roller-coaster,
Just like a movie, which is a blockbuster.
Together we spent good times and bad,
Nothing ever broke us and that makes me glad.
We smiled, chuckled and laughed together,
Cared deeply when one was under the weather.
We joked around and made fun of each other,
But in times of need, we stood by one another.
We also had our fair share of anger and fights,
But we reconciled and talked through the nights.
When our eyes meet there is an electrifying spark,
I love your company in sunshine and in nights dark.
Being with you has truly transformed me,
I've never felt so cheerful and content you see.
Being so far away from you feels so wrong,
But when we are together, we stand strong.
My feelings for you are deep and very true,
No matter where you are, I'll always love you.

Dr. Tanvi Latta Poem
She looks out the window, from her old rocking chair,
With wrinkles on her face and graying hair.
Every girl is close to their mother,
For me that special person is my grandmother.
This poem is dedicated to my grandma whose bond I share,
For everything she has done for me with love and care.
She was the one who taught me how to walk,
She also helped me in learning how to talk.
She was there to catch me during my first fall,
And was always present at my beck and call.
She was there to wipe away all my tears,
She gave me the strength to face all my fears.
Her soothing words calmed me when I was ill,
She waited for me to come back from school, on her windowsill.
She has done so much, yet she keeps giving more,
Endless are the things that I want to thank her for.
A grandmother's love is hard to explain,
It's full of endless joy, sacrifice and pain.
She showers me with all her love, hugs and kisses,
When she's alone, I'm the one she misses.
When I leave home, she blesses me placing her hand on my head,
And to her, I reluctantly say goodbye with a heart of lead.

Dr. Tanvi Latta Poem
You enter the shop,your eyes searching me
In the shelf,I try to hide
wishing that you won't see me
but your eyes light up with delight.
You spot me on the shelf.
"I'll buy this one", you say
satisfied ,you smile to yourself
but I know I'll spoil your day.
You take me to your sports car,
looking at me longingly with a smile
And I know now your death is not far.
You open my cap and take a few sips,
you feel the liquid pouring into your mouth
and I cringe when my beer touches your lips.
You smile and put me aside.
You start the car and increase the speed,
I close my eyes for I don't want this ride.
You open my cap for more you need.
You drink and drink and drink.
The car has now lost control,
and with beer you are filled to the brink.
You don't see the approaching pole.
Suddenly you swivel right,
and under the seat I dive.
I close my eyes at the crashing sight.
Alas,I have taken another life.
Two cars have crashed.
You smashed a newly wedded couple's car,
And now three lives have been mashed.
I can hear the ambulance siren in the far.
The cops find me hiding under the seat,
while the doctors declare the three dead.
People are now cursing me for my wrong deed,
saying I was the reason they were hit in the head.
I indeed am very guilty,hear my plea,
Please don't drink and drive.
If you from now listen to me,
It will spare yours and others' life.

Dr. Tanvi Latta Poem
It is a Sunday, still she wakes up pretty early,
She has beautiful brown hair, long and curly.
From her window she could see the sun rise,
Quietly she climbs down the bed rubbing her eyes.
She steps outside her house, breathing in the fresh air,
A cool breeze picks up at the shoreline and ruffles her hair.
The golden sand sparkles as the sunrays begin to fall,
Once on this same sand she used to play with her doll.
Slowly she walks down, till she reaches the sea shore,
Now everything looks even more beautiful than before.
She closes her eyes listening to the soothing sound of the waves,
And the distant squawking of seagulls in the nearby caves.
Soon she hears footsteps behind her and opens her eyes,
Her husband has also joined her to watch the beautiful sunrise.
He smiles at her and gives a peck on her cheek,
Nearby, a seagull dives catching a fish in its beak.
They sit on the sandy beach watching the rising sun,
And she feels glad to experience this with a loved one.
Soon a little girl also comes running down with a doll,
The little girl giggles playing with her hands so small.
She hugs her daughter and leans on her husband's shoulder,
Suggesting to go inside as the breeze gets colder.
Together they get up and walk back holding hands,
Humming a tune, walking barefoot on the sparkling sands.
She was very happy and content with her life,
She was glad that she got to become his wife.
A loving family and a beautiful house is accomplished by few,
For her it was quite literally like a dream come true!
