You resist for a long time,
trusting infinity,
but the time passes as such,
without any conclusion,
the whole track gets repeated.
In this direction, each millisecond
is given due consideration,
you start staring at the stopwatch,
internally you burst,
conclusively your
whole interior breaks out,
consequently, all in all, it leads
to misery and dread...and life goes on!

She voiced faintly,
set yourself free,
it was not a willful misstep.
The inmost being echoed,
I will,
but what about the
damage it left behind?

-

that, being so humane,
candid, and soft-hearted,
you would still endure such
anguish, torment, heartache,
and melancholy.

Load of stillness -
When you reflect in
fleeting moments on your quest
of life and uncover that it has been years,
and you're reliving the
same echoes,
stirred by the same internal tides,
and still frozen in time,
you start questioning
yourself—is this the result
of your insane decisions,
or was it destined?
This shade of fragmented
reality in your mind is
enough to make each
moment of your life consumed
by mind unrest and soul static!

“I don’t consider many
days worth celebrating,
but I just want to remind
you that—even though
you’re my family—you’re
also my ride-or-die friends.”

As radiant as your humble brilliance,
your words touched my soul
positively—perhaps unknowingly
to you—despite being brief.
It felt as if rain had fallen in the desert.
Although it might be ordinary
for you, for me it was nothing short
of a positive force, a guide, and a motivation.
Being in your presence,
and witnessing your perception,
felt so energizing—like a streak
of light in darkness, guiding
the path.
To be honest, after entering this college,
I was completely puzzled—
are teachers like you here even real ?
(Because many times I felt traumatized
because of the teachers at
this college, with only a few exceptions.)
But you reignited my hope.
My words aren't enough to
express the gratitude, love, and respect I hold
for you.
I wish you a life embraced by
inner calm and outer loveliness.

In this realm, where people
are competitively radiant,
indeed, you truly are the one.
Even so, it is uncommon to find
a person adorned with inner
beauty and outer charm alike.
With all certainty, anytime I see you,
a single thought drifts through my mind:
"Literally, she's the one whose inner beauty reflects
on her face, and whose purity
sparkles in her eyes."
After a stretch of quiet years,
I felt nostalgic, sensing a trace
of the fragrance of my unforgettable teachers.
Words alone can't convey the depth
of my admiration.

The only creation in
nature capable of
fulfilling the needs of
the womb-bound soul.
She cares for each slight
and significant
move to safeguard
the soul,
taking
each breath and step
mindfully for wellness
of her child.
Certainly, this
rhythm of action
of selfless devotion is eternal!

When I was a kid, I used to write,
sometimes the moments were sad
and sometimes bright.
Today it was like I would start with my best,
next day it was like, now I have to rest.
From capturing the happiest moments
till recording the tearful episodes,
my stories turned into my friends.
I chose my diary as my bosom buddy, which
I never found shoddy buddy.
Whenever I stitch the melody of my days,
flip the pages with praise,
it just lets me visit my childhood like a haze.

Most often, I feel burnt out due to something
in my life that triggers me deeply. Whenever
it turns in a negative direction, no matter how
much I try to stay determined, that one point
overwhelms me terribly.
Usually, I try to control myself, and I manage it for
a while, but time and again,
I feel like the dusky veil of grief, desolation, and
restlessness—woven into the fabric of my soul—courses
through every fiber of my body, filling each limb with
its weight.
As such, I keep on squandering my
precious moments in regret.
