You cuss and swear words to the prostitutes. But, nobody will blame those brute men out there who want to satisfy their iniquitous lust. Why? Is that what being fair is?

The enticing promise of love awaits you,
But you stay aloof and shut your heart
Dreading attachment, holding it all back,
Wondering what if everything falls apart

Embrace that love with open arms
So what if in the future u have to depart?
At this moment, give it all of yourself
For loving with a broken heart is an art

-

Let hope be the chariot that carries you ahead throughout in life
Life without hope would be nothing but a strife
When the darkness of grief takes over, let the light of hope shine bright
With hope in heart and courage in mind, things always go right

Good days are on its way, hang in there
Rescue yourself from the ongoing despair
Let there be hope that you're exactly where you're meant to be
Believe me when I say that hope will set you free

-

Somewhere, someone else would also be adoring the sky; with the same ray of hope.

How farsighted we must be in this illusion of life,
Not knowing what'd come next to take away all the thrive
Life at a distance boasts its highs and hides its lows

But remember, it's easy to be thankful for the good things,
Fulfillment comes to those who are grateful for the setbacks
Gratitude holds the power to turn a negative into a positive
Find a way to be thankful for your troubles
A heart full of gratitude witnesses happiness double

You're the reason I admired and followed cricket
Loved the swag in your stumping, the way you took wickets
Glad to be a part of an era that witnessed a legend like you play
Finished matches in style, the absolute Mahi way
A great decision maker, what made you take this decision
I was still hoping to watch you play for seasons and seasons
My heart still wishes to watch you hit a six in the last ball
You're a legend, the king of cricket; for one and all
Retired without playing a farewell match
Left the Indian team, leaving our hearts scratched

-

With a more caring heart and
In a more careful world
We all will be together to face
nature's whirl
With new lessons and experience
once again we'll laugh and swirl
The gone won't come back
together we'll polish the life pearl
Losses will hurt forever
clutching our hearts in painful curl
But we'll rise again and let the negativity furl
With hopes, dreams and untamed passion,
shall we face the new normal

How'd you describe the feeling of falling in love?
Is it as exciting as walking through a forest and realizing a waterfall is nearby,
Or as rejuvenating as the cool breeze touching your face as you go by,
Is falling in love as serene as watching the diamond-like raindrops
fall on the thirsty leaves
Or as magical as intense eye contact
Is it so euphoric, it takes you on a different high!
Does love really make you feel alive in a way like you've never felt before?

-

If you have the ability to love, love youself first
For the love invested in someone may not be reimbursed
You're sunshine, do make your soul shine
You're beautiful, let no one tell you otherwise

At the end of the day you're all you've got,
Be kind to yourself, empower your thoughts
Fall in love with those imperfections
They are raw; your real weapons

You are a sea of light, open your eyes, and see yourself
Trust me darling you're a bright bombshell

-

Our childhood love story so pristine,
For years I called you mine
Engrossed in your euphoric eyes
Exchanging glances, smiles would arise

Circumstances drew us apart
But you'll always occupy a part of my heart
Though I bid the final au revoir
Doesn't mean the love once shared wasn't pure
