A love so true in the depths of my heart,
but I dare not express it because I feel unworthy of you.
A love that burns, unwavering and powerful,
but the words remain unsaid, held within for so long.
...
Oh Mother Earth, so vast and true,
Forgive us, for we've wronged you.
With every breath, every careless deed,
We've fed the fires of a boundless greed.
...
In shadows where the heart does lie,
Where pain and sorrow often sigh,
Love steps in with gentle grace,
And wipes the tears from weary face.
...
Sometimes, I say, 'I'll handle it, don't worry.'
Yet a part of me wishes you'd stay,
Not to fix my broken edges,
But just to be here, quietly.
...
In the silent halls where shadows creep,
A soul departed, left in sorrow's keep.
Moumita's name, now etched in pain,
A cry for justice, a call in vain.
...
I sing alone in twilight's hue,
A call for love, for life, for you.
The trees once danced with friends of mine,
But now they whisper, lost in time.
...
May your days be bright, your skies serene,
With health and joy in every scene.
Peace like rivers, softly flow,
And seeds of prosperity, gently grow.
...
In the quiet whispers of a digital space,
A faceless man sought my grace.
Long messages, like rivers flowed,
While my replies, mere drops bestowed.
...
Our paths were drawn on separate skies,
In different stars, our destinies lie.
Though fate denied us a shared tale,
Your light shines through, never pale.
...
As a lover of nature and the written word too,
I offer these lines to inspire actions anew.
For each individual holds the power to make a change,
To safeguard our planet, let's rearrange.
...
In the recesses of my mind he lingers,
A love that's grown with age,
But in the depths of my heart, it lingers,
A story turned to a cage.
...
O dearest God, why did you plant
This unshakable love in my heart?
If he is not meant for me,
Why do I feel his presence constantly?
...
In the whisper of the breeze, a song begins,
A melody from a friend, where calmness wins.
Nature's cool embrace, a tender touch,
Brings peace to the heart, oh so much.
...
In shadows where my heart once thrived,
A love was lost, yet I survived.
The pain it brought still lingers near,
A haunting echo I hold dear.
...
A friend with voice like morning dew,
He sang a poem, tender and true.
His words took flight, like birds in spring,
I found my heart began to sing.
...
In melodies of words, I find my heart's delight,
A friend who sings with passion, in the quiet of the night.
His voice, a gentle breeze, in verses pure and bright,
Has sparked a love for poems, in this newfound light.
...
In the quiet hush of night, where dreams dare not tread,
I lie awake, heart heavy, tangled in my bed.
A friend, so dear, our bond like moon to the sea,
Yet silence stands between, a wall of pride, you see.
...
In silence, I await your words,
A message, a spark in stillness,
Hoping for your first response.
...
In the quiet of the night,
Your voice, a gentle light,
Softly sings me into dreams,
Where moonlight flows in streams.
...
In the quiet of the evening, your voice takes flight,
A melody so sweet, under the moon's soft light.
I hum along, though my notes may falter,
Listening from afar, my heart grows softer.

Forbidden Love
A love so true in the depths of my heart,
but I dare not express it because I feel unworthy of you.
A love that burns, unwavering and powerful,
but the words remain unsaid, held within for so long.
My eternal love for you knows no bounds,
but my self-doubt envelops me like shadows.
For how could I stand in your light,
when I feel shrouded in darkness, devoid of what is right?
I see your radiant and bright smile,
the way you brighten even the darkest night.
But I can't bring myself to confess my love's plea
for fear of contaminating your world and obscuring the beauty you see.
I watch you walk through the day from afar,
longing to hold you close but keeping my love at bay.
The ache in my chest is a bitter reminder,
that I am unworthy of such tender love.
Though it pains me to keep this secret, this toll,
I'll keep my love hidden, deep in my soul.
But I can't risk breaking your heart, dear one,
because I know deep down that I'm not the one who should come undone.
So I'll admire you from afar, my love silently expressed,
knowing that my love will not be stressed in this way.
Though it breaks my heart to keep this love contained,
I will silently cherish you in the domain of my heart.
For my eternal love for you will remain,
even if I can't say it out loud, even through the pain.
You deserve pure and true love,
and while it may not come from me, I hope it finds you.
