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.
...
In a land once green, where nature thrived,
Now stands a sight that makes me cry.
For the trees, they're gone, the forest's gone,
A sad tale of deforestation, all alone.
...
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.
...
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.
...
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.
...
A river winds through ancient stone,
Its path unchosen, its course unknown.
It sings a song of what might be,
A melody of wild, untamed glee.
...
Behind the veils of shadowed skies,
Where freedom falters, truth complies,
A silent cry, a muffled plea,
For light to pierce captivity.
...
You didn't say anything,
I didn't hear anything.
But the silence sang-
A melody that needed no words.
...
In a house of mirrors, I walk alone,
Bound by vows that turned to stone.
The laughter fades, the echoes stay,
A shadowed path where dreams decay.
...
The stars may fade, the moon may wane,
Yet your whisper lingers in the rain.
Like echoes soft in twilight's hue,
My heart still beats in love with you.
...
You're my starlight, moonbeam bright,
Twinkly, sparkly, pure delight,
You're my sunshine ray,
Lighting up my day.
...
We were the children of the forest's breath,
Where the Sal trees danced and Mahua wept.
Our songs rose with the morning dew,
And stars would blink when we whispered through.
...
I walked again where my childhood bloomed,
Through lanes where old whispers once softly loomed.
The walls have changed, the faces are new,
Yet shadows of laughter still silently grew.
...
In the hush of night, I sit alone,
A fragile soul, carved to the bone.
The silence hums, it's thick, it's loud,
My only friend, a hollowed-out shroud.
...
I returned, a weary traveler,
From halls where words danced on pages,
Dreaming of rest beneath familiar skies,
Yet found my solace tangled in chores.

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.
