My dear love,
Devil in the mind,
Brings evil in the mind,
Because the devil in the mind,
...
My dear, it takes a time,
To become water of the ice,
As setting sun takes a time to rise again.
...
Love is love and love is love,
Whoever in love,
Flies in the sky,
Like that of Eagal,
...
When I entered in your minds eyes,
I forgot all my painful worries,
And I remember nothing dear,
And my memories are wiped out,
...
The past was past,
But the present is mine,
What our dream is star like shine,
The curse was called,
...
My dear, you are crystal clear,
Your mind is crystal clear,
And your soul is also clear.
...
(The speaker stands alone at dusk. A half-packed suitcase lies at his feet. Papers—plans, letters, dreams—are scattered around. He speaks to the silent sky.)
So this was the plan.
This—neatly measured, carefully folded future.
I charted it like a map,
...
Remember the day when we met,
In my beautiful chamber of gate,
There was peace and silence spread,
Door was shut and comfort zone had different thread,
...
I went at dawn where the river bends,
While mist lay thin on meadow ground;
The earth was hushed, yet all alive
With breathing leaves and waking sound.
...
I was a child of open fields,
Of barefoot paths and morning dew;
The sky was near, the grass was kind,
And every tree a friend I knew.
...
At dawn I saw the farmer rise
Before the village stirred awake;
His roof was straw, his walls were bare,
Yet hope was bread he did not break.
...
I walked alone where the hillside sleeps
Beneath a sky of widening blue;
No human voice, no hurried step,
Only the wind my companion knew.
...
When grief lay heavy on my heart,
I left the town's unceasing cry,
And sought the path where wildflowers grew
Beneath the open, patient sky.
...
(The speaker paces or stands in front of a mirror, gesturing at their reflection as if arguing with themselves. Their voice shifts between anger, despair, and pleading.)
Monologue:
Who am I? Tell me!
Because I've looked in every mirror, walked every street,
...
Grief learns to walk on tiptoe through the day,
Wearing a face the world will not mistrust;
Words ache within, yet choose the safer way—
To sink unheard into the heart's closed dust.
...
(The speaker stands in a dimly lit room, eyes fixed on an invisible figure, voice rising and falling with desperation and longing.)
Monologue:
Do you know what it's like… to see someone every day
and feel your heart split in two every time they smile at anyone but you?
...
(The speaker sits alone, hunched forward, hands clasped tightly. Their voice is heavy, sometimes breaking, as if the words themselves hurt.)
Monologue:
I can't undo it.
I can't. No matter how many times I plead with the past,
...
Sing, O Hearth, witness to dynasties in miniature,
Of Heroes—siblings—waging epic wars over kingdoms small,
Where chairs become thrones, blankets are fortresses,
And every toy a relic of contested sovereignty.
...
The air stands hushed, as if it holds its breath,
No leaf dares speak upon the waiting tree;
The sky lies pale, rehearsing scenes of wrath,
Yet wears a calm that feels like mockery.
...
The dawn slips silver through the veil of night,
As if the sky forgets the dark it wore;
Old stars grow pale before the growing light,
And hours loosen what they held before.

Devil In The Mind
My dear love,
Devil in the mind,
Brings evil in the mind,
Because the devil in the mind,
Creates mistrust in the mind.
My dear love,
Never give birth to the devil in the mind;
And the evil in the mind,
Because, evil in the mind cuts the throats,
And devil in the mind destroys the world,
And devil in the mind destroys the happiness.
My dear love,
Ever long for happiness,
And ever long for peace,
Because, we are born of happiness,
Lived of happiness,
And, we would live for peace.
Because, my dear love,
Devil in the mind brings;
Evil in 823the mind.
