It can be hard to love the world, and the endless tasks that seem to come
It can be hard to love the people, and to love those that are not enough
It can be hard to love the needy, and the protected and the past
It can be hard to love happiness when even that cannot last
These centuries that come and go and the world seems to fall apart
Over and over the wars continue, with one kingdom’s end comes another's start
This can make it hard to love the world, with all it’s stitches and it’s tears
It can be hard to love a broken glass when what they see is just the mirror
And the monster that’s beneath it, that is too hard to love too
It can be hard to see the pain when the population grows,
The success is seen when there are people on the street and babies born blue
And for that, the world is hard to love, because it is made up of lies, we know
That one day it’ll fall apart completely and we’ll have to make do with the scraps
It can be hard to love the world, but yet we do, what ever good comes we seem to catch
It can be hard to love the world, yet for every moment we hold the world
Rock mother earth in our arms until sleep comes to take the rest
It can be hard to love the world, but we must wait until the best
Learn to love ourselves, for that mirror cannot be fixed if we cannot dare look into it
It can be hard to love the world, and yet, this dark trail begins to be lit

Hospitality:

it requires attention, care --


and an open heart.

The wave of storm,
Full of coldness,
Which never came in person,
But — emotionally.
Strange, right?

Then that night,
When you ask yourself for the first time,
Ever realising...

With all that pain, sitting with a stain,
Till the date I doubted —
Does it ever make sense?

What is love?
How does it feel?
Will I be able to imagine like Aladdin–Jasmine?
Then those questions — revolving, staying,
Until you start finding it in every person, right?

After a while, you realises
How much courage it takes...
To love,
To stand,
To hope,
To wait.

Then suddenly, this world becomes imaginary,
As if it just never existed,
Because you never knew — or maybe not —
How much this feeling actually takes...

Huh! Love — a chemical reaction!
With a lot of exceptions —
I wonder...
Why do we ever love the one whom we can never be with?
With confusions, doubts, and overthinking...
As if it is just not meant for me...

Until the day... out of the blue...
Those beautiful eyes meet your gaze —
As if it’s just our heart that talked,
and we both remained stay.
And then, growing every day with your life
Realising how those 5 seconds meant you a life....
Not in one day but,there would be a day...when you'll truly realise —


You finally found a HOME.

Loud as the rumbling thunder
My love roar with pride
Never ashamed of it’s power
I give it to those who needs it

Strong as a tidal wave
My love embraces with care
Healing wounds of the past
Tending to those in pain

Glowing like a lighthouse
Calling those who hunger for love
To safety in my light
Always protecting

Last night I opened the door to a fear I do not know,
a stranger from the street.
Its overwhelming silhouette now casting over my feet.

It greeted me like a neighbour,
tightly gripping at my hand,
a warmth not becoming of the spectre I did not understand.

For my life I've carried this scar.
A symbol of my mother's mercy,
A blessing of a life for which others have been thirsty.

I quietly parade it in defiance,
that slender crescent moon,
rising from my skin so as not to be forgotten.

Now I stand at the doorway of my conscience
and warily make acquaintance,
with the helpless fear that long feasted on my mother's patience.

I wish I didn't care
that innocents die whilst I write stupid poems
that human lives are treated as despensable
that people suffer death over petty disputes
in a world run by toddlers

I wish I could live in ignorance
that I did not know the worlds struggles
that people starve in poverty
whilst I make a mess of baking cupcakes
that animals are beaten and abandoned
humans abused

I wish I didn't care
I wish I had the attitude of the rich
in their posh gold thrones
with the power to end the problems
but no will to
