I did not ask
to be kindling, to be held
only in the chill of your need.

You called me warmth
but tore through me like firewood
never minding the cold that followed.

I would have burned for you—
glowed, danced, stayed.
But you never asked,
only took.

Now I flicker, now I fade.
#thought
A hymn to the ache of exposure, where my own soul turns its blade against me, and the world watches, unblinking, as I stand unguarded before its merciless truth.

Take, if you must,
my warmth, my light,
burn me slow,
or burn me bright.

Let your hunger
have its way,
but leave a flicker—
let me stay.

Is that fair to me?
To glow, to burn, to break—
while you warm your hands
at the embers of my ache?

Take my fire,
let it dance for you,
but know—this flame
was never yours to use.

Burn me,
to your heart’s content,
but do not name the ashes
your own lament.

Let me smolder,
but leave me whole—
don’t strip me down
to my shroud’s cold fold.

Sometimes I make mistakes.
My mistakes fall like raindrops, soft and quick,
vanishing into soil where memories stick.
But power carves its name, deep and wide,
etched in stone—it cannot hide.

Fates twist like words in a palindrome’s dance,
repeating themselves, as if given a chance.
Between the lines of right and wrong,
I walk a path where history belongs.

Each step I take reflects the past,
my journey framed by shadows cast.
In the mirror of time, I may stand alone,
but I'm bound by forces still unknown.

Now I am tired of these meaningless flights;
one day, I will cut my wings and fill the skies,
a request for peace in the absence of earth,
in the heart of the soul, from a far-beloved house.
#thought
Sometimes, the things I chase aren't what bring me peace. True freedom comes when I release what no longer serves me, stop running, and allow myself to return to something meaningful.

Life's intricate,
Tangled and tight.
I'm the shadow,
You the light.

"flying in the court,
Accusations of the mind."
"Wounds are healed,
Accuses Ruth, it's hard to find."

Faces the fire,
Stories are told.
LIES in the heart,
A fight, to be fold.
#thought
The expression of the lies is shown under another headword.
(Headword: A Tribute to My One and Only Brother).
Please, you need to find yours.

The art of letting go,
Akin a drink, sipping slow.
But, the subject is who's  gonna be accused,
For what? and how? who's gonna be refused?

it might refer to the life and efforts to move forward, or maybe it could symbolize plans or hopes for the future, that are overshadowed by unresolved issues or lingering sorrow.

I just trying to move on, but still burdened by the past, these metaphors effectively the nature of emotional pain.

the memory, sorrow, and the struggle to move forward are universal, but recurring memories and emotions that affect the efforts to move on.

हर्फ़-ए-लिबास पिरोये,
एक ख़्वाहिश-ए-ख़िताब लिखूँ...
रूह-ए-स्याह बिखरे जो,
तो तुम्हे नूर-ए-आफ़ताब लिखूँ...

It seems like I'm contemplating the concept of identity and its relation to moments. while a person's identity is not reducible to individual moments, those moments can still be indicative of their experiences, beliefs, and choices. being a person identity is formed through a complex interplay of various factors over time, including moments, relationships, and personal growth. and each moment contributes to the broader narrative of who a person is, rather than defining them entirely.
But, being an actor, I'm envisioning futuristic moments that can involve immersing myself in a role set in a futuristic scenario. For example, I have imagined portraying a character in a fictional set, in a distant future, where my thoughts have colonized other planets. and my character may grapple with my futuristic setting. I might need to imagine societal norms, and cultural shifts that define this future world, allowing me to fully embody the character and bring the futuristic moments to life on screen.

Hoping, distance would dull the pain,
Yet, those memories surprisingly rain.
Sipping my day to day with the sorrow,
Despite flow fares, filings are on tomorrow.
