Aarav 9h
I follow the Sun, a guiding light;
The symbol of hope shining bright.
He's always there, day and night;
Ready to help, and be a delight.

A journey I travel, not alone;
There are seven more, at tone.
In the ever-growing cosmos unknown;
They comfort one as their very own.

I have a partner all along;
The Moon at bay, standing strong.
The bond in which we belong;
It's bound to stay for very long.

I possess the greenery, the oceans;
A diversity full of devotions.
The winds and waves, enchanted motions;
It's a life uplifted with beautiful emotions.
i'm a space enthusiast indeed.

The Health Ignored
Aarav 2d
It's a story untold,
A story unheard.
Keep it under the bush, and it shall become common,
Accept it as any other problem, and it shall become uncommon.

Mistreat it, and it shall block progress,
Treat it well, and it shall counter stress.
Mistreat it, and it shall turn the happy gloomy,
Treat it well, and it shall turn the sorrow bloomy.

Attempts were made, she tried to express,
Ignorance she faced, she had to suppress.
Unknown of the fact that it grew,
The society termed it to be a taboo.

A necessity, rather our greatest wealth,
In good shape we all need, our own mental health.
She dared to speak ,
We stated her to be weak.
through this poem, i've tried to put light on how society (especially in India, relates more) terms depression & mental health-related topics to be a subject of taboo. awareness on these issues is also needed, for this our youth which might go in vain.

Fearing the process,
Fearing the results,
It's a fear making me hollow,
The true culprit within, is a young-sharp fellow.

Above the skies is the fear to fall,
Below the shores is the fear to dawn.
It's an emotion that can brawl within,
An emotion that can persuade within.

What's fear without life?
What's life without fear?
A conundrum at rife,
The line in between blur.

Fear is yet instilled,
A nuance of an emotion.
Greater than that of loss,
Greater than that of death,
This one is a companion,
The fear of life without depth.
i'm open to suggestions and constructive criticism and ofc, all the postivity.
this is only my start as newbie in the world of poetry and philosophy, the two fields i like to combine. the exploration is to dawn.

An elegant river cascading forward,
With meanders ahead disordered.
Approaching a lush delta upfront,
Blending in the sea triumphant.

The flowing water is to remember at the end,
The whispering of the winds that descend.
Each leaf that it gently rustled,
Each wave that it gently rippled.

The symphony of the melodies echoed,
As the riverine path narrowed.
Yet it was, an elegant river cascading forward,
With meanders ahead disordered.
Even the paths of rivers are never perfectly straight.

Why the fame?
Aarav 3d
I have all the fortunes, the riches,
The world knows me for great fame.
I can visit the mountains, the beaches,
For there is not a sole to blame.

I don't have the greatest wealth,
The world may not know my presence.
Mountains, the beahces, I may not take their breath,
The world's elegance, I may not have their sense.

The mountains, I savour alone,
The beaches, I savour alone.
The entire globle is where I roam,
Never to find a place I can call home.

I live in normalcy, it might seem no strain,
I don't experience luxury, it's a life quite plain.
Every moment is spent with mates, with family,
Their timeless love is what makes the ordinary, extraordinary.
Fame is a question of perspective, but many times misunderstood.
