In the sooth silent valley of ours,
Stood the well dressed souls,
In bizarre air of Pahalgam.

How can some demon, a ghost
Too inhuman to be born,
With a roar invade their elegant home,
And a line of splitted love they formed,
A beast switch air with his scorn,
All the smiles fades,
only to  leave eric air to mourn.

How inhuman of them to decide
And then to divide ,
On bases of what?
"so called, fantasised, man-made tribes?"

A beast who knows no soul,
Not even the flesh he himself worn,
How can he know a sacred script
He claims to be its magus divine,
But How can it even partalize?

Sindoor they stabbed, out of rage,
For her an ordeal she can never erase.
So, Did they not stab the honour?
Drowned the humanity in blood's corner?

Shrill cries that wound the stone,
Where justice whispers and fail to roar,
In the bleek silence they upheld the war,
The wounds won't dry ,
They'll scar across every door.


The Lass, a लाश right now,
Sinner of her, smiled somehow,
And god said,"get up Devi, strengthen your armour, face the devil and set them on fire".
And the goddess,
Who resides in sky with the wisdom,
Burnt down all nine of beast's sites.
And so the justice somehow survived.

In the battlefield of love, I'd fight as a king,
Through every test and difficulties, my heart will sing.
In the wild fight, I'll stand with all my might,
Defending my love, in the darkest of night.

Every war, I'll face without fear,
For your love is worth the struggle, my dear,
Compared to the crowd, I may be small,
In your love's power, I'll stand tall.

For love conquers all, in its endless grace,
It's the victory in every war, every race.
So even when it seems like I'm losing,
In the battle of love, bravery, my heart will bring.

No weapons nor army can defeat it,
For love is the conqueror of every heart.
So in the war of emotions, I proudly stand,
Knowing that love will forever command.

...gentle breezes
rung the wind chimes
of two hearts
pulsing
for freedom
chorused ecstacy
tickled
the goosepimples
of breathy lovers
caressing
their love-slick bodies
oil
of romance
dripped
sizzling
'pon the ground
of their windswept haven
their sighs
matched the melody
the hollow sighs
of our earth's lungs
for they
were the energy
sustaining
love
and giving atmosphere
to worlds
untold...
Something I'd written last year, 2024, on September 15th, with my soul mate (one of them, at least), who goes by "Audrey", in mind.

Unfortunately, I don't believe she's interested in a life of love with me.
I don't know how this life is going to go, given that.
But, my life's been pretty barren, and a lot of the misery I've experienced in life can be explained by her decisions to abandon me (as well as others making this same decision).

I don't know what drives a woman to be a *******/*** worker, chasing *** with many people rather than monogamous love, as she does, rather than be with me, her soul mate, but I yearn and strive to understand, if not to save her, and other women who commit to making that hollow decision, then, at least, for some semblance of peace.

Sit close
Listen with your soul
not just your ears
No book gets it right

You ask me,
Were you one of the good ones?
There are no good ones
Only those who bled slower

They’ll call it justice
A stand
A reckoning
A cleansing
Our last shot at salvation

They’ll dress it in slogans,
wrap it in flags
They’ll give us names
Patriots, Rebels,
Loyalists, Traitors
But all of them fall apart
when the guns begin to sing

Your uncle...
the one you never met...
he looked at me
eyes wide, afraid
But I didn’t care
He wore the wrong color
And that was that

Remember your grandfather
remember these hands,
how they shook,
how they never stopped shaking.

Don’t let them hand you a weapon
and call it purpose
Don’t swallow lies
and call it reason

There is nothing civil
about a civil war
Nothing brave
in killing your own
No valor
in tearing your country in two
There is nothing civil in a civil war
Samuel May 13
If I must choose,
I choose war—
Right hand against left,
Infants against beasts—
If every cause is just.
the evils of the world.
RRey May 13
by (The Soul-Warrior)

I think I was a warrior once—
not of war, but of wounds.
My blade wasn't sharp with steel,
but soaked in silence,
forged from the fire of forgiveness.

I see him—
my past self,
kneeling in the ruins of choices,
bloodied not from battle,
but from bending.

My hand rises—
not in anger,
but to end the echo of suffering.
A mercy...
to silence the screams he swallowed.

But he smiles.
That broken boy with fire in his eyes.
He places his hand on my shoulder and says,
"Congratulations..."

"You endured."

"You didn’t fall. You didn’t give up."
"You wore the spikes like a crown,
bled wisdom from your wounds,
and now—
you are wiser than me."

And in that moment,
the blade in my hand dissolved,
and all that was left...
was peace.
Life experience...

Two minutes, we sacrifice.
The value of a human life.
Not to work two minutes harder,
or push ourselves 2 minutes further.

Not enough to contemplate
the pain and fear, the spite and hate.
Not 2 minutes to reparate,
our broken world, our shattered people.
The ones we left, who've grown so feeble.

We give 2 minutes for those who died.
Who died in wars so many times.
War and again, over and over,
and louder, the silence,
and longer, the violence,
so dilute in its gunfire and sirens.

Silence, 2 minutes, for those who died.
Yet silence eternal, for those deprived,
of human rights, and chance to live,
If only 2 minutes were all we'd give.
About: I want people to have to think about the meaning of this one, rather than telling them outright like I usually do.

The hill I will die on,
Is that most battlefields aren’t worth dying on.
Some people see a mob,
And grab their pitchforks and their torches,
Without even understanding,
What they’re fighting for.
Perhaps they love the bloodshed,
Perhaps they love the gore,
Perhaps they feel righteous indignation,
And are adamant to settle the score.
It could be some primal need to fight,
Or some could be sure that they’re right.
Either way, I don’t see the point,
I understand that sometimes a war is just,
Most times, it feels like a bust.
A waste of money,
A waste of time,
A waste of precious human lives.
All for what? Some measly land?
How greed corrupts the righteous hands.
So the hill I will die on,
Is that some battles aren’t worth fighting,
That they aren’t worth the pain.
The lives they ruin,
The families they break,
The friendships covered in contusions,
The human souls that are broken and bruised.
All for what?
She stood in the field of Violets.
A distressed lady in war.
While others charged in the battlefront,
Only I noticed her, from afar.

She was enraged, with dreadful eyes,
Murmured words I didn't hear
A cluster of sunken syllables
Rose a song too hard to bear.

Forgiveness, O Damsel of Violet
Release me from these cries
Let me sing a song so dear
For those hazel eyes.

Trust me O Wrathful maiden,
No harm was ever planned.
Yet here I stand, entranced by you,
Still spellbound where I stand.
