#destined
You trained in a room with no mirrors,
until your body became one—
reflecting only what was demanded,
never what was yours.
They praised the height of your kick,
the symmetry of your stance,
the discipline in your breath.
As if excellence were evidence.
You mistook expectation for love.
Silence for testing.
The locked door for a trial.
You thought: work harder.
You thought: be sharper.
You thought: if I become undeniable
they will have no choice.
Your stance was corrected a fraction inward.
Not for balance, but for a horizon
He kept glancing toward.
When the prophecy was near,
the praise sharpened.
His hand stayed longer, steadying something within Himself.
The room was arranged before
you entered.
The audition had already been scored.
There is a particular cruelty
in being told you are destined
and then shown a ceiling.
Not rejection: reassignment.
Not contempt—containment.
You were not discarded for weakness.
You were narrowed for magnitude.
The locked door was not a test.
There was no key.
You can name the structure
and still bruise against it.
You were always enough.
They never needed you to be.

Where is kindness,
when stench is home?
Air stitched in rot.
Childhood erased,
an adult now in frame.
A superposition existed,
in multiple states where
Atoms entangled, probably,
yet separated by visible distance.
Seen, or seer,
perception.
Quantum mechanics—
Can it reverse the decoherence
of child lost in time ?

There was a time
When I couldn't give a dime
As far as destiny was concerned
How the stars were aligned
It mattered to me not
Even if I suffered a lot
However, as we all know
Times change
We've gotta go with the flow
Facing crisis after crisis
Decided I, to turn to Jesus
Thus, with every passing day
Come what may
More and more did I begin to believe
In the power of Fate
And the miracles it could bring
As we all would be knowing
It's never too late
Yes, believe do I, in destiny
Because, of great importance, is faith
However, it means not
That we do naught
And simply pray to the Lord
Never will inaction beget a reward
Instead, does it mean
That, always should we do our best
And let God take care of the rest
Pardon me for the oft-repeated cliche
But, difficult is it, to carve a niche
Especially when you don't get a chance
To select a topic of your choice
Destiny can favour us
Or can it ruin us
Remember the old but extremely valuable cliche
"There is no gain without pain"
Were we to fight a war
Prepared, must we be, to be slain
Or can we go far
And achieve a glorious victory
Thus, leaving our mark on history
Depends, does it all, on destiny
Take me, for example
I had to go through the ordeal of divorce
It is but completely natural
To believe that destiny favoured me not
Yes, I did have to go through a lot
However, the reality is
Destiny DID favour me
Because, saved was I
From total disaster
And closer did I get
To my sister and father
Not to mention, free am I
To live my life on my own terms
Equally true, is the opposite
It may seem
That, from destiny we benefit
However, turns out instead, destiny is a cheat
For instance, look at the Indian Men's Cricket team
In the recently concluded World Cup
Winning ten matches on the trot
One would have thought
That, destined were we
To lift the trophy
Alas, it was not to be
Lulled were we, into a false sense of security
By all the early **********
And believed, did we
That, on our side, was destiny
However, when it mattered the most
Destiny made sure we lost
Yes, destiny does matter
But your mind shouldn't shatter
Were it to turn against you
Because, it is ultimately YOU
Who are in charge of your life
Even were you to have the best husband or wife!!
Yes, extremely frustrating is it
When things are not in your control
And on your mental health
May it take a toll
However, faith is powerful
Were you to surrender yourself to Jesus
He would make your life wonderful
Of course, certain sacrifices have to be made
But never let your personality fade
And always do your best
Free are you, to turn your back on destiny
As long as you live happily
Yes, destiny does indeed matter
But how much does it matter
Is entirely up to YOU

_As I lay here thinking of you
All my thoughts grey and blue
I wish I could see you, I wish I could.
Then maybe my life could be understood
But still I'm down thinking of you_
Eye for an eye
Heart for a heart.
Tooth for a tooth
Wondering in consistent circles
I am running and ripping myself apart.
I only want to be part of thoughts
That gave me peace to
live for my truths.
It's all in living color.
Yet, I feel grey and only see blue.
I have a reason to hold my head up
Although I am down in my
_feelings, thinking of how much
I am missing you._

I like calligraphy
It's more like how your voice sings to me
Beautiful and sweet
Is it honey and you have a bee hive in your voice box
Baby you got me locked up in an ice berg
What's strange I'm not freezing
This love warms me up
Oh God! I love how you make me
Happy and proud
I love you and will never stop
If love is something I'm catching its because you let me run after you
In the day and night
Flowers bloom and don't die
You are the crystal that's gonna purify my soul
Lay next to me baby mama
I'm yours and you are mine
Love you to the moon and back
It's forever love💕

You have done as you had promised
No two days have looked the same
I’ve never known the peace of sanity
Since the day I took your name
I can feel my nerves are fraying
And my patience wearing thin
I can feel my hair is graying
From the torment I am in
You never told me what you’d offer
Is the home I never knew
Is the deepness of a heartache
And the wholeness I’d feel too
Many lessons I’ve uncovered
Since the day we said “I do”
And I never will recover
From what binds me here to you
Neither one of us deserves it
Lord knows that we have tried
Both a burden and a blessing
But this fire I cannot hide
You will ever burn within me
When we’re lost there we are found
I will follow this horizon
I will chase you round and round
Feel the earth give way beneath me
Let the waves crash overhead
Breathe the air of sweet surrender
Hear the words we’ve left unsaid
I am yours now and forever
Please be mine hereafter true
Take this hand and run beside me
All that matters is it’s you
Don’t believe coincidences
Only broken are we free
In this life there are no constants
Will you please be that for me?
All the phrases in the world
Can’t recount just what you mean
When in the air that e’er surrounds
Resonate the silly things
When your eye catches mine
Home within your arms, I dream
That you’re mine and I am yours
And that is all that we’ll ever need
It’s beyond all the lies
When we were told that we were sinning
There is truth that I found
And it’s been there from the beginning
We could chase anything
But we know it cannot mean
More than these words cannot describe
Forevermore my everything

Loving you is like burning with desire every second ,
Unable to utter anything .
Your love is so strong yet so quiet .
You can never get over me i know .
We are destined to lead a different life .
And maybe we're destined to feel our love was impossible over and over again .
We both crave each other , but
Refuse to fight for each other .
A love never lived ,
Nor it will die !

Let's just say
we were destined
to stand out,
and yell on top of our lungs
till the world notices us.

Ambition, I need to embrace.
Perplexed by the facts of bountiful banes.
Remember to love myself first and foremost.
I shouldn't have to accept but must have.
Love, will you still feel though ain't alright?

I miss days we knew before
Both of us were free
Blissfully naive
Unaware
Our lives were so easy
I took it for granted
Then it went to hell
Would give up everything
To again be under that magic spell
Back when each day was happy
Along with each night
A simple conversation
Occurred without a fight
I miss not carrying weight of the world
Weightless when we'd kiss
Those people we used to be
Would be shocked it's come to this
How did we let potential slip away?
Is this what we're destined to be?
Is it possible to attain
The future young hearts used to see?

i wonder if you still have the memory
of how it felt to possess me
or how sweet i tasted,
our bodies pushing against each other
screaming in your brain
burns of the third degree,
just like mine
a ghost in the background
taunting, yearning for ecstasy
bathing in endless torments
a martyr for your love.

To love for the sake of love,
To care because you do,
To repeat that choice,
That choice is you.
It needs no words,
It is patient and kind.
It works on self-sacrifice.
It is pure and unreasonable.
Will it keep on going forever?
When will love ever end?
What motivates you?
Where does it lead?
Being alone again,
Begets a heavy heart.
Belief does not mend wounds.
Because my heart is not enough.

I feel listless again.
I am left without slumber,
My mind beginning to bend.
Burnt like umber.
Am i trapped in this cycle?
Will it ever end?
I wonder, if I am destined,
To always walk this now beaten path?
As I'm sure it's becoming more treacherous,
As each grey day comes to pass.

One can't see one's self
through the other
the discovery is made together.
The show is destined for a duo.
That one is her mirror
through the very one
one matchless nature see
Who is she?

Stuck inside constant torment
How can I move on
Too sensitive, too weak
Now I'm going to fall
My mind is cloudy
My heart is broken
My soul is destroyed
No hope to be found
No one to save me
Irreparable
Unsalvageable
Lost and alone
Destined to be
c.m.l.

I want to tell you that I love you
but it feels almost insulting to us,
as we have discovered a feeling
that is new and uncharted;
something that far surpasses
the conventional and widely known
concept and notion of just “love.”
We have created a new word,
a new feeling, a new experience,
a new connection,
a new world that’s all our own.
The word love;
it just doesn’t do this justice,
as when I first met you I realized
the reason the sun rises and sets.
It rises to compete with your beauty,
your natural radiance, your light
and your warmth.
When it sets, it gives up;
desperately craving rest as it
spent many hours trying to outshine you, which nothing in this world could ever hope to do.
At very best it could try to match your breathtaking sight,
but still it sets every single day, because it could never even come close to your effortless luminescence.
My darling, you have exhausted the sun,
a basic necessity for all life to grow,
and the centre of our known universe.
But to me, you are what causes growth, you sustain all life,
and you have me spinning in circles
in your gravitational pull;
twenty-four seven, three sixty-five.
It sounds cliche,
but the moment I saw you everything both stopped and started.
My heart stopped,
my breath stopped,
even time stopped.
But my soul was birthed,
my mind was resurrected
and then, my heart was revived.
Within a split second I felt everything; all at once.
Everything in this world suddenly made sense,
I found the puzzle piece to the incomplete picture I had decided to settle with,
I discovered an ***** I never knew existed, but now that ***** is so vital, I could never live without it.
I became a new person that day:
I was finally made complete.
I never knew what happiness was,
but that day I basked in.
I inhaled as much as I could,
even if it would drown me,
because I was absolutely terrified
and paralyzed with the fear
that I would never know that feeling again.
You’re my first thought when I awake,
picking up where I left off the night before,
and you sneak your way into my head all throughout the day.
No matter how close you are to me,
you will always be too far.
It’s frustrating to have two hearts and two souls so intertwined and locked,
that the barrier of our bodies almost feel like a nuisance
as they create a thin wall separating them from meeting
and melting together as they should.
If I could list off my biggest accomplishment,
it would be any time I was the provider of your smile.
If I could list off my favourite hobby,
it would be the times I make you laugh.
If I could do one thing
and only one thing for the entirety of my life,
it would be to look into your eyes
and listen to your sweet voice;
it always leaves me so intoxicated.
And if I was given the choice;
see you hurt or be gun down with a barrage of bullets;
I would tell the firing squad to start loading their guns.
I would die for you; without hesitation.
But the more impressive thing,
I think, is that I live for you,
even though it hurts so badly some days.
Pain goes hand in hand with love,
but it is also tantamount to it.
So you see, I want to tell you that I love you,
every single second of every single day for the rest of my life,
but the words are just words,
and no words, no matter how descriptive or beautiful or powerful,
could ever fully articulate what I feel.
Just know that I am yours,
even when you doubt that I am.

Some people are meant
To fall in love with each other
But never ever meant
To be together
Destined to meet
But not destined to be together
Destined to stay in our heart
But not in our life
If i’m being selfish
I would really like to think
That we are meant to be together
...just not meant to last

Destined to go away.
But an early exit
is not welcome either.
It has to be on time.
But it can't be found
beforehand either
in the solar or lunar calendar!
However it's definitely
on it is crystal clear.

Staying up late each anxious night
Wishing you had not given in to heartache
The choice to split technically mine
It was one you forced me to make
You provided no better options
Back pressed against a disappearing wall
The thing keeping me upright through problems
Cracked skeleton hardly holding weight at all
I know I am weak, words paper-thin
Sit here stuck in the same position
Nothing to improve the frustrated state I'm in
My mind rummaging for proper recognition
Plans made are crumbling to dust
Flames dance around, we are running out of air
Hearts racing, to win we both think we must,
Wondering which is the tortoise and which the hare
Games we play but not enjoy
Again and again use my heart as a toy
Each endless night I lie awake
Staring at the ceiling retracing mistakes
Collapse like a deflated lung
Fated to gasp for more air
Throat hoarse from sad songs sung
Past pain shouting "Please beware!"
I found the same outcome too many times
In patterns we are destined to repeat
Yet I still walk identical lines
Straight into the familiar defeat

Under unfounded skies;
My soul has been buried alive.
A dreadful fear creeps in,
as the treading sound comes closer.
My bones can barely make a move to hide.
The dark creature dwells out every night,
in hunt for skin.
He prowls in;
With the hunger of flesh in his eyes.
His cursed fingers,
Burning my skin.
Not a place left unbruised from the greed of his pleasure.
My Soul bleeds out,
as he thrashes himself into me.
The pain ebbs to my bone
Giving me a wailful cry.
It keeps dragging me down every time I make an attempt to climb out o' this hell.
If only you could listen;
You would hear the crashing pieces of my Hope.
A Hope to escape my Destined World.
***** for several nights.
I'm the voice of a 3 year old girl.

I do not know what to say
To help you understand
You're the only guy I'd ever
Want to hold my faithful hand
I don't know what words to use
To make you amply see
You mean so much more
Than any other thing does to me
I cannot explain what you do to me
It's beyond the realm of what words can say
But despite the scary mystery
Would not want it another way
You are the answer to my prayers
Clique as this poem may sound
I never understood sappy quotes before
You flipped my life upside-down
Touched me and I realized
You were my destined counterpart
And that my world would never be the same
Forever you've altered my mind and my heart

There we sit beneath the cherry blossom tree,
You were there, talking to me.
The silence, hearing the trees whispering.
We were spending all afternoon laughing.
I just wonder and I wanted to ask,
“Would I belong to you soon?”
“Would I ever have you?”
I wanted you to know and hear.
My heart brings off with no fear.
I wanted the way we used to be changed,
Not like how we are right now.
I wanted something more if you allow.
Talk to my eyes, do you want it too?
The voices, I heard them in my head.
Talking to myself, forgetting the road ahead.
Every way I take, it leads me back to you.
Your smiles and the way you move are my sunshine.
Being with you makes me feel better than fine.
I forgot how the rain used to cover me.
I was never meant to leave you recklessly.
Until one day, I heard through the grapevines.
I was looking and hoping for a sign.
Fright drove my heartbeat swifter than the time I trusted you.
Why was I not given a cue?
Was I asleep when you told me?
Was I wishing you dreamingly?
Was I looking forward to the future
Of you caring and embracing me back?
You loved someone you believed,
You said she is undeniably stunning...
But, you did not have a chance to know her.
I had the time of loving you, it felt great.
I wondered, “Why did you refuse?”
Still, it was just right to forget right away.
Someday, the colours would slowly fade
Into a beautiful shade of gray.
The wretchedness would be an enduring mark...
To rather let the mark be the end of the world...
Or to look up to the shining sun and restart?
Someday, I would learn to love someone better.
Someday, I would be laughing at myself and say,
“What was the real reason why I loved you?”
Cause all I can think of was your foolishness.
I could have been dumb when I had you.
I used to laugh to our one-liners before.
We were just young naive kids.
(Now, I learned.....)
I was better off giggling with myself.
I was better off being with my friends.
I used to remember that tree,
It was where we used to sit.
Do you remember it too?
I know you had forgotten.
If you ever regret, do not return.
‘Cause you might be hanging your head the next time.
But you had been right, always right.
“Let go of the beautiful memory
When we used to sit beneath the cherry blossom tree.”
