Morning rain and mist
Red Cardinal sings among
Forsythia buds
Art
Medley of patterns
Flow onto the paper
Sorting through the mess
That is my head

Colors dance on the sheet
Never skipping a beat
Both Performing for me
And speaking for me

Feelings reborn in hues
Color and colourless
Let them flow
Together let’s grow
I love drawing mandalas

Yesterday is a ghost —
a fading breath we cannot hold.
“Forget it,” they say,
“It already buried itself in silence.”

Tomorrow is mist —
A shape beyond the horizon.
“Don’t wait for it,” they warn,
“It may never come the way you dreamed.”

But today...
Today stands with open hands.
So we rise,
we walk,
we carry what we can


The future remains unwritten —
a blank sky
aching for stars we haven’t named.
Still, we press ink into it
with trembling hearts.

The future is still a mystery,
But it is ours to shape.
To mold with the trembling strength of now.


After joy that made us sing,
After nights of silence,
After loss that hollowed our ribs,
After missed chances, closed doors, misfortunes endured and roads that turned away —
A voice, quiet and golden,
still finds us.

It tells us gently:

Whatever comes,
whatever breaks,
whatever blesses —
It is ours.
It is all fortune.

You never wrote back, but I read every line—

In letters I dreamed up and signed in your sign.

They came in the wind or the drip of the sink,

In shadows that pause just a moment to think.

I fed on illusions, I watered my pain,

I swore that your absence would soon explain.

But days turn to years, and still I believe,

That ghosts only vanish when we stop to grieve.

The most misunderstood, misfelt, and underrated feeling.
Water flowing from eyes can never be fake.
It could be from happiness,
Can be with grief,
Can be out of jealous,
And can be through overwhelm.

The reason may be anything,
But they can never be fake.
They hold valuable expressions
Which words in dictionary too fail.

They carry the pain,
Unexpressed emotions,
And more.

Tears are misunderstood
For being weak, sensitive, and over-emotional.
But they are not in true sense.
One can never judge the value of tears.

They make heavy hearts lighter.
Hidden suffers heal.
They make expressions visible.
Make the situation intact.

Never look low of tears,
And the one who lets them flow freely,
Than to submerged them fearing judgements.
Tears aren’t a sign of weakness — they are the purest form of unspoken emotion. Let them fall. Let healing begin.
In a barren field,
Seeds still yield.

In soil long drained of nourishment,
We bloom beneath discouragement.

A world of silence and demand,
Still — we learn to stand.

Through hunger, through the heavy sky,
We do not ask the reason why.

Still we survive,
Still we strive.

Against the winds that howl and blow,
We bend, we break — and still, we grow.

Wild, untamed,
But never maimed.

No fence could hold this flame inside,
No rule could shame what we won’t hide.

Raised on grit, not guaranteed,
Fed on cracks, not on the seed.

And yet — we rise,
Unruly, wise.

Raised on resilience,
A splash of brilliance.
monsters crawl under my bed
they have no teeth or no claws
but a raging fear in my breath
keeps them alive as long as i stay
they have no fear or no name ,
yet they live ,
longer then i'll ever exist .
they will live long after i'm gone,
but the real misery is that
i create these monsters and they crawl under my bed ,
\ i can't help but dwell ,
on their existence . i'll never know ,
if i'll live without them

It lives in Him breathes in his vitals,
Personifies him and nets out of his veins lethargy,
It dampens what his heart has in offer,
It lays in him waste,
a bewitched rower to this boat,
Who has yet to learn to stay afloat,
His obfuscations lead him sober,
His blind eye dictates his horror,
A pearl beyond imagination he has yet to attain,
To proclaim his name with no distain.
