Time is running out,
the heart is giving up.
What was once loved
will be left behind -
a new journey is about to begin
into the unknown.
poetry is the quiddity of me
it is so intertwined with my soul
that it is woven into my heart
I could never abandon this
it is my other half
it is me
words flow from my mind
and onto paper or a screen
it is part of me
poetry is the quiddity of me
quiddity: the inherent nature or essence of someone or something
When happy,
she heals
with her beauty.

When angry,
she kills
with her fury.
A symbol of love,
my nation's pride,
a gift to the world,
built by Shah Jahan
for his beloved Mumtaz.
Fulfilled the promise
he made to her,
built a unique monument of love
to stand the test of time
where they now rest side by side,
together forever.
A reminder -
love exists in the real world.

You can create snowflakes in summer,
Or make flowers bloom in winter.
You can freeze the drops of the dew,
But you can never make someone love you.

You may turn a shade of pink to blue
Or turn over a fresh leaf anew,
But you can never make someone love you—
Never make someone love you.

I can't stop you
from leaving me

Just as you can't stop me
from loving you .
Any day is a good day
when spent with honesty
and a little bit of love.
Darkness has taken over the mind
Not a glimmer of light to be found
Smile has faded away
Giving way to the teary eyes
Life has lost its purpose now.
The greatest actor in the world-

The one who hides his tears
behind his smile
and makes the world laugh.
Once I stumbled upon
a stream of love,
wondering where it was coming from
I  went searching.

There it was,
lying around...
a broken heart.
