Life is like a pot of boiling water
We are the vegetables inside
Some are soft and tender, like potatoes
Some are hard and crunchy, like carrots
Some are green and leafy, like spinach
Some are red and spicy, like peppers
Each vegetable has its own flavor and texture
Each vegetable has its own role and purpose
But together, they make a delicious soup
A soup that nourishes and warms us
A soup that is more than the sum of its parts
Life is like a pot of boiling water
We are the vegetables inside
We may be different, but we are all connected
We may face challenges, but we can overcome them
We may lose our shape, but we gain our essence

The cynosure
She is the cynosure of all gazes,
The object of lust,
The one who kindles passions,
The one who freezes time.
She is a spectacle of flawlessness,
A legend of lore,
A rarity so exquisite,
She could only dwell in fantasies.admiration, attraction, beauty, desire, dream, love, myth, obsession, perfection, poem, poems, Poetry, Timelessness

The Hi-Fi of Life
The hi-fi of life is not the sound
Of music blasting through the air.
It’s not the latest album or the band
That’s making all the charts this year.
The hi-fi of life is found in small things,
The moments that we often miss.
A smile from a stranger, a warm embrace,
A kind word spoken in good measure.
It’s the feeling of being loved and cared for,
The sense of belonging and being part.
It’s the joy of giving and receiving,
The simple pleasures that make life worth living.
So don’t search for the hi-fi of life in far-off places.
It’s right here, all around you.
Open your eyes and your heart,
And you’ll see it all around.

The last drop
The last drops of rain fell from the sky
As I watched you walk away, without a goodbye
You took everything from me, my heart, my soul, my pride
And left me with nothing, but tears in my eyesthe last drops of hope dried in my chest
As I realized you were gone, and I had failed the test
You were the reason for my smile, my joy, my life
And now I have nothing, but pain and strifethe last drops of love faded in my mind
As I tried to forget you, and leave you behind
You were the one for me, my dream, my fate
And now I have nothing, but anger and hatethe last drops of me crumbled in your hands
As you broke me into pieces, and scattered me in the sands
You were my everything, my all, my whole
And now I have nothing, but a broken soul

Life is life
Life is life, and what is more
Than life? A little song
Of joy or sorrow, more
Or less, a little day
Of sun or shade, of play
Or work, of love or hate,
Of laughter or of tears,
A little space between
The cradle and the grave.
Life is life, and what is less
Than life? A little dream
Of beauty, or of bliss,
A little hope, a gleam
Of sunshine on a cloud,
A little starlight thrown
Across the shadows deep,
A little joy unknown,
A little grief unwept.
Life is life, and what is best
Than life? A little love
That fills the heart above
With joy, and makes it move
With strength and purity,
And makes it live and be
A little light of God
In the great darkness here.

I Hate You
I hate you now,
And I will hate you forever,
For the pain you have caused me,
And the sorrow you have brought.I hate you for the lies you told me,
And the promises you broke,
For the way you made me feel,
And the way you made me doubt myself.I hate you for the way you left me,
And for the way you never looked back,
For the way you made me feel like I was nothing,
And for the way you made me feel like I didn’t matter.I hate you for everything you did to me,
And I will never forgive you,
For I will never forget the pain you have caused me.I hate you now,
And I will hate you forever.

Like river’s flow
Like river’s flow, my life doth go,
Ever onward, ever changing,
From the source where it began,
To the sea where all things end.
Sometimes it flows calm and clear,
Sometimes it runs swift and wild,
But always it flows on,
Never stopping, never still.
I do not know where it will end,
But I know that it will flow on,
Until it reaches the sea,
And then it will be gone.
But even though it is gone,
It will leave its mark behind,
In the form of all the things
That it has touched and changed.
So let me not fear the flow of life,
But let me embrace it,
And let me enjoy the journey,
No matter where it may lead.

Love is a temporary thing
Love is a temporary thing,
A fleeting moment in time,
A spark that ignites and then burns,
But soon is turned to embers and ash.It’s a feeling that comes and goes,
A wave that washes over you,
Bringing joy and happiness,
But also pain and sorrow too.It’s a risk that we all take,
To give our hearts to another,
In the hope that it will last,
But knowing that it may not.So if you find yourself in love,
Enjoy it while it lasts,
And don’t be afraid to let go,
When the time comes for it to end.For love is a temporary thing,
But the memories will last a lifetime.

Let’s not regret
Let’s not regret the things that were
Or things that might have been,
But take the present hour and share
Its joy and hope and win.Let’s not regret the things that died,
Or tears that we have shed,
But let us smile and banish pride,
And live the best we can.Let’s not regret the things that seem
To have gone out of reach,
But let us hope and trust and dream
Of better things to come.Let’s not regret the past, but take
The present as it is,
And make the best of all our days
And live them to the brim.Let’s not regret the things we’ve done
That we might have left undone,
But let us try to make amends
And live more nobly still.Let’s not regret the things we’ve said
That we might have left unsaid,
But let us speak the truth instead
And make our words our friends.Let’s not regret the things we’ve lost
That we might have held so dear,
But let us find new joys and zest
And make our lives more sweet.Let’s not regret the things we are
That we might have been,
But let us strive to be the best
That we can be today.

Devilish Eyes
Oh, those eyes of hers, like the devil’s own,
They pierce right through me, and I’m undone.
I can’t look away, no matter how I try,
They’re like magnets, drawing me in, I sigh.
They’re kohl-rimmed and dark, like the night sky,
And they sparkle like stars, when she smiles at me.
Her lashes are long and thick, like raven wings,
And they frame her face like a work of art, I sing.
Her eyes are like the deepest ocean,
So vast and mysterious, I can’t fathom.
I want to swim in them, and never come up,
But I know that would be my undoing.
So I’ll just have to sit here, and stare at her,
And dream of the day when she might be mine.
But until then, I’ll just have to content myself,
With these devilish eyes, that haunt my mind.

It’s Time To
It’s time to let go of the past,
To forgive and forget.
It’s time to move on,
To start anew.
It’s time to dream big,

Liberation’s Leap
In relinquishing we unearth our cadence
For when we comprehend our intrinsic eminence
We embark upon a journey resplendent in hue
Abandoning what dulled our vision askew.
In measured strides we advance towards luminosity
Glimmers of hope guiding our ascent deftly
A gossamer thread woven with purpose and grace
Resolving to forsake that which held us in solace.
With steadfast resolve we yield unto liberation’s call
Transcending the blighted shadows that once held us enthralled
Elevating our spirits to loftier realms on celestial wings
Where the brilliance of self-discovery resplendently sings.
For in the surrender of stale narratives gone awry
We unearth treasures hidden gems that fortify
And as we clasp hands with boundless possibility
We embrace the splendor of newfound felicity.
So let go dear soul and embrace your destined flight
Shedding burdens that shrouded your inner light
For in the audacious leap towards vast expanse
We discover the true essence of our divine dance.

Empty shells
Empty shells on the shore
Remind me of the days before
When we were young and free
And filled with joy and gleeEmpty shells in my hand
Remind me of the times we planned
To travel the world and see
All the wonders that could beEmpty shells in my heart
Remind me of how we fell apart
When we grew old and cold
And lost our dreams and goalsEmpty shells in my mind
Remind me of what I left behind
When I chose to walk away
And face a lonely day
-
Let’s take our time
So let’s take our time, explore the night
Lose control, no rules, no need to fight
Get lost in passion, let go of all fright
Nothing can stop us, we’ll take flight.

Like fading rays
Like fading rays of the setting sun
You left me in the dark, alone and undone
You were the light of my life, the warmth of my soul
But you slipped away from me, leaving a gaping holeI still remember the days we spent together
Laughing and loving, promising forever
But now those memories are all that remain
A bitter reminder of what I can’t regainI wonder if you ever think of me
Or if you have moved on, happy and free
I wish I could see you one more time
To tell you how much I miss you, how much you were mineBut I know that’s just a hopeless dream
A fantasy that can never be
So I’ll just keep you in my heart
Like fading rays that never part

Meaning of meaning
What is the meaning of meaning?
I’ve searched and searched, I’m still a-dreaming,
The more I think, the more I’m losing
The meaning of that very thing.
Some say that meaning is the goal,
That we must strive to reach it whole,
But then, what is the goal of striving,
If striving is the thing we’re buying?
Is meaning something that we find,
Or something that we make up kind?
If meaning is something that we make,
Then what I make is what I take.
And if I make my meaning so,
Then meaning has no meaning, oh,
But if I find my meaning out,
Then meaning has a meaning, shout!
So meaning is a mystery,
A thing that’s hard to understand,
But if I think about it lots,
Maybe I’ll find the answer, grand.absurdism, answer, dream, existentialism, Find, Goal, humor, introspection, lose, lots, make, meaning, mystery, philosophy, poem, poems, Poetry, Pondering, questioning, reflection, Searching, strive, think

One nation, one election
One nation, one election
A concept that sparks reflection
Is it a boon or a bane
For India’s democracy and its domain?
Some say it will save time and money
And make governance more steady
It will also ensure policy continuity
And reduce the burden of bureaucracy
The Modi government has formed a committee
To assess the viability of this idea
It has invited the opposition to join the study
And seek their views and feedback
One nation, one election
A proposal that needs more discussion
But it may also bring some benefits
For India’s progress and its interests

न भूत न भगवान
न भूत न भगवान दुनिया में है केवल इंसान ही इंसान
जो अपने कर्मों से बनता है अपना आसमान
जो अपने सोच से बनता है अपना जहान

कोई नहीं है जो तुम्हें सजाए
तुम्हारे हाथ में है तुम्हारा भाग्य
तुम्हारे मन में है तुम्हारा साथी
तुम्हीं हो वो जो करते हो प्रेम
तुम्हीं हो वो जो करते हो क्रोध
तुम्हीं हो वो जो करते हो सेवा
तुम्हीं हो वो जो करते हो मार
न भूत से करना किसी का कुछ
न भगवान से माँगना किसी का कुछ
केवल इंसान से पूछना किसी का कुछ
केवल इंसान से मिलना किसी का कुछ
न भूत न भगवान दुनिया में है केवल इंसान ही इंसान

जो प्यार करता है, प्यार पाता है, प्यार बाँटता है

Feelings and Emotions are Like Flowers
Love is like a rose,
With its sweet and delicate petals.
It can be fragile and easily bruised,
But it can also be strong and resilient.
Joy is like a sunflower,
Always turning towards the sun.
It is a positive and uplifting emotion,
That can brighten even the darkest day.
Sadness is like a violet,
Hidden in the shadows.
It is a quiet and gentle emotion,
That can be difficult to express.
Anger is like a dandelion,
With its sharp and prickly seeds.
It can be a destructive emotion,
If it is not controlled.
Fear is like a daisy,
With its white petals and yellow center.
It is a natural emotion,
That can help us to stay safe.
Hope is like a lotus flower,
Growing in the mud.
It is a powerful emotion,
That can help us to overcome adversity.
Peace is like a garden,
Full of different flowers.
It is a state of harmony,
Where all emotions are welcome.
Feelings and emotions are like flowers.
They are all beautiful and unique,
And they all have their own special meaning.
So let’s celebrate our feelings and emotions,
And let them bloom in all their beauty.

Life is a Boiled Vegetable
Life is a boiled vegetable,
Not always tasty, not always good.
Sometimes it’s mushy, sometimes it’s hard,
But it’s always there, no matter what.
Like a carrot, life can be sweet,
But it can also be bitter.
Like a potato, life can be plain,
But it can also be full of nutrients.
Like a green bean, life can be long and winding,
But it can also be short and sweet.
Like a broccoli, life can be healthy,
But it can also be a bit too much.
But no matter what kind of vegetable life is,
It’s still life.
And it’s still worth living.
So enjoy the ride,
And savor every bite.
Because life is a boiled vegetable,
And it’s only as good as you make it.

A Morning Prayer
Emerge,
My dearest,
Reveal your eyes,
The day has ascended so luminous.
Ascend,
Oh dearest,
I’ll escort you, clutching your finger,
The garden of ecstasy and splendor.
Observe,
Across the window,
The sun, to enlighten the course,
Has conferred its light.
Come,
My cherished,
Long and strenuous, the voyage may be,
The direction ahead remains straight.
Walk,
Oh cherished,
Keeping your sight on every pace,
Lest a stone may cause a stumble.
Oh dearest,
Reveal your eyes,
The day has ascended so luminous.
The sun, to enlighten the course,
Has conferred its light.

They try to keep us down

We will never be complacent, No matter what they preach
We know the power of our voice, And it’s within our reach

The Paradox and the Glory of Being Human
We All Are
What does it mean to be human? Is it our physical appearance, our genetic makeup, our cognitive abilities, or our emotional expressions? Or is it something more than that, something deeper and more profound, something that transcends the boundaries of biology and culture?
We all are human, but we are also more than that. We are the products of our history, our environment, our relationships, and our choices. We are the creators of our future, our destiny, our meaning, and our purpose. We are the agents of change, the catalysts of innovation, the pioneers of exploration, and the champions of justice. We are the dreamers of dreams, the lovers of life, the seekers of truth, and the makers of art.
We all are unique, but we are also connected. We share a common origin, a common planet, a common humanity, and a common destiny. We belong to a diverse family of cultures, languages, religions, and values. We celebrate our differences, but we also respect our similarities. We learn from each other, we support each other, we inspire each other, and we enrich each other.
We all are individual, but we are also social. We have our own identity, our own personality, our own preferences, and our own goals. But we also have our roles, our responsibilities, our obligations, and our duties. We have our rights, but we also have our duties. We have our freedom, but we also have our limits. We have our autonomy, but we also have our interdependence.
We all are rational, but we are also emotional. We use logic, reason, evidence, and analysis to understand the world and make decisions. But we also use intuition, imagination, creativity, and passion to express ourselves and pursue our interests. We value knowledge, but we also value wisdom. We seek truth, but we also seek beauty. We appreciate facts, but we also appreciate feelings.
We all are mortal, but we are also immortal. We have a finite lifespan, a limited time on earth, and an inevitable end. But we also have an infinite potential, an unlimited capacity for growth, and an eternal legacy. We face challenges, difficulties, hardships, and losses. But we also experience joys, successes, achievements, and gains. We suffer pain, sorrow, grief, and fear. But we also enjoy pleasure, happiness, love, and hope.
We all are human beings. But we are also more than that. We are complex and multifaceted creatures who defy simple definitions and classifications. We are dynamic and evolving entities who constantly change and adapt to new situations and circumstances. We are marvelous and mysterious wonders who surprise ourselves and others with our capabilities and achievements.
We all are human beings. And that is what makes us amazing.

Don’t Just Let Your Past
Don’t just let your past define you,
Don’t let it hold you back.
Learn from it, grow from it,
But don’t let it control you.
Your past is a part of you,
But it’s not all of you.
You are more than your mistakes,
You are more than your regrets.
You are a work in progress,
You are still becoming.
So don’t let your past define you,
Let it make you stronger.
Let it teach you what you don’t want,
Let it show you what you do want.
And then use that knowledge
To create the future you want.
Don’t just let your past define you,
Let it be the foundation
For a better you,
A brighter you,
A stronger you.
So go out there and live your life,
Don’t let your past hold you back.
Be the best version of yourself,
And don’t ever look back.

Vacant Land
The land lies empty, waiting
For what it will become,
A home, a business, a park,
Or perhaps just nothing at all.
The grass grows wild and free,
Untamed by human hands,
The trees stand tall and proud,
Untouched by progress.
The wind blows through the leaves,
Singing a song of hope,
The sun shines down on the earth,
Blessing it with its warmth.
The vacant land waits patiently,
Knowing that its time will come,
When it will be filled with life,
And make a difference in the world.business, change, development, Difference, empty land, future, growth, home, hope, impact, life, nature, park, poem, poems, Poetry, Potential, transformation, vacant land, waiting
