The Apocryphal Tale

Apocryphal tales, so old and rare,Whispers of truth, hidden somewhere,Legends passed down, from mouth to ear,Details lost, as time drew near. Stories of magic, and ancient lore,Of heroes brave, and villains more,Myths that may, or may not be true,But still we cherish, as if they...

Save Me From Me

I’m lost within myself,I cannot find my way.I’m trapped inside my head,I’m drowning in my pain. I need someone to save me,I need someone to pull me out.I’m drowning in my despair,I’m falling down without a doubt. Please save me from me,I cannot do this...

Aberrant

I am an aberrance, A creature of darkness and light. I am not like the others, I am not bound by their rules. I am free to think for myself, To explore my own thoughts and feelings. I am not afraid to be different, I...

Lessons in Poetry

In class, I taught hundreds of poetry lessons,Words flowed like rivers, without any hesitations.Metaphors, similes, and rhyming schemes,Were the tools of the trade, or so it seems. From Shakespeare to Frost, I covered them all,And watched my students’ creativity crawl.They wrote about love, nature, and...

Save Me from Me

Save me from me,From the doubts that I see,From the fears that I feel,From the wounds that won’t heal. Save me from me,From the thoughts that deceive,From the pain that’s inside,From the tears that I hide. Save me from me,From the darkness that be,From the...

Fragments of Memories

Broken pottery, shattered dreams,Pieces lying around in teams.Once whole, now torn apart,Memories etched in every part. Each fragment tells a story,Of love, loss, and past glory.A reminder of what was once whole,Now a relic of a forgotten soul. Yet in the cracks and broken lines,Beauty...

Accede

A king, a crown, a castle grand,All these things I once did demand.But now I see, with new found grace,That all I need is just a placeTo rest my head, and call my own. I’ve learned that power is fleeting,And wealth is nothing more than...

A Sketchy Outline

A sketch is a vague outline,A rough idea of something,A shadow of what could be. It is a starting point,A place to begin,A way to see the big picture. A sketch is not a finished product,It is not meant to be perfect,It is meant to...

The Bitter Pill

Bitter medicine, a necessary pill,To cure the sickness, to mend the ill,A taste so sour, hard to swallow,But the only way, to cure and follow. The bitter pill, a tough demand,Yet it holds the healing hand,A bitter taste, but a sweet relief,The only way, to...

Fragments of Memories

I see your face, I hear your voice, But you are not here, not in this place. A shadow of your former self, A ghost of what once was, a lost love. I try to reach out, to touch your hand, But my fingers pass...

The Pursuit of Nikhedonia

Gwenders

In the icy grip of winter’s hold,Comes a feeling that’s bone-chilling cold,It creeps and crawls through every limb,And leaves us feeling numb within. Gwenders, they call this icy curse,That steals the warmth from deep within our core,And though we bundle up in layers,The chill still...

After you asked me for a date

When you said, “let’s go on a date”My heart skipped a beat, unable to regulateMy imagination started running wildAs I envisioned you as my lover, my sweet child I dreamt of you in the moonlightYour body next to mine, oh such a delightYour touch igniting...

My Heart Ain’t Bulletproof

My heart ain’t bulletproof, it’s fragile as can be,Each scar that I bear is a painful memory.Love can be a weapon, it can hurt and cause pain,My heart is a target, and I’m the one to blame. I’ve tried to protect it, but it’s been...

Soft Whispers of the Meadow

Soft whispers of the meadow,In the breeze, they gently flow,Nature’s song, a symphony,A peaceful lullaby to me. The rustling leaves and grasses sway,As the sun sets at the end of day,A tranquil scene that brings repose,To soothe the soul and calm our woes.

Nocturnal Nostalgia

Dusk descends and darkness deepens,Dreams diverge to dreadful deeds,Nightmares now take over napping,Nocturnal nostalgia needs. Demons dance in daunting dresses,Despair dominates the day,Dreadful demons do their dances,Draining dreams to disarray. Dawn delivers daylight’s duty,Darkness dwindles, dreams depart,Daylight drives the demons distant,Dreadful dreams done, a new...

Seductive Savoring of Succulent Entrails

Seductive savoring of succulent entrails,Feasting on flavors that fervently flail,Intense indulgence in intimate details,Arousing appetites that amorously assail. Sensuous sensations that sensibly sail,Enticing entrees that eagerly entail,Luscious lures that lasciviously unveil,Satisfying cravings that sweetly prevail.

The Dual Nature of Dreams

Nightmares are dreams too,In a different shade of blue.They may seem like a frightful sight,But they also hold some light. In the darkness, we find our fears,And face them with our tears.We wake up stronger than before,Ready to face life’s open door.

The Buzzing of the Swarm

The sound of thousands of locust wings,A symphony that nature brings,Buzzing in unison, a deafening hum,A chorus that makes the trees succumb. The swarm descends, devouring all,Leaving nothing but barren soil and pall.Their wings a blur, their eyes aglow,As they march on, row by row....

The Darkest Void

I stand in the center of the darkest void,Where light and hope are quickly destroyed,The silence here is deafeningly loud,And darkness wraps around like a shroud. No stars above to guide my way,No path ahead, no night or day,I’m lost within this endless space,A lonely...

The World is Dozing

The world is dozing, asleep in its bed,Dreams of tomorrow dance in its head,The stars up above twinkle and gleam,As the world slumbers, lost in a dream. The moon casts a spell, a magical light,As the world sleeps through the night,The silence is deep, peaceful...

You

I used to be so fun, they say,But now I’m just a bore.I used to laugh and dance all day,But now I’m feeling poor. What happened to the joy I had?Where did my spirit go?I used to be so wild and mad,But now I’m feeling...

Sunday Silence

A day of stillness and hush,No rush, no noise, no fuss,A time to be silent and still,To let the mind and the soul fill,Sunday silence, a moment of peace,A day to let all worries cease.© VishalDutia

It Just Hurts So Much

It just hurts so much,When the pain is all you can touch.When the tears won’t stop falling,And your heart feels like it’s stalling. The weight of the world on your chest,Makes it hard to catch your breath.Every day feels like a battle,And you’re not sure...

The Conspirator’s Scheme

A Conspirator schemes in the dark of the night,Plotting and planning with all of their might,Whispers and secrets, they carefully share,Building their power without anyone aware.

Thrice I Loved Thee

Thrice I loved thee, my heart did swell,With each beat, my love did tell,Of all the things I felt inside,For thee, my love, I could not hide. Twice I thought I’d found true love,But then came thee, sent from above,And now I know that love...

Stumbling Steps

Silly Sally stepped on the street,Suddenly she stumbled with her feet,Slipping and sliding on the slippery slope,Struggling to stand up and cope. She summoned her strength and sought support,To steady herself and stay afloat,With each stride she gained success,And learned to avoid the slippery mess.

The Illusionist of Time

The one who makes time feel like an illusion,With a snap of fingers, creates confusion.A master of magic, a sorcerer supreme,Bending time and space, like in a dream. Seconds turn to hours, minutes to days,The world around us, in a mystic haze.Past, present, future, all...

Charcoal Legs

Charcoal legs, slowly but surely,Transforming from flesh to fuel so pure-y.Heat and pressure take their toll,Turning limbs into coal. The burn begins at toes and feet,Creeping up to calves and knees so neat.Soon the thighs are all ablaze,As the transformation continues in a fiery daze....

Sunset’s Serenade

When the sun goes down, The world slows down, The sky turns gold, The day’s story is told. The birds fly home, The stars start to roam, The moon takes its place, The world’s a quieter space. The trees whisper secrets, The breeze sings sweet...

Abandoned Agony

Abandoned scream rushing,Aching echoes endlessly echoing.Agonizing emptiness engulfs,Alone and afraid, abandoned soul sulks. Desolate dreams dashed,Desperate despair deeply thrashed.Dolorous darkness dominates,Dreadful desolation devastates. Forsaken feelings fermenting,Frigid fear forever freezing.Futile hope fading fast,Forsaken soul forever aghast.

Luminous Lurking

A dark ambiance of light,Dimness descends with the dusk.Eerie shadows dance in sight,As luminosity turns to rust. Somber shades of twilight,Shroud the world in gloom.The brightness of day takes flight,And obscurity fills the room. Dreary darkness envelopes all,As the last rays of light fade away.The...
