Vishal Dutia
In Mumbai town, a writer dwells, The poems I tell, With pen in hand, I bring to life, Characters that inspire and strife. Through my words, I take us on a ride, To places we've never been inside, May my writing continue to flow, And my stories never cease to glow.

Through All Seasons

For all seasons and weather, we stand strong,Enduring the changes, we sing our song.In spring’s new bloom, we feel alive,As the world awakens, and we thrive. Summer’s warmth wraps us in its embrace,As we bask in the sun and embrace its grace.In autumn’s fall, we...

Grumpy Mornings

Your grumpy face in the mornings,Is like a stormy sky without warnings.Your eyes all puffy and red,As if you just woke up from the dead. I try to cheer you up with a smile,But it seems to take a while.You sip your coffee, still half-asleep,And...

Love’s Language

The way that you love, it speaks to me,In a language that’s clear, as clear can be,It whispers softly, in my ear,And fills my heart, with joy and cheer. With every touch, and every kiss,I feel the warmth, of eternal bliss,And in your eyes, I...

The Dance of Society

It’s a social game, we all must play,Navigating rules, day by day,With steps to learn and moves to make,Our every move, others will take. We dress to impress, and put on a show,To gain approval, and let them know,That we belong, and are part of...

I Imagined A Place In Your Heart And Mind

I Imagined A Place In Your Heart And Mind In your heart and mind, a place I see – Serene and sweet, as sweet as can be, Where laughter echoes in the air, And love shines bright without a care. A haven where you can...

Shedding the Chains

Cutting off those, who judge you,May seem harsh, but it’s what you must do.To free yourself from their toxic grip,To find your voice, and let it rip. Their words may sting, their opinions hurt,But their judgment is not your worth.You are unique, and that’s okay,Your...

Set You Free

Let me let you go, my love,Like a dove released to the skies above.Though it pains me so, to set you free,I know it’s the best for you and me. Our love was strong, it burned so bright,But now it’s time to take flight.To follow...

The Cost of Relief

Choices made to get rid of the pain,May come at a cost that’s hard to explain.The quick fix, the easy way out,May lead to regret, and eternal doubt. The bottle, the needle, the pill,May offer escape, but never fulfill.A temporary relief, a fleeting high,Leads to...

A Slice of Peace

A slice of peace, a moment’s release,From the chaos and stress that never cease.A quiet retreat, a place to unwind,Somewhere serene, a solace to find. A moment to breathe, a chance to reflect,To clear the mind and find some aspect,Of life that’s pure, that’s good...

Voiceless

Disrespectful criticism, not able to speak back,The feeling of powerlessness, like being under attack.Words that cut deep, leaving scars on the heart,Leaving one voiceless, tearing them apart. The silence can be deafening, the pain hard to bear,As the words replay, like a never-ending nightmare.The urge...

IF I TOUCH YOUR ROSEN CHEEK

If I touch your rosen cheek, This warmth, this softness, I can’t wait to seek.My fingertips tracing the curve,As my desire for you starts to serve,I crave for more, oh sweet satisfaction,The arousal I feel, takes me to another dimension,My love for you, ever so...

Holographic memories of you and I

Holographic memories of you and I,A kaleidoscope of kisses and cries,Captured in a cosmic canvas that can’t die,A cornucopia of colors that coalesce and collide. The holograms hold a hundred histories,Heritage of happiness and heartache,A harmony of hope and hurt, a haven of mysteries,Held in...

The Selfish Me

Selfish me, always wanting more,Never content, always at war.I take and take, without a care,Leaving nothing behind but a selfish air. But what is the cost of this endless greed?What do I lose in this constant need?For in the end, I am left alone,With nothing...

The Illusion of Emotion

We chased a feeling not a reality,Lost in a world of our own duality.The highs and lows, the twists and turns,We followed our hearts, but never learned. The rush of passion, the thrill of desire,We chased these flames, like moth to fire.But in the end,...

Sunsets Are Never Quite

Sunsets Are Never Quite

Sunsets Are Never QuiteSunsets are never quite,their beauty elusive and fleeting.Indescribable transitions of colors,that paint the sky with each setting.A momentary brilliance before the night,as the horizon fades from view.Sunsets are never quite,and yet they leave us feeling anew.

Love’s Flame

Love is a matchstick, small and bright,A flicker of hope in the darkest of night.It sparks into fire, burning so strong,A beacon of light that guides us along. It warms our hearts and lights our way,Through every trial and every day.It ignites our passion, sets...

High heels kind of way

Strutting in stilettos, a swagger so bold,Seduction and sophistication, a story untold,With confidence and chic, she walks with grace,Leaving a trail of admirers in her high heels kind of way. Her style is impeccable, her poise so refined,A woman of substance, with a heart so...

A letterhead-style image of a dimly lit room, with a single window casting a beam of light onto an empty chair, symbolizing the crushing emptiness and the glimmer of hope amidst the darkness.

The Crushing Emptiness

The Crushing Emptiness The crushing emptiness, it weighs, A heavy burden, through endless days, In the void, a heart does ache, Longing for solace, a respite to take. Through the darkness, a glimmer appears, A beacon of hope, to vanquish the fears, In the midst...

The Silent Room

The empty bed lies cold and bare,No one to sleep, no one to share.The room is quiet, the air is still,The silence echoes, with every chill. It’s hard to bear, this empty space,The memories gone, without a trace.The laughter and love, now just a dream,A...

Fleeting Moments #Poetry

Barely a moment, but how it flies,A fleeting second, before our eyes.We try to hold on, to make it last,But time slips away, so very fast. The sun rises, and the day begins,Then before we know it, the evening wins.The years go by, and we...

Remember Me

Sometimes I wonder, do youRemember me like I remember you?The moments we shared, the laughter we knew,The love that we had, so pure and true. Do you recall the warmth of my embrace,The smile on my face, the light in my gaze?Or have you forgotten,...

The Puzzle of Love

Our pieces didn’t fit together,No matter how we tried, we couldn’t tether.Our hearts beat out of sync and time,Our love was like a broken mime. We thought we had all the pieces,But they didn’t fit, our love decreases.We tried to force and make it work,But...

When Words Fail

If you are too tired to speak,And your voice feels small and meek,Know that silence can be strong,And healing comes when we belong. When words fail and thoughts run deep,And emotions inside us steep,We can find solace in the quiet,And let our minds find their...

Spirit slows its breathing, As calmness takes the lead, Serenity captures the mind, And gently plants its seed. Peace seeps into the body, Relaxation takes control, Meditation grounds the essence, And centers the whole. Tranquility envelopes the soul, As everything else recedes, The stillness within takes hold, And touches every need.

The Stillness Within

Peace seeps into the body,Relaxation takes control,Meditation grounds the essence,And centers the whole. Tranquility envelopes the soul,As everything else recedes,The stillness within takes hold,And touches every need.

The Tale of So-and-So

So-and-So was a curious cat,Inquisitive, always seeking to chat.She roamed the streets day and night,Looking for new friends with all her might. One day she met a wise old owl,Who said, “So-and-So, you’re on the prowl.But remember, curiosity killed the cat,So be careful where you’re...

Pain In Pleasure

Whips and chains, my sweetest pain,The taste of leather, drives me insane,Bite me hard, leave your marks,Our connection, never departs.

The Mirror Calling Deepest

The mirror calling deepest, a voice within,Whispers of fears and doubts, buried skin.Reflecting back the truth, no place to hide,A journey of self-discovery, taken in stride.

Ambient Delusions

Ambient Delusions

A swirling sickness, a silent symphony, Suspicious shadows, a shrieking spree, Twisted thoughts, a trembling tone, Tendrils tangle, a trickster’s throne.

The Polite Killer

A polite murderer, so charming and sweet,Deception and manipulation, his favorite treat.With a smile on his face, and a twinkle in his eye,He lures in his prey, with a cunning lie. His guilt and conscience, they’re buried deep,For the evil within him, it’s too dark...

The Descent into Darkness

The Descent into Darkness

The Descent into Darkness The descent into darkness, a treacherous path, Where shadows consume, and fears amass, In the depths of despair, a soul does wander, Seeking the light, yet lost in the yonder. Through the gloom, a flicker of hope, A beacon to guide,...

When My Brain Implodes, My Irish Heart Explodes

When my brain implodes, my Irish heart explodes,Emotions and thoughts, like fireworks, they unload.Memories of my culture, my identity, my heritage,Passion and energy, they surge and they ravage. Overwhelmed by the intensity, I seek release,Freedom from the chaos, a moment of peace.So I turn to...

Fear's Grip

Fear’s Grip

Knees wobble and hands prostrate,I stand before my deepest fears.My heart races, my breath abates,As I confront my inner tears. The unknown looms before me,A path I’ve yet to take.Courage failing, I can’t flee,Heartbreak, failure, and heartache. But in this moment, I choose to stand,No...
