• Doubt of Recollection

  You counselled me, when the days are strenuous and grim, to reminisce when the days luminous and gentle.
  
  But, how do you expect me to be appeased,
  When these dismal and rigorous days make me doubt the authenticity of those guileless, euphoric days?

• The Disparity of Perspectives

  The contrast between history and herstory
  is more than two alphabets.
  The divergence between his story and her story
  is more than two narratives.

• My Mind Loses to Self-Pity

  

  My Mind Loses to Self-Pity

  My mind loses to self-pity, with each passing day,
  A world of darkness, that’s hard to allay,
  The thoughts, they spiral, with a vicious intent,
  A world of depression, that’s hard to prevent.

  The tears, they flow, with a heart so heavy,
  A world of emotion, that’s hard to levy,
  The memories, they haunt, of a happier time,
  A world of contrast, that’s hard to align.

  But even in the darkness, there’s a glimmer of light,
  A reminder of hope, that’s forever in sight.

  The tears, they flow, with a heart so heavy,
  A world of emotion, that’s hard to levy.

• Shadows and Sunbeams

  

  Shadows and Sunbeams

  Shadows and sunbeams dance their play
  One will darken, one will light the way
  Together they create a world of contrast
  One that is both eerie and vast

  But when the sun sets and the shadows are gone
  The world turns dim and the light is none
  Yet even then, we know the sun will rise
  And the dance between shadow and light will materialize

• How to Compare Love

  

  How to Compare Love

  Love is an experience that can be difficult to put into words. It’s a subjective feeling that is different for everyone. Love has been a common topic throughout history, and poets have tried to capture its essence in their work. In this poem, I attempt to compare love to the things around us that we can see and touch.
  
  Love can be compared to a flower,
  That blooms and dances in the sun,
  It’s fragile yet resilient,
  And when nurtured, it blossoms and is fun.
  
  Love can also be compared to a flame,
  That burns and lights up every space,
  It can warm and comfort us,
  And help us find our place.
  
  Love is like a winged bird,
  That soars and flies without restraint,
  It freely comes and goes,
  And leaves its mark without complaint.
  
  Love may take on many forms,
  Like a painting with countless hues,
  It can be intense or subtle,
  But it always shines through.
  
  So, how does one compare love?
  It’s like trying to catch a shooting star,
  Love is a unique experience,
  That is beautiful just as you are.

• The Fortunate Ones

  

  The Fortunate Ones

  We are the fortunate ones
  Who have a roof over our heads
  And food on our plates
  Who have clean water to drink
  And clothes to wear
  Who have access to education
  And health care
  Who have freedom of speech
  And human rights
  We are the fortunate ones
  Who can dream of a better future
  And pursue our passions
  Who can love and be loved
  And share our happiness
  Who can travel and explore
  And learn from different cultures
  We are the fortunate ones
  But we should not forget
  The unfortunate ones
  Who struggle to survive
  And face injustice
  Who suffer from hunger
  And disease
  Who are oppressed and exploited
  And denied their dignity

• The Contrast of Life

  Life is a contrast, a balance of light and dark,
  A mix of joy and sorrow, a journey that leaves its mark.
  A tapestry woven with threads of every hue,
  A masterpiece that’s rich, a story that’s true.

  In the contrast of life, we find the beauty,
  In the lows and the highs, we find the duty.
  To embrace the moments, the ones that make us whole,
  To cherish the memories, the ones that heal the soul.

  For in the contrast of life, we find the meaning,
  To see the world in a new light, to find the leaning.
  To live life to the fullest, to take the leap,
  To find the courage to live, to cherish and keep.

  So let us embrace the contrast of life,
  And trust the journey that’s ahead.
  For in the contrast, we’ll find the light,
  And a life that’s truly led.

• The Pulse of the City

  

  The Pulse of the City

  The city is a living, breathing being,
  Its pulse can be felt in the streets,
  In the rush of people, in the sound of traffic,
  In the bright lights that never sleep.

  It’s a place of contrasts, of high and low,
  Of wealth and poverty side by side,
  Of towering buildings and cramped alleyways,
  Of glamour and grittiness intertwined.

  It’s a place of opportunity, where dreams come true,
  But also of struggle, where life can be tough,
  Where people work hard, day and night,
  To make a living, to make enough.

  The city is a tapestry, woven with many threads,
  Of different colors, textures, and styles,
  Of people from all walks of life,
  With their own stories, their own trials.

  The pulse of the city is relentless,
  It never slows down or stops,
  But within its rhythm, there is beauty,
  In the way it connects and unlocks.

  For in the heart of the city, lies community,
  A sense of belonging, a feeling of home,
  A place where people can come together,
  To laugh, to love, to not feel alone.

  So let us embrace the pulse of the city,
  And all that it has to offer,
  For within its bustling energy,
  We can find a life that’s richer.

• Shadows and Light

  

  Shadows and Light

  Shadows and Light, they dance and play,
  In a never-ending game each day.
  They other, to and fro,
  In a dance that’s ancient, yet still aglow.

  Shadows creep along the ground,
  As Light beams from above are found.
  Together they create a scene,
  Of beauty and wonder that’s evergreen.

  Shadows and Light, a perfect pair,
  Each one needs the other there.
  For without the darkness, there’s no contrast,
  And without the Light, there’s no brightness to last.

  In the morning, Light shines bright,
  As Shadows fade into the sight.
  And as the night begins to fall,
  Shadows grow tall, standing proud and tall.

  In every corner, in every space,
  Shadows and Light leave their trace.
  They paint a picture with every move,
  A masterpiece that’s hard to prove.

  For Shadows and Light, they are a mystery,
  A reminder of life’s complexity.
  And as we watch them dance and play,
  We’re reminded of the beauty that’s here to stay.

  So let the Shadows and Light continue to dance,
  A never-ending game of chance.
  For in this dance, we find our way,
  To a world of beauty, every day.
