Today is broken, so I will cry,
A solitary tear, a river wide,
A sorrow’s depth, a sky’s height,
A fragile soul, a world’s weight.
The morning dawned, a false promise made,
A lie that mocked, a truth betrayed,
The sun rose high, a fiery blade,
That cut through dreams, a night’s disguise.
Yesterday’s memories, a faded hue,
A past that taunts, a present Blue,
Regrets and what-ifs, they crowd the mind,
A chorus chanting, a melody unkind.
Tomorrow looms, an uncertain guest,
A shadow dancing, a future unblessed,
The wind howls warnings, a storm’s portent,
A darkness gathering, a tempest’s consent.
Today is broken, so I will cry,
A lonely figure, against the sky,
A single drop, a deluge vast,
A sorrow’s ocean, forever fast.
The stars above, a distant throng,
A celestial choir, a heavenly song,
They sing of hope, a gentle breeze,
That whispers secrets, a symphony of ease.
But here on earth, a different tune,
A discordant beat, a funeral march boon,
The trees stand still, their leaves rustle sighs,
As nature mourns, a requiem replies.
Today is broken, so I will cry,
A fragile vessel, a sea of sighs,
A shattered dream, a world awry,
A solo voice, a universe denied.
Yet in the midst, a glimmer shines,
A ray of light, a beacon divine,
A chance to mend, a second chance,
A new beginning, a life to enhance.
Today is broken, but tomorrow waits,
A clean slate, a canvas unfurls,
A brush of hope, a palette bright,
A masterpiece, a new day’s delight.
So let the tears fall, let the heart weep,
For in the sorrow, a lesson keep,
That life’s a journey, twists and turns,
But strength and courage, our spirits learn.
Today is broken, so I will cry,
But with each tear, a wisdom nigh,
That though the world may shatter and fade,
Our inner strength, a rainbow’s shade.

Manipur’s Bleeding Heart
Bloodstains mark the soil of Manipur,
Violence reigns in its wake,
Tears fall from mothers’ eyes,
As loved ones perish in hate.
Guns echo through the hills,
Silencing peaceful thrills,
Broken dreams and shattered hopes,
Haunt the hearts of Manipur’s folks.
Anger simmers in veins,
Despair grips every train,
Youth stand against oppression,
Demanding justice’s reflection.
Peace must return to these lands,
End the cycle of strife,
Healing begins with understanding,
Love conquers hate’s vice-like grip.
May the wounded find solace,
May the lost be rediscovered grace,
May Manipur rise again,
Stronger than before.

Unveil Your Truth
Concealment breeds shame,
Denial leads to isolation,
Your authenticity deserves claim,
Embrace your unique creation.
Societal norms may bind,
But freedom comes with being kind,
To yourself and those around,
Acceptance found when you’re sound.
Don’t hide behind false guise,
Reveal your soul’s true skies,
Be proud of who you are,
Free from fear and despair.
Express your true colors,
Live boldly, unaffected by others,
Find solace in your own story,
And thrive in your genuinity.Follow me on threads: https://www.threads.net/@vishal.dutia.poetry

Melancholic Melodies
Melancholic tunes resound through the night,
Lost love, once soaring, now out of sight.
Sombre refrains of a bygone amour,
Drowning in pain, past its prime, obscure.
Each note, a reminder of what has passed,
Of a symphony of love that couldn’t last.
Melodies dance, filled with despair and yearning,
As our love dissolves, leaving hearts burning.
Keys on the piano weep with regret,
As we mourn what we couldn’t forget.
Harmony shattered, rhythm disrupted,
Love once thriving, now left corrupted.
We listen to the tunes, hoping to find peace,
But dwindling love now only haunts our hearts with ease.

Stone Sea
Water turned into stone, trenches engrave bones known
God forsaken or forsaken Him, back to water, thirst’s groanSadness toast, hat tipped to despair, anger seethes in silence’s lair
Searching for light, sun’s fragments touched, disappearing at night’s glareFate’s jaws trapped, something to contemplate, pain religion, belief overdue
Anguish commemorates love’s giving heart, beats in isolation, soul blue.

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 on my own.
I’m lost and all alone,
I’m begging you, please help me home.

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 start.

Angels and Demons
With demons nearing close angels now inhabit,
Their wings spread wide, they guard and commit.
To protect the world from darkness and despair,
They fly high above, with grace and care.The demons lurk in shadows, waiting to strike,
But the angels are ready, they won’t let them spike.
Their swords of light shine bright in the night,
And they fight until the dawn’s first light.The battle between good and evil never ends,
But the angels’ love for humanity never bends.
Their faith in God keeps them strong,
And they will fight until the last demon is gone.

Trapped Beneath
I’m writhing beneath reality like a trapped animal,
Lost in a world, where nothing seems rational.
The weight of the world, pressing down on my soul,
Leaving me struggling, to simply stay whole.
The world can be cruel, and unforgiving,
Leaving us trapped, in a life barely living.
But even in darkness, there’s a glimmer of light,
A chance to break free, and take flight.
So let us rise, from the depths of despair,
And embrace the world, with a newfound care.
For life is a journey, with twists and turns,
And it’s in the struggles, where true growth is earned.

Lamenting Love’s Lurid Labyrinth
Love is hell, a heartbroken hymn,
A harrowing journey, with no win.
Despair seeps in, with demons at play,
Desolate and despondent, day by day.
The labyrinth of love, a lurid sight,
A maze of madness, with no respite.
Each twist and turn, a treacherous trail,
A journey that always seems to fail.
Infernal flames, that never subside,
Consuming passions, that once did reside.
Leaving behind, a soul in despair,
Lost in the darkness, with no repair.
Love is hell, a lamenting cry,
A mournful melody, with no reply.
A journey that leaves, scars so deep,
A heart forever shattered, unable to sleep.

Lost in the Abyss
Search, but I’m not there,
Lost in the abyss of despair,
Drifting through the void of life,
Without a purpose, without a strife.
My mind is wandering in the dark,
Looking for a spark, a tiny mark,
That will guide me back to light,
And help me win the endless fight.
But sometimes the abyss is too deep,
And all I can do is silently weep,
Hoping that someone will find me,
And show me the way to be free.

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 of despair, a light does shine, A promise of love, to make all things fine.

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, a way to cope, In the midst of the night, a promise is made, To rise from the ashes, and embrace the new day.

Searching for Love
Looking for love, in all the wrong places,
Searching for a connection, in familiar faces.
Longing for romance, and passion so true,
Hoping for devotion, and commitment anew.But heartbreak and despair, they’re never far,
As trust and connection, they’re put to the bar.
The search for love, it’s a tricky game,
With no guarantees, and no one to blame.So keep searching, with hope in your heart,
For love is out there, waiting to start.
And when you find it, hold on tight,
For it’s a precious gift, a shining light.commitment, connection, despair, devotion, heartbreak, hope, longing, love, passion, romance, search, trust

It Ripped Apart the Heart of Me
It Ripped Apart the Heart of Me
Verse 1: It ripped apart the heart of me, A love once pure, shattered debris. Dreams of forever, now lost in time, Betrayal, the ultimate crime.
Verse 2: Emotional turmoil, endless despair, Painful memories, too much to bear. Heartbreak, the hurtful toll it takes, Love lost, the heartache it makes.
Verse 3: Scars of the past, slow to heal, Once felt love, now surreal. The shattered pieces, too many to mend, A fragile heart, afraid to extend.
Verse 4: A journey to healing, a difficult climb, Broken pieces, the scars of time. The heart now guarded, but open to learn, Hope on the horizon, a new love to earn.

I Give Too Many Chances
I Give Too Many Chances
I give too many chances, it’s true,
To those who don’t deserve them, it’s nothing new,
I hold onto hope, with a stubborn heart,
Believing that they’ll change, and make a new start.But time and time again, I’m proven wrong,
As they take my kindness, and use it to prolong,
Their own selfish ways, and toxic behavior,
Leaving me to pick up the pieces, and suffer the labor.I give too many chances, it’s a weakness of mine,
To believe in the good, and to give them more time,
To learn from their mistakes, and make amends,
To become a better person, and make new friends.But sometimes, I wonder, if I’m just a fool,
To believe in the good, and to follow this rule,
Of giving too many chances, to those who don’t care,
To those who take advantage, and leave me in despair.So maybe it’s time, to learn from my mistakes,
To stop giving chances, to those who just take,
To hold onto my heart, and to protect it with care,
To stop giving chances, to those who won’t share.

Nights Are Getting Colder
Nights are getting colder, oh what a thrill,
Numbing my senses, like a bitter pill.
Nagging and niggling, the chill won’t relent,
Nursing my misery, with each breath spent.Nostalgic and naive, I long for the past,
Nursing my wounds, like a love that won’t last.
Nearing the end, the cold creeps in,
Narrowing my vision, like a fool with no win.Numb and neglected, I shiver and shake,
Nudging away comfort, with each step I take.
Nearing the bottom, I cling to my pride,
Nestled in my misery, with nowhere to hide.

Demons and Their Taunts #Poetry
Demons and Their Taunts
Voices in my head, never cease,
Demons and their taunts, don’t give me peace.
Fear and anxiety, I can’t escape,
Demons and their taunts, I’m in a daze.Pain and anguish, I can’t move on,
Demons and their taunts, I’m all alone.
Happiness and joy, I can’t find,
Demons and their taunts, I’m out of my mind.Sadness and anger, both taking their toll,
Demons and their taunts, I can’t be whole.
Despair and sorrow, my heart’s in a bind,
Demons and their taunts, I can’t unwind.Hope and faith, I can’t see,
Demons and their taunts, I’m stuck in a sea.

Time Passed Me By #Poetry
Time Passed Me By
Days go by, time moves on,
Time passed me by, I’m all alone.
Moments pass, memories fade,
Time passed me by, I’m in the shade.Years go by, life moves on,
Time passed me by, I’m all gone.
Youthful dreams, my future’s dim,
Time passed me by, I’m in a whim.Life’s a blur, I’m in a daze,
Time passed me by, I’m in a haze.
Hope and faith, I can’t see,
Time passed me by, I’m stuck in a sea.My life’s a blur, I’m in despair,
Time passed me by, I’m in a snare.

In the depths of my heartache and pain
In the depths of my heartache and pain,
Love’s sweet embrace has left me in vain.
Sorrow and tears, my constant mates,
Heartbreak and despair, my bitter fates.Betrayed and alone, I stand shattered,
Loneliness my only companion, tattered.
My ache and grief, a never-ending story,
Agony my song, sung with no glory.

Words finality
Words, like daggers, can cut deep,
Their finality, a wound to keep.
Once spoken, they cannot be unsaid,
A specter that haunts both heart and head.Oh, how we wish for a way to retract,
To take back words that cause impact.
But alas, they are out in the open air,
And leave us with naught but despair.So let us choose our words with care,
And think before we speak and share.
For words, once uttered, cannot be undone,
And their finality, forever will be spun.

The Disorienting Abyss
The Disorienting Abyss
Deep down in the abyss, where darkness reigns,
The mind is lost, and nothing remains.
No light, no sound, just emptiness and pain,
A disorienting abyss that drives one insane.The weight of the world bears down on the soul,
Dragging it deeper, towards an unknown goal.
The abyss devours, with a hunger that never ends,
A black hole of despair, where hope never blends.The abyss disorients, with its endless void,
A place where all dreams and desires are destroyed.
It swallows one whole, with a merciless grip,
A place where even the strongest spirits slip.But amidst the disorientation and the gloom,
A flicker of light can pierce the endless doom.
A glimmer of hope, where none seemed to exist,
A ray of warmth, that breaks through the mist.For the abyss may disorient, and it may consume,
But it cannot take away what makes us human.
Our will to survive, our strength to endure,
Will bring us back to the light, and make us pure.

I Blink With The Stars
I Blink With The Stars
I blink with the stars in the silent sky
I blink with the stars as the hours fly
I blink with the stars and I wonder why
I blink with the stars and I start to cryI can’t fall asleep no matter how I try
I can’t fall asleep though I’m so tired
I can’t fall asleep and I don’t know the reason
I can’t fall asleep and it feels like treasonI think of all the things that trouble me
I think of all the things that I can’t see
I think of all the things that I regret
I think of all the things that I can’t forgetI wish I could escape from this endless night
I wish I could escape from this hopeless plight
I wish I could escape from this lonely state
I wish I could escape from this cruel fateBut I blink with the stars in the silent sky
I blink with the stars as the hours fly
I blink with the stars and I wonder why
I blink with the stars and I start to cry

I can’t take the pain
I can’t take the pain
Of living without you
Of missing your smile
Of losing your touchI can’t take the pain
Of facing the world alone
Of hiding my tears
Of faking my strengthI can’t take the pain
Of knowing you’re gone
Of remembering our past
Of regretting our endI can’t take the pain
Of hoping for a miracle
Of wishing for a change
Of dreaming of you.

Sticks and stones hold me
Sticks and stones hold me
I lie on the ground, broken and bruised
Sticks and stones hold me, they are my only friends
They do not judge me, they do not hurt me
They keep me warm, they keep me safeBut sometimes I wonder, is this all there is?
Is there more to life than sticks and stones?
Do I have a purpose, a reason to exist?
Or am I just a pile of bones?I dream of a place where I can be free
Where I can laugh and sing and dance
Where I can meet someone who loves me
Who sees beyond my circumstanceBut then I wake up, and reality hits me
Sticks and stones hold me, they are my only friends
They do not judge me, they do not hurt me
They keep me warm, they keep me safe.

The Pain of Being Me
The Pain of Being Me
I live in a world that does not understand me
A world that judges me by how I look and act
A world that expects me to conform and agree
A world that rejects me for being different and abstractI suffer in silence as I hide my true self
As I pretend to be someone that I’m not
As I suppress my feelings and emotions on a shelf
As I deny my identity and dreams that I’ve gotI cry in the dark as I feel alone and hopeless
As I wonder if there’s anyone who cares
As I question if there’s any meaning or purpose
As I despair if there’s any hope or prayersI long for a day when I can be free and happy
When I can embrace who I am and what I feel
When I can find someone who loves me for me
When I can heal from the pain of being real.abstract, act, agree, alone, am, anyone, being, cares, conform, cry, dark, day, deny, despair, different, dreams, embrace, Emotions, expect, feel, feelings, Find, free, happy, heal, hide, hope, hopeless, identity, judge, long, look, love’s, me, meaning, not, pain, poem, Poetry, prayers, pretend, purpose, question, real, reject, Self, shelf, silence, someone, suffer, suppress, true, understand, what, who, wonder, world

The Demon Floating in the Sun
The Demon Floating in the Sun
There is a demon floating in the sun
He is the source of all our pain and fear
He feeds on our despair and misery
He laughs at our attempts to persevereHe sends his minions to torment us
He spreads his lies and deceives us
He makes us doubt ourselves and others
He breaks our bonds and divides usBut we are not helpless or hopeless
We have the power to resist him
We have the courage to confront him
We have the faith to overcome himWe can shine brighter than the sun
We can burn away his darkness
We can rise above his influence
We can defeat his wickedness.

Once Again I Have Fallen
Once Again I Have Fallen
Once again I have fallen, into a world so dark,
A world of depression, that’s hard to embark,
The weight, it crushes, with each passing day,
A world of despair, that’s hard to allay.The memories, they haunt, of happier times,
A world of contrast, that’s hard to align,
The tears, they flow, with a heart so heavy,
A world of emotion, that’s hard to levy.But even in the darkness, there’s a glimmer of light,
A reminder of hope, that’s forever in sight.

A Self-Inflicted Pain
A Self-Inflicted Pain
A self-inflicted pain, that cuts deep inside,
A world of darkness, that’s hard to subside,
The thoughts, they swirl, with a vicious intent,
A world of despair, that’s hard to prevent.The wounds, they fester, with each passing day,
A world of self-harm, that’s hard to allay,
The tears, they flow, with a heart so heavy,
A world of emotion, that’s hard to levy.But even in the darkness, there’s a glimmer of light,
A reminder of hope, that’s forever in sight.

I Took a Deep Breath
I Took a Deep Breath
I took a deep breath, and closed my eyes,
Letting go of my worries, my fears, my lies,
In that moment, I felt so free,
As if the weight of the world, lifted off of me.I breathed in deep, and felt the air,
Fill my lungs, and wash away my despair,
I felt alive, I felt renewed,
As if my soul, had been imbued.I exhaled slowly, and felt the peace,
Wrap around me, like a warm fleece,
The world around me, seemed to slow,
As I let my worries, and troubles go.I took a deep breath, and found my center,
My mind and heart, in perfect splendor,
I felt the strength, the power within,
Ready to face any challenge, any sin.So take a deep breath, and let it out,
Let go of your fears, your worries, your doubt,
Find your center, find your peace,
And let your worries, and troubles cease.© VishalDutia

Monsters in Humans
Beneath the guise of human form
Lurk monsters that can do great harm
Their actions leaving lives forlorn
Their hearts a breeding ground for scornThey prey on others for their gain
And show no mercy, cause no pain
Their morals twisted, all in vain
Their souls consumed by dark disdainThey hide behind a veil of lies
Their motives pure, or so they guise
Their words deceive, their deeds despise
And leave their victims paralyzedBut still, we strive to find the light
And keep the monsters out of sight
We fight for justice, we fight for right
And hope to make a better sight.

The Love that Slipped Away
The Love that Slipped Away
The love that slipped away, it haunts my heart,
A bittersweet memory that tears me apart,
A love that was once so pure and true,
Now gone forever, leaving me feeling blue.We laughed, we cried, we shared it all,
But somehow, we stumbled and took a fall,
Our love was like a rose in bloom,
But now it’s withered, like a heart in gloom.I close my eyes and see your face,
And wonder if time could ever replace,
The love that we once held so dear,
Now lost forever, like a distant sphere.I reach out to touch, but you’re not there,
Our love is a memory beyond repair,
The love that slipped away, it’s hard to bear,
But life goes on, despite the despair.The stars still shine, the sun still rises,
But the love that slipped away, it still surprises,
How something so real could fade away,
Leaving us alone, to find a new way.

Drowning in my Emotions #Poetry
Drowning in my Emotions
Feeling lost, feeling alone,
Drowning in my emotions, no one home.
Sadness and anger, both taking their toll,
Drowning in my emotions, I can’t be whole.Fear and anxiety, I can’t escape,
Drowning in my emotions, I’m in a daze.
Despair and sorrow, my heart’s in a bind,
Drowning in my emotions, I can’t unwind.Pain and anguish, I can’t move on,
Drowning in my emotions, I’m all alone.
Happiness and joy, I can’t find,
Drowning in my emotions, I’m out of my mind.Hope and faith, I can’t see,
Drowning in my emotions, I’m stuck in a sea.

Tears on a Lonely Pillow
Tears on a Lonely Pillow
Tears on a lonely pillow,
A heartbroken soul in despair,
Memories of love that once filled the room,
Now replaced by an empty chair.The night feels so cold and lonely,
As tears fall from weary eyes,
A heart that once was whole and happy,
Now broken and shattered, filled with sighs.The sound of silence is deafening,
As the pain of love lost sets in,
The pillow offers a soft place to rest,
As the tears continue to begin.Oh, how the heart can ache so much,
From a love that was meant to last,
Tears on a lonely pillow,
Remind us of the love that’s now past.

Hope and Despair
Hope and Despair
Hope is a light that shines so bright,
A beacon in the darkest night,
A gentle voice that whispers low,
“Have faith, dear heart, and onward go.”Despair is a weight that drags us down,
A heavy chain we wear like a crown,
A voice that mocks our feeble dreams,
And drowns out hope’s bright, hopeful beams.Hope and despair, two opposing forces,
That shape our lives and chart our courses.

I Fell Into the Abyss
I Fell Into the Abyss
I fell into the abyss, dark and deep,
Into a world where dreams can’t keep,
All the light had faded away,
Leaving me to my dismay.Lost in the depths of my mind,
No way out, no hope to find,
Tumbling down into the unknown,
I fell into the abyss alone.

Sinking Screaming
Sinking Screaming
Sinking, screaming, drowning in despair,
The weight of the world too much to bear,
I struggle and fight, gasping for air,
But the darkness surrounds me everywhere.I reach for a hand, a lifeline to cling,
But my cries go unheard, my voice cannot sing,
The silence is deafening, my heart starts to sting,
As I realize I am alone in this thing.The water rises, the pressure intense,
I feel myself slipping, losing all sense,
I close my eyes and say a prayer,
Hoping that someone will soon be there.But as I sink further, the light fades away,
And I am left with nothing to say,
Except for a scream, a sound of dismay,
As I am swallowed by the depths of decay.

Heaven and Hell
Heaven and Hell
Heaven and hell, two opposite realms
One so pure, the other so overwhelmed
Yet both hold a power beyond compare
One with love, the other with despairOne can lift us up, the other can bring us low
Both can shape us, and make us grow
For heaven can show us a world of light
And hell can teach us to fight

The Weight of Darkness
The Weight of Darkness
The darkness looms, a heavy weight,
That drags me down with every step,
Its tendrils wrap around my soul,
And fill my heart with deep regret.It whispers lies, it feeds my fears,
It tells me that I’m all alone,
That nothing matters, nothing’s real,
That hope is but an empty throne.The weight of darkness bears me down,
And makes it hard to see the light,
The world around me fades to black,
And hope is lost in endless night.But still I fight, I strive to break,
The chains that bind me to this pain,
I search for light amid the dark,
And hope that I’ll be whole again.For though the weight of darkness seems,
Too heavy for my soul to bear,
I know that with each step I take,
I’m one step closer to fresh air.
-
The Long Night of the Soul
In the depths of my despair,
I wander through a long, dark night,
No stars to guide my way,
No end in sight, no glimmer of light.My soul is heavy with sorrow,
My heart is filled with endless pain,
Each step feels like a thousand,
And hope is but a distant refrain.The night drags on forever,
With no respite, no relief,
My thoughts are bleak and bitter,
And joy is but a fleeting belief.The weight of sadness bears me down,
And steals my breath, my very soul,
I long for release from this prison,
But the darkness remains in control.Yet still I walk, I journey on,
Through the long night of my soul,
Hoping one day to find the dawn,
And let the darkness cede control.For though it seems an endless trial,
And the way ahead is long and steep,
I know that in the end I’ll find,
The peace and rest I long to keep.© VishalDutia

Hope and Despair
Hope and Despair
A flicker of hope, a ray of light
Can bring us from the depths of night
But when despair takes hold of our soul
We struggle to maintain controlHope and despair, they both abide
In hearts that ache and minds that hide
But through it all, we must believe
That hope will triumph and despair will leave

Obsessed with the Pain
Obsessed with the Pain
The pain consumes, it never fades
My mind is trapped in this darkened haze
I can’t escape this endless cycle
My thoughts consumed by this bitter bileThe pain is all I know, all I feel
It’s become a part of me that’s all too real
I’m lost in the grip of this obsession
Trapped in this cycle without any confession
