When all the world was bright with spring,
And love’s young dream was mine,
I thought no ill could ever bring
A cloud across the shine.
But, lo! the storm came sudden o’er,
The sky grew dark and drear;
And love, that seemed so bright before,
Was changed to bitter fear.
And now I know that love is blind,
And hope is all a lie;
And he who trusts in womankind
Must surely rue the day.
For love is like a summer dream,
That fades away too soon;
And he who hopes to win the gleam
Must pay the bitter boon.
So let me learn from bitterest woe
The lesson love has taught,
And never trust to woman’s vow,
Or hope to win her heart.

Lessons from Mistakes
Every mistake you made,
Is a lesson to be paid.
It’s not about the fall,
But how you stand up tall.
Mistakes can make you strong,
And teach you right from wrong.
They help you grow and learn,
And make your future firm.
Don’t let them bring you down,
Or make you wear a frown.
Embrace them with a smile,
And go the extra mile.
For every mistake you make,
Is a chance for growth to take.
So, don’t be afraid to try,
And reach for the sky.

Hiding her pain with practiced style.

A Dare That Backfires
A Dare That Backfires
A dare was set, a challenge made,
To do something bold, the stakes were laid,
With confidence high, and ego in tow,
The dare was accepted, the challenge to go.But as things unfolded, it became clear,
The dare was a trap, a mistake to fear,
For the challenge ahead, was too great to bear,
And the backfire was real, a lesson to share.

The Butterfly’s Flight #Poetry
The butterfly takes to the air
With grace and beauty, beyond compare
It flits and it floats, dances on the breeze
With every flutter, it brings peace and easeIts wings, like stained glass, catch the light
And with every movement, it shines so bright
Its colors, so vibrant, so full of life
It’s a sight to behold, without any strifeSo watch as it flies, from flower to flower
And be inspired, by its gentle power
For in its flight, there’s a lesson to be learned
That even the smallest, can make the world turn.© VishalDutia

The Enemy Within
You are your own worst enemy.
Indeed, it is you who have placed
these traps and obstacles along your path.
You underestimated the enemy inside-
its power, its strength, its perseverance.
It has overwhelmed you,
made you feel small and insignificant.
So do not waste your time in search
of an enemy in this world-
your enemy inhabits you.
You have only to look
within.© VishalDutia
