Over and above

Over and above the petty things
That divide us, there is something more.
A bond that unites us, all the same,
A common thread that runs through all our names.

It is the thread of humanity,
The thing that makes us who we are.
It is the thing that binds us together,
No matter what our race or creed or star.

So let us put aside our differences,
And come together as one.
Let us celebrate our shared humanity,
And build a better world for all.

Forget the dogma and the doctrine,
The rituals and the dogma.
Let us focus on what unites us,
Not what divides us.

Let us build a world where everyone is welcome,
Where everyone is loved and respected.
A world where we can all live in peace,
And harmony.

This is the world that I dream of,
A world where humanity is over and above.
A world where we can all come together,
And make a difference.

Life is like a pot of boiling water

Life is like a pot of boiling water
We are the vegetables inside
Some are soft and tender, like potatoes
Some are hard and crunchy, like carrots
Some are green and leafy, like spinach
Some are red and spicy, like peppers

Each vegetable has its own flavor and texture
Each vegetable has its own role and purpose
But together, they make a delicious soup
A soup that nourishes and warms us
A soup that is more than the sum of its parts

Life is like a pot of boiling water
We are the vegetables inside
We may be different, but we are all connected
We may face challenges, but we can overcome them
We may lose our shape, but we gain our essence

The cynosure

She is the cynosure of all gazes,
The object of lust,
The one who kindles passions,
The one who freezes time.

She is a spectacle of flawlessness,
A legend of lore,
A rarity so exquisite,
She could only dwell in fantasies.

The Hi-Fi of Life

The hi-fi of life is not the sound
Of music blasting through the air.
It’s not the latest album or the band
That’s making all the charts this year.

The hi-fi of life is found in small things,
The moments that we often miss.
A smile from a stranger, a warm embrace,
A kind word spoken in good measure.

It’s the feeling of being loved and cared for,
The sense of belonging and being part.
It’s the joy of giving and receiving,
The simple pleasures that make life worth living.

So don’t search for the hi-fi of life in far-off places.
It’s right here, all around you.
Open your eyes and your heart,
And you’ll see it all around.

The last drop

The last drops of rain fell from the sky
As I watched you walk away, without a goodbye
You took everything from me, my heart, my soul, my pride
And left me with nothing, but tears in my eyes

the last drops of hope dried in my chest
As I realized you were gone, and I had failed the test
You were the reason for my smile, my joy, my life
And now I have nothing, but pain and strife

the last drops of love faded in my mind
As I tried to forget you, and leave you behind
You were the one for me, my dream, my fate
And now I have nothing, but anger and hate

the last drops of me crumbled in your hands
As you broke me into pieces, and scattered me in the sands
You were my everything, my all, my whole
And now I have nothing, but a broken soul

Life is life

Life is life, and what is more
Than life? A little song
Of joy or sorrow, more
Or less, a little day
Of sun or shade, of play
Or work, of love or hate,
Of laughter or of tears,
A little space between
The cradle and the grave.

Life is life, and what is less
Than life? A little dream
Of beauty, or of bliss,
A little hope, a gleam
Of sunshine on a cloud,
A little starlight thrown
Across the shadows deep,
A little joy unknown,
A little grief unwept.

Life is life, and what is best
Than life? A little love
That fills the heart above
With joy, and makes it move
With strength and purity,
And makes it live and be
A little light of God
In the great darkness here.

Love is a temporary thing

Love is a temporary thing,
A fleeting moment in time,
A spark that ignites and then burns,
But soon is turned to embers and ash.

It’s a feeling that comes and goes,
A wave that washes over you,
Bringing joy and happiness,
But also pain and sorrow too.

It’s a risk that we all take,
To give our hearts to another,
In the hope that it will last,
But knowing that it may not.

So if you find yourself in love,
Enjoy it while it lasts,
And don’t be afraid to let go,
When the time comes for it to end.

For love is a temporary thing,
But the memories will last a lifetime.

It’s Time To

It’s time to let go of the past,
To forgive and forget.
It’s time to move on,
To start anew.

It’s time to dream big,
To reach for the stars.
It’s time to believe in yourself,
To know that you can do anything.

It’s time to take risks,
To live life to the fullest.
It’s time to be happy,
To enjoy every moment.

It’s time to make a difference,
To leave your mark on the world.
It’s time to live your life,
To make it count.

So go out there and do it,
Whatever it is that you want to do.
It’s time to seize the day,
To make your dreams come true.

It’s time to live,
To love,
To laugh,
To dream.

It’s time to be happy.

Like fading rays

Like fading rays of the setting sun
You left me in the dark, alone and undone
You were the light of my life, the warmth of my soul
But you slipped away from me, leaving a gaping hole

I still remember the days we spent together
Laughing and loving, promising forever
But now those memories are all that remain
A bitter reminder of what I can’t regain

I wonder if you ever think of me
Or if you have moved on, happy and free
I wish I could see you one more time
To tell you how much I miss you, how much you were mine

But I know that’s just a hopeless dream
A fantasy that can never be
So I’ll just keep you in my heart
Like fading rays that never part

Feelings and Emotions are Like Flowers

Love is like a rose,
With its sweet and delicate petals.
It can be fragile and easily bruised,
But it can also be strong and resilient.

Joy is like a sunflower,
Always turning towards the sun.
It is a positive and uplifting emotion,
That can brighten even the darkest day.

Sadness is like a violet,
Hidden in the shadows.
It is a quiet and gentle emotion,
That can be difficult to express.

Anger is like a dandelion,
With its sharp and prickly seeds.
It can be a destructive emotion,
If it is not controlled.

Fear is like a daisy,
With its white petals and yellow center.
It is a natural emotion,
That can help us to stay safe.

Hope is like a lotus flower,
Growing in the mud.
It is a powerful emotion,
That can help us to overcome adversity.

Peace is like a garden,
Full of different flowers.
It is a state of harmony,
Where all emotions are welcome.

Feelings and emotions are like flowers.

They are all beautiful and unique,
And they all have their own special meaning.

So let’s celebrate our feelings and emotions,
And let them bloom in all their beauty.

A Morning Prayer

Emerge,
My dearest,
Reveal your eyes,
The day has ascended so luminous.

Ascend,
Oh dearest,
I’ll escort you, clutching your finger,
The garden of ecstasy and splendor.

Observe,
Across the window,
The sun, to enlighten the course,
Has conferred its light.

Come,
My cherished,
Long and strenuous, the voyage may be,
The direction ahead remains straight.

Walk,
Oh cherished,
Keeping your sight on every pace,
Lest a stone may cause a stumble.

Oh dearest,
Reveal your eyes,
The day has ascended so luminous.
The sun, to enlighten the course,
Has conferred its light.

Sands of time

The sands of time are falling fast,
Each grain a moment gone,
Each moment lost, can never be replaced,
So make the most of each one.

Don’t waste your time on things that don’t matter,
Spend it with the people you love,
Do the things that make you happy,
And live each day to the fullest.

The sands of time are running out,
Don’t let them slip through your fingers,
Make the most of every moment,
And live your life to the fullest.

It’s you

It’s you I see in my dreams,
Your face so full of grace,
Your smile so warm and bright,
Your eyes like stars at night.

It’s you I think of all the time,
Your laugh that fills me up,
Your touch that makes me feel safe,
Your love that makes me whole.

It’s you I want to spend my life with,
To grow old with and laugh with,
To love and cherish forever,
To be my everything.

It’s you, it’s always you,
The one I can’t live without,
The one I love more than words can say,
The one who makes my heart sing.

The Heart’s Desire

I long to hold you close,
To feel your heart beating against mine,
To breathe in your scent,
And taste your lips.

I long to gaze into your eyes,
To see the love that I know is there,
To tell you how I feel,
And to hear you say the same.

I long to spend the rest of my life with you,
To love you and cherish you,
To be your best friend,
And your lover.

You are my everything,
My dream come true,
The love of my life.

I will love you forever.

Love’s Melody

Your eyes are like the stars,
So bright and full of light,
They draw me in and make me stay,
And never want to go.

Your lips are like the rose,
So soft and full of grace,
They tempt me to taste their sweetness,
And never want to let go.

Your skin is like the silk,
So smooth and soft to touch,
I want to run my fingers through it,
And never want to let go.

Your voice is like the music,
So sweet and full of love,
It fills my heart with joy,
And makes me want to sing.

I am lost in your love,
And I never want to find my way out,
For you are my everything,
And I love you more than words can say.

Lullaby

Sleep, my child, and dream of dreams,
Of faraway lands and seas.
Of unicorns and rainbows,
Of castles in the trees.

Sleep, my child, and know no fear,
For I am here beside you.
I will protect you from harm,
And keep you safe and sound.

Sleep, my child, and dream of love,
Of all the good things in life.
Of laughter and joy and peace,
Of a world without strife.

Sleep, my child, and rest your head,
For tomorrow is a new day.
And I will be here to greet you,
With a smile and a hug and a song.

Let your emotions soar

Let your emotions soar
Like the birds in the sky,
Free and untethered,
Unafraid to fly.

Don’t hold them back,
Don’t try to contain them,
Let them flow through you
Like a river of rain.

Let them fill you up
With joy and love and peace,
Let them carry you away
To places unknown.

Let your emotions soar
And touch the stars,
Let them set your soul on fire
And make your heart sing.

Don’t be afraid to feel
The full range of human emotion,
It’s what makes us human
And what makes life worth living.

So let your emotions soar
And let them take you on a journey
To a place of beauty and wonder
That you never knew existed.

What Goes Around

What you do to others,
Will come back to you.
So be kind and generous,
And always do what’s true.

If you spread hate and anger,
You’ll reap the same in kind.
But if you sow love and compassion,
You’ll find your heart will find.

What goes around comes around,
So be mindful of your deeds.
For the universe has a way,
Of balancing all the creeds.

So choose to be the change you want to see,
And make the world a better place.
For what goes around comes around,
And that’s a fact of life, my dear.

I’d Rather Be Here

I’d rather be here,
With the sun on my face,
And the wind in my hair.

I’d rather be here,
With the sound of the waves,
And the smell of the sea.

I’d rather be here,
With the warmth of your hand,
And the love in your eyes.

I’d rather be here,
With you,
Than anywhere else in the world.

I know that there are other places,
With other things to see and do.

But I don’t care about those places,
Because I’m happy here,
With you.

So if you ever ask me,
Where I’d rather be,
I’ll say,
“I’d rather be here,
With you.”

And my heart was full of joy.

And helped someone in need.

I felt alive,
When I was true to myself,
And lived my life to the fullest.

And I will never forget it.

The Three Books

The Bhagavad Gita, the Bible, and the Quran,
Three sacred texts, from different lands,
They teach us all the same, in different words,
The path to truth and love and hands. They tell us of a higher power,
A God who loves us all,
Who created us in his image,
And gave us free will to choose our call. They teach us to be kind and compassionate,
To help those in need,
To forgive those who have wronged us,
And to love our enemies. They tell us to live a moral life,
To be honest and just,
To be true to ourselves,
And to do what is right. These three books are a gift to us,
A guide to living a good life,
If we follow their teachings,
We will find peace and happiness. So let us read these books,
And learn from their wisdom,
Let us live our lives by their teachings,
And make the world a better place.

Heart’s Refuge

My yearning soul craves the tactile embrace,
of fingers intertwined, a tender entwine,
the memories of which ignite a burning blaze,
inside my chest, a fiery, fervent shrine.

Each pulse, a cry, a summons to reunite,
with you, my love, my heart’s sole delight,
the scent of whom permeates my every sight,
a fragrance that transcends the morning light.

Together, our lips, a perfect fusion,
two souls becoming one, an infinite fusion,
tongues dancing, a sensual, passionate communion,
in this embrace, our spirits find their conclusion.

Your touch, a balm, a solace to my heart,
feeding my soul, a nourishing work of art,
quenching my thirst, a drink from Love’s pure start,
leaving me lost, in your loving apart.

In your eyes, a refuge, a haven, a home,
where fears subside, and trust becomes a throne,
with you, my love, my heart finds its sanctum,
forever bound, a captive, in your love’s dominion.

You, my beloved, my heart’s ultimate quest,
the one who holds the key to my soul’s deepest nest,
in your embrace, my every desire finds its rest,
forevermore, my heart, a prisoner of your breast.

Whispers Among Trees

Through the wide expanse of trees,
The winds whisper secrets, soft and free.
Caressed by gentle zephyrs, whispered with grace,
A melody of secrets, adrift in this sacred space.

Whispers carried by the breeze’s gentle sway,
Tales of love and longing, in a mysterious way.
The trees sway in rhythm, as if in harmony,
Singing the ballad of you and me.

In the language of leaves, the secrets unfurl,
The winds, faithful messengers, in a beautiful swirl.
They tell of stolen glances and hearts filled with fire,
Of whispered promises, igniting desire.

In the dance of the branches, a symphony of desire,
The breeze weaves a tapestry, setting souls afire.
Oh, how the winds sing, in a language so rare,
The story of us, woven through the autumn air.

So listen, dear lover, to the whispers in the trees,
Their ethereal chorus, carried on gentle breeze.
For in their subtle rustle, the secrets will be found,
The love that blooms in silence, with a tender sound.

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.

The Silence of Desire

We whisper secrets in the night
Afraid to speak of passion’s flight
Oral sex, a taboo delight
Hush, hush, let’s keep it out of sight

Shame and fear, they hold us back
From expressing what we want to attack
Desires that burn deep within
But we hide, afraid to give in

Culture and religion, they play a part
In shaping our views of the human heart
Sexuality, a sensitive topic indeed
Makes us blush and turn red

But why should we be ashamed?
Of pleasure that’s natural and tamed?
Let’s break free from society’s chains
And embrace our true desires and pains

So come, let’s talk about oral sex
With open minds and hearts that connect
Let’s celebrate our passions pure
And embrace our sexual power.

What If?

What if the numbers, in all their splendor,
Could calculate the whims of our endeavor?
What if formulas, precise and grand,
Could explain love’s chaos, so hard to understand?

What if equations, so boldly scripted,
Could solve the riddles of hearts conflicted?
What if atoms, in their intricate dance,
Could predict the outcome of a fleeting romance?

Ah, imagine the wonders, the possibilities,
If science held the keys to love’s uncertainties!
But alas, dear friends, let’s not be deceived,
For matters of the heart cannot be quantitatively believed.

No theorem or hypothesis can comprehend,
The mysteries of emotions, where they begin and end.
So, let us revel in the unknown’s sweet delight,
For in love’s uncharted realm, true magic takes flight.

You live in my pages

Within the confines of my notebook, your presence thrives,
Where prose and reverie entwine, an enchanting blend derives.
A woven fabric of ideas given life through my pen’s trace,
An ethereal tapestry, where our collective narrative finds its place.

Everytime She masturbates

Everytime She masturbates
The feeling is unmatchable
so unexplainable
The rub at each folds
from slow to fast pace
By herself only, she knows no middle pace

At each rub she imagines
Him to be inside of hers
She wonders if their lips also sync
with the erratic heartbeat of hers

At each rubbing her folds
She imagine him to with her
Will he kiss the breasts
where nipples envelope with her sweat

She imagines to be with him
Him to be deep inside of her
moving from slow to middle,
middle to fast, then again fast to middle then middle to slow

sometimes torturous but yet so pleasurable

Everytime She masturbates
She imagines to be with him

Over-thinker’s Love

When an over-thinker says they love you,
Know that they’ve battled their demons through.
Their love is a treasure to cherish,
A melody of their lifelong song.
Trust their heart, filled with devotion,
For their love, amidst chaos, is true.

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.

Life sucks and then life fucks

Life sucks, with sorrow and strife,
And we struggle to survive.
But then life fucks, with fortune and fame,
And we bask in its brilliant flame.

Laughter and love, luck and lust,
Life’s fickleness can be unjust.
Yet we persevere, with passion and pride,
Through the highs and lows of life’s wild ride.

Lingering losses and lessons learned,
Life’s bittersweet blessings are earned.
So let’s live fully, and never give up,
For life sucks and then life fucks.

Fate’s Fury

I share my poison, serpentine and venomous
Heart’s rhythm changes, radioactive iridium
Scorpion rides to war, battling fate’s fury
Power trapped beneath skin, acidic evidence
Disguise disappears, clouds clear, no heaven in sight
Martyred, longing for love, yearning to beat the drum

Fantasizing of a home, fate’s tricks, misery’s sound
Together or alone, suffering is all that’s found
Midnight calls, gravity shakes, crumbling, maybe
One more bowl to numb, letting go seems so crazy

Pain sworn to fight, contortion in chest, finding a way
Crippled heart seeks peace, life’s light at end of the day

Stone Sea

Water turned into stone, trenches engrave bones known
God forsaken or forsaken Him, back to water, thirst’s groan

Sadness toast, hat tipped to despair, anger seethes in silence’s lair
Searching for light, sun’s fragments touched, disappearing at night’s glare

Fate’s jaws trapped, something to contemplate, pain religion, belief overdue
Anguish commemorates love’s giving heart, beats in isolation, soul blue.

Yearning for Connection

It is a yearning, from within the earth
This wish to hold and to be held, a sense of worth
To feel the warmth of another’s embrace
To find solace in a lover’s grace

The earth itself desires connection
A longing for love, a natural reflection
Of the human heart’s deepest yearnings
For a love that’s true, and forever burning

To hold and be held, is a primal need
To share one’s life, and plant a seed
Of love, that grows and blossoms bright
A bond that’s strong, and always right

The yearning for connection, runs deep
A longing for love, that’s hard to keep
Bottled up, inside one’s heart
For the fear of being torn apart

But take a chance, and let love in
Embrace the warmth, and let it begin
For in the end, it’s all we need
Connection, love, and hearts that bleed.

Silenced by Rape: A Survivor’s Journey to Healing

Trust broken, emotions drowned in rain
He promised love, but only brought pain
His touch barely a medicine to heal
His intentions unclear, filled me with fear

He smelled me like a new animal
Reacting to his abnormality, I pushed away
But he silenced me with a bruised, chapped kiss
His hands roamed, corpulent body pressed against mine

Claws like birds of prey, he pounced
Taking my bust with violent force
As if I was the last piece of bread on earth
He parted my legs and entered me

Cold blood ran through my veins
Mourning with élan, I was unable to protest
As he explored me with his tongue and lips
Playing me like a toy, ignoring my pain

But I refuse to let this define me
I am more than the sum of my parts
I will not let his actions consume me
For I am a survivor, with a beating heart

I will find my own strength to bear this alone
For I am cultured, civilized, and strong
And though life can be tragically beautiful
I will rise above it all, and carry on.

Fighting Demons

Can’t put these feelings into words anymore
Everyone I loved, walked through the door
Moving from my bed, pacing the floor
Gave my heart, they still wanted more

Losing my mind, hating mankind
Feeling undefined, depression’s bind
Trying not to hear, voices in my head
Depression wants me dead, urging me to shred

“Just one cut,” they say, “pain will go away”
“Just one pill,” they sway, forcing me to kill
Lost and found by darkness, a mess to suppress
Numbness is my address, pain is my stress

Need a piece of cake, or a lock in the oven to bake
Can’t feel, am I even real, will they still love me if I reveal?
Heart beating like a congo drum, louder than the hum
Nobody hears, nobody cares, can’t even breathe air

Molly, weed, or vodka, what do I need?
Fighting demons, they feed, on my pain, they feed
Surrounded by love, but demons lurk within
A fight I can’t win, for it’s internal, deep within

Journal’s my only solace, no one knows my pain
A constant fight against demons, I can’t even name
Introvert coated in extrovert, they see the chocolate
But not the nuts beneath, take a bite, discover the truth, I beg you to docket

Fighting demons, a battle within
Love and pain, numbness and sin
Hoping for help, seeking a way out
Fighting demons, with every breath and shout

Pilgrimage of Love

Every man takes a pilgrimage in life
And finding your heart has been my own strife
Not perfect, too holy for my presence
Nor of clay, to be fashioned by my whims with no essence

But life has scarred you, sometimes broken
Whose pieces, my pieces might fit within
I see you with all your faults and failings
Simply praying you’ll look past all my own yearnings

Let us practice Kintsugi together, mend broken vessels
Learn to fly with broken wings, and mingle broken poetry and laughter
Share tears of sorrow and of joy, and dance with me who is no dancer
Sing with me who has no voice, and I’ll fight for you who needs stronger armor

Where we came from doesn’t matter, who we are is a fading dream
Help me lose a heart too long jaded, let us live for simple grace, it seems
I am a pilgrim worn and tired, you the dream my vision showed
Together we’ll find the love we deserve, and never let it corrode.
