Morning breaks, the sea’s calm, the waves have settled,
No more boiling over, the kettle’s unbent.
Life’s trials and tribulations, a never-ending trial,
Judge and jury, they’ve taken your smile.
Miles of road, a journey through tribulations,
Dark thoughts arise, heavy with ideations.
Depression, a beast with a pitchfork and horns,
Genetic affliction, a burden from birth’s morn.
Scarlet letters, unseen by the world’s eyes,
Branded on the mind, a silent Greek fraternity’s cries.
Stepping on joy, a dance to a somber beat,
But perseverance wins, not defeat.
Fairy tales, a grand deception, a story they sell,
Life’s daily grind, a living hell.
But the final bell hasn’t rung, the marathon’s still on,
So rise each morning, the race to carry on.

Virginity
A beautiful thing, inncocious and full of life.
Pure and true, a gift made to be kept.
Locked away in cells of cherry blossom and light
Hidden away from the world in a night.
The virgin once was so sure of her might
That no one could take away her delight
But soon she’d find that all too soon
Her gift may be too easy to consume
But as she plows the wind that blows,
She’ll find her own strengths and foes
In her quest to keep her treasure safe
Will stay pure against all wave
Hero of her own story of might
She will never give in without a fight
Her power comes from deep within
She will keep her virginity from loathsome sins.

Nocturnal Strife
In the dead of night, a young boy takes flight, A vampiric visage, a sinister sight. When the world’s asleep, and darkness reigns, He haunts the streets, igniting his pains.
His parents’ slumber, a veil to his crime, Their child transformed, a creature of time. A thirst for chaos, a hunger profound, In the cover of night, his victims are found.
At clubs and parties, where merriment chimes, He slashes and carves, in the name of his crimes. A twisted desire, a heart turned to coal, Leaving behind a trail of horror untold.
But within his soul, a conflict doth brew, Between light and darkness, the false and the true. A vampire slasher, a creature of strife, Trapped in the chaos of his double-edged life.
And like Peter Tosh, the rebel of old, A story untold, a truth to be bold. A struggle within, a fight to be free, From the darkness that binds, and the path he can’t see.
For the vampire slasher, in shadows he roams, A young boy lost in his twisted psychone. But redemption’s embrace, a glimmer of hope, May guide him back to the light on his scope.

Solstice
Oh, solstice, time of turning,
When light and dark convene,
A cosmic dance of balance,
A sacred pause unseen.In summer’s radiant splendor,
The sun ascends its throne,
A fiery ball of brilliance,
That warms us to the bone.At winter’s darkest vigil,
When night’s embrace is deep,
A glimmer of rebirth awakes,
As shadows gently creep.Solstice, sacred threshold,
Where worlds collide and blend,
A timeless mystery unfolds,
A story yet unpenned.Let us gather on this day,
To celebrate the light,
To honor darkness too,
And all that lies between.For in the dance of opposites,
We find our perfect place,
A cosmic tapestry of life,
Where time and space embrace.Solstice, time of turning,
When light and dark convene,
A sacred pause for wonder,
Where dreams and magic teem.balance, blend, brilliance, celebrate, Collide, convene, cosmic dance, cosmic tapestry, dark, darkest vigil, dreams, fiery ball, gather, glimmer of rebirth, honor, life, light, magic, night’s embrace, Opposites, perfect place, Poetry, radiant splendor, sacred pause, shadows, solstice, space, Story, summer, sun, threshold, throne, Time, timeless mystery, turning, winter, wonder, worlds

A story is never over
A story is never over
Though the page is turned, the pen is down
The words may fade, the characters may go
But the story lives on in the mindThe reader takes the story with them
To places they’ve never been before
To meet people they’ve never known
To experience things they’ve never feltThe story becomes part of them
It shapes their thoughts, their feelings, their dreams
It gives them something to hold on to
When the world seems dark and coldSo a story is never over
It’s always there, waiting to be told
To be read, to be shared, to be loved
To be passed on from one person to anotherSo let’s keep telling stories
Let’s keep the magic alive
Let’s keep the world dreaming

Unveil Your Truth
Concealment breeds shame,
Denial leads to isolation,
Your authenticity deserves claim,
Embrace your unique creation.

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.

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

Memories are something…
Memories are something that we hold dear,
A treasure trove of moments, far and near.
They bring us joy, they bring us tears,
They shape our lives throughout the years.
Some memories are like a warm embrace,
A comforting feeling we can’t replace.
Others are like a sharp pain,
A wound that never quite heals again.
But even the painful memories have their place,
For they remind us of life’s complex grace.
Of the people we’ve loved and lost,
And the lessons we’ve learned at great cost.
Memories are like a tapestry,
Woven with threads of our history.
Each one unique, each one a part,
Of the story that makes up our heart.
So hold on tight to your memories true,
For they’ll always be a part of you.
And though time may try to steal them away,
Your memories will live on every day.

The Poetry of Life
Life is a journey, full of twists and turns
With moments of joy and times that burn
It’s a canvas we paint with every breath we take
A story we write with every decision we makeIn poetry, we find solace for our soul
As words unravel the mysteries that life holds
It’s a reflection of our deepest fears and desires
A mirror that shows us what our heart requiresThe rhythm of life beats in every verse
As we navigate through blessings and curse
Our journey may be long, but poetry is our guide
To help us find meaning in this beautiful ride.

Sunset’s Serenade
When the sun goes down,
The world slows down,
The sky turns gold,
The day’s story is told.
The birds fly home,
The stars start to roam,
The moon takes its place,
The world’s a quieter space.
The trees whisper secrets,
The breeze sings sweet regrets,
The night is young and free,
A time for you and me.

Each one unique, with its shape and its range.

For every single one has a story to share.

Hong Kong Red Light Streets
Hong Kong Red Light Streets
In Hong Kong’s red light streets, the night comes alive,
A world of temptation, that’s hard to survive,
The neon lights, they flicker, with a seductive glow,
A place of pleasure, that’s hard to let go.The women, they stand, in their sultry attire,
A vision of beauty, that’s hard to acquire,
Their eyes, they sparkle, with a dangerous flame,
A world of secrets, that’s hard to tame.The men, they come, with a hunger so deep,
A desire for pleasure, that’s hard to keep,
Their hearts, they race, with a primal need,
A world of pleasure, that’s hard to concede.But behind the glamour, lies a story so sad,
A world of exploitation, that’s hard to fathom,
The women, they’re trapped, in a cycle so cruel,
A world of pain, that’s hard to overrule.In Hong Kong’s red light streets, the night comes alive,
A world of temptation, that’s hard to survive,
But behind the facade, lies a story so dark,
A world of sorrow, that’s hard to embark.

The Prisms of Life
Life’s spectrum shines bright
Reflecting prisms of pure light
A multitude of colors dance
In each precious, fleeting glanceFrom birth to death, we journey through
The prisms of life, old and new
Each moment a hue to behold
A story of color to unfoldGolden sunsets and amber leaves
The hues of autumn weave and breathe
Winter’s chill, a crystal sight
A prism of blue, icy and brightSpring flowers in rosy bloom
A prism of pink, their sweet perfume
Summer days of emerald green
A prism of life, a vibrant sceneThe prisms of life, varied and true
A kaleidoscope of tales for me and you
Let’s cherish each color, each hue
For life’s prism is ever-changing and new.

With blank pages waiting for a look.
The pen is in your hand, it’s your turn,
To fill the pages, to make it burn.Write your own story, let it unfold,
With tales of bravery, and adventures untold.
Don’t let others hold the pen,
For this is your story, and only you can.Embrace the unknown, take a leap,
And watch as your story begins to seep.
Into the hearts of those you meet,
A tale of courage, of hope, and of defeat.

When Unique Pieces Come Together to Form a Beautiful Whole
When Unique Pieces Come Together to Form a Beautiful Whole
Assemble disparate fragments,
Craft a mosaic new,
Marvel at what you have conjured,
A beauty born of hue.
For each shard tells a story,
A tale your soul can read,
Gathered together in concert,
A symphony indeed.

A choreography of light,
Each tesserae a treasure,
A gem to catch the sight.

A dazzling sight to behold,
A puzzle once in pieces,
A masterpiece now whole.

Set Aside What’s Been Lost
Set Aside What’s Been Lost
The story inside my heart,
Is a tale of love and pain that I never could part.The walls of my soul,
Have told me time and time again, that I should let go.Let go of the hurt,
Let go of the pain,
And let go of the sadness that runs through my veins.Set aside what’s been lost,
And look for what’s been found,
For only then can we truly move onward and around.The past may be dark,
But if we just look past,
We can find a bright future and a hope that will last.So set aside what’s been lost,
And look for what’s been found,
For only then can we find peace and a place to abide.

A Poet of the Heart
A Poet of the Heart
I can feel my file,
As it pulses through my veins,
A part of me, a piece of my style,
A symphony of thoughts, a mental refrain.It’s the essence of my being,
The story of my life,
The words that I am seeing,
The joys, the pain, the strife.It’s a reflection of my soul,
A mirror to my mind,
A place where I’m whole,
And my thoughts are free to find.I can feel my file,
A treasure trove of dreams,
The memories that make me smile,
And the nightmares, or so it seems.It’s a window to my style,
And my imagination’s reins.
A power that can beguile,
And free me from all my chains.So let my words flow like a river,
And my thoughts take to the sky,
For I can feel my file forever,
And it will never truly die.For though mortality may claim me,
And my body may depart,
I’ll remain a poet of the heart,
For my words will live on and be free.© VishalDutia
