Are You Okay?

In the quiet spaces where shadows play, 
A question lingers, "Are you okay?"

A simple phrase, yet laden with care,
A bridge to hearts, a whisper in the air.        
In the echoes of laughter, or the silence profound,
It weaves through conversations, a comforting sound.
A lifeline extended with compassion's embrace,
"Are you okay?" – a refuge in grace.

Behind every smile, a tale untold,

In the warmth of a hug, secrets unfold.

A lifeline extended, like a gentle sway, 

A lifeline carried in the words,

"Are you okay?"

When storms rage within, and skies turn gray,

A lifeline reaches through the disarray.

No need for pretences, let honesty play,

Answering the question, "Are you okay?"

For in vulnerability, strength takes its stand,

A connection deeper, hand in hand.

In the tapestry of empathy, colours at play,

Woven in the question, "Are you okay?"

So, ask with sincerity, with eyes that see,

In the tapestry of life, your thread will be. 

For in the symphony of moments, in the everyday,

Resides the power of, "Are you okay?

Sighs of an inner child

 

In the caverns of the heart, where shadows dance,

Lies the echo of a past, a wounded trance.

Inner childhood wounds, silent and deep,

Whispers of pain that time failed to sweep.

 

Tiny footsteps in a world unkind,

Innocence shattered, left far behind.

A playground of memories stained with tears,

Where the passage of time magnifies fears.

 

The playground echoes with laughter and cries,

Yet, within, a wounded child silently sighs.

Scars unseen, etched on the soul,

Tales of a past that took its toll.

 

A tender spirit, once pure and free,

Now bears the weight of what used to be.

Broken dreams and shattered trust,

In the gallery of memories, they combust.

 

But within the darkness, a flicker remains,

A resilient spirit that still sustains.

For healing begins when we turn within,

Face the wounds, let the mending begin.

 

Embrace the child who longs to be heard,

Speak to the pain with a gentle word.

In the garden of self, sow seeds of grace,

Let love and acceptance find their place.

 

With each sunrise, a chance to renew,

To heal the wounds, to start anew.

For the inner child seeks a gentle hand,

To guide them home, to understand.

 

So, let compassion be the balm we wield,

To heal the wounds that time concealed.

In the tapestry of life, where shadows loom,

Find solace and strength in the inner child's room.

Hum jaisa pyaar

Koi hum se hum jaisa pyaar kare

Na koi gila, na koi shikwa kare,

Ae dost, koi hum se hum jaisa pyaar kare!

Muse of my verses

In the corners of  

my restless mind, 

Where fantasies and 

dreams entwined,

There blooms a flower, delicate, shy,

A crush that makes my heart take flight.

Your smile, a beacon in the night,

Your laughter, like a song in flight,

In every word, a hidden art,

You've captured the core of my beating heart.

I watch you from afar, unseen,

In your presence, I feel serene,

A silent whisper in the breeze,

My heart adrift upon the seas.

Your eyes, they sparkle like the stars,

In them, I find the deepest scars,

Of love unspoken, yet profound,

A crush that makes my world go round.

I paint your name in constellations,

In the realm of my imaginations,

A muse for verses yet to be,

A crush that feels like destiny.

Yet here I stand, a silent gaze,

Lost within this love-struck daze,

Hoping that you might one day see,

The crush you are, dear one, to me.

In the tapestry of passing days,

A crush like sunlight's gentle blaze,

A fleeting moment, yet so dear,

My secret crush, I hold you close.

Eternal soul dance

In the garden where
love does bloom,

A sweet enchantment
starts to loom,

Hand in hand,
hearts intertwined,

A love so pure, so unconfined.

Under the canvas of the sapphire skies,

Where every moment truly flies,

In laughter shared and joy so deep,

Love's promises, forever to keep.

A dance of souls, both wild and free, 
In your eyes, my world I see,

Whispers soft as the morning light,

Love so strong, it takes its flight.

In gentle touches, passion's fire,

A love that never will tire,

A melody played by two hearts in tune,

Underneath the endless moon.

With every sunrise, love does grow,

A river that continues to flow,

A tapestry woven,
strong and bright,

A beacon through
both day and night.

Your laughter, like a melody,

Resounds within,
sets my heart free,

In your arms, I've found my home,

In this love, we'll eternally roam.

In happy love, we both have found,

A bond that echoes, all around,

In every smile, in every tear,

Our love story, forever dear.

An Untold love saga

In shadows deep where moonlight wanes,

A heart aglow, but love in chains, 

Unrequited, a silent plea,

In every sigh, a desperate plea.

A love, unasked, yet fiercely yearned,

In dreams, the flame forever burned,

But in your eyes, no spark to find,

A love, unclaimed, left lost, maligned.

Like autumn leaves that dance, then fall,

My hopes, they rise, then swiftly pall,

In echoes of your distant voice,

I find no solace, just a choice.

To linger in this bittersweet,

A love that's tender, yet replete,

With longing, pure, and so divine,

Yet lost in time, like ancient rhyme.

Your smiles, a sun that rarely gleams,

Yet in my heart, the endless streams,

Of affection, like rivers, flow,

Yet never in your heart, they grow.

In every beat, your name it calls,

Yet in your heart, the silence falls,

Unrequited, a lonely dove,

Yet still, I cherish this sweet love.

For in the pain, a beauty lies,

In tears that fall from longing eyes,

A tale of love, though never told,

A saga written, yet untold.

Letting you go

I decided to let you go.

A loss for me, a win for you,

But I let you go.

It wasn't meant to be,

You and I weren't meant to be.

From the start to the finish,

we were broken pieces.

Broken pieces don't fit in!

Empty beds, empty rooms, silent anger,
Slammed doors, unanswered questions,
An endless silence!

Blaring TV sets, untouched meals, unshed tears.

Cracks deepen, walls crash,

Debris remain!

Dead relationships find their grave!

Living like an incomplete jigsaw puzzle,

The Yin and Yang all messed up,

We moved apart further!

We just didn't fit, 
We couldn't be fixed.

One last time we met,
I wished you happiness,

I decided to let you go.

A loss for me, a win for you,

But I let you go!
