The Colour of Life

The Colour of Life

The colour of life is never just one,
It dances in rainbows, in moonlight, in sun.
It pulses in red where the heartbeats start,
In passion, in anger, in a brave beating heart.

It glimmers in gold where the dreams take flight,
In sunrise hopes and stars at night.
It softens in blue when the soul feels low,
Yet even in sorrow, there’s room to grow.

It brightens in green where the wild things bloom,
In forests of thought, in a child’s own room.
It flickers in purple, mysterious and deep,
Where secrets are buried and memories sleep.

No single hue can carry it all-
Life is a mural on time’s vast wall.
Painted in love, in struggle and grace,
The colour of life is every face.

Wings from Waiting-Part -2

-
Image
  From a silent shell I lay confined, In shadows deep, away from time. No light to guide, no sky to see, Just quiet days surrounding me. ***** Beneath a leaf I softly stayed, While unseen change within me played. The winds would sway, yet I held tight, Through patient days and hidden nights. ***** Long were the days so still and slow, With silent dreams I’d never show. No sign of change for eyes to see, Yet life was growing deep in me. ***** Until one dawn, the sun shone bright, And filled my world with golden light. My fragile shell began to break, A new and wondrous form to wake. ***** With trembling wings I rose anew, Into a world of sky and blue. Each gentle breeze would call my name, And nothing ever felt the same. ***** From bloom to bloom I danced with grace, Through open skies and endless space. On petals soft with drops of dew, I found a life so fresh and true. ***** No longer bound to dark and small, I soared beyond my fragile wall. The world once far was mine to see, A p...

Who Am I

-
Image
I ran behind my thoughts all day, They came and quickly went away. I felt desire, anger too, But none of them were really true. *** I said, “This body, this is me,” But it keeps changing constantly. My feelings rise, then fall apart- So who am I, deep in my heart? *** I stopped and sat in silence there, And looked inside with simple care. I saw my thoughts just come and go, Like clouds that drift, then leave the sky slow. *** Then I asked, “Who sees all this?” In quiet calm, in gentle peace. No word came back, no shape, no name- Just silent light, always the same. *** Now I feel still, I feel free, I am not what appears to be. Beyond all change, calm and bright- I am the one who sees the light.

Hands That Learned to Give

-
Image
I came to life beneath a quiet sky, A restless heart enclosed within my chest, I walked through crowds of unfamiliar eyes, Yet none would stay, nor offer warmth to me. **** I reached for love like branches seek the sun, But every hand withdrew before my touch, I knocked on doors that echoed back as stone, And silence answered all I tried to give. **** I cursed the world for being cold and still, For hearts that would not open when I came, Yet never once did I unbind my own, Nor let my guarded soul be truly seen. **** I gave in parts, but always held the rest, Each kindness weighed against a hidden need, No word was free from want or secret claim, No act of love escaped my careful grasp. **** And so the fields lay barren where I walked, No bloom would rise from seeds I would not free, For love, like rain, will never fall for those Who beg the sky yet will not loose their hands. **** One day I stood beside a withered tree, Its branches bare, yet reaching all the same, It asked for nothin...

The Seeds Never Spoke, The Roots’ Secret

-
Image
The seeds lay still beneath the earth, In silent dreams, they held their worth. No voice they gave, no sound they made, Yet futures in their depths were laid. *** And I was one among them there, In heavy dark, in hidden air. The soil pressed close, the weight was deep, A restless, endless kind of sleep. *** They never spoke of coming storms, of thirst, of shadow, of breaking ground- yet deep in dark, a promise stirred, a silent vow without a sound. *** No word of storms that tore me thin, No cry for drought that burned within. The shadows stayed, they did not part, They settled slowly in my heart. *** Yet down below, the roots would grow, And whisper truths I’d come to know. Through stone and silence, far and wide, They stretched with patience as their guide. *** I learned to reach without a sound, To seek for strength in barren ground. Each fragile inch was hard to claim, Each moment touched by doubt and strain. *** Still something deep refused to end, A quiet force I could not bend. ...

The Skin

-
Image
  Beneath my skin, the earth still softly speaks, In roots that knew their bond before all words. It threads my veins with memory of soil- but do you hear, or only hear yourself? *** You named my shade before you knew my name, And built a scale where light was crowned as worth. What hand declared your brightness truth alone? And who am I within the lines you drew? *** My skin bears not the measure of my soul- can you not see beyond what sight has taught? Does color hold the weight of what I am, Or must I live confined within your gaze? *** The same sun casts its fire on both our forms- why must I learn to question how I shine, While you stand certain in a borrowed light? Am I the shadow, or the truth you fear? *** The forests speak in tones I’ve always known- have you not paused to listen to their calm? The mountains stand, unbending, whole and still- must strength be loud for you to call it real? *** The rivers move unruled toward their own source- why must I ask for space to simp...

You Call Me Death

-
Image
  I am in all, and all in me, A boundless pulse of mystery. No edge, no end, no fixed design, The breath of worlds is also mine. *** I am the creator, vast and free, Weaving time’s deep voyager-me, Across the tides of what will be, I sail through all eternity. *** I am the spark that births the dawn, The force by which all forms are drawn, The dream from which all things arise, The fire behind uncounted skies. *** Yet in the same unbounded breath, You call me death-yes, I am death. I am the silence, calm and still, The turning tide, the bending will. *** I am the destructor, shadowed flame, The end that whispers every name, The fall of stars, the closing seam, The dark that cradles every dream. *** I am both kindness, soft and bright, A healing touch, a guiding light- And I am cruel, a sharpened edge, A storm that stands on reason’s ledge. *** I make the heavens, wide and high, Where silent hopes and angels lie, I shape the hells of fire and fear, Where shadows gather, drawing near...

The Fire's Silent Cry

-
Image
  I was born of friction, a whispered grace, A dance of light in a shadowed space. You called me soul, you called me might, The very essence of your inward light. From hearths where stories gently spun, To sun-kissed altars, setting free the sun, I was your breath, your sacred vow, A cleansing touch on a furrowed brow. My warmth embraced the newborn's cry, Kissed lovers' cheeks beneath the sky. I simmered low in pots of stew, And lit the path for me and you. I sealed your letters, fraught with care, And purified your whispered prayer. My flicker promised trust and grace, A tranquil solace in time and space. But then, the whisper turned to roar, A hunger gnawing at my core. You struck the match, not for the light, But to erase the morning bright. You taught me hate, a searing truth, To scorch the innocent bloom of youth. I watched as dreams, like kindling, fell, And felt the echoes of a silent hell. My meteoric stones, like fireballs flung, Hold sin's dark stains...

A Father’s Love

-
Image
In the quiet hush of night, I recall those tender hours, When my father’s arms held me with unspoken power. Long after the day’s burdens had settled into rest, He wrapped me close, my safe place, my stead. After long hours of work, when weariness pressed deep, He drew me to his chest, where I could fall asleep. Without a word, he gave me reassurance— A love so strong, it needed no utterance. I think of those nights when I drifted unaware, And he kissed my forehead, gentle, rare. A gesture so small, yet it spoke endlessly— Of love unspoken, and bonds that roam free. How many times did I feel that warmth thread, Tying my heart to his in a silence well-fed? Now, as I look back, I see it more clear: That love, so timeless, is always near. In memory’s hold, I still feel his embrace, Strength, comfort, devotion—his steady grace. For in those quiet nights, I found my peace: A father’s love, eternal, that will never cease.

The Last Line Forward

-
Image
Life is a rail line stretching far, Forged beneath a newborn star, Two shining paths of steel and soul Carrying us toward an unseen goal. We board with hearts both brave and worn, At dawns of loss and days reborn, Each year a train that waits in time, Whistling hope at midnight’s chime. The tracks are paved with days gone by, With words unsaid and reasons why, Old mistakes sleep in the ground, Where memory hums a restless sound. Yet still the engine pulls ahead, Fueled by dreams we’ve barely said, By faith that burns when lights are low, By love we’re still learning how to show. At year’s end, standing side by side, We reach a station, doors thrown wide- Another name, another year, A place to leave our weight and fear. We set our doubts on the platform floor, Pack new courage and ask for more, Not gold or fame or flawless days, But strength to walk life’s shifting ways. The past rolls off with fading steam, Its echoes soft, like half-known dreams, Ahead, the rails begin to thin, Where ...

Admila: What I Became

  A person loses their true self not through sudden sin, but through slowly accepting thoughts, desires, and compromises they justify as their own freedom.-(Please read my poem patiently, not just press the like button. I hope for your valuable comments. I am posting it only in a selected groups. It will be published after the group admins review it ) *********************** I lived a life the world would call complete, Composed, controlled, untouched by reckless winds. My days were shaped by duties done with care, A name respected yet not deeply known. **** I was the lamp that never flickered once, A quiet strength that never asked for more. Yet somewhere deep, a pulse I would not name Lay sealed within, like breath in still, dark water. **** One night I saw two shadows wrapped in flame- A fleeting glance, yet something held me there. Not what they did, but how they seemed to live, Unbound by rules that quietly shaped my days. **** I turned away , yet carried it with me, A thought...
