 A forest of self, in whispered sway, where strands of desire softly play. Silent symphony, alive and free, a mirror of what we yearn to be.   Crown and curtain, veil and sign, each lock a story, yours and mine. Shimmering sunlight, storm's fierce might, it grows, it falls-day and night.   From navel’s knot, a dance begins, a language of surrender, of skins. Touching senses, stirring fire, unspoken words of deep desire.   On limbs it curls, in gentle streams, holding memories, fleeting dreams. The subtle thrill, the quiet plea, a mirror of our intimacy.   Around the crown, commanding, dense, a throne of thought, of confidence. Fear, pride, longing, shame- each strand whispers our name.   Where heat ignites the ember’s glow, it pulses, alive, in vibrant flow. A symbol of our primal art- beauty, power, and the heart.   Above the lips, it bends in grace, around the neck, in tender embrace. Along the arms, a rhythmic tune, a d...

  " For mercy lives where weapons end, And peace begins when hearts unbend." He lifted steel with borrowed pride, Mistaking rage for strength inside. The sword shone bright-a tempting lie, Promising power to the battle cry. By cries of faith and fractured land, New “lions” roar at their command. Yet what they trade, unseen, unheard, Are common lives-no shields, no words. You will find places well concealed, Rooms where fear is softly sealed. But those who walk the open street Have only earth beneath their feet. There are nations forged in endless flame, Hardened long before your name. To threaten fire with raw-born iron Is foolish hope, a fragile vision. Each blow you strike, each wound you deal, The sword remembers how you feel. For violence, once it finds its way, Returns in blood-it always stays. So lay it down, the shining lie. Beware, or to the dust you’ll lie. In boiling youth, with reason gone, Your own blade writes your final song. To perish thus is not brave art, Not...

In homes of dust and spinning wheels, Where threads of courage and patience weave, A frail body bears an unbreakable soul- Half-naked, yet clothed in fearlessness.   He walks barefoot into hatred’s storm, His hands unarmed yet breaking chains, No crown, no sword-only truth’s silent flame, Holding breath in the face of empires’ reigns.   From Christ, he learns patience- To endure the weight of suffering, To hold pain without returning hate, A quiet strength that pierces silence.   From Krishna, he learns courage- To stand unmoved on the battlefield of conscience, To face the thorns with unwavering resolve, And reveal the divine in humble acts.   He never shouts the truth- He lives it, slow as forgiveness, Sharp as duty, heavy as silence. In his stillness, a voice more profound than cannon fire.   The world shatters its mirrors- Calling truth dangerous, Wonders why it bleeds. Yet truth moves lightly- Across crosses, dusty roads, and woven ...

We are threads woven through the same loom, not islands shaped by chance, each strand a whisper in the silent room, each shore leaning toward other shores. The breath we share is not our own, but a chorus in the unknown; a heartbeat’s rhythm, soft and slow, binds all stories we may never show. A single tear, a fleeting grace, reminds us of our fragile place. No fortress built of stone or pride can hold the ache we all reside. We differ as the stars differ- distance, fire, ancient light- yet all belong to one vast sky that gives them meaning in the night. Beneath the skin, beyond the face, lies a common, sacred space- a space where shadows meet the light, and darkness teaches what is right. To hold another’s pain as ours, to see the universe in scars- this is the quiet, steady art of mending what’s been torn apart. So let us walk with open palms and hearts, aware that none of us are whole, knowing that each healing starts in the simple act of being near, and that love dissolves all fear...

Beneath winter’s breath and a listening sky, I felt hope stir where silent shadows lie. In humble places, deep within my heart, A gentle light awakened a new start. No crown of gold, no trumpet’s sound- Yet love stood near, without a bound. He came to me not wrapped in pride or power, But clothed in mercy in a fragile hour. Among the broken, I saw Him stand, With kindness steady, an outstretched hand. In His quiet strength, I learned to see A truth that whispered: He walks with me. Like dawn upon my blinded sight, He turned my darkness into light. My fears fell off like broken chains, My wounded soul breathed hope again. At His word, like glass made whole, I felt Him heal my shattered soul. He fed my hunger, seen and unseen, With grace that flowed in spaces between. From little faith, abundance grew, Like fields that rise in morning dew. He calmed my storms with whispered peace, And taught my restless heart to cease. He sat with those I once ignored, And broke the walls my pride had st...

In shadows where the quiet dwells, A whisper hums, a secret spell. Are you the song my soul has sought, Or a dream the silent night forgot? Your voice, like dawn’s first tender light, Unfurls within the arms of night- A timeless tale in every tone, A fragile hope softly known. You bloom like flowers in spring’s air, A melody beyond compare, A goddess drifting through the skies, Bright presence before wondering eyes. Your laughter flows like silver streams, Through valleys deep of silent dreams, Carving paths where echoes sleep, Awakening hopes the heart would keep. When passion’s scent begins to rise, And starlight burns in lovers’ eyes, You pour your music into time- A sacred raga, pure, sublime. Like winds that carry distant sound, You come and go without a bound, A song that lingers, never gone, A heartbeat’s echo, softly drawn. Your touch, like fire in winter’s cold, Warms the soul, both young and old, A gentle flame that softly yearns, In every breath, your spirit burn...

In the quiet chamber where shadows dwell, The soul’s silent school begins its spell; Lessons carved in breath and beat, Hints of eternity in each brief heartbeat. O fragile body, school of the soul, Where life learns briefly how to breathe, All beauty borrowed from the waiting earth Returns as dust beneath the trees. The painted brow and carefully combed hair Glow like flowers at the break of dawn, Yet beauty, like mist before the sun, Fades softly as the day moves on. The head once lifted with dreams of conquest, Like a flag upon a restless hill, Lies silent now, a nameless skull- Its pride erased, its voice grown still. The king who ruled like a roaring lion, The beggar frail as a fallen leaf, Meet at last like merging rivers, No crown remains, no sign of grief. No caste endures, no wealth speaks louder, Scriptures fall silent before the flame; Death moves through all like impartial fire, Calling every life by the same name. So learn, O soul, while breath is near, While the inward la...
