To my husband, the wind beneath my wings. You remind me to chase my dreams, even when the skies are stormy, and you stand by me with a quiet strength that fuels my every step forward. Your love makes anything feel possible, and for that, I dedicate this to you.

 ***

I inspire myself to the new paradigm

Where I feel my soul is free to fly

Wonders happen where mess created

Blown away my only treasure of cry

No matter here or there I land

Connotation of life is empty or dry

For a fact that I perceive this notion

My mind is here but I relax in that

Era

There is a certain decorum which I save

So I let my days pass and sleep in

Rhythm

Lie I like you I lie I care for you

All I need a way to escape from

A lie that u lied

Here to the million years to beat

My self is still same like nothing

Ever received

My heart find solace

In your discomfort

Where to find the words

To erase all the wrong

All the laughter which

Needs to surrender

My bad is acceptance

In gold of your world

Your worst is nothing

But a scar on grief

I can lie to live a lie

But I can’t hide if I

Want to die

My shine is lost in your demeanor

Where to get all my acceptance

I have lost all in the list of loosing

But I have gain a truth or something

Hire you to hit me where I stand

Or to find him where he lost

In this game of winning and loosing

I lost to this in the very beginning

My soul competitor is already dead

Otherwise he can never let me free

Wander around the hobbling trees

Are they tall or its dark everywhere?

Protect my spirits with beaming sun

I got burnt but it cured else where

Find my peace in grating truth I got

Let go of myself to end somewhere

Ready to set the fire to reach End

Mind is here but I’m no where

Can’t get rid of this adverse stigma

A wild start to finish anywhere

I dream of you with

Cold eyes of stone

With heart so pure

Like drop of red blood

My hands are shaking

To rewrite the story

The only black tomb

Insight is mine indeed

The deep thoughts are feeding me

I crave for a better scape

The dark dungeon is my salvation

I find a way to grove

Mind is preparing a dirty play

Hide myself or roar with fear

A road to peace is far away

In truth I find my exhilaration

Here to the more captive years

In tears I end this ride

Found a way to get my calm

Sit on time travel and get

Peace

Where this accord ends I don’t know

All I have left a second rate place to

Rest

A new tale I heard of late

I’m the one who is accountable

For fate

Relive the old days with new notions

Here I put my luck in affluent

Phase

Here I see my shadow in trauma

Hide myself in dark loathe

Can’t fight with this bad blood

Where my own ready to eat

I see myself take a new turn

With no demons find my way

A home with no revenge

A life with no remorse

Find my passage in this narrow plan

Where I see myself in dark terrain

Here nothing is hidden to dark

Everyone is ready to mark

Green has a new meaning to live

Life has a different way to give

Rays show a quirky sun

A land where no one runs

Silently I crave for my thrust

Is it me or I just lost my

Poise

Counting my careful steps

On this besiege

Path

Rain is just the promise

Of forth mucky

Tracks

Mirror my image in best way

Don’t want to be thrown

Or cast away

Where I need to protect me

The difference I hide my beam

Under the tears tree

Find myself in the real prim

The pure expression I need

To trim
