Ray Your Voice by Siddharth YadavRay your voice like the morning sun,
Breaking silence one golden run.
Let your truth rise in hues so wide,
No storm can dim what you confide.
Speak not in echoes of borrowed grace,
But in the rhythm your soul can trace.
Each word a spark, each thought a flame,
Set fire to fear, shed every shame.
Ray your voice — let it...

The old and new
Open farms where horses run
Back drop of mountains in the sky
Tears of joy are calling to cry
Released, from lessons, to have fun
Valleys filled, freedom to the brim
Driving the ledge, just to feel it
Peace wraps around me, where I sit
Tossing thoughts like a haircut trim
Some old ones, no longer welcome
Heavy weights, I choose to let go
The...

DistractionsDo I want this?
Your hands on my skin
You’re gripping my chin
With every kiss
I just want to be Nurtured
Your hands explore further
My mind resists
But my body continues
I'm not gonna miss you
I reminisce
To a time I felt scared
I wasn’t prepared
This isn’t bliss
My body feels dirty
I smile, flirty
Why do I do this?
I put myself in places
With so many...

Lessons from birds
The Robins dance across the lawn
hopping, with happiness to see
So big, round, full and happy
Celebrating from the start of dawn
Two other birds flirt in the sky
Twirling, the kind unknown from far
It's a show, each one is a star
The open sky, their stage they fly
The birds are living their lives free,
minding their own business too
Lessons float...

Dance of Death
Me moving too fast in senile decay
Death rings bell alarming continuous
dancing and prancing simultaneous
at the exit gate of my life, I must say.
My journey of life has now come to an end
Enjoyed life and completed duties
Life offered enough...

Painful humble hearts wished to greet

Pillow Talkhanging out amongst those who are like minded
new to the group naive to the lies and deceptions
groomed with gifts fun spotlight low expectations
time goes by everything great money had you blinded
you had the lovers fame reputation all felt so right
competitiveness between group members alike
tension becomes intolerable to the point of dislike

END DOMESTIC VIOLENCE
Angst of grievous hunger prevails
Seeking benefactors to grant their need
Hoping truth of compassion creed
To work well, shutting woe-filled wails.
Wrestling amidst rigorous plight
Street kids yearn for hunger to end
With heaven to open and send
Nutritious food of health delight.
Yes, there they are begging midst hope
From domestic violence-pain
Leaving home where sorrow does reign
Finding shelter where they...

Pleasant Lessons
The moon peeked between two branches above me
The wind said goodbye, everything was quiet
This is where dreams and wishes met
I could feel it inside, in the sky I could see
Closure for some things, hanging high
Creative endeavors within reach
Time always holds lessons to teach
I captured it all with relief and a sigh

Positive Space
Snow covered field blankets the land
One single tree stands proud in the space
Silence engulfs this beautiful place
making difficult things, easy to understand
The twists and turns in life straighten out
The anxiety drifts away in the air
It is easy to feel all that is fair
when positive things come about!

Oh My Sweetheart
Oh my sweetheart ! Your glance pierces my heart.
I read your heart when your eyes go glisten.
Your fake refusal, I’m not to listen.
I believe in your looks, though tongue may hurt.
You are eager to hide your acceptance.
I...

That's WrongThe scuffling duo sparred in the park
Their screams and shouts so very marked
A bag was clutched in the woman's hand
A man had grabbed it while he harangued
"Let go!" He shrilled and tugged it more
"Tis mine, not yours!" The woman swore
The strap tore his hand, he released his grip
The woman fell back in one mighty trip
Another...
