Sweet Poison: A Poem About Love, Doubt, and Letting Go

- April 24, 2026

I gave you truth like open windows, no curtains, no shadows, just light spilling everywhere. I thought love meant two hearts without locks, two souls unafraid of being completely seen. But you… you speak in half-sentences, hide pieces of yourself like secrets buried under silence. And I stand here wondering, is it love if I have to guess? is it trust if I have to doubt? They say men hide, fear, guilt, or things unnamed, but what am I supposed to do with the emptiness you leave behind? I was never afraid of truth. I was only afraid of loving someone who chooses not to give it. Now I am split in two, one half still holding your hand, the other slowly letting go, even while my heart refuses to listen. You say nothing, but your distance screams, maybe you’ve already left, just forgot to take your shadow with you. And I… I am stuck in this quiet war, between staying for love and leaving for self-respect. Tell me, is this my trap, or yours? Or just love, wearing its sweetest poison? Day...

Falling in Love with Peace – A Poem on Inner Calm

- April 21, 2026

I stopped chasing loud happiness, the kind that fades by night, and turned toward something quieter, something softer, something right. No crowded thoughts demanding space, no restless need to prove, just slower breaths, a gentler pace, and learning not to move every time the world called out my name, every time it pulled too tight, I chose to sit with stillness instead of running from the fight. Peace did not arrive like fireworks, it didn’t shout or shine, it came like a fading echo, a whisper saying, “You’re fine.” It met me in small moments, in silence I once feared, in empty rooms and quiet nights where my thoughts slowly cleared. I said goodbye to chaos, to noise I used to need, to constant validation, to invisible speed. I stopped measuring my worth by things I couldn’t keep, and found a kind of richness in simply falling asleep without a mind full of worries, without a heart on guard, just drifting into calmness without trying too hard. Peace taught me that stillness is not a s...

Today, It Didn’t Work

- April 17, 2026

I sat with intention, quiet and clear, A simple plan, just start from here. A list, a form, a message to send, A small beginning, a quiet trend. But nothing moved the way it should, Each step resisted, misunderstood. Buttons clicked but led nowhere, Links broke down in empty air. I tried again, then tried once more, Same closed window, same locked door. Not a failure loud and bold, Just something stubborn, quiet, cold. I thought it simple, set and send, A message written, a list to extend. But behind the screen, unseen, unknown, Were walls I couldn’t break alone. And somewhere between “almost done” And “why is nothing getting done,” The effort turned into a weight, A silent kind of mental state. No one sees this kind of fight, No noise, no crowd, no visible light. Just you and a screen that won’t agree, And hours lost quietly. I closed the tabs, I let it be, Not every day needs victory. Some days are meant to show you this, That effort exists, even in miss. Tomorrow may open what staye...

Borrowed Happiness: A Poem on Fleeting Joy

- April 14, 2026

A borrowed smile, stitched in haste, fits like a glove, yet leaves a trace; a silver lining on borrowed skies, bright enough to fool the eyes. Laughter dances, light as air, spilled like wine in crowded glare; all sunshine and roses on the face, while shadows linger out of place. Hand-me-down joy, worn thin and light, a candle flickering borrowed bright; it warms the hands, but not the core, a knock that never meets the door. Cup half full in passing cheer, clinking glasses, borrowed cheer; yet beneath the polished gleam, runs a crack no one has seen. A fleeting guest with gilded grace, leaves no footprints, claims no space; like castles built on shifting sand, it slips away from an open hand. Dressed to the nines in fleeting delight, dancing on edges, avoiding the night; a feather in cap, a borrowed crown, worn for a moment, then handed down. The clock ticks soft, the curtain falls, echoes fade through empty halls; the borrowed light begins to dim, a fading hymn at twilight’s rim. Wha...

A Day That Felt Like a Year

- April 10, 2026

A Day That Felt Like a Year Morning arrived, but not with light just a quiet weight I couldn’t fight. The clock moved on, as it always does, but something in me simply paused. Minutes stretched like endless roads, heavy with unspoken loads. Every second whispered slow, like it had nowhere else to go. I tried to move, I tried to feel, but time refused to turn the wheel. The sun was up, the world was loud, yet I felt lost within the crowd. Afternoon came, but nothing changed, the hours still felt wide and strange. Thoughts kept circling, back and forth, questioning their quiet worth. Evening fell with tired grace, still no peace I could embrace. The sky turned dark, the stars appeared, but inside, it was just as unclear. And when the night finally came, everything still felt the same. One single day, yet deep inside, it held a year I couldn’t hide. Because some days don’t simply pass they stay, they stretch, they quietly last. Explanation of the Poem: This poem explores how time is not a...

The Day I Stopped Explaining Myself

- April 07, 2026

There was a day not loud, not dramatic, just quietly different when I stopped explaining myself. No announcement, no final argument, no “you’ll understand someday.” Just silence… and a strange kind of peace. Sometimes we think if we explain better, people will see us clearer. If we try harder, they’ll finally understand. But I really think how much explaining is enough? And why does being understood feel like a responsibility? That day, I realized not everyone listens to understand. Some listen to reply. Some listen to judge. And some… don’t listen at all. So I stopped. Not because I had nothing to say, but because I was tired of repeating my truth to ears that weren’t ready for it. Some things are short-lived. Even explanations have expiry. They lose meaning when they’re forced again and again. I stopped explaining my choices. I stopped defending my silence. I stopped justifying my distance. If they call me rude, it’s okay. If they misunderstand me, it’s okay. Because for the first ti...

Slow Progress Still Counts: A Deep Poem on Patience and Growth

- April 03, 2026

It doesn’t roar, it doesn’t shine, it doesn’t arrive with applause or signs. It moves in silence, quiet and slow, like roots beneath that no one knows. You wake each day, you try again, no sudden change, no visible gain. The world runs fast, you barely crawl, and sometimes you feel like nothing at all. You look around, they rise, they win, while you still fight the war within. Their steps are loud, yours feel small, and doubt begins to question it all. “Is this enough?” your tired mind asks, “Or am I just avoiding the task?” But growth is not a race to prove, it’s the courage to quietly move. Like a drop of water on stubborn stone, it shapes the surface though alone. Not in a day, not in a week, but in the patience the strong ones keep. You are building what can’t be seen, discipline sharp, and a steady routine. While others chase the fastest way, you are learning how to stay. Because slow steps do something rare, they teach your soul to truly care. They build a strength that doesn’t b...

Love in Silence

- March 31, 2026

I never said your name out loud the way my heart repeats it; softly, carefully, like a secret afraid of its own echo. It lived in pauses, between breaths I never noticed, in the quiet spaces of my day where your memory chose to stay. You never heard the storms I calmed just by watching you exist, how chaos inside me would rest when your presence passed like light. There were a thousand conversations I had with you in my mind; perfect words, perfect timing, everything courage couldn’t find. But reality was quieter, a place where I stood still, where every sentence turned into silence before it reached my will. I became fluent in hiding, in speaking through absence, in turning love into something invisible so it wouldn’t demand an answer. You were in the way I noticed small things; the color you wore without trying, the laugh you never held back, the silence you never feared. And I was there too, just not in a way you could see; standing beside moments that never belonged to me. I ...

Pretending to Be Okay: The Silent Weight We Carry

- March 27, 2026

There is a certain way people ask, “Are you okay?” Not waiting long enough for the truth, just enough to hear what sounds easy to carry. And I have learned that answer well. “I’m fine.” It slips out gently, like it has been practiced for years, like it belongs more to me than anything real ever did. Because the truth is never a short sentence. It doesn’t fit into casual conversations or quick replies between busy lives. It sits heavy, somewhere behind the ribs, asking for space no one really offers. So I smile. Not a big smile, just enough to look normal. Just enough to not invite questions. Because questions mean explaining, and explaining means opening doors I barely manage to keep closed. Sometimes I feel like I am performing a version of myself, a quieter, safer version, one that laughs at the right moments and nods at the right words, while something inside stays completely still. People see the outside. They see the routine, the replies, t...

A Life That Looks Fine from the Outside

- March 24, 2026

From the outside, everything looks in place. A calm face, a steady routine, days moving exactly the way they should. Nothing loud, nothing broken, nothing that makes people stop and ask, “Are you okay?” Because from a distance, it really does look okay. You wake up on time, you do what you’re supposed to do, you reply to messages, you smile when needed, you exist in the way the world expects you to. And people notice that. They say, “You’re doing well.” They say, “You’re handling life perfectly.” And you nod, because correcting them feels harder than agreeing. But what they don’t see is how quiet everything feels inside. Not peaceful quiet, but the kind that lingers too long. The kind that fills the room when the noise fades away. They don’t see the moments when you sit alone, not doing anything, not thinking clearly, just… there. Somewhere between tired and lost, without a clear reason. You try to explain it to yourself sometimes. You tell yourself, “Nothing is wrong. Everything...

Day Of Balance (21st March: Equinox Day)

- March 20, 2026

The Day of Balance Today, the Earth forgets its tilt, not leaning toward longing, not falling into shadow. Somewhere between too much light and too much darkness, it chooses… balance. The Sun stands quietly above us, not favoring north or south, as if reminding, fairness was always simple. Morning arrives without hurry, evening leaves without regret. For once, nothing is chasing, nothing is escaping. Day and night sit together, like two old rivals finally tired of fighting. And maybe we were meant to notice this, that life isn’t always about extremes, not always about becoming more, or fearing less. Sometimes, it’s about standing still in the middle of everything, and realizing you are already enough in this exact moment. But tomorrow, the tilt will return. Light will stretch longer, darkness will wait again. And we, we will go back to choosing sides. Yet today… just for a while, the universe whispers softly: You don’t always have to. My thoughts 💬 The equinox feels less like an ...

If Time Could Speak: A Poem on Life, Pressure, and Presence

- March 20, 2026

If Time Could Speak If time could speak, it wouldn’t shout. It would sit beside you quietly and ask, “Why are you in such a hurry?” You keep running, as if something is chasing you, as if life is a race and you are already losing. But I have been here, long before your plans, long before your fears learned how to speak inside you. You blame me often. You say, “I don’t have enough time.” But I never left you you just gave yourself to things that never deserved you. If time could speak, it would laugh softly at your deadlines, your perfect schedules, your obsession with being “on time.” On time for what? For a life you haven’t even understood? You measure me in seconds, but I measure you in moments. In the pauses you ignore, in the breaths you rush, in the people you forget to feel. You think you are behind. But behind whom? Everyone is walking on a road I never made equal. If time could speak, it would not ask you to move faster. It would ask you to move honestly. Not ahead. Not b...

The Quiet Death of Relationships in the Modern World

- March 17, 2026

Something strange is happening in our time. Relationships are not breaking loudly anymore. There are no big arguments, no dramatic endings. They are simply… fading. Slowly. Silently. Like a candle that keeps burning until one day there is no flame left. This is the quiet death of relationships. Earlier generations were different. Not perfect, but different. People visited each other without invitations. Relatives stayed in each other's homes for days. Brothers argued but never stopped talking. Sisters fought but never became strangers. Relationships were messy, but they were alive. Today something has changed. We have more phones, more messages, more connections on social media. But less real connection. We know what a distant celebrity is doing but we don't know how our own brother is feeling. We send emojis instead of emotions. We reply with "ok" "nice" "take care" And somehow we believe that communication has happened. But communication is not c...

The Unspoken Words Between Strangers

- March 13, 2026

In the quiet of a crowded street, I saw you glance my way, A flicker of recognition, Or maybe just curiosity. We walked parallel paths, Steps in rhythm, never touching, Conversations hanging in the air, Yet never spoken aloud. I wanted to ask your name, Or mention the way the sunlight Caught in your hair like fire, But the words stayed inside, Heavy, unclaimed, invisible. There’s a strange comfort in silence, A warmth in knowing someone notices, Even when nothing passes between us. A shared breath, a mutual pause, Moments that vanish, Yet linger in memory. Perhaps one day our paths will cross, And the words we never said Will find a way through our lips. Or perhaps they’ll remain Tiny sparks in the corners of our minds, Silent, fleeting, perfect in their absence. We live with these small regrets, Little chances that whisper, “Say something… reach out… notice.” But we are too polite, too hesitant, Or maybe too afraid To disturb the delicate balance of strangers. Still, I car...

Silence between two friends

- March 11, 2026

There was a time when our words had no weight. They traveled easily between us, crossing borders that maps try to protect. Two countries that history keeps apart, yet somehow a simple conversation ignored all of that. Your name was Saify. And my name was Ronit. But those names never felt like labels of different sides. They felt like two voices finding a strange and unexpected friendship. Most of our world lived inside a small screen. A green icon. Late-night messages. The soft glow of WhatsApp conversations that stretched longer than we planned. We talked about everything. Small things. Daily things. Sometimes completely useless things. But also the big ones. Religion. Beliefs. Cultures. Questions that people are often afraid to ask. And yet somehow there was always respect. Not the fragile kind that breaks the moment two people disagree. But the quiet kind that listens. You were from Pakistan. I was from India. But somewhere between those messages that difference slowly s...

The Strength of Women: A Poem Honoring Women on International Women’s Day

- March 09, 2026

A woman Before the noise of cities, before the rush of ambition, there is always a quiet strength standing somewhere in the background a woman. She is the first voice a child hears in the morning of life, the first hand that teaches how to hold hope and how to rise after falling. Her presence moves gently through the rhythm of our days in homes filled with patience, in classrooms full of dreams, in hospitals, offices, fields, and every road where courage walks quietly. Across cultures and continents her story changes language, but her strength remains the same. In some lands she wears traditions stitched with centuries of history. In others she carries freedom like a bright flag in the wind. Different customs, different voices, yet the same dignity shines within. From the quiet villages of Asia to the busy streets of Europe, from deserts that hold ancient prayers to cities that touch the clouds women shape the heartbeat of humanity. A mother’s sacrifice. A sister’s encouragement. ...

March: Festivals, Renewal, and Spring Across the World

- March 05, 2026

March: A Month of Many Dawns March arrives on a shifting wind, not winter, not yet summer, but a restless traveler between worlds. In India, the mornings soften; the sharp cold fades into gentle warmth, and the earth begins to breathe again. Neem trees lift their tender shoots, new leaves glowing translucent green. Mango blossoms perfume the air, gulmohar waits in quiet anticipation, and fields of mustard ripple like sunlight caught in motion. This is the hour of turning, when calendars across cultures open to sacred pages. Far away, lanterns still sway from the joy of Chinese New Year, welcoming fortune with drums and red silk, dragons dancing through crowded streets, a new zodiac whispering hope. On March 8, voices rise together for International Women's Day, honoring strength carried through centuries, mothers, workers, dreamers, their resilience blooming like spring after a long frost. At the spring equinox, fires are lit for Nowruz, the Persian New Year, where the ...

Holi : Festival of Colors

- March 02, 2026

Holi starts with fire. The night before the colors, people gather around a bonfire. It reminds us of an old story — that pride burns, but faith survives. The fire is not just outside. It is a symbol. Burn anger. Burn ego. Burn what you don’t need anymore. Then comes the morning. Suddenly, the world changes. White clothes turn red, blue, yellow. Strangers smile at each other. Friends forget old fights. For one day, no one looks perfect — and no one cares. Children run with water balloons. Music plays loudly. Sweets are shared. Laughter fills the streets. Holi feels simple. But it carries a deeper meaning. It tells us that life is not meant to stay dull. It tells us that happiness is allowed. It tells us that after every dark night, there can be color again. In today’s world, Holi is also celebrated in many countries. Sometimes it becomes just a color party. But its heart is still the same. Let go. Forgive. Start fresh. By evening, the colors wash away. But if the lesson stay...

Red Skies Over Tehran

- February 28, 2026

the sky did not turn red by sunset, it turned red by decision. Across the distance between United States and Israel, warplanes wrote a new headline over the trembling roofs of Iran. They called it “Roaring Lion,” they called it “Operation Epic Fury,” as if fury needs a name to justify its fire. In Tehran, windows shook before dawn prayers. In Isfahan, smoke rose like unanswered questions. Missiles searched for meaning in the language of destruction. A president spoke of “major combat,” of nuclear shadows and regime change, urging people to rise but how do ordinary hands rise when they are busy shielding children from falling glass? Iran answered with drones and thunder, toward borders, toward bases, toward a horizon already heavy with grief. Sirens replaced lullabies in Israel. Flights vanished from the sky. The world refreshed its screens again and again, as if peace might load with the next update. I write this not as a strategist, not as a soldier ...

Jealousy's Poisonous Grip: Motivational Poetry on Overcoming Envy

- February 27, 2026

Jealousy is a silent fire It does not burn the world It burns the one who carries it. It begins with comparison, A small glance at someone else’s success, A promotion, a love story, a better life on display. Suddenly the heart feels smaller. Jealousy has sharp eyes. It counts other people’s blessings And ignores its own. It whispers , “Why not me?” “Why them?” It turns friendship into competition, Peace into pressure. Sometimes it hides behind ambition. Sometimes it disguises itself as motivation. But deep inside, it trembles with insecurity. It grows faster in silence. It feeds on self-doubt On late-night overthinking, On scrolling through perfect lives, Yet jealousy is also a mirror. It shows what we secretly desire. It reveals our hidden hunger, Our unfinished dreams. If controlled, it becomes fuel. If uncontrolled, it becomes poison. The same fire that can destroy Can also forge strength. So instead of envying another’s light, Build your own flame. Because jealousy...

Youth's Quiet Fire: Poetry on Dreams, Resilience, and Rising Again

- February 26, 2026

Youth is not noise, it is a quiet fire burning behind steady eyes that refuse to look down. But sometimes, it is also a storm. An adrenaline rush in the veins, a heartbeat that runs faster than logic, Low patience, high potential. Quick to react, slow to calculate sometimes weak in reasoning, yet bold enough to take the leap others only think about. It runs toward love, toward career, toward money as if all three are finish lines in the same race. Between twenty and thirty, time sharpens its edge. These years do not whisper they decide direction. They build foundations or cracks that echo later. Youth feels peer pressure like a silent competition. Family expectations like weight on the shoulders. Society paints pictures of success and luxury lavish homes, perfect health, flawless lives. And sometimes, in chasing that shine, it swipes a credit card to buy a future not yet earned and falls quietly into the ditch of loans High hormones high risks. Some decisions imp...

Time Doesn't Care | Ronit

- February 25, 2026

Time doesn’t care about your plans. It doesn’t wait because you’re confused. It just moves. I used to think I had a lot of it. Whole years. Endless tomorrows. But somehow school ended. People changed. Some friends became strangers. And I don’t even remember when that happened. That’s how time works. It doesn’t break the door. It slowly rearranges the room while you’re busy looking at your phone. We say, “I’ll start next month.” “I’ll fix things later.” “I’ll say sorry tomorrow.” But tomorrow feels brave only in imagination. In real life, it comes quietly and leaves even faster. Sometimes I look at old photos and I can’t believe that version of me thought he had forever. We all think that. We waste hours proving ourselves to people who won’t remember us. We delay dreams because we’re scared of failing. We stay silent when we should speak. And time? It keeps walking. The scary part isn’t getting old. The scary part is realizing you were alive but not really living. Time is no...

TIME

- February 23, 2026

Time does not knock before entering my life. It just sits beside me quietly, like an old friend who knows I will not notice until it leaves. I have seen it in unfinished books, in half-written thoughts, in dreams I said “tomorrow” to. Time is not fast. It only moves. And I am the one standing still, thinking I have plenty of it. Every sunrise writes a reminder on the sky nothing waits. Yet time is kind. It teaches without shouting. It heals without asking. It changes me without permission. Maybe time is not running away. Maybe it is inviting me to walk with it before another page turns without my words on it.
