"Unrequited love"

 In Prayer's halls, where drama took flight,

Our paths converged, bathed in stage light.

Rehearsals and lines, a world we did share,

Little did I know, love was lurking there.


Your birthday arrived, a star-filled affair,

A gathering of friends, and you standing there.

Then came the chats, whispers in the night,

A deepening connection, burning ever so bright.


I tumbled and fell, into love's sweet abyss,

My heart and my soul, with a stolen kiss.

I pictured a future, forever entwined,

But a harsh awakening, soon clouded my mind.


The truth, sharp and cold, a painful decree,

My feelings, a river flowing one way, you see.

Though the "us" I envisioned, would never be real,

My love for you, still stubbornly reveals.


Today, Valentine's Day, with my wife and my own,

A family of love, a life I have known.

My heart is content, with the blessings they bring,

But a secret chamber, still tenderly sings.


For in that quiet place, untouched by the years,

Your memory lingers, amidst joys and tears.

The girl from the prayer hall, with eyes full of grace,

Remains in my heart, holding a sacred place.


So Happy Valentine's, to you, far away,

My silent devotion, I offer today.

Though paths diverged, and destiny spun,

My one-sided love, 'til my last breath, will run.

A Shining Woman: The Story of My Friend

In the soft glow of dawn, when the world’s still asleep, A hero awakens, her promises to keep. With a heart full of warmth and hands ready to bake, She prepares a feast for her family’s sake. The aroma of spices fills the air with delight, As she stirs up the magic, making everything right. With paratha and Bhajis, a colorful spread, She nourishes their bodies before they’re out of bed. Then off to the office, she dons her brave face, Handling pressures and challenges with elegant grace. I admire how dedicated you are to what you do, Each task you embraces and sees it all through. With children to guide through their school day’s demands, She juggles their schedules with meticulous hands. From homework to sports, she’s always there near, Her love and support are what they hold dear. As evening descends and the day starts to fade, She returns to her home where new duties await. With strength that inspires, she tackles each chore, Creating a haven that feels like so much more. But amidst...

Unfulfilled Promise

In the depths of my heart,  a sea of pain has grown wide, You promised to meet me again,  but that promise was denied. In the shadows of your memories,  every moment I've spent here, Without you my dear,  my heart feels like a barren land so drear. My nights without you are lost, devoid of moonlight's grace, In the hope of your return, each day unfolds a new tale of embrace. Penned by NJ Love Yourself

Hearts of Gold

In days of old, when life was simple and bright, Health and nature were the treasures in sight. Animals, farms and crops were the wealth they'd share, A family's joy was not measured by money to spare. They lived with love, and relationships so true, Their bonds were strong, their hearts full of kindness anew. No need for cash, just the warmth of a loving hand, Together they'd thrive, in a world so grand. But times have changed, and wealth has a new face, Shares, bonds and gold, the measures of a modern pace. No family ties, no love, just the value of gold, Money is king, and hearts are bought and sold. In this new world, where riches rule the day, People are judged by the wealth they display. Treated with respect if you're rich and grand, But if you're poor, you're just a forgotten hand. Oh, for the days when love was the greatest wealth, When hearts were pure, and kindness was the greatest stealth. Now gold is prized, and hearts are made of stone, In this worl...
