The Love I Knew

I loved you once, the way you were,

So simple, kind and gentle dear.

But now you've changed, you're not the same,

And honestly, it feels not to blame.


If I had seen this new you then,

Believe me, love—I'd not begin.

My heart adored the older you,

This newer you? It won't do.


I search for traces of who you were,

But all I find is a stranger's glare.

My choice could never love this new,

I only long for the you I knew.


God's will, it seems, kept us apart,

Preserving the essence of my heart.

For you don’t deserve this purest love,

A truth that weighs like a mourning dove.


You were right; I loved in vain,

A lesson learned through bittersweet pain.

If we had wed, I'd lose my way,

Sacrificing my soul to seek your stay.


What happens, happens for the best,

This journey has put me to the test.

Hope to free from seeking your embrace,

I'll try to find strength in this empty space.

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...
