Flashback

Memories are etched in moments

The ones the mind forgets

By time & choice

And force?

Perhaps, to bury some pain

Perhaps, to refute a feeling

Perhaps, it's a part of healing 

But, heart? 

It remembers every bit

The bittersweet ache of love

The places & faces have traces

And then?

It laments the pain of bygone

It echoes the tale of betrayal

When wounds re surface

Passing through dark dungeons

Of nothingness

Why this?

Karmic patterns

A soul contract 

Carrying guilt of lifetimes 

Fear & grief alike

Scars of yesteryears

Aching in pain

What next?

Accept what is

To rise, survive & revive

Ressurect, forget?

Then, quiz?

Was it real

Or an illusion

Created from imagination 

& Longing

Closure?

Slow fading

Of a story 

That never was

An end which 

Never had a starting point

Thresholds

 

A door stands tall, a threshold to paths, 

The bougainvillea, with flowers so bright,

A symbol of life's vibrant, colorful light

The cat, a watcher, with eyes so wide,

Her presence, a reminder, to pause and reflect,

On life's journey, with its twists and inspect

The door, a choice, between what's known and unknown,

A passage to growth, or a path overgrown.

The bougainvillea, with its thorny might,

A reminder of life's challenges, and the need to fight

But even in darkness, there's beauty to see,

A chance for growth, and a new destiny.

The cat's wise eyes, a guide on our way,

Through life's ups and downs, come what may

So let us walk, through life's door with care,

And may the bougainvillea's beauty be our share.

May we find strength, in the cat's gentle might,

And navigate life's twists, with courage and light

Shield of serenity

Erecting fences 

To guard one's heart

To protect peace

To shield from toxic rain

Is to honor heart's sacred shades

The boundaries stand 

Like a gentle shore

A deliberate choice

To shut the gates

To filter out the noise

To deflect the arrows 

Of others' plight

The emotional voice

The garden within 

A sanctuary deep

Protected from darkness

Of endless night

Channelizing the water

A steady stream 

To nourish the soul

To quench it's dream

To guide the way

Through life's stormy sea

To the shores of peace

Where the soul can be free

Awakening

Collision with a forgotten part of self

Can stir the soul 

Awaken echoes from lifetimes past

Unravel karmas written before birth

And ignite a fire, you didn't know existed

Deep within, buried through spirals of lifetimes 

A blueprint of spiritual awakening 

A soul contract agreed upon 

To encounter life lessons

To experience, grow & evolve 

Universe records every line

A ledger of deeds, forever divine

Cosmic threads bind

Until we learn to fly

Yet, in this reckoning

Lies a chance

Not surrender to fate

But, create a new slate

Through forgiveness & love

We can break free

Rewrite & play a new part

With an open heart

Chains of resentment break & fall

The burden lifts

While the pain gradually drifts
