Unforgettable cuts


This deepest cut, ever-deepening
An unwelcome visitor, none can stop
It gnaws, it preys
A cry, a whimper in slow, mournful cadences
Even when you yearn to forget, it won't relent
A devil's pastime, a persistent plight
The wind blows strong today, in intermittent sighs
The morning dawned cool, pleasant, and calm
But tiny mosquitoes and bees return
When the wind subsides, the pain resumes
A recurring theme, the wound deepens, never numb.

Resilience ....

In my garden, I found several broken stone pieces scattered, each bearing its unique shape and form. Among these stones, one caught my attention. I had recently come across a quotation online that resonated deeply with me: "In the end, we all become stories."

My vision was to frame this stone in a unique yet economical way. Fortunately, I found a carpenter willing to take on this unusual task. I even bundled in a few other odd jobs for him. However, when the job was completed, my excitement turned to disappointment. While fixing the stone into the

Who are my foes, Not allowing me to progress, Conniving to see my regress. All along the way, these 6 enemies thrived, Letting me feel worse and deprived. As my butterfly wings take me aloft, I feel rolling on the ground adrift. No one told me to be cautious, With these internal foes. They grew with me as my kin, They always win. In the playground of life, They have given me all the strife. The poem explores the struggle with internal enemies, symbolized by the fragile and transient nature of butterfly wings. The six internal foes - Kama, Krodha, and others - grow alongside us, much like kin, and can hinder our personal growth and development. Despite their ephemeral nature, these internal enemies can have a profound impact, stifling our potential and preventing us from becoming the best version of ourselves. The poem highlights the importance of acknowledging and overcoming these internal struggles to achieve true progress and self-realization.
