 Introduction

Welcome to the pages of my poetry collection,

where each verse is a gentle guide through the
moments of solitude, the rhythmic dance of life, the
comforting warmth of love, the soft whispers of
nature, and the subtle victories of personal growth.

Each verse is a brushstroke, painting a portrait of

the human experience - the joys and sorrows, the
triumphs and tribulations, the love and loss that we
all encounter on our journey through life. These
poems serve as a mirror, reflecting the countless
emotions and stories that bind us together as one.

These poems are more than just words; they're like

conversations, reflecting moments we all go
through. I hope they become friends in your own
story, offering comfort and reminding you of the
timeless beauty that connects us all.

A little reminder that, even in life's complexities,

there's a timeless beauty that ties us together.

May these verses be a source of joy, a comforting

balm for moments of solitude, and a mirror
reflecting the inherent grace of your humanity.

Welcome, and I hope you find solace and reflection

in the quiet beauty of your own humanity.
 Ⅰ
Solitude

“Solitude is not the absence of company, but the

presence of oneself”
A KALEIDOSCOPE OF THOUGHTS
 HARSH SURANA

Solitude

In the quiet of the night

I find myself alone,
The world outside is still and calm
As I sit and ponder on my own,

My thoughts drift like the stars above,

As I contemplate life's mysteries,
The weight of the world fades away
And I am left with just my memories.

Solitude can be a friend or foe

It can bring peace or pain,
But at this moment, I find solace
As I embrace the silence again.

The darkness envelopes me like a cloak

As I sink deeper into my mind
And for a moment, I am content
In the solitude I find.

For in this space, I am free

To be who I truly am,
And though the world may be chaotic,
Here, I find my inner calm.
A KALEIDOSCOPE OF THOUGHTS
 HARSH SURANA

The Stars Are Lonely

The stars above shine bright and true,

But in their light, I feel so blue.
Their twinkling beauty fills the sky
Yet I am left alone to sigh.

Each star is a world so far away,

A distant place where I cannot stay.
I wonder if they feel the same,
A sense of longing, a burning flame.

For though they shine with all their might,

They too are lost in endless nights.
A sea of darkness, vast and deep,
Where even stars cannot escape or leap.

So here I stand, beneath their glow,

A lonely soul, with nowhere to go.
But in their light, I find some peace
A comfort that my heart can seize.

For though I may be small and frail

I am a part of this grand tale
A story told by stars above
Of hope, of love, of endless love.
A KALEIDOSCOPE OF THOUGHTS

Escape

Sometimes we need to escape from reality,

To find a place where we can truly be free,
A world where our troubles can disappear,
And our minds can rest without fear.

Perhaps we will travel to a distant land,

Where the sun shines bright on the sand,
Or maybe we will venture into a world of
dreams,
Where anything is possible, or so it seems.

We might lose ourselves in a good book,

Or create art that no one else can overlook,
We might listen to music that soothes our soul,
And let our worries dissolve and roll.

When we escape from reality, we find,

A place where peace will bind,
A space where we can simply exist,
And forget about all that we have missed.

So, when life becomes overwhelming and

tough,
And we need a break that is more than
enough,
Let us find that place where we can be,
Free from the chains of reality.

Starry Night

High on a rooftop, in the dead of the night,

A man sat gazing up at the starry sight.
The sky was clear, the air was still,
And everything around him seemed to stand so
chill.

He counted each twinkling light, one by one,

Lost in thought, in life's great run.
The mysteries of the universe echoed in his
mind,
As he pondered life's great curse, and what he
might find.

The stars above, they seemed to know,

The answers to life's eternal flow,
But for him, it was a constant show,
A journey that was never quite slow.

He wondered what it all meant, this thing called

life,
And why we all must endure the constant strife.
Was there a purpose to it all, a grand design?
Or were we simply lost in a world so divine?

He thought of love, and all its complexities,

Of heartbreak and pain, and how it never
leaves.
He thought of joy, and all its fleeting moments,
 A KALEIDOSCOPE OF THOUGHTS

Of how it comes and goes, like the tides of

oceans.

He thought of time, and how it slips away,

Of how we're all just passing through, day by
day.
He thought of death, and how it loomed so
near,
Of how it came for everyone, without any fear.

But as he sat there, lost in thought,

A sense of peace within him was caught.
For though life was full of mysteries and
unknowns,
It was also full of beauty, love and home.

And as he gazed up at the starry sky,

He knew that life was worth a try.
For even in the darkest of nights,
There was always a glimmer of light.

So, he sat there, on the rooftop alone,

Lost in thought, but never quite gone.
For the stars above, they still shone on,
Guiding him to where he belonged.

Melancholy

Melancholy, the colour of gray,

A feeling that can darken the brightest day.
It is a heavyweight that drags us down,
A sadness that can make us feel like we will
drown.

It is like a shadow in our thoughts,

Always there, a feeling that never stops.
It is the sadness we feel, the tears we cry,
Wanting something we cannot quite satisfy.

Life’s a mix of both happy and sad,

A reminder that it is not always sunshine and
rain.
It is touched with beauty at tough times,
A chance to grow, to find the silver lines.

Feel the sadness, let it be,

Life’s real that way, it is what we see.
And know that even in the darkest of days,
The sun will rise again, and light up the way.

Quiet Moments

I’m wrapped in a blanket, safe and sound,

Sipping hot tea, its aroma all around.
Comfort and warmth, a soothing embrace

The gentle pitter-patter of rain,

Against the window creates a calming
backdrop,
Lulling me into a state of calmness.
As I turn the pages of my book,
I am transported to another world,
The characters come to life,
Their struggles and triumphs becoming my
own.

The sound of rain outside seems to fade

Into the background as I become lost in the
narrative,
Finding escape from the stresses of everyday
life.

In this moment of solitude,

I am able to recharge and rejuvenate.
The quiet and stillness provide a much-needed
respite
From the constant noise and busyness of the
outside world.
 A KALEIDOSCOPE OF THOUGHTS

It's a time for reflection,

A chance to reconnect with myself and find
inner peace.
As the rain continues to fall,
I am reminded of the beauty in simplicity.

There is something inherently comforting

About being nestled in my own little cocoon,
Away from the chaos and demands of the
world.
It's a reminder to slow down,
To appreciate the small moments,
And to find joy in the little things.

I always savour this moment,

Allowing myself to be fully present and grateful
For the simple pleasures that bring me so
much happiness.

And as the rain outside begins to slow down,

I carry this sense of peace with me,
Knowing that I can always find solace
In the quiet moments spent in my house.

Rock in the sea

I am a rock in the sea

A solitary figure in the vastness of the sea.
The waves crash around me
But I remain fixed and proud.

The wind blows against me,

Trying to tumble me over
But my feet remain firmly planted
I do not yield to the pressure.

The sun and the moon shine on me,

And the stars light up my sky.
But still I stand alone
In my time of solitude.

The creatures of the sea

Swim around me in the night
But I do not move,
I remain still and silent.

The sea is my home

And solitude my companion.
I find peace and solace,
In my moments of stillness.

For I am a rock in the sea

Fixed and proud in my solitude.

Longing
“Longing is the eternal echo of what we once had,
what we dream of, and what we hope to find.”
A KALEIDOSCOPE OF THOUGHTS
 HARSH SURANA

Memories

Memories,
Whenever I think of you
My heart starts to ache
A longing I can’t ignore
A longing that I can’t escape.

Memories,
I recall the laughter we shared
The joy and the bliss
The smiles that lit up our faces
The moments I’ll always miss.

Memories,
The days we spent together
The stories that we told
The secrets that we kept
The memories that we hold.

Memories,
The conversations that we had
The dreams that we dreamed
The adventures that we went on
The times that we beamed.
 A KALEIDOSCOPE OF THOUGHTS

Memories,
The moments that we shared
The moments that we cried
The moments that we laughed
The moments that we tried.

Memories,
Whenever I think of you
My heart starts to ache
A longing I can’t ignore
A longing that I can’t escape.
 HARSH SURANA

Forgotten Love

Forgotten love, a memory so dear,

The love that once was is no more here.
The love, now lost from view,
Leaving behind an ache that only grew.

The moments we shared, now distant and

blurred,
Laughter and joy, now only a faint murmur,
The promises we made, now broken, and gone
It leaves us with nothing but a sense of wrong.

The love we had is just a memory now,

A reminder of what could have been.
A lesson in how love can be fleeting,
And how easily it can all end.

But though our love may be forgotten

Its essence still stays, deep in our souls,
Because true love never really dies
It lives on, forever whole.
A KALEIDOSCOPE OF THOUGHTS
 HARSH SURANA

Sorrow’s Song

The world was once a brighter place,

But now it is lost in dark disgrace,
The sun has set, the light has gone,
And all that is left is sorrow's song.

The tears we shed, fall like rain,

A never-ending sea of pain,
Our hearts are heavy, burdened deep,
With wounds that cut and scars that weep.
We long for hope, for love, for peace,
But all around us, there is no release,

Oh, how we ache, how we mourn,

For all that is lost, for all that is torn,
We search for answers, but find none,
And wonder if this pain is done.

Yet still we carry on each day,

And try to find another way,
To heal our hearts, to ease our pain,
And find the sun once again.
A KALEIDOSCOPE OF THOUGHTS
 HARSH SURANA

Heartache

Heartache, a pain that cuts so deep,

A wound that is hard to heal or keep,
A feeling that consumes our soul,
And leaves us feeling far from whole.

The ache of love that is lost its way,

Words we wish we could unsay,
Broken dreams are so hard to bear,
And loneliness leaves us feeling bare.

We try to mend our broken heart,

But sometimes it feels like we are torn apart,
We search for solace in the night,
And pray for strength to see the light.

Heartache, a journey we must take,

To find the love that will not break,
To learn to trust and love again,
And find the joy that comes with pain.
A KALEIDOSCOPE OF THOUGHTS

My Life, My Lover, My Lady is the

Sea

On the vast ocean, under the blue sky,

My heart wanders as my ship sails by.
Through storms and calm, with clouds so high,
I met a girl beneath a different sky.

Her hair, shone gold in the light,

Eyes of sapphire, shining so bright.
Her laughter, a melody so sweet,
As if the sea itself dances beneath her feet.

An island appears, where my ship finds its rest,

And there I met this girl, who wore a summer
dress.
She served me whiskey in a glass, her touch
so tender,
And in that moment, my heart longs to be free.

I dream of sailing the world, with her by my

side,
Sailing through the nights, the moon as our
guide.
But whispers through the island reveal a truth
untold,
That in her heart another dwells, a lover brave
and bold.
 A KALEIDOSCOPE OF THOUGHTS

Oh, fate so cruel to bring me here,

To feel her touch then disappear.
For in her eyes, I see the love she cannot hide,
But vows and promises keep her tied.

My heart was broken, I was in pain,

From the island, I had to sail again.
But still, I cherish memories of her, her laughter
in the wind,
For even though we cannot be, she'll forever
dwell within.

In every wave that crashes upon the shore,

In every star that guides me home when
darkness starts to pour,
I carry her within my soul, a love that's meant
to be,
Though she'll never be mine, she'll forever sail
the seas.

The Vampire’s Lament

As the moon casts its glow on Romania's night,

I saw her, a vision that brought me delight.
Her eyes, like stars, captivated my soul,
And within, a hunger awakened, beyond my
control.

Her presence filled the dim-lit streets,

Filling my heart with longing, an ache that
repeats.
Her beauty, a force I could not ignore,
A deep desire that I wanted so much more.

But I am Dracula, cursed with a thirst for red,

Drawn to the life force, with only worry ahead.
Her body, a vessel I wanted to possess,
To taste her blood, my heart in distress.

I knew the darkness within me,

Feeding on blood, a longing I could not set
free.
I watched her from afar, hid what I felt,
Kept my hunger hidden, my love unfelt.

Unseen, I watched her from afar,

In shadows, finding comfort under the stars.
A creature of the endless night I remain,
Longing for her, always in vain.
 A KALEIDOSCOPE OF THOUGHTS

Seasons pass, but my longing stays strong.

My love for her, hidden, chained for so long.
Within my castle's walls, the sorrow I bear,
Longing for her touch, so unfair.

In silence, I accept my fate’s way,

Longing for a love, wishing for it to stay.
Centuries passed by, the world changed,
Yet I remain the doomed Count, longing for her
embrace.

This is my lament, a heartfelt confession,

A simple tale of a vampire's immense
obsession.
Trapped in immortal existence, forever
incomplete,
Longing for a love he can never truly meet.

A Love that blooms alone

I remember the days of being so in love

The days of thinking the two of us could be
enough.
We would talk and laugh, and I would give all
of my trust
I would look into her eyes and feel nothing but
lust.

I thought she felt the same, but I was wrong,

She did not show it, but her love was already
gone
She would say, 'I love you,' but never meant it,
I guess she was just stringing me along, and I
was too naive to accept it.

I thought I could make her feel the same way,

But her walls were up and I was too far away
She left me with a broken heart and an empty
space,
I felt like I would never find love again, not in
this place.

I was stuck in a one-sided love,

That I could never have enough of.
I would pretend like nothing was wrong
But in my heart, I knew I did not belong.
 A KALEIDOSCOPE OF THOUGHTS

I thought I would find my way out eventually

But I was stuck in this one-sided love
indefinitely.
I tried to move on but she was still on my mind
I would think of her and the love that I could
never find.

I would be reminded of her every single day,

And all the things that I wanted to say.
I could never express my feelings the way I
wanted to,
And I knew it was too late for me to make her
love me, too.

So, I let go of the one-sided love I had.

And with it came an emotional flood that was
so bad.
I grieved for what could have been, and all my
dreams,
But I knew I needed to move on and find
something better than this one-sided love it
seems.

Life
“Life is a canvas and we are the artists, painting our
stories with colours of passion, perseverance and
purpose”
A KALEIDOSCOPE OF THOUGHTS
 HARSH SURANA

Life

Life is like a winding road,

With many turns and twists.
Sometimes we take a wrong turn,
Which often leads to rifts.

We can take the scenic route,

And get lost in the view.
But in the end, life will go on,
No matter what we do.

Life is like a river,

Flowing ever on.
No matter where its course,
It will never be gone.

Life is like a mountain,

With steep climbs and deep chasms.
We strive for the summit,
To find our inner balance.

Life is full of ups and downs,

Full of joy and sorrow.
But if we stay the course,
A brighter future will follow.
A KALEIDOSCOPE OF THOUGHTS
 HARSH SURANA

Ephemeral

Like a rose that blooms for a day,

Or a rainbow that fades away,
Life is fleeting, like a passing breeze,
A momentary spark, in the grand scheme of
things.

We chase after things, that are here and now,

But they slip away, like sand through our hand.
We long for permanence, something to hold,
But everything we know eventually grows old.

The beauty of life lies in its transience,

It is temporary, which makes it so intense.
For every moment, is a precious gem,
To be savoured and cherished, before it ends.

So let's live fully, in the present moment,

Embrace the ephemeral, with joyful intent.
For life is a gift, that we must appreciate,
Before it slips away, into the hands of fate

The Little Things in Life

The little things in life, they mean so much,

A simple smile, a gentle touch.
A kind word, a warm embrace,
These moments bring us peace.

A walk in nature, a starry night.

A fresh cup of coffee, a moment of delight
The smell of fresh rain, the warmth of the sun.
The simple beauty of life that can't be undone.

A hug from a loved one, a moment of joy,

A childhood memory, laughter and a toy.
A favourite song that takes you away,
These moments that make our souls sway.

A good book, a cozy blanket

A hot cup of tea, a moment to relax
A hand-written letter, a special surprise,
These memories that will forever be alive.

The little things in life, they mean so much

The moments that bring us peace and joy, we
must clutch
The small moments of life that we cherish and
share
These are the memories that we will always
hold dear.
A KALEIDOSCOPE OF THOUGHTS

Letting Go

I think of life and all its glory,

A precious gift that was given to me.
And I think of the choices I have made,
The ones I regret, and the ones I can't shake.

I try to move forward, but I'm stuck in the past,

A deep sense of guilt that won't go away.
The burden of my choices is too much to bear,
I feel like I'm drowning in despair.

But I remember this, no matter what I've done:

No amount of guilt can change the past.
And no amount of anxiety can change the
future,
So I must learn to accept what I cannot alter.

I will strive to be kinder and wiser,

To keep the past in the past, and move on from
here.
For no amount of guilt can change the past,
And no amount of anxiety can change the
future.

So I will look ahead, instead of dwelling on the

past,
I will seize each day, and make each moment
last.
I will forgive myself, and make the future bright,
 A KALEIDOSCOPE OF THOUGHTS

And remember this, no matter what you face in

life:
No amount of guilt can change the past,
And no amount of anxiety can change the
future.

What’s Worth Suffering For?

What’s worth suffering for?

A question that haunts us all.
Is it love, is it hope, is it dreams
Or something else that makes us feel whole?

Is it worth the tears and the heartache?

The sleepless nights and the pain?
Is it worth the risk of losing everything
Or the chance of never seeing the light again?

Some say it's the journey, not the destination,

That the struggle is what makes us strong.
But when the road is long and the end ds is far
It's hard to keep on pushing along.

Yet still, we keep on fighting

For the thing that matter most
For the love that fills our heart
And the dreams that we hold close.

So what's worth suffering for?

It's different for everyone, you see
But whatever it is that makes you feel alive
Is what's worth the pain and agony.
 A KALEIDOSCOPE OF THOUGHTS

It’s the hope of a better tomorrow

And the love that we share today.
It's the dreams that keep us going,
And the memories that never fade away.

It's the beauty of life that surrounds us.

And the wonder of the world we see.
It's the passion that drives us forward
And the courage to be who we want to be.

So what's worth suffering for?

It's the things that make us feel alive
The things that fill our hearts with joy
And the things that make us strife.

The Universe Conspires, Eternally

The Universe conspires, eternally,

To bring love and manifest our dreams,
It takes us on an unknown journey,
Where the path is never what it seems.

It shows us the power of believing,

In the strength of our hopes and prayers,
We must keep faith and be resilient,
As we strive to reach our aspirations.

Our hopes and wishes will come true,

No matter what may come our way.
We must have faith and always stay true
To our dreams and desires each day.

The universe will answer our call,

It will give us the chance to succeed.
We must be brave and take the fall
So that our goals we can heed.

The Universe conspires, eternally,

To bring us our dreams and desires,
Let love be our guiding force,
And never give in to our fears.

The Magic Within

There is magic in everything,

Within ourselves, and beyond.
It's a power we can find in life,
In the joys and sorrows that come along.

The magic within us is a special kind,

It helps us to keep going and never give in.
It helps us to stay strong and never give up,
And it gives us the courage to try and win.

The magic within us is something divine,

It helps us to see beauty in all life.
It brings us hope when we feel down,
And comforts us during our strife.

The magic within us is a gift,

That we must nurture and care for.
It can help us to find our way,
When our path seems a bit unsure.

The magic within us is unique,

It's the spark that makes us shine.
We can use it to reach our goals,
And make our dreams come alive.

So let us use the magic within us,

To make our lives brighter and fuller.
Let us use it to help others,
And make our world a better place for all.

Fleeting Moments

I sit here on this bench,

Amongst the trees and the birds,
Watching the sun slowly fall,
As dusk descends upon the world.

The city is so alive, and yet I feel so still,

Seeing the lights and the people,
So small against the sky.

The cars and people whiz by,

The buses and buses go,
The noise of the city pierces the air,
But I'm so far away, I don't know.

I think of all that I have done,

The moments I have shared,
The things I have seen,
The people I have cared.

Their faces come to me,

The laughter and the tears,
The love that we have shared,
In all these passing years.

My heart is full of gratitude,

For all that I have been so blessed,
For all the people in my life,
For their love and kindness, I'm so very
blessed.
 A KALEIDOSCOPE OF THOUGHTS

The passing of time,

It is so real to me,
The fleeting moments of life,
So quickly they pass by.

I can't help but to wonder,

What will life bring to me?
Will I be able to seize the day,
Or will I be too late to see?

A gentle breeze blows by, and I feel it on my

face,
Reminding me of life's fragility, I am in its
embrace.

The city is a reminder of what we all must do,

Live life to the fullest,
And make the most of every moment too.

Love

“Love is the sunlight that awakens the most

beautiful blossoms in the garden of the heart.”
A KALEIDOSCOPE OF THOUGHTS
 HARSH SURANA

What is Love?

What is love? A question often asked

A mystery that's often masked,
It's a feeling that fills our hearts,
And sets our souls and spirits apart.

It's something that can last forever,

A union of two souls,
It's something that can tie us together
And make us whole.

Love is an understanding,
A shared connection of two,
That can lift us up or bring us down
And make us feel brand new.

It's something that can touch our hearts

In ways we can't explain,
It's a deep emotion that can start
When we least expect it to remain.

Love can be a challenge,

A test of our commitment and trust,
But when it is true, it will remain
A bond that can never rust.

So what is love? It's hard to define,

For it's a feeling that's truly divine,
But one thing's for sure, it's pure and true,
And it lives in me and it lives in you.

Falling in Love

Falling in love,
It's like a heavy rain,
Filling up your spirit,
Bringing joy and pain.

The heart starts to race,

Your thoughts spin around,
Your body tingles,
Your feet don't touch the ground.

The feelings start to build,

You can no longer hide,
The world starts to feel brighter,
You no longer feel denied.

Love brings hope and light,

A feeling of completeness,
Your heart starts to soar,
Your worries start to lessen.

Love is a journey,
It is a blessing and a curse,
It can be a beautiful experience,
Or it can feel like a hearse.

You can never quite know,

What will come your way,
But if it's true love,
It'll stay forever and a day.
 A KALEIDOSCOPE OF THOUGHTS

Falling in love,
It's like a journey with no map,
But despite the risks,
It's something you can't help but tap.

Simple Acts of Love

Simple acts of love,

From the smallest of things,
Can be so powerful,
And bring joy they bring.

It is not the grand gestures,

That make love true.
But the little things,
That we often do.

A gentle hug,
A warm embrace,
A kiss on the cheek,
A gentle caress.

A surprised bouquet,
A surprise breakfast,
A heartfelt letter,
Small, but so honest.

A simple “I love you”,

A gentle touch,
A whisper in the ear,
A simple “I miss you” so much.

A warm smile,
A kind word,
A gentle squeeze,
A gentle nod.
 A KALEIDOSCOPE OF THOUGHTS

A shoulder to cry on,

A hand to hold,
A moment in time,
A hug so bold.

It's in these simple acts,

That love truly grows,
In the smallest moments,
Our true love shows.

It's in the way we make each other laugh,

And wipe away each other's tears,
It's in the way we support and encourage,
Through all the ups and downs of the years.

It's in the little things,

That we do every day,
That keep our love alive,
In every single way.

For love is not just words,

But actions too,
And it's the simple acts of love,
That make our bond so true.

We should not forget,

In this bust life that we lead,
To show our love,
In the simplest of deeds.

Sands of Love

I am travelling through the desert,

The sand beneath my feet,
The sun beating down on me.
My heart heavy with thoughts of love.

I miss my wife in the oasis,

Her gentle embrace and her sweet kiss.
She is the one I'm longing for,
My heart aching as I travel more.

The wind whips through the barren land,

Gently caressing my skin.
The sand dunes stretch ever so high,
Tempting me to reach the sky.

I keep going, ever onward,

My heart aching for her touch.
The cacti stand tall and proud,
Reminding me of her beauty and grace.

I see the oasis in the distance,

My heart fills with joy and I smile.
My wife awaits me, my love,
Ready to welcome me home.

I am travelling through the desert,

But soon I will be with her again.
My love for her will never wane,
And I am one step closer to the oasis.

Magic

If there's any magic in the world,

It must be an attempt of understanding a
person.
A special kind of alchemy,
Where two hearts can come together, and
Understand each other in their own unique
way.

The tenderness of a touch,

The warmth of a smile,
The joy of a shared moment,
All contribute to the magical understanding of a
person.

The magic lies in the connection,

The unspoken language of the soul,
That speaks to us in moments of quiet
stillness,
Telling us to open our hearts and minds.

It is the power of understanding,

The power of empathy and compassion,
The power of loving another person,
No matter their differences.
 A KALEIDOSCOPE OF THOUGHTS

It is a magical journey of self-discovery,

As we learn to accept and forgive,
And to recognize the beauty in each other,
Until we are all united as one.

If there's any magic in the world,

It must be an attempt of understanding a
person.
And if we can open our hearts to each other,
We can create a world of peace and love.

The Purest Form of Love

The purest form of love I think
Is having someone who wants to learn
About you, from you, and with you
To dig into your depths and feel
The things that make you strong and whole

The kind of love that's filled with trust

Where communication is a must
A connection that's built up over time
Where you don't feel you need to hide

A love that's patient and kind

That has no need to be confined
A love that's based upon respect
And understanding of what comes next

The purest form of love I think

Is someone who's willing to explore
Your thoughts and feelings without fear
Never letting go, but always being near

A love that never fades, never dies

A love that reaches for the sky
A love that has no expectations
But just a mutual understanding
 A KALEIDOSCOPE OF THOUGHTS

The purest form of love I think

Is having someone who wants to learn
About you, from you, and with you
To appreciate the beauty of who you are

Everyday With You

My love for her has been growing ever since I

was a boy,
She was my true love and my greatest joy.
We started out as young teens,
Our love was so pure and so serene.

It’s been through the years, through good and

bad,
That my love for her has never been had.
We’ve laughed, we’ve cried, we’ve held each
other tight,
And I know that she’ll be with me through the
night.

And now that we’re old, I’m more in love with

her than ever before,
For she’s the one I will love and adore.
Her beauty is still the same,
She’s the one who knows me by name.

She still makes me feel like a young man,

As if I can still do all that I can.
She’s the one I can trust,
And I know that she will never rust.

Her love is deep and strong,

It’s been with us for so long.
No matter what life throws at us,
I know that she will never fuss.
 A KALEIDOSCOPE OF THOUGHTS

To me, she’s the most beautiful of all,

And I’ll love her until the very last call..

The Last Letter

My dearest love, in the midst of war,

I write to you from a distant shore.
With every breath, I think of you,
And the love we shared, so pure and true.

In the quiet moments, I close my eyes,

And see your smile, like a clear blue sky,
Your laughter, like music to my ears,
Bringing me joy, calming my fears.

I miss the way you'd hold my hand,

And walk with me along the golden sand.
The way you'd look into my eyes,
And make me feel like I could touch the skies.

I loved the way you'd dance with me

Underneath the stars, so wild and free.
The way you'd whisper in my ear
Promising me that you'd always be near.

As I fight this battle, I carry your love

Like a shield, protecting me from above.
I may not survive, but know this is true:
My heart belongs to only you.
 A KALEIDOSCOPE OF THOUGHTS

So, hold onto our memories, my dear wife,

And know that you were the best part of my
life.
I'll love you always, until the end of time.
Forever yours, in this heart of mine.

And if I don't make it back to your side,

Please know that I fought with all my might.
But even if I fall in this brutal war,
Know that I'll be watching over you from afar.

Your hair is messy, and I Love You

In your car after the party,

It is quiet and sweet,
You kiss me,
And my heart skips a beat.
The light from the dashboard, our only guide,
As we drive through the rain, side by side.

We sing along to our favourite song,

Red lights pause,
The moments keep lingering long.
Your hair, a beautiful mess,
What a sight to behold,
In these moments, my love for you grows.

I cherish these simple moments, it’s true

In the quiet of the night, just me and you.
As we drive through the streets through the
night,
I look at you, what a beautiful sight.

In these moments, the world feels right,

In your car, under the star’s twinkling light.
We drive through the softly lit streets,
I look at you and my heart skips a beat.
Your hair is messy,
And I love you.

Petals and Thorns

I hope you find someone

Who can appreciate your thorns
As much as they admire your petals.

Someone who will hold you close

When all you feel is sorrow.
Someone who will give you hope
When you feel lost and hollow.

Someone who will love you whole,

Including your flaws and mistakes.
Someone who will never let go,
No matter how much it takes.

Someone who can understand

Your feelings and your fears.
Someone who can reach out a hand,
And wipe away your tears.

Someone who can accept you

For who you truly are.
Someone who will never leave you
No matter how far.

To adore your thorns as much as your petals
And to love you without judgement
Through it all, no matter what the hurdles.

City lights

I stand beneath the city lights,

Though they may glow so bright,
None of them ever compare
To the beauty of your light.

Your eyes, so deep and kind,

Glow brighter than any star,
Your light draws me in,
Your love, my only truth so far.

Your light is like no other,

It shines so gentle and pure,
It warms me from within,
Makes me want to endure.

Your light guides me through life,

Your love gives me the strength to carry on,
Your light will never fade,
It will remain strong, ever so strong.

Your light is my guiding star,

My beacon in the night,
No matter where I go,
Your light will always be my light.

But they will never be as bright as you,

I will try to fix you,

To make you whole again.

And mend the broken pieces.

I will be your shoulder to cry on,

Your anchor when you feel you're adrift.
I will be your guiding light,
The one that shows you the way.

I will be your strength when you feel weak,

Your voice when you feel voiceless.
I will be your courage when you're scared,
Your hope when you feel hopeless.

I will be your rock when life is hard,

Your comfort when you're feeling down.
I will be your faithful companion,
Your companion when you feel alone.

I will be your safe harbour,

Your protector when you need guidance.
I will be the one to pick you up,
The one to help you stand your ground.

Oh, Beautiful Sunset!

Oh, Beautiful Sunset!

You inspire me to write
How I love the way you look, run and hide,

You're the most precious gold to be on Earth.

You're an opportunity to reset for what it's
worth.
Whenever we see you set,
It calms our mind
Such a beautiful scenery we can never find.

Golden hues stretch across the sky,

As the sun bids the day goodbye.
The clouds become a canvas of art
As the world prepares to depart.

You are proof

That endings can be beautiful too
Whenever we see you set
No candle can replace you.

The warmth of the day slowly fades,

As the sun sinks behind the shades.
The birds chirp their final song,
As the night begins to belong.
 A KALEIDOSCOPE OF THOUGHTS

You teach us to keep on rising,

No matter how many times we fall
To clear our mind and watch the sky
Is what you've taught us all.

And then the sky turns into a fiery red,

As the sun sets and goes to bed.
The beauty of nature is on display
As the world slowly slips away.

The sunset is a magical sight,

A moment of peace and delight.
A reminder that every day ends
But a new one always begins.

The Melancholy Sea

The sea is still, the waves are muted

A gentle rocking, a soft lullaby.
The shore is quiet, the birds have gone,
No rush, no fuss, just peace and calm.

The sand is warm, the sky is blue

The sun is setting, a glorious hue.
The horizon line is a distant blur,
Gazing out, my thoughts concur.

A moment of realization, a time of

contemplation,
A quiet reflection on life and its meaning.
The sea is inviting, the time is slipping,
A chance to ponder, a chance to think.

The sea is still, its beauty revealed

A moment of clarity, my world congealed
A time of stillness, a time of peace,
A chance to be, just me and the sea.

Raindrop

I am a raindrop, falling from the sky,

As I fall, I see the world pass me by,
I see the colours of life, so bright and alive,
I see the sorrows, the worries and the strife.

I bring with me a cool, calming breeze,

Filling the world with a sense of ease,
I make the flowers bright and new,
I make the grass shine a dewy hue.

I bring the feeling of joy to any soul,

Making people forget the pain and the toll,
I bring laughter and fun to those who are sad,
I bring a spark of life to the world so bad.

I make people smile and play in the rain,

I make them feel like nothing can cause them
pain,
I bring a moment of peace and serenity,
A moment of blissful happiness and glee.

I make people forget their worries and fears,

I make them forget about tears and tears,
I bring about a change in their lives,
A change that will stay for a thousand times.

I am the raindrop, I am the drops of the sky,

I bring joy to those who are feeling low and
high,

Spirits

In trees, in rivers, in insects, in wells

It was believed that spirits existed everywhere
In all the creatures, and in the air
We should take care and treasure all we share

In the smallest things, the bumblebee

In the tallest of trees, the redwood tree
In the rushing of rivers, and the still of a pond
In the grass that rustles in the wind, a bond

In the birds that sing, and the fish that swim

In the gentle breeze, a whisper of hymn
In the flowers that bloom, and the clouds that
roll
In every living thing, a spirit's soul

Let us take care, of all that we see

Respect the creatures, and the air that we
breathe
Let us remember, that spirits are here
In anything, everywhere, they appear

So treasure the creatures, and all that we find

For they are here, and they are alive
With respect, and awe, let us be kind
For the spirit of life, is all around.

Thunder

The air is still and heavy,

As clouds rolling in from far away
Gather overhead, predicting a storm.

The sky turns a deep, ominous grey,

A darkness that signals the coming of rain.
The lightning pierces the sky,
And the thunder rolls in a deep, powerful
sound.

The rain begins to fall,

Fast and furious like a waterfall.
The droplets drum on the earth,
Creating a symphony of sound and fury.

The power of nature is on full display,

As the rain washes away the dirt and dust,
Refreshing the world with its cleansing power.

The storm rages on,

Flooding the streets and shaking the ground.
But when the storm fades,
The beauty of nature is restored.

The sky is blue again,

The sun is shining,
And the world is refreshed and alive.

Shooting Star

By the calm lake in the quiet of the night,

A person stands, stars shining bright.
The mountains stand tall, the air so pure,
Nature’s beauty surrounds him, a feeling so
sure.

A family of ducks passed him by,

Their wings spread, such a pretty sight.
Then a shooting star passes by, brief and
bright,
A moment of magic in the quiet night.

With a heart full of hope and shining eyes,

The person makes a wish upon the stars in the
sky.
For peace and joy, and love and light,
For nature’s beauty to always ignite.

A wish was made as the star was shooting by,

It carried on the breeze beneath the night sky.
A simple moment of beauty, inspiring a soul,
By nature’s wonders that never grows old.

Gently gliding here and there,

A reminder of nature's beauty,

A sign of hope and rebirth,
A reminder of our world so free,
To show us what true joy is worth.

They remind us to be gentle,

To take a moment and just breathe,
So take a moment and appreciate,
The beauty of the butterfly,
Your beauty is captivating, your spirit is free

On the Mountaintop

Upon the mountain's top, I stand,

Gazing at nature’s wondrous land.
Valleys lush in green and gold,
Rivers flowing brave and bold.

Majestic peaks rise to the sky,

Snow-capped mountains that catch the eye.
Sunlight paints the world aglow,
In this nature’s grand, peaceful show.

Twilight comes, stars twinkle bright,

Nature's secrets are told in light.
The moon ascends, calm and clear,
Amidst this view, all worries disappear.

In this mountaintop embrace, time stands still,

Nature's magical hands weave a thrill.
In this haven, nature's beauty is seen,
Atop the mountaintop serene.

Growth

 HARSH SURANA

Grow

Growth is a thing that is often seen,

It’s a sign of progress, a sign that we’re keen,
To become better and progress with time,
To reach great heights and never decline.

It is a mysterious thing
It comes with no warning or ringing.
It takes us from small to tall
From weak to strong, from short to long.
It starts with the tiny seed,
That soon grows to a grand tree

Growth can be physical, it can be mental,

It can be emotional, or even spiritual,
It can be seen in a business or profession,
It can be seen in a person’s expression.

Growth can be hard, it can be slow,

But if you push through, you’ll surely know,
That with effort and care, you can reach the
peak,
And be proud of the growth that you seek.

Growth can be painful, it can be tough,

But it’s worth it when you’ve had enough,
Of staying in the same place and being stuck,
Growth is the way to get up and get luck.
 A KALEIDOSCOPE OF THOUGHTS

Growth can be seen in a child’s laughter,

A smile that’s brighter than ever after,
It can come in the form of a new experience,
Something that gives you a newfound
confidence.

Growth can be seen in a relationship,

It can be seen in a business partnership,
It can be seen in a career,
Where you’re reaching for the stars and
nothing’s too much to bear.

It takes hard work and dedication

But the rewards are worth it
It means pushing ourselves to the brink
And learning to think.

Growth is a sign that we’re living life right,

It’s something that should bring us delight,
And as we seek to grow every day,
We’ll find that our lives will be better in every
way.

The Darkness in Everyone

The darkness in everyone,

A shadow that we all possess,
A part of us that we try to hide,
But it's always there, lurking, waiting to
confess.

It's the anger and the fear,

The jealousy and the rage,
The doubts and the insecurities,
That we keep locked up in a cage.

But sometimes, the darkness breaks free,

And we're consumed by its hold,
We lash out and we hurt,
And we do things that we know are bold.

It's a battle that we all must fight,

To keep the darkness at bay,
To find the light within ourselves,
And let it guide us on our way.

For though the darkness may be strong,

The light is stronger still,
And with each step we take towards it,
We move closer to our will.

So let us not be afraid,

Of the darkness that we see,
For it's a part of who we are,
And it can set us free.

Hope

Hope is the seed of change,

A powerful force that can rearrange
Our lives with meaning and purpose new,
A simple act that can work wonders too.

It can inspire us to keep going on,

When our faith and courage are nearly gone,
It can give us a reason to try,
To push on and keep us alive.

It can be a source of strength and joy,

A beacon of light in the darkest of days,
It can guide us through the darkest of night,
And bring us to the morning light.

Hope can motivate us to take risks,

To step out of our comfort zone,
And open up new horizons,
And explore what we've never known.

Hope can give us the courage to grow,

To reach for the stars and go beyond,
To take chances and to learn from our
mistakes,
And to believe that anything is possible.
 A KALEIDOSCOPE OF THOUGHTS

Hope can be a powerful tool,

A seed of growth that can help us bloom,
It can give us courage to keep going,
And the strength to face the unknown.

Wildflower

I grow like a wildflower, wild and free,

In fields, where I’m meant to be.
With each passing day, I bloom and grow,
Knowing my destiny’s bold, I show.

I dance in the breeze, carefree and bright,

Sunlight brings peace, day or night.
Through storms, I stand tall and strong,
Where I belong, where I belong.

Wherever I go, my roots dig deep and wide,

In unknown paths, close by my side.
In new places, I pave my way,
For growth knows no bounds, come what may.

Through cracks in concrete, I break through

the ground,
A symbol of resilience, where hope is found.
For I am a wildflower, full of grace,
Blooming with courage, in every place.

I let the winds carry me, to places unknown,

For in every journey, my spirit has grown.
I am a wildflower, forever on the go,
For wherever I wander, there I truly grow.

The Wandering Soul

I am a wanderer, lost in time,

A soul adrift, in this world of mine
My path is not set, nor is it clear,
But with each step, I feel it near.

I wander through the field of gold.

And chase the stories, yet untold.
I dance with the wind and sing with the stars.
And follow the rhythm of my heart's guitar.

My roots, they run deep, beneath the earth.

And guide me hope, to my place of birth.
For though I warder, far and wide,
My heart where my soul resides.

So I'll keep on wandering, through this life.

And let my heart be my guide.
For in the end, it's not the destination,
But the journey that makes us come alive.

The Powers of Self-Discovery

In our hearts, a journey begins,

Finding ourselves, exploring within.
Like hidden secrets, waiting there,
Exploring inside, everywhere.

Through life’s twists and turns, day by day,

We search for the truth our own way.
We embrace who we are on the inside,
No longer hiding, with hearts open wide.

With each step, we grow much stronger

Discovering the mind’s beauty, no longer
hidden.
Self-discovery, holds the key,
To unlock our hearts and truly be free.

With our flaws and past, we learn to forgive,

We let go of the past and find reasons to live.
We embrace passions, dreams, and our voice,
In doing so, we celebrate and rejoice.

Inside us glows a warm, bright light,

Self-discovery, a journey that feels just right,
We find the joy within our core,
Where love resides, forevermore.

Healing

As I drift away, through pain and sorrow

My heart is aching, my mind so hollow.
The healing begins, deep inside my soul
The hurt is slowly lifting, I'm starting to feel
whole.

The pieces of my heart, that were broken and

torn,
Mending together, so I can be reborn.
I take a deep breath, and slowly exhale
As I move forward, I am no longer in jail.

My spirit is alive, and the darkness has passed

The light shines so brightly, I'm seeing it at last.
The future is now, in my hands I shall take it
And unlock my true potential, so I can make it.

My healing has begun, and I am on the mend

I'm moving forward and I'm beginning to
ascend
The beauty of life, is just around the bend
And I'm here to stay, for my healing never
ends.

Bleed

If you never bleed you will never grow

That is a truth we all must know
For without challenge and pain
We would stay the same.

No journey ever taken

No lesson ever learned
No courage ever found
No bridges ever burned.

If you never bleed you will never grow

That is a truth we all must know
For without suffering
We cannot reach new heights, no matter how
hard we try.

But amidst all the tears and trauma

We can find strength within
And with enough courage and luck
Growth is something we can win.

If you never bleed you will never grow

That is a truth we all must know.
For without struggles and hardships
We would simply stay in the same low.
