In The Sea Of Love

When love strikes and you can’t turn back,
Make sure your heart’s on the right track.
For love’s like sailing on the tide,
With calm and storms that coincide.

Grab your oars, your sail, and steer,
Fill your heart with strength, no fear.
Love’s like the sea, both wild and wide,
It’s smooth today, tomorrow’s a ride.

Face the waves, both high and low,
Hold tight and let your courage grow.
No matter how the winds may howl,
Keep your grip firm, don’t let love foul.

When the waves come crashing fast,
Hold tight to love, it’s built to last.
Look to the sky, seek a sign,
After the storm, the sun will shine.

And if love lets you slip away,
If it can’t stay strong through the fray,
Hold fast and don’t let go of hope,
Swim back to shore, learn how to cope.

Don’t let the tide pull you under,
Stay afloat, don’t let it tear asunder.
Love again, and set your sails,
The calm will come after the gales.

Mythic Love

I was lost, in love’s all-consuming grace,
Like Kama’s arrows, piercing hearts and minds.
“Feel passion’s pull,” his gentle voice a trace,
“Let love ignite, and leave the world behind.”

Rati, his consort, with beauty so divine,
“Come, surrender to love’s deep, tender fire.
Let desire bloom in your heart’s sacred shrine,
In love’s embrace, you’ll find your soul’s desire.”

Saraswati spoke, her wisdom calm and pure,
“Let love be guided by the mind’s clear light,
For in true love, wisdom will always endure,
And balance love with knowledge’s gentle might.”

But Shiva, with his power dark and vast,
“Love is both creation and destruction’s reign.
Through every trial, true love will always last,
In sacrifice, your heart will bear the pain.”

And finally, from the lotus, Vishnu smiled,“
Love is the path, both simple and profound,
In every form, in every heart, compiled,
Love binds the universe, where peace is found.”

In this poem, I reflected on the impending elections in my country in a poignant poetic narrative. I used imagery and commentary to delve into the complexities of political manipulation, the weight of electoral decisions, and the repercussions in our society. Through this poem, I invite my countrymen to confront the stark realities and moral dilemmas that unfold during this crucial period, urging them to engage in introspection and critically engage.

Stolen Kiss

This poem delves into the intoxicating power of a stolen kiss, where passion ignites a series of events that sweep both the heart and mind into an uncontrollable frenzy. The imagery builds from the subtle softness of a simple kiss to the overwhelming intensity of love’s embrace, teetering on the edge of danger and surrender. Through the thief and the captive, the poem explores the thrilling descent into the depths of desire, where the heart is both captive and free.
