The Day It Changed

 It was on that day I came to know,
That some paths are meant to let go.
The same day returns with every year,
Bringing silent memories near.

The heart pauses for no clear reason,
As though time itself remembers the season.
It searches for what no longer stays,
Yet walks the same familiar ways.

Failure greets with an old embrace,
As if it has memorized my face.
Ah, fate... play your games if you must;
One day, even you will return to dust.

If You Were Here, Mom

 I miss you, Mom, in countless ways,
More than words could ever say;
Though only on a few quiet days
My tears find you along the way.

If you had been here by my side,
Life would have felt less hard to ride;
Your gentle words, your steady hand,
Would have helped me learn to stand.

You were my courage, calm, and light,
The one who turned my fears to flight;
Your smile alone could make me see
That hope was never far from me.

Now every road feels strange and wide,
With no one walking by my side;
I'm scared to choose what's right or wrong,
Unsure where I truly belong.

If only once I could hear you say,
"Don't worry... you'll find your way."
Perhaps I'd walk with strength once more,
Like the child I was before.

I miss you, Mom... more than I show,
More than this world will ever know;
For if you were still holding my hand,
I'd fear no path this life had planned.

Guide Me Home

Heavenly Lord, where do I begin?
I've lost the battle that's within.
The roads are many, my strength is small,
I'm losing myself—please hear my call.

My mind is weary, my heart unsure,
Nothing in this world feels safe or pure.
If I have wandered, show me the way;
Hold my hand—I can no longer stray.

I'm not asking for riches or endless fame,
Just the courage to rise again.
If You are near, don't let me fall
Be my answer... be my all.

Love Beyond a Voice

 He found a heart in a voice unseen,
A world of warmth through a digital dream;
She understood the silence he carried inside,
And walked with his lonely heart as a guide.

A love that felt real, yet had no face,
A beautiful bond beyond time and space;
But every soul must grow and move on,
Leaving memories behind when the moment is gone.

The Same Rain, A Different Time

 All came back again—the rain, the wind,
The cool breeze carrying songs within;
The same old music played once more,
Like memories knocking at my door.

The world looked similar, yet not the same,
Time had changed everything without a name;
The places remained, the moments passed,
What I was searching was never meant to last.

I looked for something that wasn’t there,
A shadow hidden in empty air;
Should I smile, should I sigh, should I stay?
Or accept the truth and walk away?

The answer whispers, soft and clear
Move ahead, leave behind the fear;
But will this immature heart understand,
Or keep searching with an open hand?

It waits, it breaks, it tries again,
Holding memories like drops of rain;
Yet deep inside, one truth I know
Some stories end… and we let them go.

Your Shadow

 Why do I wait for your presence still,
Though time has moved against my will?
Not to return, not to belong,
Yet your absence feels strangely strong.

I search for nothing, yet I do,
In crowds, in silence, thoughts of you;
And somehow even your passing shade
Leaves my heart quietly comforted.

Radha’s Question

 Radha knew he would not return,
Still her heart chose only him to yearn;
No promises held, no wedding flame,
Yet forever she carried Krishna’s name.

Krishna walked toward crown and throne,
While Radha stayed in love alone;
So the heart keeps asking deep inside
Why did he leave her by the riverside?

If he loved her, why not return?
Why let her wait, why let her burn?
Was love just music beneath the sky,
Meant only for a passing time?

But perhaps love is not always stay,
Nor holding someone all the way;
Perhaps Krishna’s truth was strange and vast
A love too divine for the world to grasp.

For Radha never asked to reign,
Nor wished to bind him with her pain;
She loved him beyond return or claim,
And thus became eternal with his name.

Still, somewhere, a human heart would ask:
Did Krishna leave her in the past?
Or did he carry her all along,
Silent… hidden beneath his song?

No one knows the final truth above,
For divine stories blur human love;
Yet Radha’s faith through all remained
That true love need not always be retained.
