The Echo in my Heart

I’ve heard the rustle of the trees,A whispered song upon the breeze.I’ve heard the waves in endless play,They rise, they crash, they drift away. I’ve heard the birds at break of dawn,Their melodies so sweetly drawn.Yet still, no sound can quite compare,To your soft laughter in the

The Glow Within

They told me to find joy in the dawn,In the dew drops shimmering in the morn.In the golden rays outlining the waves,In the song of the breeze as it dances and sways. But the sun sunk and the skies grew dark,Gloomy clouds taking away the spark.The aura slowly turned grey,And all light faded away. The

Where Were You?

You said you’ll stand by me when times are rough,That you’ll never leave, your support was enough.But where were you when the storms rolled in,When all was lost and hope grew dim? You said you’ll catch me if I ever fell,That you always understood, you could naturally tell.But where were you wh

Confined Horizons

Stab my heart with a flaming sword,Pluck out my veins, chord by chord.Let fire consume what once was whole,Burn my insides—obliterate my soul. A priority, I once believed,An irreplaceable bond I conceived.United by threads unseen yet strong,How did it all go so wrong? Sweet illusions kept me confi

My Innovus Journey: A Tribute in Verse

Beneath the hum of glowing screens, we thrive,Each keystroke echoing ambition’s drive.Innovus, where dreams and purpose collide,Together we rise, as one unified. Through breakfast retros and dinners alike,Where ideas bloom and inspiration would strike.Giggles, laughter, and stresses faced,Within t

The Haunting Dare

“Don’t be such a spoilsport, Ava,” Logan teased. “Don’t do it, it’s not worth it!” Sienna shrieked. Ava rolled her eyes. “This is ridiculous. I’ll do this one, but no more such silly dares,” She shot a warning glance at Logan. “No promises,” Logan replied with a wink. Sienna

The Lost Hour

Ethan gasped. He rubbed his eyes and stared at the clock again. How could it be? He had just sat down to have his supper. He clearly recalled looking at his digital clock, which had just struck 7 p.m. His plate was still on the table, untouched. The clock now read 8 p.m. Ethan gingerly […]

My Guiding Light

Of all the people I’ve had the privilege to know,None in my mind creates such a beautiful glow.A radiator of positivity, hope, and charm,With a charismatic persona, so tranquil and calm. A lighthouse in the midst of roaring waves,A guiding beacon that protects and saves.A shining moon in the d

The Locked Room

Iris suddenly opened her eyes. The banging had woken her up again. She glanced at the luminous hands of the clock on her wall. It was 3:30 a.m. The banging sounded again, jolting her. Wrapping a shawl around herself, she got out of bed. Iris couldn’t stand this any longer. She walked to the end [&
