Stay away from people with dark thoughts

By -
At dusk yesterday
I didn't switch on the lights
I sat till the entire house was in the dark
I looked at all the things -
Bedside tables, sofa, paintings on the wall
Only the edges were visible
I tried hard to see the details
But I couldn't
Even the familiar things were hard to recognize
So I told myself
Darkness can suck everything into it
And make it its own
You have too much strength, beauty, magic inside you
That you're unaware of
Never let darkness come near you
You won't be able to see the good things
Be happy
Stay away from dark thoughts and people with dark thoughts
Especially  people with dark thoughts
Because they are the ones
Who never let you turn on the lights
Making it impossible for you to see the goodness inside
I wrote these two posts last week. What are your thoughts on these two and the poem?

    This poem and every word carries a sheen of positivity and power energy to take darkness away from the soul. Thank you, Saru!

    True, darkness sucks everything into it. Beautifully penned.
    Both the verses evoke equal emotions... But the first one is so relatable. Loved them.

    A motivational poem. Both the quotes are beautiful.
    As mentioned in the poem darkness ruin the way how we perceive life. A positive poem containing a positive message... Liked it... :-)

    You have to think positive thoughts to feel good. And positivity is infectious as is negativity. So yes, stay away from negative thoughts and pessimists. Loved both.

    Hi Saru,
    Happy to be here.
    Indeed a well versed write-up
    Yes, darkness diminishes everything around.
    Let's be light in the darkness to reveal the deed of darkness!
    I love the quotes too, but i prefer the first one more.
    Keep writing.

Rewind - September 2023

 I wrote the following in September. Sometimes, I feel I will forget the art of writing couplets because I am not writing at all this year. I strongly believe you have to practice to hone your craft. And I am not doing that. Perhaps I schedule a time to write a poem. Or I need better time management skills. Date Published 09/05/2023 मुझे उसके जाने का इतना अफ़सोस नहीं हुआ  जितना इस बात का कि इतने सालों तक उसे रहने ही क्यों दिया  Love, Saru

फ़ुर्सत में मिलना मुझसे यूँ दो चार घंटे के लिए नहीं  सिर्फ़ हाल चाल नहीं पूछना बातें करनी है तुमसे कई देखना है तुम्हें एक टक शिकवे करने है तुमसे कई हज़ार जब नाराज़ हुए थे तुम मुझसे और जब छेड़ा था मुझे बीच बाज़ार चवन्नी-अठन्नी सा ढोंग मत करना मान लेना मेरे हर कहे को सुबकियाँ से काम मत चलाना बेहने देना ग़र आँसू बेहे तो  सख़्त होने का दिखावा छोड़ आना नुक्कड़ वाले बनिये की दुकान पे सिद्दत से एक बार बोल देना  कि गलती होती है इंसान से तुम मुझे छोड़ गए उसका तुम्हें कभी अफ़सोस हुआ है क्या मैं नहीं तुमसे पूछूँगी  कि मेरे बाद मेरी तरह किसी को छुआ है क्या  ना मैं इस युग की मीरा हूँ  ना हो तुम मेरे घनश्याम बस इश्क़ है तुमसे बेपन्नह मुझे बाक़ी सब कुछ है मुझमें आम  तुम भी सोचते होगे ना  यह तीली सा इश्क़, ज्वालामुखी कब हुआ यूँ समझ लो तुम्हारे जाने के बाद तुम्हारे ख़याल ने दिन में 100 बार मुझे छुआ अब गणित में तो तुम अव्वल हो हिसाब लगा ही लोगे पर सोच के आना जनाब  पिछले 15 सालों का हिसाब कैसे दोगे  तो आना बस फ़ुरसत में  यूँ दो चार घंटे के लिए नहीं  सिर्फ़ हाल चाल नहीं पूछना बातें करनी है तुमसे कई

I Am Not Alone

Last year blessed me, He walked silently into my life. It was Love, That took me in its stride. One evening we walked holding hands, Then, I told him what I felt in heart. He said we were one soul, Who were living in parts. To bring the parts together, We fought with the world and tied the knot. Being one soul, Gave life a whole new spot. Chirping birds, floating clouds, Nature conspired for us. Always swimming against the tide, Life was in an adrenaline rush. This year cursed me, He walked silently out of my life. It was Death, That took him in its stride.       Yesterday his soul was saying, Fearing memories will fade, he can’t move on. He will stay and admire me, Standing always by my side from dusk to dawn.
