Pillars Of Quiet Strength

In a world often shaped by expectations and labels, it’s easy to overlook the men who have quietly shaped us with their kindness, strength, and wisdom. Have you ever considered how the positive men in your life have truly transformed you?

In the embrace of my father’s care,
I learned that strength comes with being fair.
He showed me how to face the world bold,
With a heart that’s warm, a spirit that’s gold.

My brothers, mischievous yet kind,
Taught me how to laugh, and unwind.
They showed me a love that doesn’t demand,
But always offers a helping hand.

From friends who never made me hide,
I learned the power of standing by one’s side.
Their words lifted me when I was down,
They saw the queen, even without a crown.

Teachers with wisdom, gentle and wise,
Opened my mind and cleared my eyes.
They nurtured the dreams I dared to chase,
With patience, guidance, and boundless grace.

Yes, I’ve met shadows, men who’ve been unkind,
But I refuse to let them define my mind.
For every wound, there’s been a healing touch,
From men whose presence meant so much.

These men, imperfect yet strong and true,
Have shaped me into someone new.
Through love, respect, and lessons shared,
They’ve made me more than I ever dared.

Though shadows may exist, I know the light of the good men who shaped me will always outshine them. What role have the positive men in your life played in your growth?

Game Of Fire and Ice

Hey Mister, Why won't you play a game of Twister? I promise I won't play coy. Won't you love it if I were your only toy? You can be the Lion in the boardroom, Then make me roar in the bedroom. Let's play the game of fire and ice. You bring the sugar, and I get the spice. I am praying by myself these nights, Drowning my moans when the city sleeps tight. We can play the game of Super Sonic, And then have our own race over some gin and tonic. So find me, like an app can find a phone. No, I won't bring out my Medusa and turn you into stone. I have been getting over my fears, Learned to make my tears into spears. You can take me as you like. We can go until we hear the third strike.

Polished Sins

A suit and tie, that polished smile, Covering up sins stacked mile by mile. They flaunt “new love,” someone else’s child— A ready-made story, perfectly styled. They’ve “levelled up,” or so they preach, But on someone’s pain, they made their reach, With vows of loyalty, words so neat, While another’s screams lie beneath their feet. Oh, they “moved on” to brighter skies, Leaving someone broken, with silent cries. They mount new heights, they shout and boast— Scaling peaks on another's haunted ghost. So smile for the camera, flash your pride, Show off the life that you tried to hide. For we know the truth beneath your gleam— A hollow show, a self-made scheme.

Till You Sing

Some would say men went to war for women like you, But I would still choose war if it meant choosing you. You say you write in amorous lines, But I would let you be the woman of my tribe. You had your adventures Under The Buda Moon, But have you been loved past noon? So I can see you shine like a magical flower, In the quiet warmth of the golden hour. The invisible strings pull at my heart Can I do justice to your name? Caress you right, Till you sing like a Carnatic hymn. Inspired by the author of Under The Buda Moon, Veena Rao
