Oh, Mother! ! the wonder of my life,
A beacon of love who vanquishes strife:
A guardian angel whose presence I feel,
A sanctuary of safety, a balm to heal.
...

Oh where, oh where have my socks gone?
I swear I left them here, and now they're gone!
I've checked the drawers, I've checked the shoes -
I've checked the laundry and even the blues! !
...

Oh! COVID, you cheeky little germ,
A sneaky foe, we never saw you squirm.
You slinked into our lives, what a ruckus,
An unwanted guest, what a hubbub! !
...

Diversity and inclusion; it's a challenge we must meet
For though it holds great beauty, it's not always sweet.
In the struggle to create a world of acceptance
We must confront the issues and make our presence.
...

In my kitchen, pots and pans,
Ingredients measured out by hand.
A recipe book lying clear -
All set to make a gourmet cuisine, oh dear!
...

Amidst the chaos' deafening noise
Nature proffers a poised poise
When the rustling leaves dance in accord
And the chirping birds chirp in euphoric overboard.
...

From the resonant echoes of our first cries
To the sounds of contented smiles that now comprise
Our happy moments, life's tapestry has woven
A story of growth, transformation, and devotion.
...

Humans...such a nuanced breed
From their whimsical idiosyncrasies to their existential need.
They erect towering edifices and commute in luxurious cars
But in the grand scheme of things, do they really see the stars?
...

Wrapped in a cloak of somber hue
My heartstrings pull as sorrow ensues.
In the quiet of my troubled mind,
A requiem plays for joys left behind.
...

Sacrifice.. oh! what a word.
A concept that may seem unheard.
Yet, we make them every day;
Fighting for what we want to say.
...

It's raining cats and dogs outside
And I'm feeling like a soggy fry
But then I had a brilliant thought
That might just make my day a lot less fraught
...

In the dead of night, as I lay in bed,
An eerie buzzing filled my head,
A mosquito, a demon, aiming to shed
My blood and sanity with a hunger that led.
...

In the labyrinth of despair, where the illumination fails to penetrate,
I stand solitary, grappling with winds of adversity that agitate.
These tenebrous instants, they toss me asunder and assault,
As I am but a flimsy feather, caught up in capricious thunderbolts.
...

I've seen others receive a hundred roses,
Their excitement dancing in their eyes.
But for me, the gesture seemed elusive,
Something that never seemed to materialize.
...

The pen hits paper with a clean-cut sound,
And ink spills out, the words unbound,
A poem taking shape before your eyes,
Its form like magic in disguise.
...

In the fleeting days of our youthful prime,
Where love and warmth are our constant rhyme,
A cherished home, a haven of peace,
Where we bask in parents' love, and life's sweet lease.
...

The prickle of separation...a blow-by-blow,
Devastating emotions, adrenaline counterflow
The remnants of love with grief, reaching an overflow.
...

Oh! Shimmering sea of unspoken words,
Thou whisperer of secrets untold,
A fairy tale woven by the birds,
More enchanting than stories of old.
...

O, Love, thou art a mercurial thing
A force upon which many cling
Thy promise of eternal bliss...
Can oftentimes spark much abyss.
...

Lost in the chaos of my mind,
I wander in search of peace to find.
Surrounded by fear and doubt,
I struggle to find my way out.
