Waves of life

 The darkness comes in waves

Like the ocean late at night

Each wave with a crash 
Even though it's out of sight 
The sound of a gentle beating 
Of the water on the shore
Always leaves me wandering 
Always wanting more 
More than just the darkness 
And the crashing sounds of waves 
More than to just keep counting 
The minutes in a day 
When do the waves stop coming 
When do they disappear 
Do they ever go away 
That's a stupid question 
I know They are here to stay 
Drowning in the ocean 
Below the sand and waves 
Maybe we will find each other 
On a brighter day 
Until then I lay my head 
and close my sleepy eyes 
Tomorrow I might not see 
But that is no surprise 
On a downhill ***** with no right way
The only choice is down 
Speeding faster and faster the words they won't come out 
Screaming for help but there's no one around 
To hear my empty scream 
I wake up to tell myself it's all just a bad dream 
But it's not a dream 
Not anymore 
The waves have grabbed my leg 
Pulling me in slowly I'm trying not to beg 
I fought and fought but I'm tired now 
It is time that I let go
Let the breaking waves drag me out 
There is nowhere else to go

Happy Birthday my Mummy(In Heaven)

Happy Birthday, dear Mummy, my heart’s guiding light, In my thoughts, you live on, still holding me tight. From the first day I entered your world, unsure, You welcomed me gently, though my path felt obscure. We faced our share of rough days and storms, Yet your warmth transformed, softened and warm. In time, you saw my fears, my tireless strife, And mother-in-law faded— you became my life. I remember the strength in your steadfast hand, Lifting me up when I struggled to stand. You walked with me, calmed each unsure breath, Your love a compass, a lifeline from death. In moments of doubt, I’d look to your face, Finding in you an endless grace. You were my shelter, my mother’s embrace, A place where my heart could finally feel safe. You’ve left a space I’ll never refill, The mornings feel empty, the nights so still. Your laughter, your wisdom, the stories we’d share, Now echo in silence; I search, but you’re not there. Yet I feel you, mummy, in each step I take,...

A Soul Unheard

She stood with a heart, open and bare, But his words were daggers, slicing the air. Not in shouts, nor in fights loud and wild, But in silence that crushed, cold and defiled. Like a pot turned upside down, sealed tight, No matter her plea, no matter her fight. Her innocence lay, unheard, unseen, Drowned in shadows where truth had been. Her watering eyes became his delight, A silent victory in the dead of night. He wove his stories, twisted and spun, And they believed the damage was done. What is pain, if not this slow decay? A body that breathes, but fades away. For death is kinder, swift and bright, But to live unloved is endless night. DayaNair

The Spark Within

  Sit a moment, close your eyes, Dive into the depths where memory lies. Feel the weight of days gone by, The lows that made you ask, “Why?” The nights so long, the tears that fell, The silent struggles you’d never tell. But from the shadows, a spark did rise, A quiet strength beneath the skies. Now think of the triumphs, the laughter, the gain, The lessons learned from every pain. The hands you held, the dreams you chased, The moments of grace that cannot be erased. Life’s a tapestry of dark and light, A battle fought with all your might. And here you stand, a story to tell, A living proof you’ve conquered hell. You are the hero, the flame, the guide, The inspiration that none can hide. No voice, no name, no fleeting trend, Can shape your path or make it bend. For deep inside, a truth does glow: You are the light you need to follow. So close your eyes, and let it be known, The greatest inspiration is your own. Daya Nair🫶
