Everything Should be on Time
Poem by Rajesh Sharma
–
Don’t wait for the perfect moment,
The cold water won’t warm up late,
Jump in with courage, show your intent
Your strength will rise and future fate.
The clock ticks on, it keeps rolling,
Hesitation is a story untold,
Seize the moment and stop doubting,
Be brave, see your bright future unfold.
Rise above the fear’s dark tide,
Let your grit be the waves you ride,
Every step forward’s a victory won,
Your path for glory has just begun.
Amidst the challenges, find your might,
Emerge stronger, shining bright,
So take the leap, don’t wait anymore,
Your future self is waiting on that shore

Letter to My Daughter
Poem by Rajesh Sharma
–
My dearest daughter, though miles apart,
My love for you beats in my heart.
Every step, every smile, every dream,
You’re with me, in my thoughts, always seem.
In dreams I see your shining face,
A guiding star in a busy space.
I may not be there physically,
But my love, my support, is always with thee.
As you grow, learn, and spread your wings,
My heart swells with pride, and joy that clings.
I’ll be the shelter when life gets tough,
And cheer you on, with a silent puff.
In every story, in every song,
You’ll find my love, where you belong.
Keep shining bright, my little star,
Forever yours, near or far

Be Her Choice Not A Burden
Poem by Rajesh Sharma
–
Hold her hand, but let her wings fly
If she stays it is love it not it’s a goodbye
The love you beg, is a love that’s gone
The love that’s free has to be the one
She didn’t leave because she didn’t Love
Left because, you never did prove
Love is a dance, not a fight
Which has to stay everyday and night.
Don’t chase the heart that doesn’t align
Let go, and let love find its rhythm again
In silence, find your inner peace
And let her go, if that’s what she seeks
In love’s vast space, don’t be a plea
Be the calm wave, let her be the sea
If she returns, it’s a gift to cherish
If not, the love already did vanish.

Aching Melancholy
Poem by Rajesh Sharma
–
Echoes of love, whispers of pain
Memories linger, heart still in vain
Wife’s love lost, daughter’s smile far
Longing remains, like a distant star
In empty halls, her laughter’s trace
Lives on, a bittersweet, haunting space
Her smile, a fleeting, golden ray
Tears me apart, each endless day
Her love, a flame that still burns bright
A beacon in this dark, endless night
I clench my fists, and try to hold
Onto the memories, the love we mold
Like sand through my fingers, it’d slip
Leaving only longing’s aching grip
Yet in this ache, I’ll find my way
To cherish love, though it’s gone astray

Sometimes Hope is a Trap
Poem by Rajesh Sharma
–
Hope’s gentle whisper fills the night
A comforting breeze, a fleeting light
But dawn breaks slow, and shadows play
Leaving doubts to enjoy the day
In heartbreak’s haze, it’s hard to see
The line between hope and misery
We clive to what once felt like love
A fragile thread, gifted from above
Time ticks on, and seasons go on
Yet in our hearts, old flames burn on
Memories taunt, and whispers linger
What’s gone within a harsh reminder
But as the sun sets on this endless night
A glimmer dawns, a spark takes flight
Let go, move on, and find your way
For in the darkness, a new dawn’s at play

When the Going Gets Tough
Poem by Rajesh Sharma
–
When the going gets tough, don’t lose your way
By being tough seize the day
Storms will pass, the sun will shine
You’ll rise stronger, like an early dawn
Challenges hit, but you don’t fall
You’re the fighter with a warrior’s call
Every step up takes you higher
Tough times can’t stop your desire
The road’s tough, but you’re tougher still
You’ve got fire in your solid soul
Don’t give up, don’t lose the fight
You’ll shine brighter with each new light
So when the going gets hard and rough
The tough get going you’re enough
You’ll break the chains and will make it through,
When you rise, the world witnesses the real You.
