Mind-a transient playmate
Eshwara Prasad Jan 2024
The mind, a soul's playmate, a transient guide.
One instant an ally, the next a tempest ride.
Its beauty can entice, so handle it carefully, like a delicate dream.
To prevent it from straying too far from you, tether it gently.
But keep your focus always, for you must return to your soul.

Empty Experience
Eshwara Prasad Oct 2023
Life unfolds as a journey of aimless strides, time has abandoned faces, and shadows have lit souls.
Just as a thunderclap fills an empty cave, the experience is void.

A life-long wait gone waste
Eshwara Prasad Jan 2024
Waited, yearning for your arrival. 
A life's wait, a timeless dream. 
But the words of dissonance you shared with everyone about me tarnished my worth beyond repair. 
My life is in ruins amidst your scorn.
