If only I knew how







 There is a garden in me,

hidden with flowers no one has seen.

Their petals stretch toward a sun I can barely touch,
a warmth glowing quietly, like fire in a lantern,
safe but aching to break free.

I wish you could see it,
this light, this flame.
It’s enough to survive a thousand winters,
but here it is, flickering in silence,
waiting in the deep places of my heart.

I have gathered stars for you
whole constellations cupped in my hands,
but when I try to give them,
they slip through my fingers
and fall back into the dark.

My love speaks in a language
I haven’t learned,
a soft whisper , always just out of reach,
and I stumble,
trying to give it shape,
to bring it to you in a way you’d feel,
like sunlight, like rain, like something real.

If only I knew how to hold you in this light
and let it speak for me.
If only you knew
how deep, how quiet,
how endless
this love truly is.

The Cup of Tea

                                                                                  You know, life...  Life has its own instrumentals,its own strange choreography. It doesn’t always waltz in step with our plans, and sometimes it drags us across the floor when all we want is to sit down and rest.  But then,  one fine day,  something happens.. something quiet.. something almost imperceptible… You wake up, and it’s as if the weight you’ve carried all these years has dissolved in the silence of the morning.  The grudges you nursed like old wounds..they’re gone.  The baggage you dragged through every moment..they’re not yours anymore.  You’re free. And suddenly,  the world feels like it’s made of color again.  The air is sweeter, the sunlight feels...

Through Your Eyes

Image
                                                         The world becomes so beautiful,vibrant and alive, when seen through your eyes.  How you hold the universe in your gaze, like a painter dipping his brush into the infinite colors of dawn.  Your eyes see beauty in the smallest things..a raindrop, a fluttering leaf, the way the light touches the earth at dusk.  Each moment, you see.. you breathe life into, transforming the ordinary into something extraordinary. Through your  eyes, the world isn’t just a place, it’s a canvas of endless possibilities.  How even in the darkest moments, you see hope not as a distant dream, but as the warmth in every sunrise.  The world is never as cruel, never as cold when you are  there to remind it of its hidden kindness, its quiet tenderness. Through your eyes, I see the wor...

The Myth of Law as Social Engineering: Idealism Vs Reality

Image
"Law is social engineering." This profound statement by Roscoe Pound encapsulates the transformative potential of legal systems.  Unlike traditional engineering, which constructs tangible edifices like houses and roads, social engineering through law seeks to build the intangible frameworks of society—justice, order, and social welfare. However, the dissonance between this ideal and the realities on the ground raises an important question: why does the law, envisioned as a powerful tool of social engineering, often fail to produce visible outcomes akin to its physical engineering counterparts? For decades, the concept of law as social engineering has struggled to gain traction. Several factors contribute to this discrepancy. The complexity of human behavior plays a significant role. Unlike physical materials, human behavior is unpredictable and influenced by myriad factors—cultural, economic, psychological, and social. Laws may aim to engineer societal outcomes, but their imp...
