my fears follow me like shadows
only a step behind
quiet, ever-present
always tethered to my mind

even when night prepares for its slumber
and the light begins to wane,
they dwell beneath my ribs
pounding with relentless pain

they grow in the dark
not through form—but by weight
and not even the rise of morning light
can free me from my haunted state
how do we escape the shadows in the dark

If I were to leave tomorrow,
would you ever remember me?
would you visit my grave -
Is that how you'd remember me?
Or would you turn me
into a poem of yours,
and keep me alive through you?
In the valleys of Kashmir
Where magical dreams come
True and Kashmir is wrapped
In nature’s fine grace and
A timeless beauty a precious place
And Kashmir is the place to be

As the warm sun shines
Brightly upon me and
Snow capped peaks touch azure skies
Where eagles soar and freedom flies
And Kashmir is truly a magical place
And I love this precious place

And each season is magically
Perfect in Kashmir and the
Summer's warmth invites the sun
And Kashmir is my number one and
The autumn leaves dance side by side
Twirling to the ground and there's
Not even a sound

And the history of Kashmir
Is pround and strong and it's beating
Inside our hearts all day long
And Kashmir is a precious jewel
A hope that peace will conquer every fear

And Kashmir a
Land of pure beauty
Yearning for the light

So let us pray for Kashmir's grace
And Kashmir will flourish
Vibrant safe and strong and
I love this magical place and
Kashmir's beauty thrives and
It's where hearts unite and
Kashmir's future will
Forever bloom in the golden light.

Falling in love is a special
Gift from the Lord above
With the girl you truly love
And each moment they grow ever strong
In this journey of hearts that rhythm and beat along and

Underneath a sky painted bright
Two souls collide in the soft twilight
Laughter dances on the gentle breeze
As moments linger and time seems to freeze

And love fills the air and true love
Is deep inside there heart's tonight and

Your eyes like stars in twilight they gleam
Pulling me closer as if in a dream
We wander through paths where shadows play
In this world of wonder we drift away

And a gentle kiss under the
Moonlight so powerful and bright
As the stars twinkle all through
This romantic night and

They’ve fallen in love where two souls meet kissing under the moonlight.
True Love ❤️ 😍
It’s not the heartbreak that screams.
It’s the silence that follows.
The way someone becomes a stranger
while their memories still live in your chest.
How they laugh with others the way they used to with you—
and you pretend it doesn’t sting.
You act okay.
You smile.
But inside, you're mourning someone who’s still alive,
just no longer yours.
