Elixir of Life and Symphony of Grief



In twilight's embrace, secrets reside,
Where blood and tears intricately collide,
A canvas of enigma, emotions unfurled,
A tapestry woven in a mysterious world.

Crimson rivers flow, with stories untold,
Are they life's essence or sorrows, behold?
Bleeding wounds, or passions ablaze,
In the realm of ambiguity, their meaning plays.

Tears cascade, glistening in moon's gentle light,
Are they signs of joy or the shroud of the night?
Streams of sorrow or cleansing grace,
Within their ambiguity, emotions interlace.

Blood, a symbol of life or lingering pain,
A river of vitality or scars that remain?
Elixir of passion or a haunting trace,
Ambiguity's dance within its crimson embrace.

Tears, the language of joy or despair,
Are they baptismal waters or burdens we bear?
In their silent eloquence, we seek solace,
An enigma woven through each teardrop's face.

Blood and tears, a duality entwined,
In their ambiguity, meanings undefined,
Inviting interpretations, manifold and vast,
The fusion of emotions, a captivating contrast.

They speak of wounds and healing balm,
Of resilience and vulnerability's calm,
A juxtaposition of life's paradoxical state,
Ambiguity's realm, where meanings await.

Soasmi Kohli

In the solitude of my writing sanctuary, I find solace and liberation. It is there, amidst the hushed whispers of inspiration, that I give life to my innermost thoughts and emotions. I explore the delicate balance between light and shadow, the delicate intricacies of the human condition, and the timeless truths that connect us all. more…
