A series of poems Life is an ever-changing kaleidoscope of emotions, where we can bask in the warmth of love, shiver in the chill of fear, radiate with the brightness of joy, be enveloped by the darkness of sorrow, find solace in the calm of peace, be swept away by the turbulence of anger, experience the depth of sadness, be jolted by the spark of surprise, and relish in the sweetness of gratitude. While nine shades may not full capture all the emotions, they can certainly help us express and understand our feelings in profound ways. This is not a tale about specific people or places, nor is it a work of fiction. It is merely a story about a unique and intricate soul, with its own hopes, fears, dreams, and struggles. Enjoy the journey of words and emotions that awaits you! - @heliotropes_

Ambivalence is a poetry collection that wades through the restless tides of love-its tenderness and torment, its longing and loss. Told through the dual voices of a boy and a girl, these poems unravel the contradictions of the heart: the way love can be both a refuge and a battlefield, a whisper and a storm. His words ache with quiet devotion, with the weight of wanting but never saying enough. Hers hum with defiance and yearning, the sharp edges of hope and hesitation. Together, they paint a love story that is neither whole nor broken-only suspended in the space between. COLLAB POETRY COLLECTION BY @__augustblue & @KallolDutta0

Poppy is a wide thinker. She thinks of everything that is possible at that precise moment in time, to the point that she infuriates herself. When she meets John, she has to force herself to think of much less possibilities than normal, knowing that the odds were not in her favour, and nothing would ever be able to happen under any circumstances. Unless she could think of a way out of it...

"please.. let me be with you, you promised that you'll never leave me" He begged. "I don't make promises and you already know that" She stated. "You're the worst liar Chel.. I hate you" "Love is cruel, isn't it?" She uttered. What do you think will happen if two enemies fall for each other?

Our journey believe it or not begins the very day we are born. Our parents, the moment they look at us are filled with so many emotions and aspirations which we can't even begin to comprehend, certainly not then and not even now. At the end its upon us to discover ourselves and chart of a course for our journey. Even though the journey might not be "perfect" and riddled with difficulties, finding the positive spirit and passing it on to others is what makes it worthwhile.

Is it possible / For a person to be so torn / Pain festers in their chest / Like a stagnant poison, / Feeding on and unraveling / Their soul's meticulous knitting? / ... We are realistic and reasonable / The heart, / This wild, pathological thing / Beating uncontrollably in my ribcage- / We must control it.

The door creaked open, and there he stood - Arjun Maheshwari, a silhouette framed by the doorway. His eyes, once the sunflowers that captivated Maham's gaze, now held a different story. "Arjun, you're back sooner than expected," Maham remarked, her eyes betraying a mixture of surprise and curiosity. Arjun, meeting her gaze, carried the weight of unspoken words. "There have been developments," he replied cryptically, his eyes revealing a turbulence within. His gaze fixated on Maham, seemed to be wrestling with a revelation. The premature return hinted at an undercurrent of tension, a deviation from the anticipated timeline that set the stage for a fresh wave of challenges and discoveries. In those initial moments of reunion, neither Arjun nor Maham ventured into the tempest of conversation.As the hours passed, the room became a silent arena where glances spoke volumes and the air crackled with unspoken tensions. "I found something, Maham," Arjun finally broke the silence, his voice tinged with a mixture of pain and urgency. Maham, pausing in her actions, looked at him with a furrowed brow. "Found something? What do you mean?" Arjun hesitated, as if grappling with the weight of the truth he was about to unveil. "Proof," he said tersely. "Proof that indicates your involvement, Maham, in something much more sinister." Maham's eyes widened in disbelief, her heart pounding in her chest. "What are you talking about, Arjun? We've spent months together. You know me!" "The truth has a way of revealing itself, Maham. It hurts, but I can't ignore what I've found" said Arjun. He came forward to her and caressed her cheeks feeling her sweet breath on his lips then he moved backward the tender moment, however, took an unexpected turn as Arjun's hand, which had moments ago caressed her, now delivered a resounding *SLAP*. Stunned, she looked at Arjun, his eyes now devoid of the warmth she once knew.

Ambivalence: To have two strong constricting emotions. Ex: Love-Hate relationship. He took another step towards me, an angry look haunting his blue eyes. "I hate you." His harsh words collided with my heart, cutting deep into the broken mess. "I despise you!" I shot my fist forward, aiming for his perfect jaw. "Then why can't you stay away?" His voice was suddenly soft, almost seductively sweet. "I could ask you the same thing." "Its quite simple, really. You are my favorite drug." With a smirk, he was gone. I took a deep breath. I couldn't deny these feelings. I loved him. I hated him. I needed him.
