Bloodstream...🩸♠️ / Between the blurry lines of her love and ecstasy... / 💎 ••• It’s been quite a while since I’ve been gone but with all this poetry sitting inside me I definitely will push to post more consistently and set it free. I truly appreciate all those who support my work and look forward to continue expanding the Deck of Poetry ♠️ @deckofpoetry

Farmer... ♠️ / As some of you may know, there

Farmer... ♠️ / As some of you may know, there is the largest protest ever (250 million) going on in India with farmers fighting for their livelihoods while mainstream media has decided not to cover it. The Indian government introduced 3 devastating laws that undermine the farmers, taking away secure measures such as minimum support price (MSP) and giving corporations leverage to strong arm farmers. I'm born in Toronto, Canada but my family comes from Punjab, India with a farming heritage that has culturally run for centuries. Without their sacrifice, I wouldn't have the privilege to be here today. Visit my stories and pages such as @sikhexpo to learn more about the matter. Please share this post to push for the unheard voices. As an artist with a platform, this is the least I could do to leave a mark. / 💎 @deckofpoetry

Priceless... ♠️ / In a world full of overwhelm

Priceless... ♠️ / In a world full of overwhelming opinions, judgements and standards, you must always know yourself and find your axis. Never let the world dictate your worth. Time and experience is all we have, and our life is the price. / 💎 @deckofpoetry

Keys... 🔑♠️ / Never been attracted to the shores, you can catch me in the deep end. Unraveling every coil, my mind leaves her world bent. / 💎 @deckofpoetry

Double-Edged... ♠️ / Sharpened sword with double-edges moving through this world with no regrets. Staying true to the real ones as a wolf in a pack, yet dangerous to any threat like a jungle lion on the attack. 💎 @deckofpoetry

Lovetry...♠️ / When she plays every card right and leaves you with no choice but to immortalize her with words of stone in the Deck. The power of a writer in love is his/her ability to capture and immortalize it with words. We as humans have an expiry date but our words will live forever. This piece title ‘Lovetry’ is a wordplay twist to Poetry I created to describe a poet writing about love (pronounced like poetry). (Deck Card Version) 💎 @deckofpoetry

Bonnie & Clyde... ♠️💎
The Sun & Moon.
The Day & Night.
The Yin & Yang.
The Left For Every Right.
The Darkness Inside The Light.
The Eyes For Every Sight.

Been a long while, but I’m finally back to expand the Deck of Poetry. 💎♠️ @deckofpoetry

Core... 💎 We all have a core, it is magnetic, i

Core... 💎 We all have a core, it is magnetic, it is our foundation, our center, our grounding and what makes us all human. Knowing yourself by looking within is perhaps one of the most powerful ways to better your life. With this comes self-realization and alignment, which eventually makes the world fall in place as if ones putting a complex puzzle together. Our beauty also lies beyond our core (a trees roots) in what makes us all different and unique (a trees branches) just as every tree has different set of leafs or fruits. By knowing oneself, you become far more resilient and understanding of your surroundings in the context of who you are. 💎♠️ @deckofpoetry

Flower... ♠️🌹 / The type to give more life

Flower... ♠️🌹 / The type to give more life to life. The type to make you feel like you’ve already lived twice. The type that just can’t be no longer typed. She leaves an irreplaceable trace wherever she goes, carries a magnetic flow that’ll keep you on your toes. - @deckofpoetry 💎♠️ #deckofpoetry

Imagery...💎 As a poetic writer, I seek to create visuals, symbols, or ultimatums that take your mind on a journey with an unfamiliar language. Bending words in unique ways to capture the essence of every card in the Deck of Poetry is always my mission. Dense as a diamond, I compress every piece with potency to deliver my signature touch. The beauty of it all is you’ll never know what’s to come next as I like to keep the themes limitless. Truth is, even I don’t know what’s next sometimes but that’s what keeps me inspired. If you’ve got a talent of any kind, never shy away from embracing it and owning it. If you don’t feel yourself, who will? @deckofpoetry 💎♠️ #deckofpoetry

Dark Angel... Good & Bad...she’s an irresistible enigma. 💎 @deckofpoetry ♠️

Gentleman... | It all begins within...character over everything. Appearance may give initial impressions, but being a classy gentleman will always start from the inside out. In other words you cannot buy it, rather only live it. | 💎♠️ @deckofpoetry

Limitless... | Live your life without limits becau

Limitless... | Live your life without limits because sometimes the sky isn’t even high enough. The only limits that exist are the ones designed by your state of mind. Change perspective, flip the angle, rewrite the script and life will make its way. As an artist with a platform, some things are just too important to ignore & separate. The world is in a rough place right now and taking a stand for what’s right and those being oppressed is our responsibility. Silence is not an option as it empowers the enemy. I want to dedicate this piece to George Floyd (Rest in Peace) and the entire community fighting for their rights. To all those oppressed, your potential is limitless...do not stop at the sky or let this world define your boundaries. Change is coming...change is limitless. Leave your thoughts in the comments to show unity. | 💎 @deckofpoetry

She Moves... 🌊 | She is shapeless, formless & free flowing as the oceans. The world cannot define her, so it must accept her limitless ways of being. The type to leave a trace wherever she goes...her elusive ways keeps the world on it’s toes. •

This poetic card is another new experimental style for the Deck - I am always seeking to evolve and expand my versatility. As many of you know, predicting my next card will always be a mystery and that is exactly what keeps me inspired. | @deckofpoetry 💎♠️ #deckofpoetry

Rebel Card... | Every artist is a rebel one way or another, bending the imagination to create originality. Being a rebel ain't always a bad thing, sometimes it is the best way to explore yourself and create change for the better. Think Socrates, Malcolm X, or the rebellious women who fought for voting rights. Let us rebel when chasing for the greater good. Rebels bring chaos to balance order.

This is the first card in a photography series I will be posting in between new poems on this page. It has been a while in the making and soon the elegant Deck of Poetry Cards will be available for pre-order. DM me if you would be interested in owning a set, and hope you all will get the chance to shuffle through them someday. | 💎♠️ @deckofpoetry #deckofpoetry

Morals... | Human nature has a tendency to judge,

Morals... | Human nature has a tendency to judge, compare and self reflect. We live in a digital world where the lens is amplified on everyone, and we are continuously flowing through this stream of information about others, or how to be and where we fall in this spectrum. The reality is there will always be two sides, two preferences, two opinions, as duality exists throughout life. Never should we fall victim to these inevitabilities at the expense of who we truly are. •
•
Life is finite, and your mission is always to continue to find, polish and evolve who you truly are. Blending in or blending out to fit in will never be fulfilling. When you find yourself, you come to realize your blend is unique and can never be duplicated. Moral of the story is people will always judge so just be yourself, it is the only thing you’ll ever truly own. Keys to life. 🔑 | @deckofpoetry 💎•

P.S. Happy Mother’s Day to all the Queens out there. You all are the foundational pillars of life and continue to juggle so much in life. 👑

Lovetry... | When she plays every card right and leaves you with no choice but to immortalize her with words of stone in the Deck. The power of a writer in love is his/her ability to capture and immortalize it with words. We as humans have an expiry date but our words will live forever. This piece title ‘Lovetry’ is a wordplay twist to Poetry that I created to describe a poet writing about love. (pronounced like poetry) | 💎 @deckofpoetry ♠️

Isolation... | The #corona pandemic really has put our world upside down as we all are globally experiencing the magnitude. This piece in the Deck was inspired by this moment in time, in which I wanted to capture its entirety in a nutshell. Self-isolation has us looking within ourselves as we discover sides we never had to before. It feels as if someone pressed the pause button on the world we are so familiar with and sometimes even take for granted. •
•
On the flip side, Mother Nature is surely healing away from our absence and this is perhaps the silver lining in it all. Humanity is facing the same enemy and being put in a position where global cooperation and harmony are needed now more than ever. This is the perfect time to spend with one-self and family. I believe we should also use this time to pursue something we are passionate about and spark our creativity in any form we please (write, sing, paint, draw, create, design, etc). The intangible value of artists throughout the world really shines during these times, as they are the ones who keep us entertained and inspired. | 💎 @deckofpoetry

Regrets... | The most beautiful thing about our mi

Regrets... | The most beautiful thing about our mind is perspective. The ability to shift perspective can simply change the colour, shape and understanding of our world. I’m sure we all have made mistakes in our life that we suddenly regret as we start backtracking on how things could’ve been different if we did this or that. This cycle is only helpful if the train is taken one way to learn instead of getting stuck going back and forth in our powerless past. •
•
This piece is about finding the silver lining in every mistake, embracing uncomfortable challenges, and changing ones perspective to become empowered. View your mistakes as an opportunity to hunt for valuable treasures (ocean pearls) in the form of lessons. | 💎 @deckofpoetry •
