Though his hair is gray, his eyes still gleam,
With dreams of yesterday, and paths unseen.
His hands may tremble, but his heart holds tight,
To the love, the laughter, the endless light.
He danced with time but never let it win,
For every moment lived was life within.
No regrets, no fears, just endless song,
In the heart of a man who's still young all along.
He’s seen the sun rise, seen it set low,
But his spirit? It never lets go.
Of the joy in each breath, the hope in each day,
The wisdom that comes from love on display.
"Regrets?" he smiles, with eyes so bright,
"No use looking back in the dark of night."
"I’ve lived every day with a heart full of grace,
"No race to the end, just a slow, steady pace."
For age is a number, but youth is a choice,
In the laughter, the kindness, the strength of his voice.
He’s old in years, but forever a boy,
Still young at heart, still full of joy.

"Enchanted Hearts: A Tale of Love, Destiny, and Royal Intrigue" Once upon a time, in a land steeped in wisdom and adorned with majestic palaces, there existed a man named Subramanyam. His fame spread far and wide, not as a king or a warrior, but as a sage, a repository of knowledge, and a mentor beyond compare. His reputation wasn't just local folklore; it was a tale woven into the very fabric of the kingdom's history. Little did he imagine that the threads of his own destiny would intertwine with the royalty he served, birthing a saga that would echo through generations.

The Devil's Cut
“Comrade, finally you’re awake.” The voice was smooth, sensual. A flickering incandescent bar was all that lit the white, sterile room. All Vladimir remembered was everything going black. He tried to move his arms and found them strapped to the gurney.
