A MORSEL OF FOOD

 

A MORSEL OF FOOD

Palatial mansion gold reserved,
Gadget, furniture all preserved,
Domestic servant, maids serve,
Thirst for popularity, heart love, (1)

Life walks on wealth and prosperity,
The body rejects food assiduity,
Tasty food or a variety of dishes,
Health does not permit misses (2)

Satisfaction pseudo impression,
Survival is a critical factor, a reason.
Fame and fortune exist in hunger,
Erroneous attempts, show anger, (3)

Fresh air, clean water, or nature,
Surprise, life disappears pleasure,
Life searches for food desperately,
Sleep and comfort follow lovely, (4)

Witness the elusive world envy,
Sumptuous meals feast in a privy,
Outside the barricade disparity,
A pair of eyes hunger for charity, (5)

A philanthropist distributes food,
A survival with water life brood,
Opportunities rarely happen, feel,
Denial of rightful life yet reveals, (6)

Observed orphans, octogenarians,
Rejected by society, a cruel man,
Orphanage or the shelter home,
Provision of food survives some (7)

Fertilizer, water, and light, a seed,
Foods for the tree grow indeed,
A morsel of food for life, human,
Survives, grows strength, he can. (viii)

SUNRISE AND THE FUTURE

 

SUNRISE AND THE FUTURE

Orange hues lighted the peak hypnotic,

Tiny kids and teens disbelieve, ecstatic,

Mesmerizes the sunrise and tomorrow,

Erases ghosts of the past, hidden sorrow, (1)

Glisten expectant eyes, unknown dwell,

Scintillating silence, the wind shimmers,

New Year on the anvil wishes whispers, (2)

Unseen poverty misery, life is peaceful,

Far from burning anger, life devastated,

Innocence rule tender heart decorated, (3)

Rainbow of teenage happiness surprise,

Enchant streak of sunrays, spray, allure,

Far below, hazy the horizon encounters, (4)

 

Unknown kingdom, the paradise unfold,

Surreal feelings, views, intoxicates, mold,

An hour as if, apparently, a second rings,

Labyrinth of delicate tissues thrills, sings, (5)

 

Time is the river, flows slowly, year ends,

Sorrows and happiness, yet shores bend,

A child's life is a test of uncertainty, challenge,

Success and failure entwine, kids change, (6)

 

Ignorant of romantic heart or throb stay,

A fragrant lotus in the pond, and display,

Soft eyes, beautiful eyes, or a sweet voice,

Jubilant to watch the sunrise, he rejoices, (7)

 

Far from the mundane world, noise, hazy,

Pinkish, their chicks lure sweet face, rosy,

Watch, sunrise, and the future of a teen,

Fascinate the new world love in between (viii)

FLOWERS AND PROFUSION

 

FLOWERS AND PROFUSION

 

Almond and cherry blossoms, colors,

Colorful tree hypnotizes time, enamor,

The fall, Autumn phenomenon shows,

Passage of a year, a chapter of life known, (1)

 

Bridal dress of nature, mesmerizing,

The nesting season, nightingale sings,

The symphony of the season vibrates,

Whisper of night silence promulgate, (2)

 

Strewn happiness and love, a picture,

Color spectrums and hues encounter,

Synergy with human emotion, beliefs,

Winter advances confines life, relief, (3)

 

Fissiparous illusion visions disappear,

Bare branches lament tearfully wear,

Exemplifies human life, youth prevail,

Dreams of a cedar green sweet smell, (4)

 

Transformation transpires a purpose,

Chary blossom loses colors, a prose,

The smiles and laughter, reminiscent,

The morning mist fog, flow transient, (5)

 

Pensive, painfully observe the fall tell,

Fallen petals pale causeway a sequel,

Mirror human dreams unfulfilled, say,

Tomorrow provides an opportunity, stay (6)

 

Prolific blossoming happiness excites,

Autumn inspires hope, desires, and fight,

The sight of disappointment is a flavor,

Paradoxical human life plant picture, (7)

 

Instinctively, the human mind resurrects,

 Flowers and profusion nature duet,

A speck of fallen petal induces swell,

Life is not a black hole; the future dwells. (viii)

TIMELESS TRADITIONS

 

TIMELESS TRADITIONS

Ephemeral life beliefs thrive, defy,

Customs and many practices diversify,

Stay human faith for a millennium,

Unfold the ageless story, die minimum, (1)

 

Kings and queens, invaders, tragedy,

The saint and monks pray, melody,

Cremation and oblations to spirits,

Staircases of the ghat, picture lists, (2)

 

Orange glow, the sunset, is ecstatic,

Flock of birds, boatmen, life hypnotic,

Ringing of bells from a temple hymn,

Different realm magnetic, or rhythm, (3)

 

Speechless, observe the sight sways,

The Ganges flows slowly; it displays,

Flows emotion, healing the malady,

Moisten and gentle breeze, parody, (4)

 

Silent and sober moment captivates,

The legends survived well, intimate,

Crowded boats, the riverbank, dwell.

Ethereal feelings, imaginary prevails, (5)

 

Creeping thoughts civilization exists,

Primordial views worship evil resists,

Evil, self-doubt, suspicion overpower,

Pretentious mind illusory and cower, (6)

 

The dogma and discrimination fight,

The bitter quarrel, society, raises a fright,

The Ganges has seen tumults clean,

Cleanse the ambiguity or peace win, (7)

 

The river of perpetual love bliss flows,

An enlightened heart perceives, knows,

Timeless traditions, faith, and beliefs,

A dip in the cold water is quite a relief. (viii)

WINGS OF DESIRE

 WINGS OF DESIRE

Passionate heart, imagines golden,
Emerald islands and coconut trees,
White sand, turquoise water glisten,
The azure sky soaring birds breeze, (1)

Far off from milling crowds, metros,
Distant from human miseries owes
Bright sunshine and surrounding peace,
Absent the noise dust humans wish, (2)

No chain of fear, worries, and agony,
The nature and human life, harmony,
Forgotten responsibility and burden,
Scarcely terrify nightmare, cauldron, (3)

The blue ocean, corals, marine life,
In the bottom, dark world, life thrives.
Smitten, the sight expands to the horizon,
Unknown ships cruise refuses reason, (4)

Many a dream, aspiration, stay, grow,
Why do humans fight for wealth? show,
Quicksand of temptation traps easily,
Sink hope and love live sorrows sadly, (5)

Unspeakable pain and torture trouble,
Vain ego and arrogance, love smuggle,
Remorseless thoughts quiet and calm,
Healing wounds consolations embalm, (6)

Wanton desires for fame and fortune,
To grab by hook or crook, opportune,
Failure causes a distress disaster nearer,
Nature invites serene life, pacify, allure, (7)

Settled the mind found clues, solitude,
Wings of desire soar high, an attitude,
Paradise is the reality unfolding soon,
Peace, bliss, and pleasure, the boon. (viii)
