RUINS TO RESURRECTION

 RUINS TO RESURRECTION

 

Blasted the rocks and humans wild,

There were waterfalls or brooks filled,

The dense forest and verdant green,

Crystal clear water flowed, streams (1)

 

 

Raw wall of the boulder hills stares,

Gnawed lack consideration or sight,

The breathless choking dust pollutes,

Mining and construction or dispute, (2)

 

 

Lost the precious land tribal protest,

Lost the habitat, animals, forests gone,

Birds' colony moved far away, horror,

Silence and explosion spread terror, (3)

 

 

The wall to fertile lands from deserts,

Disappeared quickly, the future, alert.

No more fresh air, cold winds, or rains,

The dry River lifeless picture blames, (4)

 

 

Ruins of nature for prosperity grow,

Catastrophe or harsh climates show,

Spread illness, health hazard, sorrows,

In fact, humans' crime, no tomorrow, (5)

 

 

How much life gained and forfeited,

The fallacy of sweet dreams, ignited,

The rudderless boat, and it soon sinks,

Rebuild the nature civilization thinks, (6)

 

 

Do or die, extinction is nearer break,

Forestation protects nature, life shakes.

Uprooted trees sprout leaves, seeds,

Plantations, the mass efforts, indeed, (7)

 

 

Butterfly, wild flower, and honey bee,

Announces ruins to resurrection see,

Not a miracle paradise regained, yet,

Sooner, humans ponder before the date. (viii)

UNFOLDED PEACE

 

UNFOLDED PEACE

Tumultuous heart, rebellious mind,
Tortured soul, turbulent life unkind,
Fear-stricken failed to escape sadly,
Own shadow, stood a ghost, madly, (1)

Inconsolable pains, wounded, hurt,
Tolerated all humiliation and effort,
Bias treatments, inhuman attitude,
Beyond her imagination acted rude, (2)

Silent, she drank poison of situations,
Knew her fate, destiny, no solution,
Salute to the courage, bear her life,
Thus continues the story and strife, (3)

Fewer, she spoke, her suffering, hell,
Scarcely does she complain or yell,
Alone in her life, tolerated totally,
She survived, withstood hurt, lovely, (4)

Bruised and battered scar painted,
She was leading her life unwanted,
Casually surprised finding reasons,
Spiraling horrors witness seasons, (5)

She escaped without informing. fled,
It is her stubborn decision, no tirade,
Fled to nature, a solitary life, stays,
Found the paradise happiness play, (6)

The mountain peaks dense forests,
The river grazing field her life tests,
Discovers sunrise, sunset, the birds,
Perpetual silence, song, or inwards, (7)

Forget the scary past, she recovered,
Unfold peace before her eyes, lure,
Blossomed smile twinkles her eyes,
She is an angel, untouched, defies. (viii)

THE SUN AND THE EARTH

 

THE SUN AND THE EARTH

Bright sphere is a million miles away,

The fire bulb radiates light and sway,

Ancient creation in the universe moves,

Nine planets, the family rotates proves (1)

 

Lifeless hot gaseous and icy crust stays,

Circularly rotates around the Sun, says,

The blue planet with water life grows,

Mountains, forests, and the river flows (2)

 

The azure sky clouds sail lazily or rain,

Clouds shroud the Sun, sunlight claims,

Thunderstorm, lightning, snow shower,

Ice-capped peaks and valleys yet allure, (3)

 

Rotates the Earth around the Sun, year,

The attraction and pull of gravity power,

Golden sunrise streak of light or dew,

Sparkles like a gem disappears a view, (4)

 

The moon pours the silvery light, night,

Romantic life captivating hours excite,

Light plays with shadows longer, rotates,

Solstices, stone hedge determines great, (5)

 

Seasons, months, summer, and winter,

The rain and springs, life encounters,

The myth of sensations, romanticism,

The Earth rotates, the day and night (6)

 

Sunlight, air, and water, a seed sprouts,

A myriad of living beings, trees or roots,

Animal life, birds, and marine life need

The Earth is their home, the Sun indeed, (7)

 

Interdependent, unrivaled relationship,

The humans acknowledge or worship,

The source of life sustenance, balance,

Dawns and dusks, realize life enhances. (viii)

LUMINOU THE FUTURE

 

LUMINOUS THE FUTURE

Terrify the darkness and shadows,

War cry, wildfire, burnt meadows,

Holocaust, catastrophe, draughts,

Parched fields fractured wrought, (1)

 

Vanishing green forest rivers, dry,

Bald mountain blasted, crushers,

Spread dust, scenic beauty absent,

Tribal lost their land, and resentful, (2)

 

Or, cropping up high-rise buildings,

Metal roads, wide, crisscross long,

Name, uplifts civilization shielding,

Luxury comfort wealth living song, (3)

 

Horror-filled outgrowth, the jungle,

Predator prowls day or night, mingle,

They stalk walk fugitives play naive,

Mercilessly loot, and harms, blames, (4)

 

Exists a narrow trek ahead straight,

The world leads the new generation,

Glorious opportunity, safe, secure,

Captivates brilliant sunrise, assure, (5)

 

There stays, no loss of life, prospers,

Unknown pain, misery, or tensions,

Effulgence energy vigor life sponsor,

Benevolence inspired help emotion, (6)

 

Not a trace of sorrow, tears, and fear,

The rainbows of happiness shower,

Lotus blooms here, petals significant,

Renaissance of human lives defiant, (7)

 

The night of the mind life fails to find,

The luminous future, the Lord is kind,

Flow fountain of peace and love well,

The nightmarish dreams slowly quell. (viii)

ENDLESS THIRST

 ENDLESS THIRST

Hidden in the innermost chamber,

The heart safe keeps wishes longer,

Life sustaining, but desire crosses,

Grab dry sand as gold again loses (1)

 

Dreary sand bed or blistering heat,

Dream cast pleasure passion greet,

The expanse of lust the heart seeks,

Golden deer vanish attracts pricks, (2)

 

Pigeon cage chest bones imprison,

Yearns for gold, diamond, a reason,

Life flies faster, grows thirst lingers,

Insatiable appetite tempted trigger, (3)

 

Beautiful moonlit night and silvery,

A gentle breeze, life shadowy ivory,

Melancholic song on thirsty hearts,

The symphony of dreams enchants. (4)

 

Create Arabian nights, dawn steals,

Irresistible desires rise, fewer heal,

Give me the mansion property, a lot,

Shower the power status life escort, (5)

 

The quicksand of life drink satisfied,

More life wants, interpret, unjustified,

Fail to explain acute feelings, silent,

Fight to grab more and be resilient in life, (6)

 

Consequence oasis beyond borders,

The vulture of death hunts its records,

Life is not a sad song; mind dominates,

Love is the white dove promulgates, (7)

 

Relinquished, detached life conquers,

Water not luxury satiate yet enamor,

Endless thirst, a short life, a paradox.

Spirit runs perished midway at a loss. (viii)

SORROWS AND SOLACE

 

SORROWS AND SOLACE

Golden river and the lake captivate,
Dazzles, traps the heart timid, quiet,
Underneath the darkness pervades,
The bottom contrasts the glory fade (1)

Lurks fear and terrifies, swirling wave,
Limited scope to escape hand waves,
The rock bottom of life story, scary, exists
Rescuing drowning human life resists (2)

Snow peaks sunrise, an avalanche hit,
The ice cover traps and destiny meet,
Mirage tempts a thirsty soul, quicksand,
Humans lose lives, a few understand, (3)

Amass wealth, an ivory castle, swell,
Fame and fortune, pivotal, turn, dwell,
Lose kith and kin or skipped the event,
Agony accompanies, life suffers, lament, (4)

The pink future cast light and stolen,
The upheaval and downfall frighten,
The branches are leafless, dry twig fall,
Broken nest bird fled, moonless call, (5)

Penchant for fragrances, the flowers,
Hungry to dance in the rain, showers,
Chilling win ice-clad landscape freeze,
Overflowing happiness warmth cease, (6)

Nostalgic, vibrant youth twilight show,
Auburn hair eyeglasses time pass know,
The wheel of time remotely back true,
Impermanence underneath life views, (7)

Came alone to the mysterious world,
Truth to return, linger thirsts, a word,
A utopia bewitched in front of a morass,
Essence prevails sorrows and solace. (viii)

CONFLICT AN CORRELATION

 

CONFLICT AND CORRELATION

Noticed minutely azure sky and sea,
The cliff, mountain, rivers, and trees,
Flocks of birds fly gaily, chirp, noisy,
A baby giggles, eyes glisten and rosy, (1)

Correlations, coexistence, the Earth,
Subtle relationship continues worth,
Flowers blossom, pollinate, and fruit,
The stem, branch, leaves, and roots (2)

Procreation, the seed of nature, exists,
Uprooted trees or hailstorms persist,
Minion of bird's nest chicks fledging,
The nightingale and cuckoos singing, (3)

Thunderstorms, wildfires, terrifying,
Angry rivers swollen flow, horrifying,
Placid water of the lake, lotus blooms,
Gentle breeze creates ripples of delight, (4)

Behold, humans or wonderful amity,
Disbelieve change of hearts, cruelty,
Perpetual peace, happiness, and love,
Heinous animosity overrules, dissolves, (5)

Humans' hearts yet harbor sympathy,
Dries sooner than belief, feel apathy,
Have family, friends, and neighbors,
Leading a lonely life, losing the vigor, (6)

Savage humans, conflicts, fire burns,
Search for peace desperately yearn,
Pleasure, a fiction imagination, learn,
Crumble dream or hope, life mourn, (7)

The sea, Earth, and the sky evolution,
Life's drama, conflict, and correlation,
Balances nature thrive, living beings,
Noise peters out, life melodious sings. (viii)
