UNFAIRE AND MURKY

 

UNFAIR AND MURKY

Budding childhood and tender age,

The future of the land digital craze,

Funny figure or pseudo game traps,

Addiction to an unmindful life wraps (1)

 

The candle of knowledge and truth,

Vicious mind obscure search worth,

Lies, pretension, and a guise riddle,

The adults prefer the sense needle (2)

 

 

 Sadly, cheating and deception exist.

Muddy water, stinking, sadly persists,

Beneath the floor disaster waits,

A lotus sprouts fragrant, permeates (3)

 

 

Fearful, opaque incident captures,

Humans sink in the dirty mud fears,

Sunlight fails to penetrate, and dark,

Fairness, faithfulness, a heart mark, (4)

 

 

Toad fish and snake the mind know,

Unfair justice, misrule slowly grows,

The mind is a dark pool yet pretending,

Plan for the debacle appears a friend, (5)

 

 

And similar to a night hide perfectly,

Catch hold of the captive tie lightly,

The media gossip columns, cinema,

They divide communities, dilemma, (6)

 

Vicious circle fails to ignore poisons,

Hideous soothing whispers visions,

Wait, dear, the world is not fearful,

Peace and harmony coexist wonderfully, (7)

 

 

Discover a lotus from murky water,

Witness fragrant rose thorn appear,

Unfair and murky human mind play,

Purity, love, and amity, souls display. (viii)

THE WINNER OF THE HEART

 

THE WINNER OF THE HEART

A rogue boiled with anger hurts,

Animosity, jealousy, sadly escort,

Unprovoked violence and a fight,

Humans engage, fail, no respite, (1)

 

The picture of the world is scary,

Astonishing aspects, none sorry,

Behold the inferno, volcanic lava,

Fraught with war deaths, helluva, (2)

 

Flaunt peace, happiness missing,

Tirade of accusation, cry ringing,

Females leave home, family ruin,

Explodes conscience trust twins, (3)

 

The sunrise crimson light induces,

Establish calmness, deduce amity,

Integrate humanity race washed,

Discrimination or caste quashed. (4)

 

Realized coexistence, benefit well,

Diminishes the past horrors swell,

Humans learns to smile and greet,

Flowers blossom thorn is discreet, (5)

 

Fragrance and colors defeat fear,

Cement the hearts smile enamor,

Soft words, soothing voice attract,

Friendliness, confessions impact, (6)

 

Abolished shooting flying pigeons,

Flock of birds in the sky, freedom,

Humans taste liberty, less hunger,

The Earth turns green, less anger, (7)

 

Greatest weapon to conquer life,

A bouquet of roses erases strife,

Winner of the heart, flower invite,

Beaming smile, handshake excites. (viii)

TIDAL URGE

 

TIDAL URGE

Burns the desire under the heart,
An alluring contour gleams in fact,
Creates a tidal wave of emotions,
Dream paint picture imagination, (1)

Glisten eyes, capitulate the mind,
Touch and distanced love unkind,
The lotus waits for the sun eagerly,
Fail to touch a paradox, meagerly, (2)

Bright light of fire, fireflies hover,
Wild, their heart burned pictures,
Madly, honeybees buzz, or pollens,
Colorful petals captivate senses, (3)

The butterflies or beautiful wings,
Attracts the fragrance, soul sings
Passion cements the heart of love,
Silent eyes message doubt solve. (4)

Conjugal life urges to unite closely,
Shed misunderstanding life, lovely,
An undercurrent withstands pains,
A passionate touch heals to regain. (5)

Immature heart and the wild flower,
Loses rationality, raze the wildfires,
Chooses attractive paradise flavors,
progress, misses pain, fear, and tear, (6)

Romantic thrill life fails to express,
Rainbow and butterfly life witness,
The throb imagines a touch heals,
The union of hearts, time reveals, (7)

Left residue of wanton desire find,
Tidal-urge subsided, passion kind,
Lingering love admiration persists,
Strong ties defy separation, resist. (viii)

A PROMISE TO BREAK

 A PROMISE TO BREAK

The class, caste, and creed exist,

Determined to bypass, resists life,

Colors, race, and religion divide,

The tongue taste custom resides, (1)

 

A tragic death, life mourns, hurts,

The next day, an ecstatic dance routine,

Fly away the bitterness, despite.

Cozy comfort luxury gives respite, (2)

 

Console a tormented soul guise,

Betrayal in the mind tells surprise,

Assure profusely, bless, act wisely,

Steals peace happiness precisely, (3)

 

Smile, the mask anger burns hot,

Soothing talk convinces, life rot,

Clarion to save helpless children,

Printed the sacrifices a fountain, (4)

 

Avert eyes from streetkid ignore,

Prosperity, fame, and fortune lure,

Forget humanity service negates,

Polite behavior, gentleness, relate, (5)

 

An unfortunate aspect, absent virtue,

Catch sight of such jackals, a few,

A beautiful artist paints dreams fast,

Discolored quickly, masterly acts, (6)

 

Offer a bright rose, propose to love,

A colorful bubble bursts, dissolves,

Repentance rarely hurts a ruffian,

Such a person breaks trust, a human! (7)

 

Heart cries, breaks the head, pleads,

A promise to break, cunningly lead,

The cheat deceives his own heart, sad,

Time never returns, again; get mad. (viii)

INTROSPECTION

Lingering shadows of the past hunts,
Staggering expectation life confront,
Upheaval and downfall visited, view,
Suffered and revived, existing a few. (1)

Resurrected the deadwood sprouts,
Baffles the miraculous efforts, fruits
Fame and fortune misnomer decide,
Fate and destiny prosperity preside, (2)

Felt acute pain sink in sorrows, sad,
Pleasures, comforts, luxury life, mad,
Disbelieve the paradigm change, life,
Happiness and peace, absent strife, (3)

Passed through testing years remind,
Fortunately, passed rarely, fate unkind
The sweet home family kids, ecstatic,
Fun and gossip, play music, hypnotic, (4)

The home is empty, lonely, silent,
Realize the meaning of life, essence,
Gold that glitters is a metal trap, sadly.
Lost property and gradually feel bad. (5)

Evoked emotions introspection stay,
Path of life image reflection display,
Morning dew reflects sunlight gems,
Disappear quickly, sight overwhelms. (6)

Conjugal life reminds us of the beginning,
Fag end of life, a couple dreaming,
Tidal wave of desire and actuated,
Waves touch their feet, fascinated, (7)

Life meant creative creation divine,
Introspection bears the vision fine,
The tie not a lie exists seven lives,
The past horrors survived, believe. (viii)

LIFE AND LINE

 

LIFE AND LINE

Immensity of courage provocative,

Minuscule enthusiasm, reactive

Tidal waves, the urge surge, spread,

The crescendo at seaside and fade, (1)

 

Horizon, the boundary at a distance,

Memories, the past, pleasure, scar,

Hazy line, unambiguous or remind,

Forgotten incidents, name or kind, (2)

 

A long road rising steeply to a peak,

Down the hill rolls quickly, a trick,

Milestones show turning points,

Borderlines barricades save paint, (3)

 

Miraculously, human life resembles,

The road without fencing crumbles,

The chasm of evil and nobility hints,

The line unmarked savior, instinct, (4)

 

The riverbank shows a shore well,

Flow like breaths, breached, fail,

Barometer forecasts the weather,

Heart rate, temperature, and fever (5)

 

A red line between lies and truth,

Men spare their lives, hide both,

A distinct division between visible,

Passion and detachment, terrible, (6)

 

Life smiles, often cries, miracles,

The knife has a straight edge angle,

The palm has lines or fingertips,

A shadow of human line pricks, (7)

 

Why is the nose straight, erect spine?

Curiosity pervades, life and line,

To bend, surrender, and stand to win,

Hazardous ideas dilemma between. (viii)

SUNRISE SURPRISE

 

SUNRISE SURPRISE

Behind the human, the sun rises,

Unaware, time passes, life wishes,

Destiny, a fiction hard work alter,

Pseudo impression human falter, (1)

 

Life, the cartwheel, the soul drive,

Path is the time human life rolls on,

Determining the axis of the center,

Dream is a spoke that connects better, (2)

 

Courage the circumference roll,

Bullocks, hope, and aspiration all,

Life moves on cartwheels remind,

The part up and down bend find, (3)

 

The beginning is the dawn point,

The sunset ends the jobs, anoint,

Sunrays, imaginations, thoughts,

Warmth, energy, and results (4)

 

In front of the future behind a past,

In between faces obstacles, first,

Find solutions, trouble dissipates,

Experience imprinted associates, (5)

 

Experiences happiness or peace,

Cross the milestones of life, wish,

Discovers colorful flowers, loves,

Acquire prosperity, smiles solve, (6)

 

Captivates antagonist feels stable,

Capitulates envy arrogance able,

Merchandise the human possesses,

Transfer humility and politeness, (7)

 

The transformation is a slow move,

Sunrise surprise suspicion remove,

Guess not the hell but the heaven,

The sun rises behind color seven. (viii)
