THE FIRST LIGHT

 

THE FIRST LIGHT

When the darkness envelopes,
The mind searches for hope,
Wishes to spread wings and fly,
Doubts, suspicions cripple defy, (1)

Lost the glorious day and love,
Disappear the identity resolve,
Procrastination, leisurely sleep,
Misses opportunity soul weep, (2)

Romantic night dreams stolen,
Tension tortures the heart, mourn.
Fear hunt, horror prowl ghost,
A cruel mind plays and catches, (3)

Flooding tears miss dear ones,
The night is lonely, soul frowns,
Solitude and silence lamp post,
Mute and deaf to agonies host, (4)

The fresh and cold wind touches,
A magic wand transforms much,
The calm water of the lake flamed,
The soul watch sight delighted, (5)

A transformation experience,
The azure sky bright life swing,
Disappear gloom and lethargy,
The dawn breaks, pour energy, (6)

Returns happiness and peace,
The hilarious heart sways, wish,
Tomorrow changes and today,
Renewed aspirations, the way, (7)

Stands still to watch the sunrise well,
The first light on the peak hail,
Begins a walk from a milestone,
The secret of human life is to learn. (viii)

PANORAMA

 

PANORAMA

Cold breeze chilling hilltop views,
Mesmeric scene, green fields muse,
Horizon extends corn fields amaze,
Unearthly silence, quietness I haze,
Visited the reserve forest elephant,
Great herd block route grows show,
The green forest habitat, lion, tiger,
Barren hill, lake sanctuary, yet deer,
Gibbon bear, Chital baboon sighted,
Jungle safari dense sound freighted
Rhinos make a living in swampy land.
The land hosts a bird sanctuary ring
Season rotates migration, visible a lot,
Flora and fauna paradise as if escort,
The tree, gardens, gentle slope routes,
Far below the river stream, orchard fruits,
There lie cliffs, a spectacular waterfall,
Visitors, crowd move by foot, regularly,
Lifetime experience unforgettable lit,
The land is memorable, offering delight
Visited the desert, saw camels in line atop,
Silhouette behind setting the sun, envelop,
Surreal life experience attached to love,
Visited Snow Hills skating, move
Boats, flower gardens, summer none,
Snowing, chilling weather, life is known,
Emerald Islands coral fish are colorful,
White sand, blue waters, life is beautiful,
Unbelievable granaries, corn fields,
Festivals scintillating locals yield,
The dress costume ornament exists,
Timeless civilization holds less resistance,
Panorama time destroys permanent,
Never can be visible live or nascent,
Dried lakes, barren lands, bald hills,
Similar to fructification, it sadly reveals
The extinction of the human race is nearer,
Amassing weapons, warhead horror,
Pray the Lord, raised head for protection,
Humans must surrender devotion
Divine grace provides love and peace,
Panorama revives the transform practice,
Not industry black smoke pollution,
Panorama stayed, bringing a revolution.

SACRILEGE

 

SACRILEGE

Time has come, oblivion in sight,
Savage humans grab land, fight,
Plundered minerals and forest,
Barren fields rivers less recover,
Dry river cultivations diminish,
Shortage of water, drink famine,
Milling crowd, a million inhabitants,
Rising city skyscraper remnants,
Thousand miles of metal roads,
Railways connect, speed goads,
Look at the generation weapon,
Unthinkable rapid destruction,
Before the eyes, cities, wiped out,
Humans, civilized, educated, mad,
Build quickly, wipe out no mercy,
Color faith aggressor no courtesy,
Country expanding, annexed sad,
Fight monstrous misery forward,
Noticed human tragedy sorrows,
Peace wiped out, no tomorrows,
Migrants, their plight recognized,
Attempt to throw them out seized,
War clouds hover, hegemony stays,
Every hour innovate, weapon lay,
Humans love and want peace to stay,
Worth watching service help way,
Sympathy, a divine gift in the heart,
Feel tears look at a sick life impact,
Still, earth and time exhibit spirit,
Prophetic healing touch to exhibit,
Transform billion meek get liberty,
Overpowering preaching, a quality,
Liberate a people from bondage,
Prosperity country witnesses craze,
The earth, countries, time, realize,
Changes in war people perish, size,
Change the names of a place or city,
Different people, views, and policies,
The fight continues on earth, land,
Inhuman human sacrilege prime,
Defy the teaching of prophets,
Poison minds of the innocent,
Breed, train, souvenir, battlefield,
Sacrilege to betray the Lord yield,

NADIR

 

NADIR

Mesmerizing scenic lake blue water,
Sailing merrily singing think secure,
Drunken elixir of luxury, plethora lit,
Boat of my life, lake imaginary sight,
Behold reality happening, automatic,
Hard effort aspiration hope ecstatic,
Thought money, the object of life,
Gold is wine, fame, immature,
Waylaid whirlpool drag underneath,
The dark bottom of a lake, scary,
Though snake monsters exist, fear,
Reluctant to drop gold asset allure,
Between the horns of the dilemma,
It happened in my life terrify strife,
Tension worries risk endangering,
Fight tooth and nail for gold effort,
Licked people, for a penny loved,
A royal life, pompous work solved,
I rose higher, unaware of a fact,
Fall is so sudden, less alarm in fact,
Popular, praise, bond, fade quickly,
Find today the bottom of the lake,
Rich to rags hard encountered sad,
Life as a destitute family treated mad,
Evening creeping slowly, depresses,
The bottom of the lake impresses,
Permanent darkness frigid exists,
Ghost of my spirit dream yet resist,
Hope is the virtue I swim to the top,
Swim over the lake to save, luck,
Escape from the nadir to stability,
Abode of the Lord, heart or merit,
Caught sight of lives amidst nature,
Rock bottom necessity lives enamor,
Serenity, beauty, and freshness,
Leads a bare minimum incredibly,
The peace, happiness, and less visible,
Lacks rich and famous Nadir trouble,
I realized, encountered a nadir,
The object of life is not gold, a fakir,
A balanced life is necessary to exist.
Nadir of my life warned consistency,
Found happiness and contentment,
For the rest of my life, service ended,

PLIGHT

Human life, forced to smile sadly,
Faced troubles, sorrow, on the card,
Tight-lipped, moved ahead in the future,
Even humans feel happy to be secure,
Self-deeds self-guided motive till,
Blind to consequence, fewer heal,
Visit the church, read the Bible, pray well,
For whom we pray, insane dwell,
Watch, a million at the temple oil lamp,
Burn reverent prayer eyes damp,
For whom do humans pray, ignominy,
Not for other life selfish uncanny,
Dedicate, O Lord, my life surrender,
Serve my community race ponder,
Dying like flies, hunger rampages,
Pious outsides, heinous salvages,
How many people are exploited, says
Temple-broken gold looted ways,
Where has the enormous booty,
Humans suffer, are hungry, and pitiful,
Those plundered in the name of God,
Time is right, justice blames God,
He heals provided bountiful corn,
His grace we live to discover a morn,
Disgraced. His infinite love exists,
Divine command practice resists,
Human feelings of abstract emotion,
Love care, sympathy due to devotion,
The calmness, quietude, and peace,
Tranquility like lake water be still,
A clear image of reality message lit,
Mind imitates like a lake delight,
Reads Lord's messages to help well,
The plight of people suffering, hell,
Be flood, cyclone, fire, famine, war,
Plight of humans long lists to scar,
Jesus living in hearts, Lord willing,
Human life is precious, objects defining,
Served a life in trouble ending his way,
Tomorrow may not be here dismay,
Life is short. face the plight Lord helped,
His abode is my heart acts shelved,
The plight saw, cried, prayed, and sad,
Incapable of removing pain, it bends inward.

THE DREAM BOAT

 

THE DREAM BOAT

Sunrise, the ocean, orange hues,
Ashore the soul stands bemuse,
Glorious day, captivates the mind,
Borderless imagination life find, (1)

Challenges the horizon yet hazy,
Lost in thoughts, the heart is busy,
The islands, countries, or nature,
A paradise on Earth visits allure, (2)

Emotionally upbeat spirit desires,
Uncertain future destiny inspires,
Escape from trouble and misery,
Escape from bitter fight, luxury, (3)

Abscond from rivalry or jealousy,
The enemy in guise smiles a proxy,
Sadness and sorrows, the shadow,
Fear of hunger roof no tomorrow, (4)

Remorse, the longing coiled show,
Missing kith and kin deathly blow,
Overpower the ocean of tears, sip,
The boat will carry soon life weep, (5)

The only rope to cross the ocean,
No longer corrode the boat, listen,
Blue waves true happiness touch,
The vast creation, mysteries love, (6)

Bottomless peace and tranquility,
The soul rows the boat, a beauty,
Welcomes the destiny fate drive,
Life at the seaside feels thriving (7)

The lifetime to sail till the sunset,
The dream boat only waits, duet,
Voyages and a journey nameless,
Crimson rays of the east impress. (viii)

DAWN

 DAWN

Wake up from deep slumber, stay.
Keep your eyes closed, yet another day,
Overcome the remorse of an unfulfilled life,
Time has stolen another day, thief,
Dreamed many things, house gold,
Wished to travel places, lives mold,
Wanted children with education,
Established status transformation,
Fulfilling, wanting of beloved hopes,
Endless thoughts, desire develops,
Unmarried, unsuccessful, in gloom,
Keep sleeping, tearful hope blooms,
Another day, the dawn was a surprise,
May I seize opportunities,
Each of my wants a capable life,
Desperation and frustration are thieves
Poison mind heart sinks, perplexes,
Cry for a shoe without leg reflex,
Standing behind no legs leads to life,
For a shoe madness raises a strife,
Dream-cursed life for a wristwatch,
Visited the showroom, costs match.
Failed to purchase, sad discovered,
Armless, a human, famous, revered,
Pricked mind, his life tormented,
Wake up from the bed, he commented,
Checked a shoe or wristwatch fit,
Family home, children's time delight,
Bright sunshine, fresh air inspired,
Right time, dear man, it is required,
Spring has come, blossoms, natural,
Wintertime flowers are less magical,
That deserves a mango tree, a fruit.
Only mango fruit, not an apple, a root,
Wake up at early dawn time, wait,
Fight for your dream, it frustrates
By working to achieve deserving gifts,
Destiny Fate luck beliefs less rift,
Sunsets, night arrives, life cherishes,
Unfulfilled works once a life wish,
Dawn breaks, who knows, chirping,
A soul with freedom wings flying,
Fascinating the world Lord plays,
Each dawn is a new beginning, a way.
