THE CANOPY OF FOG

 

THE CANOPY OF FOG

Intrigues the enchanting fairy tale,
Transcended beauty green prevail,
Remarkable rain forest, wet Earth,
Luxurious growth perennial worth, (1)

Colorful leaves, flowers, and fruits,
Fertile soil, rock-strewn, visible root,
Monkeys, peacocks, and deer dance,
Mangrove Cuckoo sings, feel once, (2)

Water stream flows, dances nicely,
White foam on pebble looks lovely,
Quiet mountain peak, white cloud,
Inconspicuous the villages shroud, (3)

Between the gorge, the river flows,
Lifeline of human beings, it shows,
The dense forest oxygen of Earth, value
Far from metros, humdrum, a view, (4)

Rule here perpetual silence a song,
Cloudless night sky, starry life long,
Lap of nature, tribal dances, music,
Cluster of cottage picture ecstatic, (5)

November and nearer December,
A Heart throbs, a year remembers,
Eventful life or pleasant memory,
Love and happiness, peace, ivory, (6)

Chilling wing freezing night rules,
A bonfire provides warmth, mule,
Hypnotize the dust bowl evening,
Pervades the mist moisten living, (7)

Under the carpet of smog misery,
Fewer heart laments rarely worry,
The canopy of fog, the dreamland,
Hope and desire, life understands. (viii)

DISPLAYS DIVERSITY

DISPLAYS DIVERSITY

Flowing emotions, surreptitious love,

Heart beats unite, scrupulous, solve,

Limitless imagination, dream surprise,

Tidal waves recede and sock surmise, (1)

 

Precisely, lives mismatch and persist,

Committed to a mission life, resist,

The dream for glamour favor harbor,

Peace, prosperity, and gold together, (2)

 

Selfless service or conjugal life dwell,

Service, worship of God, energy fuel,

Far from romance and romantic nights,

Work is the motto of life, usher in delight, (3)

 

Fame and fortune favor, life is praised,

Unknown, ambitions, sympathy craze,

Silent heart harbors truth and honesty,

Wild life wings of the fire no modesty, (4)

 

A nature lover spends years happily,

A flock of birds, azure sky, life lovely,

Alas, the bond breaks up, family lure,

A sweet home, children grow, allure, (5)

 

East and west heaven and hell stay,

Horizon to horizon, fantasy display,

The birth and death to lose identity,

Short life spider net, thought pretty, (6)

 

Anger, jealousy, and grudge negate,

Bonhomie, amity, trust promulgate,

Choice shows and displays diversity,

The crossroads show direction clarity (7)

 

The chasm of human nature displays

Book of human life contrasts dismays,

Opposite outlook and views intersect,

Reality is like the mirror, an opposite effect. (viii)

HISTORY IS THE WITNESS

 HISTORY IS THE WITNESS

 

Invaders from West Asia, defeated,

Kingdoms bite the dust, repeated,

Manslaughter, loot, cities burning,

A ghastly picture lasted, churning, (1)

 

Devastation ruled the day and grew,

Monarchy oppressively, cruelly views,

Years passed, a civilization was lost,

Demolished temple and lives cost, (2)

 

Colonialists visited, uprooted kings,

The monarch and a hundred sing,

Paid dues or the people at mercy,

They treat as slaves, lack courtesy, (3)

 

Not allowed to make salt, weave,

Wonderful silk cloth banned live,

Ancient temples, ritual practices,

Survived harsh rules, time notices, (4)

 

Invaders under the graves, a past,

Colonies collapsed, rulers left first,

The country gained independence,

Freedom equality visible credence, (5)

 

Secular, socialist republic, perfect,

The constitution, parliament wait,

Elected members rule the nation,

Minority opposition fights elections, (6)

 

Laws of the land, the constitution,

Citizen, the eligible voter, caution,

Serve or bite the dust, or election,

Seven decades after centuries on, (7)

Peace, progress, fraternity, anoint,

Love kindness sacrifice yet cement,

History is the witness, lives develop,

Survives the future dream scopes. (viii)

THE MELLIFLUOUS SYMPHONY

 

THE MELLIFLUOUS SYMPHONY

Listen to the cries opening the heart,

The pleading request has an impact,

Unsettle the peace of mind implores,

The cause and consequence explores (1)

 

The laugh and fun, smiles intoxicate,

Exchanges of gestures communicate,

The songs of passionate lives display,

The romantic verses and tunes sway, (2)

 

The harsh sarcasm taunting hurt, say,

Music to evil ears and sorrowful play,

The bar dancer's pretension is yet a trap,

Wine and woes sink a life, agony lap, (3)

 

The milling crowds and a noisy street,

Perplex humans search mural greet,

The train whistles, the horn of the bus,

Thrills the nerves, heart throbs, rush, (4)

 

The bell of the bullock cowherd rings,

The bell of the temple chimes, swings,

Calm prayer with devotion promotes,

Touched the ethereal corner remote (5)

 

The flock of birds chirping wings flap,

Ecstatic moments, magnetic it wraps,

Festival night dance and song shows,

Happiest moment erase tears, glows, (6)

 

Life is a melodious song, melancholic,

Transformation happens and hypnotic,

Rain-soaked life expresses spring swell,

Summer tortures thirst voices dwell, (7)

 

A paradise, nature displays harmony,

hypnotizes, the mellifluous symphony,

Water steams on rocks, plays music,

Rain drops white music toad terrific. (viii)

COUSIN OF LOVE

 

COUSIN OF LOVE

Love erases animosity, hearts unite,
A foe turns a friend, ends bitter fight,
Cactus blooms red rose with thorns,
Pacify anger, grudge life yet mourn, (1)

Miss the sunrise, sunshine on dew,
Repent, human, relentless astonish,
Realize, colors of love, fragrant, a few,
Forgive and forget the soul abolish, (2)

Amicable, amenable, and ambitious,
Distributes love smiles, precipitous,
Coagulate bonhomie, trust, or belief,
Human virtue exists, ushers relief, (3)

Pittance for mercy self-acquire pity,
Forgiveness and compassion, unity,
Apparent long quarrels, a short life,
Foolishness to follow counter strife, (4)

Trees offer fruits and flowers, show,
Cows provide milk, prize love know,
Surprise, a baffling human behavior,
Baseless notion, selfish and superior, (5)

Value of peace and bliss, try to earn,
Wounded heart, bruised mind yearn,
Anger fire under the ash live, aspire,
Forgiven love, drowse rethink inspire, (6)

Pray the Lord profound gilt, forgive,
Infinite ocean of love grants, survive,
Confess sins or convey rectification,
Resolve with strong determination, (7)

The river flows, shores love forgive,
Parallel runs along life well survive,
Admiration, applause, or adoration,
Cousin of love, forgiveness, emotion. (viii)

THE FALL DECIPHER

 

THE FALL DECIPHER

Cherry blossoms, colorful flowers,

Pleasant sight, happiness showers,

Festival of light, firecracker noise,

A past, yesterday thoughts pose, (1)

 

Romantic feeling nights full moon,

Gentle breeze fragrant the boon,

Spring left, and winter approaches,

Shimmers dry leaves fall in touch, (2)

 

The vibrant color green turns gray,

Path of life is not a bed of roses, way,

Bare branches nest broken show,

Birds migrated far off land, know, (3)

 

Lotus fails to bloom, honey bees,

Sadly, searching the nectar cease,

Pale sunrise morning mist moist,

Invisible, the clean air time is a test (4)

 

Match human happiness vanish,

Chilling wind home waits, cherish,

Harbor anticipation hope prevail,

Autumn, the fall, winter, a sequel, (5)

 

Summer heat and dry leaf burns,

Floating with dust blowing winds,

Shimmer the cycle of seasons run,

Secrecy of nature, woven life find, (6)

 

Thick mango groves cuckoo sing,

Left the fall a flock of birds, wings,

Vibrant life, cool shade under a tree,

Sweep autumn harvest time free, (7)

 

The fall decipher, the secret of life, well,

Fruitful results and hope, easily found,

Symphony of life, sadness surrounds,

The autumn way life resurrects sway. (viii)

IGNORANCE AND THE LIGHT

 

IGNORANCE AND THE LIGHT

 

Full moon the night a million stars,

Silvery light, healing wounds, scars,

Unknown to the mind, unaware of,

Interpreting the glowworms, scoff, (1)

 

Stalk of worthy books, stories, text,

Boring and disgusting stay pretext,

Repudiate the blind mind miracle,

Laugh at the light or fire spectacle, (2)

 

Peace, tranquility, and amity continue,

Provocative thought irritates, view,

Love bitter fight anger life cherish,

The holocaust and cataclysm wish, (3)

 

Death and destruction blind faith,

Cries, wounded, extinguish breath,

Humans celebrate vengeance insist,

The dark aspect of the mind exists, silly, (4)

 

Indoctrinated, no mercy, kindness,

The bloodshed, horror, fear mess,

Fails the religion teaching impact,

A watermark disappears, in fact, (5)

 

Youth is the future of the nation,

Prevent, well, ultimate extinction,

Instill sympathy, compassion, stay,

Transformation will happen play (6)

 

Remove the doubt, suspicion, pity,

Reject hostile attitude, animosity,

Security and safety, amply displayed,

Softened the stony heart, it sways, (7)

 

Discipline, discretion, acceptance,

Ignorance and the light in distance,

The light is clouded, blocking thoughts,

An enlightened soul feels wrought. (viii)
