MISSING YOU FOR YEARS

 

MISSING YOU FOR YEARS

Memories of the childhood hunts,
Ripe golden paddy field yet taunts,
Run among waves, standing crops,
Scent of burning straw time elopes, (1)

Sugarcane fields play hide & seek,
Cherish juicy stems in the shade, pick,
Remember a tea shop atop the hill,
Cycling down a road at speed, we feel, (2)

A kayak among mango grove rows,
We stole ripe mangoes from a tree, low,
The gardener ran after us we escaped.
Sat under a tree, observed the landscape, (3)

Swam in the river, both playful and tired,
Threw a stone into a pond we admired,
Collect a lotus offer to a temple priest,
Eventful lives etched, writes the list, (4)

Fate and destiny are different, friend.
You left for college, and I cultivate trends,
Deciding on overseas life, you had chosen,
Attachments in the heart do not loosen (5)

Search behind the school in the fields,
Floating your loud calls imagery yields,
How soon our lives passed, never knew,
Dreams even today arrive hopes anew, (6)

Lonely in the fields, the river, a pond, sad,
Separation from each other links inward,
The village school master still remembers,
Hens calls in the morning today, I surrender, (7)

The bond and love ever search eagerly,
At sunrise, check the arrival time early.
Confess and confide to you, feel tears,
At the bus stop, missing you for years, (viii)

EMANCIPATION EMPOWER

 

EMANCIPATION EMPOWER

Obeisance, the human spirit prefers,
Selfless serve lifelong all incur,
Compassion, love, care, intimate,
Brick of civil society n replicate, (1)

Flutter the flag of valor and courage,
Prime inspiration woman craze
Human glory, citadels crumble,
Equal free female men crumple, (2)

Education character she, teach,
Mother, wife, sister, daughter, each,
Innocence, decency, humility lit,
Feminine presence, home sweet (3)

Endurance and tolerance saturate,
A mighty nation woman, correct,
Amazes society feels inferior,
Dungeon of veil her spirit suffer, (4)

Confines the free dove within a home,
Ego let blind faith in gruesome,
Neglect education, health, and myopia,
Prefer son languish, daughter, irk, (5)

Adolescent girls face more,
Child marriage in practice and lore,
Fate ruins young life tags, a widow,
Husband's demise opens the window (6)

Bride burns society is shameless,
Conscience and heart are mute, depressed,
A job for women denies the men’s world,
Male supremacy tormentor inward, (7i)

Peace, progress, bright future, hope,
Emancipation empowers her and evolves.
Alter an age view metamorphose,
Dogmas delve, bios preposterous (viii)

BETTER HALF

 

BETTER HALF

Generation after generation, trust diminishes,
Growing rivalry, selfishness, and bitterness,
How many broken homes,
Are separations and betrayals visible?

Still, couples in romance seem less sensible!
Both are working with secret salaries.
Expenditure is a matter of whim,
One fell sick, another eloped,
Helpless is a husband or wife,
Problems scarcely develop,
Remarried, forgetting the past romance,
Children's fate and future remain uncertain
This is the study where the course is missing.
Between the lines, the topic promises.
Top executive careers foster a luxurious lifestyle.
Decades ago,
Husbands and wives lived different lifestyles,
Old age visits, his wife by his side with a spoon,
Medicine and water—it's the Lord's boon,
The wife stumbles; her husband picks her up quickly.
Money is a small saving shared willingly,
The husband urinates and vomits,
His wife cleans without hesitation,
The abiding faith and trust in the heart are resilient
Live till the last breath,
Octogenarians question what wealth is.
It is not the mercy of the Lord or his grace,
Better half at the side, diminishing access!

BENEFACTOR

 

BENEFACTOR

Dark night rain, cats and dogs,
The downpour flooded the water frogs,
An empty street hunting sight is sad,
Lonely soul on a bench, life mad,
I was astonished, all forgotten him,
Death avoids touching the lay whim,
Lost his family fortune, friends,
Succumbed situation defends,
Yet everything is lost, life exists,
The nightmarish horror resists,
Lifted and taken forcibly to the hospital,
Survive, build subsequent capital,
Turned businessman, fate actor,
Fail to know how to be a benefactor,
The event was not an exceptional trial,
Saving unfortunate lives, quell,
Human lives see loss suddenly,
Absurd, the realm changes, sadly,
The healing hand is unforeseen,
Provide strength to survive clean,
Examined the human aspect of play,
Lord decides on His game display.
Break and make to build to ruin,
Benefactor Lord acts in between
A wise spirit learns to donate; however,
Erase Hunger provides shelter,
The mere act of service gives peace,
Benefactor, the Lord lays justice
Feed a cow, watch happiness,
Wagging its tail, a dog was impressed,
Feed birds on the roof in summer,
Plant trees exist for nature
Conserve water, provide service,
Innumerable examples of justice,
Seen orchards, roadside trees,
Free hospitals monastery lies,
Pilgrims helped provide goods,
Adverse weather, human escort,
Donation of blood is voluntary,
Benefactors know their duty to worry
Angels, sage Lord's children,
To help others awaken their life,
Benefactor actions are remorseless,
Humanity safeguards impresses.

LUMINARY

 

LUMINARY

Awestruck, the soul cries encounter,
Heartbreaking sorrow lives with sufferers,
Understand human issues, analyze,
Dedicates a precious life to precision
Vision miraculous to eradicate pain,
Manuscripts get famous lit fountains,
Those who were crying uplifted stay,
Joyous their lives smiling exist, sway,
The books changed their lives, sadly.
Unscrupulous, anonymous, awkwardly,
Far from the milling crowd, metro living,
Ordinary life unknown prefers writing,
The spirit only smiles when witnessed,
Deprived, suffering lives smile, impress,
The person watches and cries in happiness,
His writings influence the progress,
Less asked for an award, reward, or present.
Preferred self preferred works decent,
Nascent is the acute emotion spirit,
Dying lives recover, strengthen right,
O humans, get up and fight life, precious,
Stand up, think strength is miraculous,
Hundreds realized, then thousands,
Now a million acknowledge demands,
Who is he? How come he changed easily?
His books are now famous and sell quickly,
Simply his trick of secrecy for service,
To dedicate life to helping others, price,
Infinite peace, joy, happiness lit,
One day, humans quit, feeling delighted,
Has seen a dying one survive to smile,
Has seen hungry life got food style,
Has seen children attend education,
Has seen society undergo a transformation,
The spirit became famous decades later,
Abode modest visiting place allure,
Sad thing, mysterious the world says,
Search for the person no more, dismay,
Left the world took nothing to ponder,
Masterly writing scripts book wonder,
The soul of the person luminous stayed,
Luminary, the books, poorly displayed,
Illumination, not gold, jewelry, includes
Luminary illuminates the ages pursued.

TEMPORAL

 

TEMPORAL

Splash the liquidity of ambitions wish,
Gold jewelry defeats rivalry relish,
Rise in due course of time superior,
Amass wealth, property act warrior,
Vanity, humility, and honesty erode sadly,
Replace ego, obstinate, cruelty, madly,
Sequel to the human progress material,
Crumble spirit confidence temporal,
Everything physical in sight vanishes,
Impermanent physical matter misses,
Story written in books, legacy sock,
Rise of civilization, temporal, no joke,
Temptation for power, a woman chief,
Imprison innocents, action of a thief,
The lust-blinded mind lacks vision,
Tragedy, a human story, tears, emotion
Commit a blunder, loath to repent later,
Temporal physical things shatter,
Read books, sad to know realities,
Humans fail to develop timeless capabilities
Scarcely a few discarded attachments,
The world is illusory, impermanent,
The human body perishes, lament,
Sojourn soul not temporal beliefs,
Neither can be burned to ash,
Nor can it be cut into pieces, dismay.
Soil or water can't cover the sojourn,
Human soul life is a temporal mourning,
Short-span human life mission lit,
Divine life defeats material delight,
Truth, love, sympathy, care, persist,
A permanent balanced universe exists
Infinite peace and happiness, pervasive,
Landscape nature is greedy, evasive,
Watch birds flying gaily, disappear,
Sailing cloud and picturesque, whiter,
Valley wears greenery yet paradise,
Rain comes thunder rain, precise,
Tall tree century witness climate,
Temporal features communicate
Change creator's planning relates to
Eternal soul love service dedicated,
Temporal mesmerizes nature short,
Lord's abode within search escort.

SEARCHING FOR THE SOUL MATE

 

SEARCHING FOR THE SOUL MATE

She distanced herself from a flower,
Suspicious eyes, horribly life cower,
Rejected flower, fallen, she vanished,
A speechless young man once wished, (1)

Old letter from her dried petals stay,
Smeared with tears, blurred inks lay,
Clueless passion string snatched tell,
Shyness, silence, aloofness, let prevail, (2)

Years of close companionship rolled by,
Love from the core of the heart molds,
Hand in hand, the evenings, mornings,
Point blank retracted event churning, (3)

The park, a bench under a lamppost, lit,
Unending gossip hour passed, defeat,
Deserted the wooden bench, sorrows,
Relationship dwindled not tomorrow's, (4)

The girl found a bird nesting seriously,
Looking for a partner, hoping for a family,
Chick will chirp, fledgling, then hatching,
Procreation, nature's actions, amazing, (5)

Lion, lions, their cubs are playful, a sight,
Subtle messages of union far delight,
The woman mistakenly realized her actions,
Submerged in sadness, linked emotion (6)

Path least never returned, stay pains,
Burnt letters, roses to ash, what gains,
Cried in her room, repentant hooks,
Windows opened the evening looks, (7)

Her letter is to be forgiven one chance,
Got a phone call, intimacy, if advance,
United both hearts never to alienate,
The past searching for the soul mate, (viii)
