CONJURE UP THE SONNET

 

CONJURE UP THE SONNET

Precious life fades prematurely,
Knowledge, skill, and age recapture,
Recapture past troubles tame,
Recapture life takes root in fame,
Recount endless agonies end,
Remember, courage, belief lends,
Reconstruct life in ruins treat,
Resolve discipline hopes greet,
Reconnect past valor fight tough,
Revive glorious present in a huff,
Rotate cycles of sorrow, peace,
Reunite spirits, supreme bliss,
Revise evil nature, anger, greed,
Retains love, compassion to heed, (1)

Relentless humiliation, heart hurt,
Relentless to forgive, forget lust,
Recover crumpled ego humble,
Resound victory of life trample,
Repeat ruthless, cruel crumble,
Redress pride, desires rumble,
Restart, sprinkle calmness swell,
Redraw tranquil mind cares a nail,
Remit past sin suffer and awaken,
Revisit paradise on earth, detain.
Return to abode, conquer hornet,
Rewrite life conjure up a sonnet,
Reinstate the indomitable spirit call,
Rejoice in a secure life, inspires the soul, (2)

Replay the sonata of progress power,
Replicate divine grace, trust pure,
Readmit hidden treasure within,
Recollect conscience intellect win,
Research realm of illusion remold
Rediscover truth eternally, and behold,
Realign orderly life truth to pervade,
Resurrect soul realizes light invades,
Recoil, deeds are stored in memory.
Rekindle light within the memory roll,
Remind a sojourn birth-death toll,
Revisit world satiate hunger recall,
Realize hunger fire desire, fuel mix,
Retreat from evil nature wisdom fix, (3)

Ravages my life, savage instinct,
Rotates bitter battle wins distinct,
Revert moral character succeeds,
Reassess ignorance slowly recedes,
Reenter the opulence of virtue strong,
Rebound, detach prejudice, wrong
Redirect messages sufferers heal,
Rejuvenate human believers kneel,
Remorse pain illness scares amiss,
Reveal a new period, my dream wish,
Conjure up the sonnet, life in tears melt (4)

REPENTANCE

 

REPENTANCE

The mind, wild, shields calmness, wins,
Between the horns of a dilemma means,
Bitterest a thirsty heart, worst action,
Envy rules overpower the result reaction, (1)

An outspoken loose tongue hurts a friend,
Self-ego, arrogance, enter lies defend,
Laugh at them running away, surprised,
Haughty life, jealous mind often prized, (2)

Never could he remember, all humiliated,
Saw their tears yet silently assimilated,
Green eyes grin the face of a vicious soul,
A belief, suppressing others, his life, a goal (3)

Cactus with attractive flowers and thorns,
Fragrant red rose and thorn lives mourn,
Pretensions in the guise of venomous thought,
Existence is the truth act wrought effort, (4)

Falling sick of such life escapades derails,
Relatives, friends, enemies, fail to quell,
Palash tree, orange flames, flowerings tell,
Fruitless the tree signifies reasons dwell, (5)

No contribution to any lack of compassion,
A life standing alone proudly, an impression,
Forgotten from the world, discarded hell,
Look away and despise a life devilish well, (6)

Perennial force is time stealing the strength,
Shriveled the skin's shrunken eyes, breath,
Breathlessness awakens the soul to solve,
Time had passed a lifetime, action resolved, (7)

Life is segregated, separated, and condemned,
Solitude, a melancholic state, time threatened,
Last hour sweeps realization begs penance,
No relevance, a candlelight lost repentance. (viii)

ETERNAL ABODE

 

ETERNAL ABODE

In age, see the beacon of thought,
Who am I, in one time what I sought,
Wherefrom I came and if I had a home,
The home is where I built it as my own, (1)


Loved here in life and saw dreams,
Beautiful looks the home I enjoy,
I spent and built block by block,
All I bought here felt like all my luck, (2)


I witnessed one house and a decent,
He worked, the kids for study, he sent,
He lives in the home, all alone, well,
He left for good. I saw a point, felt (3)


My life passed as the home I built,
Where he has gone, and he quit,
Day in and day out, I start thinking,
Why at all did I come here like him? (4)


My love, ego, joy, and vanished,
Family all love care no more wished,
The bondage unshackled, to leave,
I shall return as a dream home, believe (5)


Darkness and sight merge in total,
Whisper, I heard, you are not mortal,
You stay, and the body is the temple,
Illusive this world and a fact so simple, (6)

Dual, the birth, and the death do come,
The home you built, no more, you own,
Came with empty hands, return empty,
The home of your eternal non-dual beauty, (7)


No name, no shape, you are unknown,
I was thinking in my mind, a world to disown,
You are consciousness and rest absurd,
Perplexed in the pursuit of eternal abode? (viii)

SURRENDER

 

SURRENDER

Swarm the bees with similar thoughts,
Penetrate into mind, fail all effort,
Stay and churn buzz wakeful time,
Fragile strength capitulated a line, (1)

Impenetrable conscience saddened,
Impregnable mind breed is laden,
Bee is the greed that breeds as a seed,
Enslaves mind and heart, indeed, (2)

No escape from torture tension,
Worries vary, scary nights, vision,
Anger, the hunger, burns a furnace,
Envy, jealousy, and life are a disgrace (3)

Look at the tall tree, its trunk is trunk.
Centuries passed by, worms sank,
Solid wood is now porous, which fails.
Worms made a honeycomb trail (4)

The human mind is affected by a worm,
Sick and feverish, limbs get deformed,
An illusory phenomenon is attractive,
Ignorance, a blind mind is selective, (5)

Bee collects honey and sits on flowers,
Flies carry darts, a disease that empowers,
The worm is a fast-breeding species,
Encrypted into thought intricacies, (6)

Purity, intuitive, and instinctive tell,
Shielding the thoughts, the mind swells,
Quell buzzing, and the noises disappear.
Peace and a blissful life are visible here. (7)

The Lord resides in his abode in the heart,
Silently guides, listens, a positive impact.
Happiness, pleasure, calmly plunder,
No worm, no bee if a mind surrenders, (viii)

WHY SHOULD YOU CRY

 

WHY SHOULD YOU CRY

Summer visits mango buds, fragrant,
Ripen in time, streak of color instant,
Sweet, saucy, and brightly yellowish,
Rain arrives, leaves wet fruits vanish, (1)

How similar human destiny matures,
Inner awakening, purit,y fate, suture,
Season changes, reason changes fail,
Noble deed forgotten repudiate wail, (2)

Winter time leaves dried, tearful fall,
A desperate heart seeks material recall,
Shriveled, physically fruitless to exist,
Consolidate and complete job resists (3)

A hundred years of a tree with fruit to bud,
Uprooted by winds, storm life accord,
Human miseries, agony unspoken, hit,
Conscience discipline ushers delight, (4)

Happens cloudburst floods and havoc.
The ravages of nature behold the sock,
Nothing is permanent, cloud worrisome,
Blue sky, white cloud picture welcome, (5)

Cuckoo sings in the night, mesmerizing,
Spring is the past in winter, all missing,
Oh, human, today you sing youth in wing,
Sorrows at sicknesses despicably bring, (6)

Wait, patiently wait, wet earth aroma,
Twin leaves sprout from the soil, lo dogma,
Preserve for happy days, smiles return,
Impatience, anger, cursing oneself to burn, (7)

Observe morning glisten dew yet short,
Sunlight streaks in its diamond-shaped lot,
Seconds after vanishes the dew if defy,
Move cycle a life, why should you cry? (viii)

ADMIRABLE THE BUILDER

 

ADMIRABLE THE BUILDER

The dawn breaks cruel summer,
Blistering heat, the Sun's torture,
Empty roads, life confined well,
The brick kiln, mortar, pain nail, (1)

A turban, bare feet, and chest, life,
Facing countless obstacles, strife,
A loaf of bread, rice water, fries,
Onion and salt under a tree tries, (2)

Satiated the hunger with petty income,
Mud cottage, thatched roof, home,
A straw mat, windowless, no fans,
Wooden kitchen, earthen pot one, (3)

Cities, the picture changed, shanty,
Dirt road, shabby dress, kid plenty,
The boundary of hunger diseases,
The dawn breaks, happiness misses, (4)

The high-rise tower highway bridge,
The laborer's hard toil urban tease,
They boast park hospitals, pleasure,
They know a trip to nature, leisure, (5)

Health, wealth, and romantic life grow,
Some humans serve, not show,
The wall partition raises a question,
For whom freedom, liberty, treason, (6)

Salute to the builder of the nation,
Salute to peasants, a lot of emotion,
They feed, a bountiful harvest, usher,
Spine of our land strengths assure, (7)

No honor, award, gold, or jewelry,
Love you, the builder laborer, silvery,
Love men and women and be selfless,
Love the farmers, granary impresses. (viii)

THE LIGHT ON LIFE

 

THE LIGHT ON LIFE

Sunrise. orange hues spread, glow,
Life on Earth, energetic, vigor, show
Chirpings of chicks, birds are noisy,
Wake up from deep slumber, cozy, (1)

Sprouting rosy desires and dreams,
Hope and aspiration flow, a stream,
Pouring happiness, pleasant feeling,
An azure sky cloud worth watching, (2)

A rabbit on a green grass field jumps,
Deer run like light, fright prompts,
Swarm of fish in the river, boatman,
Who plays a flute? invisible human, (3)

The mirth, colorful butterfly, bees,
Hovers around a flower in the series,
Children play in the park or giggle,
Parents greet each other, mingle, (4)

It is office time, a bus horn leaves,
The busiest life a human believes,
Myriad of passions, assets, a home,
Manifold wishes the future come, (5)

Love humans to travel and nature,
Relieved from the burdens, allure,
The hill stations, tea gardens, slope,
Solitude tiny cottage prefer scope, (6)

Turn the beautiful page to all war,
Drained life source and death scar,
Ruined livelihood lost life specters,
Imposes a bleak future encounters (7)

Sunset, spread the darkness quietly,
The night covers thought disquiet,
The light on life, twin-leaves, a tree,
Peace and prosperity, love, decree. (viii)
