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)

COLORS OF LIFE

 

COLORS OF LIFE

Sprout life, a flower blooms,
An immanence, beauty loom,
Inches from the ground grow,
A tall tree flower fruits show (1)

Many spectral hues on leaves,
The character of humans believes,
Love, happiness, and kindness,
Sweet fruit fragrance impresses, (2)

A seed germinates, propagates,
A deed, noble, heal, captivate,
Sweet voice whispers laughter,
Attractive to humans after (3)

Rain-soaked winter frost bites
Pale and wet memory despite
Summer dries life thirsty well,
Mango bud or aromatic smell (4)

The playful girl smiles or dances,
Her picture, memory it enhances,
She is a young, discovers a future,
The wife, sister, lastly mother, (5)

A burden of life, forehead lines,
Silent, hidden tear home shines,
Her children, her replicas grow,
The cycle of life, colorful shows, (6)

Love and romance a past touch,
Auburn hair, satisfaction much,
An invaluable thrill, pain, and misery,
Life overcomes troubles, worry, (7)

The solitude, tranquility, heaven,
Colors of life continue unshaken,
Love life, the Lord, others, selfless,
A twin leaves for a tall tree witness. (viii)

GROWS AMBIVALENCE

 

GROWS AMBIVALENCE

Inexhaustible energy fountain,
Green forest rapids, mountain,
Treasure trove's hideous invite,
Tired bones fatigue mind excite,
Nature’s gift human greed class,
Ambivalence looks through glass,
Human recluse n sheds tension,
Resurrect from ruins if mentioned,
Fresh air, clean water, intimate,
Romantic mood dusks dictate,
Effusion of sensations counter,
Devastation project an answer,
Morning mist, lose myself, lame,
Sunshine in brilliance to tame,
Lovelorn walk abandon I move,
Charred trees, fire smoke wove,
Rain in forest rivulets enamor,
Waterfall river swell wind lure,
Tore wounds in my heart heal,
Barren field dirt, mud me kills,
Flees life to summer resort cool,
Cold wind, cool shade, wonderful,
Greenery fresh afternoon excites,
The lake vanishing, saddens light,
Boathouse hideout life unwinds,
Misery, sorrow, agony erase kind,
Pelican flamingos migrate in delight,
Seasons arrive late, I miss a sight,
Spring brings intense pleasure,
Pink, crimson, yellow, and blue colors,
Red, white flower fragrant steal,
Heart misses a late fall reveal kill
Ink canvas of my pattern of life,
Wish nature I recover face strife,
Spreads epidemic lessons worth
Vanishes verdure, barren earth,
Listen to the waves crash loudly,
Blue ocean watch a silent cloud,
Cloud mind bottom ambivalent,
Plastic poison lacks benevolence
Time disappoints me, find cocoon,
Sleep long, wait, Rarth heals soon,
Metamorphose my life, a butterfly,
The pain of caterpillar memory lies,
Moonlit might jasmine blossom,
Butterfly me amuses awesome,
My nature ephemeral pretense,
Nature best grows ambivalence,

LONG LIFE

 

LONG LIFE

A hundred years to live, eyesight,
Humans aspire to dream and delight,
The newborn is crying and inhaling first,
Air comes within cycles, the last (1)

Millions of cycles breathing tell,
The longest life lived mesmerizes well,
Still, a longer name exists, astonishing.
Physical remains, shorter, perish (2)

Child to youth, adult, old age line,
Long life, human wish fit and fine,
The shadow becomes longer and taller,
Mysterious human life yet smaller, (3)

Watching a river flowing, the path is long,
Rain in the mountain, listen to songs,
Finds the flowing water like seas,
Lose its identity merges destinies, (4)

Cycles of the river centuries flow,
Human breathing air merges slowly,
Lose its identity, long life path, well,
Long life of river or human prevail, (5)

Observes mountain peaks lasting,
A thousand years stood forecasting,
Long life has ended, fragmented,
Pours water and cracked, dented (6)

Standing on the beach, golden sand,
Who knows the rocky peaks seen land?
Long life of the mountain to human fit,
Game of the Almighty smile delete, (7)

Two leaves today, a hundred feet tall,
Raised from the ground with soil recall,
Live for a century and confide in humans,
Long life is a belief that vanishes one, (viii)

UNDER AEGIS OF NATURE

 

UNDER AEGIS OF NATURE

Human life amazes, deviates,
Concrete jungle complicated,
A stubborn mind seeks comfort,
The luxury cost of a nature escort,
Amazonia forest breathes life,
Human hunger, woods hike
Read books, newspapers mostly.
Furniture house if trees are lost,
Greenhouse covers the Earth, hot,
Forest fire feed inferno roast,
Wildlife suffers vanish often,
Mankind cries, sad lives moan,
Dry bed rivers, lakes shrink,
And females walk a mile, drink.
Rural areas lack clean water,
Deplete forest livelihood bid,
Soil vomit poison insect lot,
Entire harvest devastated,
Rest, human spoils careless,
The human lung pays the price,
Ever underestimates a mortal,
Cry, human race, to extinction,
Time recall-wise examination,
Need animal land, air, water,
Deprive resource crime mere,
Respect an intellect-wise thinker,
Ever caution rest yet discover,
Regeneration restoration soon,
Under the aegis of nature boon,
Serene verdure invites again,
Soul remorse revives, regains,
Fertile soil, pure water, air, nit,
Fascinated with daydreaming,
Fag of life, love my generation,
Witness a change estimation,
A century-long cycle manifests,
Under the Aegis of Nature resurrect,
Incredible human future bright,
Protecting nature for support.

DILEMMA

 

DILEMMA

The holiday travel experience is thrilling,
Green Hills Tea Garden, fresh feeling,
Gentle slopes narrow the path in the maze,
The silence, quietude, visibly amazes,
Far below a blue stream, a river flows,
Scenic place, Lord's paradise owes,
Proceed on narrow routes, enjoying,
Caught sight of a person yet moving,
Matted hair, auburn, torn clothes, tall,
Heavy baggage behind bearded all,
Refused to talk to us and looked away,
He was silent until evening came forward,
He was smoking at an old monastery,
We overtook him and reached a mystery,
Looked a million stars dark night wish,
Profound peace, silence, tea cup relish,
Nothing is visible far below darkness,
Perception of my existence impresses me,
No more the world exists, I survived,
The nomad I saw earlier, if perceived,
Mischievous thought looked at stars,
Thousands of missiles falling on cities,
Astonished to see a comet-lighted path,
Compared to missile devastate wrath,
In complete darkness, people are dying,
Dilemma, human mind unholy defying,
Death everywhere, why does it happen?
Hatred rules the human heart, tightens,
Felt perspiration, fear, thinking of war near,
Sad human life history fiery massacre,
Cried that night in the hotel room, sadly,
Opened the window, a cold breeze, chilly,
Dawn breaks, bright sunshine, glorious.
Packed my luggage mood, humorous,
The forgotten feeling of the past night looks,
Dilemma trapped not me more crop up,
Down below the airport landscape view,
Intact metropolis, busy life renews,
Dilemma captures at a lonely place probe,
May life solve war and resolve the time.

CURSE

 

CURSE

Suffering from diseases, life met a curse,
Human heart and mind tell worse,
Caste, creed, religion, or region hit,
Cursed a land, people, self-defeat, (1)

Democracy is the rule; the roads decide.
The court, the supreme conflict presides,
Where is the society deprived of its tell?
Cursing their fate, violence prevails, (2)

Unity in diversity is a bigger strength,
Different cultures and faiths exist at length,
Cursed the destiny of the nation to fall,
Crushed the wall of unity times call, (3)

Seven decades, no roof, no road, no food,
Why curse their fate, blinded mood,
Burn hunger in the belly if famished,
Cursed a country's imaginary vanished, (4)

The leader cursed animals, power sought,
Anarchy among the illiterate, evil brought,
Played havoc and venomous speech,
Dilemma, between two horns to reach, (5)

Uprooted coexistence, brotherhood,
A nation is not cursed, misunderstood,
The cursed mind waylaid blindly stays,
Trouble times united people dismay, (6)

Barren lands, dry rivers, parched fields,
Green forest flowing water, corn yield,
The ghost of the curse vanished, peaceful,
Prosper, the people's life is wonderful, (7)

Cursed sickness wounds lives, facing,
Healing is certain in time, well, smiling,
Lord in the heart, less discriminate all,
Cursed human forgets the God recall, (viii)
