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)

OUR HOME

 OUR HOME

Unique our blue planet with life,

Rarest of the rare terrain in strife,

Hot gas mass, molten lava, ice cover,

Less air, high gravity planets rover, (1)

Bright the sun at a center light visit,

Grows life happily, blue sky greets,

The breeze, a gentle cold wind, blows,

Come rain, thunder, lightning shows, (2)

Perennial rain, hailstorm, ice balls,

Relieving thirsty lips, showers call,

Drenched, soaked, full, playful time,

Evening dusk, cloud, cow bell chime, (3)

Temples' festivals, colorful dancing,

Sowing season harvesting is amazing.

Bullock cart mud walls are red in color.

Defeat time, beautiful life honored, (4)

The mountain peaks the forest valley,

Rivers, granaries, bewitchingly tally,

The nature, manifold of cultures lit,

Costume languages, eatery delight, (5)

Stupefied, speechless, Earth is home,

Nameless village to cities is awesome,

The flights, train journey, and highways,

Traveler today human well dismays, (6)

The Arctic Ocean poles mesmerize,

Human deeds pollute well-surprises,

Forest cover to desert rivers dried up,

No rainfall parched land weed fried, (7)

A divisive world vanishes brotherhood,

Life extinctions blue planet brood,

Aware and awake for our home,

Oblivion not distant, less welcome, (viii)

PERENNIAL RAIN

 

PERENNIAL RAIN

Gathering clouds cover the dark,
Horizon invisible fearfully mark,
Parched land parched lips thirst,
Eyes gaze, heart praise life, worst, (1)

Rain, drizzle, or heat diminishes light,
Heart puzzles mind muzzles quit,
Hailstorm, strong wind showers,
Pedestrian on pavement cowers, (2)

Drains are flooded roads because,
Water pools pitfalls, lives reclose,
Broken trees, shaken souls, sights,
Perennial rain in hot summer hits, (3)

Think village women walk a mile,
Keep their pots full to the brim, smile,
Children are busy collecting ice balls,
Forget a heat wave, the rain calls, (4)

Rain is months away, joyful farmer,
It's a busy time to plow the fields sheer,
The dream is only a dream, shows,
Perennial rain in winter is sorrow, (5)

Dashed the hope elopes no grains,
Looking at the fields flooded with rain,
Gone is the annual food hunger hell,
Ice ball hail storm occasion prevail, (6)

How similar to human life, blue sky,
Black clouds perennial, hunt to defy,
Solace to parched lips, thirsty heart,
Loot everything in a few days' impact (7)

Human life opportunity visit saves,
Bumper crops harvested, life waves,
Perennial rain, love, and sadness hit,
Mere human life waits eagerly to greet. (viii)
