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)

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.
