SEARCHING FOR A WAY TO LIVE

 

SEARCHING FOR A WAY TO LIVE

Desert sand bed, I sleep under the sky,
A sandstorm is rising, covering eyes,
Laughs at me, a cactus stands quietly,
Bristling thorns, pink flowers lovely, (1)

Defy human heart survival surfaces,
Encounter predatory nature traces,
Knew will be buried under the sand,
Extinction of civilization, understand, (2)

Enjoying sleep in the snow field, well,
An avalanche will be over me, dwell,
No sign of life or trace was found.
Alongside lush green meadows hail, (3)

Immerges fountains, springs, flowers,
Questions to the soul threaten hours,
Nature is beautiful and serene; it stays,
Human actions, reckless, in many ways, (4)

Quietly watch rainy days or flooding,
Swept away, villages sank in brooding,
The quiet river is now angry, furious,
Breaks embankment images, curious, (5)

Slept on a wooden bench on a winter night,
Spine-chilling cold wind, dark eyesight,
Weathers birds on nests, street animals,
Surprise a human life, delicate and small, (6)

Heartbroken, a pretence meaningless,
Boast wisdom, intelligence, yet distress,
There is a way to save life and get pleasure,
Walks now in the mountains treasure, (7)

Realization, not war devastation, grave,
Searching for a way to live, a future to save,
Whisper, fresh breeze, wild grass smiled,
Challenge not the nature, a mind is wild (viii)

SUBSTLE MESSAGE

 SUBTLE MESSAGE

Stars twinkle in the night peacefully,
Full moon with a rabbit shines bright,
Shadows the branches wind plays,
Leaves are a musical symphony, really. (1)

A droplet of rain continuously tears, runs,
The river moves to meet the ocean,
Disobeying mind colludes with the heart,
Desires, scantily fulfilled, soul mourns, (2)

Intoxicated honey bee wild search,
In between petals attract nectar,
Flower to pollen dust, congratulate,
Magnetic moments happiness lurch, (3)

Look from the open window in silence,
Thoughts flow to the brim, visible,
The heart compels us to tell many stories,
Lips are busy drinking tears, sense, (4)

Love intensely reminds many a word,
You failed to understand my eyes,
An ocean of unspoken emotion stays,
Hope someday, I will get a reward, (5)

Countless subtle messages provoke,
The eye's silence transmits touches,
The mind you possess happily feels,

Soul unite with soul lovingly revoke, (6)

Accepts embracing and separation,
Still rebellious search eyes disobey,
The softness, caring, healing touch,
Whispers in the ear emit devotion. (7)

 

Wait, dear, patiently every moment,
Dearly want your presence to return,
Near the open door, a window check,
Match resemblance, walk, feel current, (viii)

Born to love, speak all secrets freely,
Confess and confide incidents,
Endless gossip, subtle message
Verses of soul, eyes, silence essays (9)

ESCAPE FROM THE PAST

 

ESCAPE FROM THE PAST

The heavy burden of family tension stays,
Many a time she searched for a way,
The monthly bill, groceries, and electricity,
House rent, water tax, life, no security, (1)

Meager is the income of the husband, plights
Workload to late-night absence fright,
Children on the school bus return to wait,
Her life, a housewife's complex trait, (2)

Narrow gullies crisscross drain stinks,
Dirty children's playful innocence links,
Shanty houses in rows, an urban picture,
Shiny malls, restaurants, and hotels allure (3)

What a contrast to the middle-class!!
The deprivation of street life, in mass,
A morsel of food, a pang of hunger, ill,
She saw everything when life was to heal? (4)

The noise, dust, smoke, traffic, rush,
Disgusting, she walks with her saree brush,
Suffocate the high-rise building light,
Pavement potholes, rain, flood sight, (5)

Dream of paradise and scenic places,
Look vacantly through the window,
She planned a trip, ticket was canceled.
Frustration, anguish, but hope surfaces (6)

She got her train reservation confirmed,
Packing her baggage, saving life planned,
Mesmerize the sea, beach, and golden sand,
A sunrise, fishermen, well understand, (7)

The sultry, moist wind waves advance,
Chirps seagull, a rare pleasure, enhances,
Escape from the past stood motionless,
Aural Divine glory she missed impress. (viii)

SEQUEL INSTIGATE

 

SEQUEL INSTIGATE

Ignite desire and lose self-control,
Disrupt balance, and life becomes tangled,
Observe intense scrutiny that amazes,
Innocence decays in the gutter, enrages. (1)

The world moves fast, in a bitter battle,
Wise survive, rise, and exploit deception,
Socks symbolize my life, trust, and beliefs.
Benevolent act; the fox steals, planning. (2)

Lack of evidence, culprits escape,
Dark, infamous world, a fleeting luxury,
Act, dream, steal, get rich overnight,
Heart-wrenching fears that break hearts. (3)

Brutal spirits show little mercy, hurt,
Conscience fails, comfort fades, alert,
Disrespect, compassion, sympathy,
Bruises, life, and empathy are missing. (4)

Evade suffering, seek revenge, lit.
Turbulent social fabrics are clear,
Contemplate grievances; reform is best,
A law displays strength, tests its rules. (5)

Reflect deeply; complex writing intrigues,
Solutions prevail, stubbornly debated,
The sequel begins with a ruined home.
Illiteracy, poverty, and ignorance hurt (6)

A broken home separates the orphan, wife,
A dying soul hesitates little; rejects Sigh,
Desperate, wounded tigers roar and hunt,
Lethal snake bites taunt as losers fall. (7)

Education and character take root in a child,
A bond of girls, women, and mothers exists,
Crimes and deception cheat and dissipate,
Focus linked the episode; sequels spark. (viii)

ECSTASY IN A DUET

 

ECASTASY IN A DUET

Vast expanse of water, the horizon,
A sunrise crimson red color emotion,
Hues painted the sky and still water,
Gentle waves, fresh wind, and moisture (1)

Fishermen in boats netting fish well,
Villagers in motorboats, dream trails,
Deep waters of the Chilika islands exist,
Lush green forest covers, birds visit, (2)

Rustic life, simple folk, different stay,
In contrast to urban style life displays,
Silence and darkness are less of a road rule,
Peace and happiness are visible in life, cool, (3)

The Bay of Bengal cyclone is a threat.
Angry waves of the lake fearfully create,
Weary boatmen anchor at an island,
Storm passes soon, calm water stands, (4)

Seagulls, cranes, and flamingoes fly,
Circle the groups move to shore defy.
Intercontinental birds trans-migrate,
From Siberia, Mongolia seasons wait, (5)

A playful dolphin jumps out of the water,
The visitor watches the camera capture,
The mangrove marshland is rich in life,
Marine life, fish, crab, and prawn thrive (6)

Asia's largest salty lagoon is attractive,
A feeding ground for birds, nests thrive,
Chirpings incessantly arouse the soul,
Stood motionless, bewitched, a goal, (7)

Transcend mural of a different paint,
Not willing to quit, overwhelmed, I resent,
Ecstasy in a duet, flamingoes dancing,
A pair draws a perfect song, romancing, (viii)

SECRETLY CONFESS

 SECRETLY CONFESS

 
Romanticism is the wrong word to use,
A beautiful woman on the billboard lies,
Lurking smile, wavy hair, and attire,
Illuminated in the night, hearts in despair, (1)

 An angelic face, unknown, is staring,
Stealing glances, amused, life is singing.
No chance to meet or greet is possible,
Why are our eyes fascinated by trouble? (2)

 Once I watched an attractive figure,
Failed to recognize her allure.
Moving in a long saree, slim body,
Why engrossed in it, studying sadly? (3)

Her perfumes and magnetic demeanor,
On the bus, shocking; I found it pathetic.
Questions: Is it juvenile delinquency?
Have I lost all conscience and decency? (4)

Never infatuated with any woman;
The mind is the culprit nobody can outplay.
Discipline flickers less, silently guided.
Look away from the wild mind that presided. (5)

Countless thoughts, imaginary weavings,
The heart is immersed in the perceived.
Lost peace of mind, a wakeful night,
A dream never fulfilled brings fright. (6)

The day love entered life was astonishing.
All the predators quickly vanished.
She is in the heart, mind, and soul.
Her beautiful presence reveals a goal. (7)

Infinite trust and confidence grow well.
Her eyes are beautiful and glamorous.
Gossip of the past searching for a life,
Secretly confess all; remove strife. (viii)
