AWESTRUCK ANCHORAGE

Tumults of thought, memory storm,
Departures teenage reminder yearn,
Grow my existence under the shadow,
Limitless love care project window, (1)

Immaculate attention protects most,
Ignorance, wild mind, waylaid trust,
Trust watchful eyes, advice, and respect,
Innumerable troubles save dissect, (2)

Conscious, his presence is disciplined,
Habit increases concentration, trim,
Marvel student life exam result nit,
Excel career higher anchorage write, (3)

Hardworking, kind, considerate, soft,
Inherit all qualities, conscience loft,
Innumerable hardships practice all,
Encounter troubles often, yet enroll (4)

Mental support, brief guidance, well,
Paternal love, care, and goodwill swell,
Face a harsh world, mutinous life rises,
Witness brute mind, savage precise, (5)

Forgets noble heart indwells nature,
Anger, greed, jealousy, cruelty, favor,
Revolt self-paternal guides interfere,
Invisible chain lifelong feel superior, (6)

Affluence, education, affluence, his gifts,
Obedience accrued my love, nil rifts,
A strongest bond is invisible,  cherished,
Giant tree father upon head nourish, (7)

His presence lives in my frame. I adore,
Reminiscences, father, voice enamored.
Anchorage chains-tight storm endured,
Awestruck, Anchorage, lights his picture. (viii)

HONEYBEE HOVERS

 HONEYBEE HOVERS

Lingering happiness, small wings sing,
Symbolizing love, displaying full swing,
Colorful petals are magnetic, attracting well,
Pollen-ridden existence, alluring dwell, (1)

The fragrance's acute scent prevails,
A distant place, a honey bee travels,
Love is an unspoken word transmitted by eyes,
A flower waits eagerly; the bee fails to resist, (2)

Desperately creating a pollination nature,
Procreation is linked to searching for a creature,
Love rebounds with love and existential,
A color spectrum of perfume preference. (3)

It never searches for dirt or acrid smells, flies,
To collect honey, the nectar defies life,
A honeycomb is a storehouse of intimates,
The message to humans dictates meaning (4)

Hover over purity, honesty, and beauty,
Life prefers to accept the Divine quality,
Heart pollinates, mind breeds, and shows,
The seed of noble deeds inspires and glows (5)

An intoxicated mind searches for gems,
As honeybees madly advance and inflame,
Nectar is a magical melody in human life.
Escaping from miseries, worry, or strife. (6)

Let us not become a fly that sits in dirt,
Jealousy, anger, and envy duly impact,
Fever fails to acquire predominant nectar,
Reject, criticize, and condemn are important. (7)

Choose, O human heart, mind, and soul,
A honeybee hovers over your head, a goal,
Become a lotus flower petal to bloom,
Honey is rich, the nectar remains a boon, (viii)

LAP OF LOVE

 

LAP OF LOVE

Looked many a time, father, mother,
Search, plentiful brother and sister,
Lost in wildlife, sleep on soil, nature,
Lush green grass with wildflowers, (1)

Slept on the river or ocean beach,
Failed to pacify the heart bewitched,
Witness birds circling, chirping, say,
Footprints on the sand pebble lay, (2)

Lost my existence footprint, gone,
Painful steps on stones, life learns,
Rest under the cool shade of the tree,
Hesitant mind unsettles and runs free, (3)

Crystal clear blue stream for bath,
Cool's physical heart lost its path,
Sweet home, the bed is warm, worth
Sleep on the soft cotton feel both (4)

Carrying the ghost of worries lay,
Tears of the past present dismay,
Dreams appeared, disappeared,
Unknown love, imaginary feared, (5)

Brokenhearted wanted to gossip,
Confess accumulated love worship,
Intense desire to build the next one,
Where do you stay? Cruel to become (6)

Boundless misery and agony to open,
Sit adjacent to me, listen to life soften,
Untold stories to unspoken words,
Express to your soul, look forward, (7)

Your fragrant scent existence defies,
Hungry to look at your beautiful eyes,
All my struggle nightmares dissolved,
To sleep once, say on the lap of love, (viii)

BOND

 

BOND

Humans depend, survive, and remind;
Situations are critical, help from behind.
A grateful heart closely exists, linked,
Magic, soul-to-soul sharing persists,
Unfortunately, a bond of blood is broken;
Greed, jealousy, ego, anger, and token.
The opposite genetic bond is stronger,
Generations ago, we no longer shared.
A family with a dozen siblings grew;
Hundreds of related love bonds, knew.
Modern-age families split up couples,
Husband and wife face trouble.
Age plays mischief with ambition’s way.
Gain and loss balance, as the bond says.
Bonds within society integrate tightly,
Upheaval and calamity bond in sight,
The flood, fire, cyclone, and drought,
Humans face bonds erased by frost.
Doubt and disfavor, aloofness misses;
Pouring help, selfless good wishes.
Bond displays an indivisible atom;
Country, citizen, cohesive, visible.
Surprised human soul and body,
The supreme bond, a subtle study.
Links the heart to organs and the mind;
The mind knows the bond, so kind.
Live on this elusive earth, stay human,
The air, water, sky, soil, and bond can.
All are spun, neatly created; animation,
The bond of the soul with the Lord's notion.
Surrendered, sheltered, conceived;
Bond with the Lord, practice perceived.

A STEP TO THE SKY

 

A STEP TO THE SKY

Hovers rain clouds, thunderstorms,
Lightning, blazing missiles norms,
Like weather, as humans change,
Devastation elimination to carnage, (1)

Approach the twenty-first century,
Science to technology brings injury,
Artificial intelligence machination,
Know no love, kindness, compassion, (2)

Civilization rose to the zenith, ruined,
Bitter fight aggression alas entwined,
Continue still in this age blind action,
Black smoke fires picture devastation, (3)

Most of the species vanish quickly,
Polluted oceanic deep water rightly,
Fresh air, cool wind, and dust-free, negate,
Fumes of traffic, concrete road state, (4)

Look at a green garden and a creeper,
Beautiful flowers fragrant with color,
Permeate peace and bliss profusely,
Blue sky, pigeons fly, think seriously, (5)

Not visible crowded markets and malls?
Between countries stands a great wall.
Majestic mountain, please visit, dear.
Captivating meadows, forest verdure, (6)

White cranes and flamingoes fly in a flock,
White clouds congratulate feel sock,
Listen, whistling wind, limbs moisten,
Far below the blue waters of a river run, (7)

High in the sky, an aeroplane travels,
Distant journey unfolds dreams well,
The sparrow, near extinction, appears,
Surprised, a step to the sky is nearer! (viii)

SPRING AFTER YOU LEFT

 

SPRING AFTER YOU LEFT

Pregnant Mother Earth delivered,
Exploding flowers fragrant, say allured,
Stayed acute scent spread link longing,
Physically, the heart, limb, soul, belonging, (1)

Magical mirages, musical nights, listen,
Mango grooves Cuckoo sings pristine,
The meadows, lingering shadows tear,
Felt losing another day whisper here, (2)

A gentle cold breeze shivered the spine,
Green till the horizon wildflowers shine,
Blue sky, lazy white clouds floating,
Intoxicated honey bees searching (3)

Indescribable peace and bliss, visible,
Hilarious moments, conjugate simple,
Bedecked with flower plants, parks,
Couples, children play the instinct mark, (4)

No more cold wind, winter night hail,
Cattle grazing, basking serenely well,
Blue stream and foamy water at the rock,
No more the oasis in sight, life in sock, (5)

The desert, blistering hot sunshine,
Summer entered and announced a time,
Dies, blossoms fallen, petals shed tears,
Dust storms raise hoods, sadly appear, (6)

Human life, how similar spring vanishes,
Bitter fight, death, innocents perish,
Animosity summer resembles cruel,
When will humanity realize that fuel? (7)

Wait desperately, Earth is present,
No more war destruction to resent,
Heartrending pictures flashing, bereft,
Tearfully waiting, spring after you left. (viii)

QUEST FOR HERALD

 

QUEST FOR HERALD

The bitterest is a struggle people seek

A white dove, peace, hope leak,

Amazes the world to proclaim,

Friendship fraternity we gain, (1)

Mutual trust respects a nation,

Sovereign land ties admiration,

Build bridges of trust in culture,

Assimilate gradual mix future, (2)

One sky, same worlds-of-nation,

One rain cloud in rivers swollen,

Ocean unites, and continents sail,

Treasure trove ocean floor hail, (3)

Mineral oil and seafood all regain,

One Earth, nature cares to remain,

Human greed pollutes the Earth,

Ruins soil, pollutes seas and air worth, (4)

Herald for future survival claim,

Conserve water, build a forest aim,

Cleans the ocean of all oil leaks, plastic,

Coastal belt green, marine exotic, (5)

Education, research, and skills are equal.

Women, their equality empowers in total,

Disappears race, clan, caste, creed,

Wish future gen, heralds indeed, (6)

,

Humanity forsakes nuclear arms,

Fraternity forces the nation to disarm,

Freedom, democracy, free travel,

World communicates, unravels, (7)

A white dove, peace musk prosper,

Quest for herald a future whisper,

Simple, a microbe taught a lesson,

Unite to survive or hymn oblivion. (viii)
