PEERLESS PAUCITY

 

An abundance of pleasure and comfort,

Humanity sought, intense, fate avert,

Desire insatiable dreams inflame fuel,

Sensuous mind excites thought cruel, (1)

 

Fascinates spirit in journey to nature,

Pristine a beauty cocoons cool nurture,

Mankind streamlines impatient travel,

Locked down abrupt New Year unravel,

Shadows of sorrow fade new hope alive,

Mind loosens aspiring the heart turns sieve,

Solitude wait times miss luxury enmity,

Pleasure comfort abundance, fire burn,

Insatiate a soul thirsty rapturous lorn,

Everything misses tranquil mind cool,

Erases fear pain peerless paucity rule, (2)

 

True pleasure never offer noise or light,

Mouthwatering lunch dinner or a sight,

Comfort never meant true woolen bed,

Cool home hotel colorful travel thread,

Pleasure comfort luxury love deceives,

The sensuous mind craves, thrill receives,

Spirit is far from true happiness love,

Purity to experience hunger dissolves,

Purity misses in solitaire urban glare,

Solitaire ring of life busy spirit share,

Paucity of understanding feeling pure,

Attached mind work wealth or future,

Tranquil nature add a paucity of desire,

New Year season attract nature’s care, (3)

 

A paucity of bright light, night sky noise,

A paucity of music, night club grandiose,

A paucity of opportunities, business work,

A paucity of tension stress anxiety shark,

A paucity of a rich life, celebrations, gossip,

A paucity of restless time mighty worship,

Paucity of relaxed comfort soft mattress,

A paucity of enticed serves smile waitress,

Plenty of peace, bliss, silence, beautiful,

Plenty of murmur of brook, birds awful,

Plenty of fragrant flowers sway, meadows,

Plenty of calm mind heart sings let owes,

Plenty of new hopes New Year scent time,

Plenty of lustrous frames gleam time prime, (4)

 

O mankind forget a year dread horror,

Sick was mind, sick time corona specter,

The world welcomed last year with desire,

Future will turn surprises life to share,

Tragedy lurk behind fate aspiring sight,

Sweep a pandemic paucity of joy blight, (5)

 

 Inspire human heart awesome brave,

Happy New Year call wilderness wave,

A plentitude of greed ego anger vice miss,

Peerless paucity of hunger desires wish,

A plentitude of silent field hill silhouette,

A paucity of twilight haze paradise scout,

A peerless paucity of sensuous limb ignite,

Peerless paucity time resurrect lo invite! (6)

Walk together in life elegant life partner,

Sweet home in dream sweetest fizzles,

Night fades in dawn life at test sizzles,

Marriage ever a path of roses bit thorn,

Surprises of troubles wish amiss mourn,

Wishes for couple rainbows color gleam,

Trouble failures hopeless, desires slim,

Man bold enough express feeling open,

Woman surpass loving stoic heart won,

Fail to catch her tears, throb underneath,

Smile steals heart deep sorrow beneath,

Universe witness human supreme role,

Rules the realm innovative devise goal,

Never witness human selfish oriented,

The gratitude of human oblation dedicated,

The sacrifice of self, identity, world, family,

Enlighten, prophet surrendered simply,

Passionate for oblation divine life pure,

Detachment to enjoy senses aspiration,

Luxury, comfort, asset nil an inspiration,

PARANOIA PAIN

 

Teenage search friends school nice,

Gossip fun vanishes breaks entice,

Curious silent, few hesitate to mix,

Curt smiles fake fun amid clasp fix,

Sullen, alone, dirty avoids groups,

Surprises many taunt tearful loops,

Scarcely visit temples meet friends,

Rarely finds in functions, look ends,

Amazes heart few brilliant in class,

Teachers never praise; gold in the glass,

Never seek admirations, aloof corner,

Idol festivals in school, miss ever, (1)

 

School life swept cool, college throbs,

Wiser now puzzles classmate few robs,

Comments are sharp, invisible is a wall,

Appearance looks mingle only verbal,

Curious for years persist a question,

Avoids parent, teachers let never listen,

Got a close friend among luck clear,

Paranoia, a fear, a caste base sheer,

Sat we both alone under a tree cool,

Afternoons were tears deep hurtful,

Childhood was his curse segregate,

The community was inborn aggravate,

Saw deprivation of love care often,

Dart roads shanties drain motion,

Poverty hunger lack of everything,

Speechless with my friend, sobbing, (2)

 

That day knew this world of walls,

Differs luxury life or faces squalls,

Innocent smiles were lost, so cruel,

Hart rending paranoia a class sequel,

Witness bright bungalows affluence,

A world exists superb easy influence,

Resembles bright lamp dazzles nice,

Darkness under paranoia persists,

Dark lanes serpentine stark realm,

Ignorance in limelight overwhelms,

Got familiar in time with friend lot,

Deprivation is nightmare fear worst, (3)

 

Generation’s class divides caste pain,

Discriminations vivid impacts claim,

When behold, a temple gate open wide,

Restricts a people on faith door divide,

Knew conception of a faith ignorance,

Views caste-based worship reluctance,

Community caste-based fix marriages,

Impossible inter-caste relation crazes,

Sad a nation, saddest intelligentsia,

Clueless curing paranoia love utopia,

Freedom impresses the heart of a people, (4)

Pens paranoia pain bars; glass simple,

Seven decades of life saw humanity,

Paranoia hunts merciless lacks amity,

Class-based politics, community exist,

Upper-class upper caste, trend persist, (5)

 

Logic pricks conscience simple

Idols of marble granite beautiful,

On soil earthen idol prepare nice,

Dress ornament for an idol in service,

Garlands of flower offer for an idol,

The community serves, bars protocol,

Idol worshipped as divine in the temple,

The door is wide open restricts mingle,

Paranoia pain hunts words trickle. (6)
