AVENGED

 

AVENGED

 

Tumultuous electric moments,

Aware of the arrival of youth swell,

Unforeseen imaginary spider,

Weaves threads of dream allure,

Like a river to the brim swirling,

Mimic stream of thoughts cling, (1)

 

Churlish outspoken heart rebel.

Influenced hardened spirit to dwell,

Work harder you work, time short,

Accomplished caps success, effort,

The immensity of determination focus,

Life hardly got averted, not curious, (2)

 

Spring came, flowers blossomed,

Profusely attractive petals earned,

A gentle breeze swept past limbs,

Tried best to magnetize his heart,

Buzzing swarms off bee joyous,

Spread warmth Sun got mild and sweet,

Played hide and seek with clouds,

Dark clouds turned white monks,

Landscape ornate verdure flowing,

Long grass white furs swayed airy,

Symphony of light and shed pulled, (3)

 

He averted searching eyes toiled,

Long silent night creepers flowery,

Jasmine invited his spirit Feathery,

The fragrant night river got placid,

Turned silvery under full moon vivid,

Far off a boatman playing his flute,

The ethereal motionless air carried,

Tried the best to molted his heart,

Nature failed in that night dews weep,

Star-studded night leaves dazzled,

Cuckoo sang the song if melancholic, 

Bewitchingly attractive seasons failed, (4)

He was burning his midnight lamp,

His youth was precious to grab fame,

Work changes destiny completely,

The world recognizes achievers a lot,

Incredibly popular, his fames, escort,

Luxury comfort gold match wine,

Drink happiness youth felt prime, (5)

 

Money will make a happy family,

Friends to crowd intent smelly,

Yes, a mighty yes reality happens,

Today his place, prestige sharpen,

From hundred miles people owed,

The disbelief, amused honor showed, (6)

 

Time hay stealing life stealthily,

Ripping black hair whitish visible,

Wrinkles cover the face recognized,

Feeble eyesight, hearing trouble,

Walking feels difficult with a long stick,

Breathlessness by walking in a park,

Sadly once the youth he is no more,

Twinkling twilight years time unsure, (7)

 

Sitting on a wooden bench scrutinizing,

Spring visited again decades after,

Astonished, his soul overwhelmed, aura,

Rising crimson sun orange sky lit,

Birds soaring high, chirping gleefully,

Profusely blossoms changed the park,

Spectral hues aflame bright color,

Speechless his young heart no more, (viii)

 

Throbs missing nerves still and numb,

Soul fails to resonate, respond with aplomb,

Seat here for hours, a statue silent trailed,

Avenged the Spring reminded season failed. (9)

RECONCILED

 

RECONCILED

 

Let me escape from prison,

Captured my life dumped locked,

Impossible to escape getting liberty,

Attractive, my home is luxurious,

Provides every conceivable comfort,

My wife and son are realistic,

Quiet, and both move with time, 

Faced unexpected disasters met,

Withered troubles threats stood,

Restless, angry at my fate mood,

Little harmed anyone in life wished,

Caused breaking lives of other fished,

In the dream wished anyone suffer,

On my account ruined cursing me,

Stolen happiness left a river of tears,

Surprised it was beyond conceived,

Prayed for others along with family,

Expected clearly, their comfort and safety,

Life accustomed, friendly, loving,

An inkling of revenge dared to touch,

Not pious passionate to care,

Healing touch assuages hurt,

Why then suffer alone less speak,

Buckles spines experience weak,

Bright the bedroom bed, soft clean,

Feel restless pensive wrecked thin,

Drained marrows fibers loose,

Fickle nerves frighten spirit soon,

Achieved everything life snatched,

Not letting down others by wisdom,

Why now suffer in mind blanked,

Covers a darkness unknown grip,

Frustration from nowhere burns,

Loving family care failing reasons,

Sobbed by now aware of an end,

Contradicts reality less possible,

A confused animal lost its sense tense,

Cried out alone, hot tear pretense,

Found well the fact families knew,

Have children, grandchildren view,

No way a simple matter their link,

Extended their root images click,

Three generations behind existing,

Smiling long mustache well fling,

Exist today, tomorrow, century after,

Won over physical death blood allure,

Looked at me in the mirror and found,

Root after my son lost profound,

Visible his single life, he decided,

Failed plainly to force him, denied,

If not today or after a few years,

Know distinctly my blood fears,

Erased without a trace clarity stare,

Lord has given everything life dare,

Never conceived the fact root is lost,

Many ancestral families faced the worst,

I am not the first person to experience this,

Broken hundreds of couple intense,

Lord never bestowed to their wombs,

Died childless, crying before Lord,

Quiet now. wiped out tears, looked at,

The face of the Lord smiling at my start,

It is my world, I play, O human think,

Don't pretend to be the master sink,

Reconciled to my command time obeys,

Reconcile your dogma wrongly dismays.

SEDUCTRESS

 

SEDUCTRESS

 

 

A bond connects soul, heart enamor,

Enchanting beauty, feminine allure,

Touches every nerve of a man numb,

Electric sensations transmit aplomb, (1)

 

Paralyzed self-control decency, evoke,

Minute contours speechless revoke,

Socked mind switch off control hell,

Pictures mind imagine starts, swell, (2)

 

Eyes sparkle, locked male heart click,

A million words transmitted felt sick,

Uneasiness, unmindful, irresistible,

Endless search to match unstable, (3)

 

Impossible damsel seductive smile,

Shark attack marks heart juvenile,

Spellbound little fear to encounter,

Few words melodious voice feature, (4)

 

Soothing soft feathery touch trail,

Images attenuate infectious frail,

Scintillates wavy long black hair,

Intentionally swaying stolen care, (5)

 

Lost conserved frame of mind lit,

Voluptuous slender frame tells wit,

Not innocent, well-aware presence.

Awestruck, a male crowd in intense, (6)

 

Perspire, recklessly sweating a few,

Magnetic under light stares renew,

Unabashed sways the frame poetic,

secure creeper-like hands rhythmic, (7)

 

Long fingers narrow waistline stay,

Knowingly visible navel lo dismay,

Alacrity spread through the stage,

Maddening-crowd lost reason haze, (viii)

 

What charmer sizzling sanctified,

Polished reputed civilized life fried,

Lost daytime night at a bar or club,

In college, office, gossips disturb, (9)

 

Captured a population converted,

Ardent fans mindless be portrayed,

The landscape with poster blast,

Boundary wall signboards are last, (10)

 

Bus move on the street, eyes glued,

Semantics fail semaphores viewed,

Exchanges, stealing eyes fixed savor,

Senior persons' eyeglasses, restore, (11)

 

Opened jaws look intensely moving,

Turning head back, dislike missing,

Rubs his long mustache boy smile,

Threshold of adulthood, sees senile, (12)

 

Winks pass speedily, surprised now,

The side of poster windows bestows,

A group of side passengers twisted,

Age no bar male ego failed rested, (13)

 

A poster, a picture of her attack rile,

A toothpaste dresses jewelry style,

Minted a seductress million traps,

A few second pseudo advice claps, (14)

 

Styles to project, cosmetic, imagine,

Melancholic pretty girls magazine,

Support an enchantress seductive,

Spread to rural interior productive, (15)

 

Industry marketing finds boon,

Foolish people, a seductress loom,

From rags to rich an unknown face,

Loot consumer products, surface, (16)

 

Leave it to a reader, linked business,

Runs havoc country, a seductress! (17)

NEVER BELIEVED

 

NEVER BELIEVED 

A time we thought inseparable,

Every moment tortured separation,

Wait for hours, earnestly alert,

Your arrival shriveled every fiber,

Shrinking nerves quivered intensely,

Vanished in a split second, your smiling face,

Hugged united body and soul,

Mingling our minds, thoughts matching,

I loved you, captivated my heart,

Sorry, wrong word, captured willfully,

How come, know my lines on the face,

Not a face reader nearest to my soul,

Instantly understands my desires,

 In seconds, discover my wanting,

In my pain and sorrows presence,

Soothing moonlight or shed of a tree,

Umbrella to my miseries tortured heart,

Fevers came and went your touch,

Socked to see a pale face concerned,

Your healing touch, a magic wand,

Tired from job, ashen face ruffled,

Served you a cup of tea, hugged readily,

The kiss and warmth invigorated you,

How infectious your smile revisit,

Remember our gossip in my lap,

We exchange position, continues,

Knew very well our lives two shores,

The river of blessed union graced,

Tolerated wanting wanton desires,

Failed efforts, aspirations crashed,

You cried on my chest, I bring smiles,

Tickle you for laughter run behind,

Forgotten your agony, you confess,

You loved me, souls linked, too,

Thank Lord for me a husband,

Understanding close a friend too,

No restrictions we confess to each other,

A huge smile followed, wide grin, laughter,

Can't cheat or tell lies, at least to you,

At least to God but not you promise,

Years rolled to five decades a home,

Childless consoled each other, unfortunately,

Both decided not to adopt a child,

You reached a top post and got powerful,

Missing home duty forced irregularly,

Got a divorce letter to sign urgently,

Decided to go abroad overseas mission,

Sarcastically informed get married,

I never remarried, found life mysterious,

Preferred life single to pass silently,

Lost the sweetness of home serenity,

Failed utterly to forget your smell,

Prayed Lord, wherever you stay well,

Not disputed your decision succumbed,

Alone in the large mansion, wondering a life,

Fell ill bedridden for weeks unattended,

A neighbor visited and wrote to you in detail,

Someone is knocking, difficult to stand,

With a stick moved to the door opened,

Never believed you were standing before me,

With your lock stock and barrel,

Confirmed to me you quit the job,

Confessed me never to allow me to die,

Neglected, begged forgiveness, hugged me,

Speechless, spellbound, our life is back,

Never believed I wish to live, to live with you.
