BURNING DESIRE

 

BURNING DESIRE

 

 

Aghast, a state realize reality,

Semblance life event stability,

Collapsed, lost consciousness,

Correlation crept, let impress, (1)

 

Discovers hospital bed nurses,

Rows of patient sight if curses,

Who will survive till the dawn,

Who quit last night unknown, (2)

 

Self watch, my monitor screen,

Gentle curves assured stream,

Human life, mesmerizing value,

Fragile, human lives, loses clue, (3)

 

Sleeping on the bed, inert, alert,

Owner of a dozen houses effort,

Burning desire writhes dreamy,

Worked earned million steamy, (4)

 

Every conceivable design, flats,

Number of famous city impacts,

Ponder deeply, acquired home,

List of property, asset, worrisome, (5)

 

Why do I build homes? for whom,

Failed to answer reason come,

Burning desire, within me fire,

A bed is enough I build an empire, (6)

 

Thousands of square feet fight,

I worked and earned millions, right,

Realized now life is not perpetual,

Hundreds of flats won magical, (7)

 

Stolen my possession material,

Burning desires think satirical,

Not emotional realization cursed,

A second, curve to line immersed, (viii)

 

A few seconds after a declaration,

Preparations for the cremation,

What will happen to my property,

Nameplates redesigned thirsty, (9)

 

Just a name, age, address, stay,

Acquire property soon dismays,

The ghost of burning desire live,

Believe or disbelieve but deceive, (10)

 

Perfect machination steal dream,

Resilient to detachment extreme,

Fight for money territory assets,

I sleep on hospital bed dissects, (11)

 

The ghost piggy-backed my life,

Opposed to a forgotten cruel knife,

Smile at myself, mistakes to identify,

Burning desire, soul escape, defy, (12)

 

Merge with the earth, wind, water,

Perpetual, soul unite with nature,

Not in every breath, mingle, know,

Childhood to twilight years, show, (13)

 

Burning desire part of nature lit,

Divine wish, human lives defeat,

Consoled, comfortable, convinced,

Slept soundly God bless evinced, (14)

 

Burning desire, sojourn finished,

Forgot the creator, time vanished,

Vanished asset assertive strength,

Burnt desires illusive, at length. (15)

SURREPTITIOUS

 

SURREPTITIOUS

 

 

Unanswered questions floated,

Turbulence in a teacup, gloated,

Myriad mystery, life projection,

Taunt human trouble rejection, (1)

 

Fights lifelong solution difficult,

Possibility achieved check fault,

Utter silence, quiet move finish,

Unfinished work complete wish, (2)

 

Bare body, no cloth, wet skin, toil,

To raise the head again alert foil,

A thick mist of realities disappears,

I exist fighting for life fail severe, (3)

 

Forgetting life if extinguished lit,

Flickering wick burning it defeat,

Four walls, bathroom, I struggle,

An invisible power, life smuggle, (4)

 

Watches illuminated bathroom,

Blackout state darkness groom,

Forgot for a few seconds of existence,

Unconsciousness, no resistance, (5)

 

Fail to cry out for help, forget fell,

It is twice, fell unconscious, nail,

Paralysis state, fight for life, still,

Immobilized state, escaped will, (6)

 

How come I could escape, I know,

Automatic electric pushed show,

Rest was rescue symptom alert,

Hospital bed, saline, great effort, (7)

 

Twenty-second, third, fourth, pass,

Dates scroll, unaware of the impasse,

Stable health parameters release,

The hospital to home, bed, please, (viii)

 

Six days knew nothing sleeping,

Time passed by graceful ticking,

Not yet time, dear soul, to escape,

Invisible force watchful life shape, (9)

 

Help when required, I needed much,

A surreptitious hand helped lurch,

Saved me in the bathroom twice now,

Life passed ever searched to bow, (10)

 

Vowed promise made yet broken,

Silently watch my misdeed token,

Savior to me, subtle, plays delight,

Troubles visit me encounter fright, (11)

 

Fail to protect me cry out louder,

Compassion His love get prouder,

Infinite bliss grace care surrounds,

Surreptitious Lord exhibit I found, (12)

 

He protects automatic play found,

Divine presence life is a profound,

Game of light, shadow, life, death,

Surreptitious, He controls the breath, (13)

 

Silk thread, to and fro exchanges,

Living beings inhale the lord's images.

He exists, I missed his entire life,

His visit helped me survive in strife. (14)

REVELATION

 

REVELATION

 

Unaware absentminded heard,

Unambiguous outlooks retard,

Conviction, belief, confuse here,

Corroded vision soul bewilder, (1)

 

Born to die someday certainly,

Hostile earth, land, unfriendly,

Watched caste creed wall, long,

Divisive mind hate satire song, (2)

 

Ignite fights cruel life monster,

Arson, anarchy, acrimony store,

How fire starts, who inflamed,

How shattered, home claimed, (3)

 

Charred social lives, consistent,

Rumor gossips undercurrent,

Divided community class evil,

Nation fractured spine reveal, (4)

 

They say boldly, equal liberal,

Rock solid constitution verbal,

A figment of truth absent, sadly,

Colony of communities madly, (5)

 

Stone-throwing burning shop,

Daring fight, police, lost hope,

Grew adult, when realized well,

Sacred land ancient ages hail, (6)

 

Invaders came, loot and plunder,

Time silenced it steal thunder,

Mughal tyrannical, sorrowful,

Monuments, tomb, Taj awful, (7)

 

Satanic ghost and graveyard, 

Left colonialist dream reward,

Freedom equality progress lit,

Democracy demarked explicit, (viii)

 

Seven decades of wicked belief,

Thunderstruck divide strife,

Dream crumble illiteracy nail,

Theology caste region prevail, (9)

 

Sad crestfallen, heart search,

Why is my country ugly, crutch,

Part and part, proclaim false,

Exist paradise belies repulse, (10)

 

No, not at all history glorified,

Stayed valor, valiant dignified,

The country believes in tolerance,

Non-violent, lists significance, (11)

 

Help suffering people, provide,

Conflicts, war, terror, override,

Lighthouse, peace, tranquility,

Education skill women's ability, (12)

 

Most youth of the world here stay,

Building the country wins a day,

Overpower scenarios consoled,

Golden land ancient craze old, (13)

 

Look at my twilight years tear,

Himalaya Indian Ocean swear,

Effulgent surreal scenic golden,

Ocean time-lap century molten, (14)

 

The ship a billion lives sail, an aspiration,

Mesmerize landscape, a revelation, 

Emanates peace, happiness, hope,

Unearthly heavenly era envelop. (15)
