INTENSE

 INTENSE 

Scrutinize verdure inviting fresh,

Search churning heart refresh,

Rebellious today caustic, rewind,

Years passed mellowed unkind, (1)

 

Drunken mind aspired minaret,

Glass tower office project target,

Gain popularity, mint gold fame,

Mind ties a hundred dragonflies, (2)

 

A thousand butterflies fluttered,

Heart found tireless effort flattered,

Human life is intelligent, unwise,

Hideous greed harbored prize, (3)

 

Outcry on desolate valley lonely,

Suffered wounded soul homely,

Found today solace freedom rare,

The body is bare shed arrogance care, (4)

 

Unconcerned, immaculate living,

Rests on velvety grass breathing,

Forgotten career city life humdrum,

Passion cut off flying kite fulcrum, (5)

 

Discovered human life, peace, love,

Beautiful bungalow gadgets dove,

Pierced the dove with arrow lust,

Sobbing my life overjoyed on dust, (6)

 

Realized someday, the body merges,

Mingle with air, water, soil surges,

The day was mesmerizing, jovial,

Sun was shining bright, magical, (7)

 

Watch numerous birds hover, circle,

Liberated my soul no pain miracle,

Feeling drowsy, sleepy overtakes,

Smile my life awakened overtakes, (viii)

 

No question of repentance bliss,

Wife, tearful near me, hug and kiss,

Got her husband, her loneliness end,

My daughter, a teen laugh descend, (9)

 

Papa, you have come home, sure,

It was a moment intense and pure,

Years roll by, happy home sequel,

The family got me, prize me to propel, (10)

 

Modest living human life love top,

Care sharing time relationship crop,

Dragonflies died, butterflies no more,

The mind discovered reality heart enamor, (11)

 

An intense feeling and calmness crop.

Not me, not you, not many to develop,

Intense scrutiny objective of a lifetime,

Imaginative, wise decision determine. (12)
