TUSSLE

 

TUSSLE

 

Ardent pessimist sufferer within,

Darkness all around, sound thin,

Who inspires oh soul get alerted,

Bright sunshine doubts shorted, (1)

 

Detached life impossibility share,

Hopeful erase doubts nightmare,

Witness the pull and push stark,

Unwilling conscience wish, mark, (2)

 

Be sentinel for progress, human,

Uncanny senses captured man,

The world elusive pleasure a lot,

Sensual heart throbs love escort, (3)

 

Love the Lord, love the body say,

Conflict abysmal notorious way,

Love complexion youth fair skin,

Slender body shifting eyes win, (4)

 

Demeanor magnetic mesmerize,

Capitulated your heart, precise,

Then and there starts playing,

Gain and loss bargains saying, (5)

 

The rope is strong and display,

Pulls you apart, chokes dismay,

Is it the same love hooked perfectly,

Tussle misunderstood life madly, (6)

 

Love a pet or cow or bird serene,

Love selflessly the Lord help win,

Better leave matter immaterial,

Meaningless the tussle to burial, (7)

 

Buried anger, jealousy, hatred,

Under the earth, crushed, dried,

Why, O human, fight, argue, hurt,

Violent scalding answers effort, (viii)

 

Will you please keep a burner,

Arguments over the flame, sure,

Discover dark fume acrid smell,

Tussle will continue long hell, (9)

 

Discuss, find talks amenable,

Fragrant and bright, no tussle,

Teach children advice the way,

Silence, strictly silent, life says, (10)

 

Disagree with injustice, leave the place,

Abruptly leave tussle no trace,

Waist of energy, vain ego fights,

Polite, O soul leave quickly delights. (11)
