PAL IN THE SILENT NIGHT

Moments overwhelm, recede soon,

Silvery night clouded, and a full moon,

A million stars blink, vanish quickly,

Apprehends unknown, melancholy, (1)

 

Either a future or the past, present,

Fascinating a story, troubled resent,

Subtle presence, consolation mark,

Gentle breeze dried tear love stark, (2)

 

Invisible to the mind's eye stalk whisper,

Constantly conveyed, life to endure,

Preferred loneliness sobbed missed,

The darkness and sadness life kissed, (3)

 

Reverberate known voice melt sadly,

A jungle of thoughts is creeping madly,

The meaning of life, happiness, love,

How soon the curtain steal, dissolve, (4)

 

The mortal frame or physical shape,

Unnoticed departure shows escape,

Invisible gust of wind blows, touches,

Nostalgic memory hunt life searches, (5)

 

Fail to fathom a beginning, and an end,

The night and lamenting soul friend,

Impassioned, pleasure, and passion,

Silent witness, watch love, emotion, (6)

 

The broken twig, fallen leaves dried,

An aura green, translucent, defied,

Pale and murmur, intense scrutiny,

Hope and aspiration fought, mutiny, (7)

 

Remorse remembrance all entwine,

Pal in the silent night, past genuine,

Possible sunrise loses part of its life,

Meeting the future hopeful in strife. (viii)

END OF ILLUSION

Tireless human life runs unhesitant,
Lust, stark greed compel, constant,
Forget the mission of life, amass all,
Pittance sacrifice ultimately, he falls, (1)

Allures pleasure, physical comfort,
Enamor beauty, charms life escort,
Steal peace, quietude, or happiness,
Perplexed and confused, in distress, (2)

Wakeful night, dreamless or desire,
Witness nightmare, life still aspire,
Gold, assets, and property in a dream,
Frustrations and failures in stream, (3)

Forget to know time rules his life,
Season provides fine flower fruits,
Recovery happens visibly in a strife,
Child grows, youth and adult, roots, (4)

Temptations blur visions, intimate,
To achieve instantly, communicate,
Crestfallen, depressed soul mourn,
Foolhardy impression not sojourn, (5)

The sojourn and objective, points,
Awareness, discipline, well, anoint,
Remove the darkness, clear image,
Alacrity astonished vanish mirage, (6)

Discovers directions, the purpose,
Marvel, miraculous path imposes,
Night end, dawn break, or sunrise,
Translucent vision, clarity precise, (7)

Found the man, peace, happiness,
Pangs of love the heart witnesses,
End of illusion, mirage disappears,
Song of life, melodious rediscover. (viii)

MANY FOLDS OF LOVE

A hundred streams, a river indeed,
A hundred miles flow and proceed,
The mission of life path, discovered,
Merge with the ocean disappeared, (1)

Immense happiness, love, trouble,
Mountains, gorge, the lake bubbled,
Indefatigable and acted determined,
From mountains to the ocean motion, (2)

Rooted boldly stand the trees alone,
Share the shade, fruits, and flowers,
The seed of love, cool life showers, (3)

The gentle breeze, a boatman rows,
Flock of birds fly and lovely shows, (5)

Suppress evil intention, the mind,
Inject kindness, compassion, blind, (6)

The mother earth nature life dwells,
Granaries milk flood, cows bullock,
Agrarian and rustic pictures in a lock, (7)

Many folds of love to communicate,
She arrives and leaves her love to stay,
Prayers, pandals, and worship play. (viii)

The symphony of human life listen,
A melody metamorphoses glistens, (6)

No pain, sorrow, anxiety, and fear,
The music enchants the soul, hear, (7)

Broken string and the heart yearn,
See an irreparable guitar, the heart,
After spring arrives, winter, in fact. (viii)

PEACE AND PERSUIT

Wakeful rainy nights, fearful stare,
Thunder and lightning awful dare,
Parallel life and horror cacophony,
Sadness and troubles accompany (1)

Dream fades and butterfly unseen,
Hunger blistering summer screen,
Memories float or mural frighten,
Failed to escape condition shaken, (2)

No rainbows, azure sky, and clouds,
Looked disappointed, crying loudly,
Why the destiny, cruel, frustrating?
Where has sunshine gone, rotting? (3)

Dearly learned yearn for happiness,
Love, care, and sympathy impress,
Deride by self-esteem divide well,
Vanquished or gain victory dwell, (4)

Scarcely saw the lotus bloom bee,
Intoxicating fragrance beauty see,
Unfound, soothing voices healing,
Lack a melody of life, scintillating, (5)

But never submerged to sorrows,
Looks forward to happy tomorrows,
May opportunity provide scopes,
Fortunate soul escapes life, elopes, (6)

Hopeful, rosy future invites, assure,
Bask in the silvery light encounter,
Enamor the verdant valley forest,
Lost among the trees, mist attest, (7)

Born not to perish but to cherish,
Peace and pursuit, precious wish,
Fruits and flowers, deeds, indeed,
A mission of life is to view a seed. (viii)

RESILIENCE AND LOVE

Minutely observed the baby, smiles,
Hot summer, parched soil, devastates,
Miles, females walk with a pitcher, fate,
The child in the waist laughs in its style, (1)

San shade of tree life searches, water,
Plough field paramount the season,
Rain inundates corn fields, a reason,
Fertile soil sowing paddies, enamor, (2)

Village pond to the brim, the moon,
Lily grows, blooms, ecstasy pervades,
Lotus waits, morning masquerade,
Bullock carts the ringing hear soon, (3)

Agrarian festival offered a faith view, (4)

Careful and concerned mother mild,
The mirth, happiness, and hospitality,
Village life, infectious, admire quality, (5)

A living form of coexistence is amicable,
Farmers pray to the Lord, effort capable, (6)

Village folk, their legacy lives vibrant,
Unaware of luxury comfort and ego,
Visible innocence viable loving agog, (7)

Resilience and love the mural, attest,
Surviving in modern times requires,
Balances the complexity of life aspire. (viii)

THE DIARY AND LIFE

 

Lost days forgotten incidents float,

Cherish moments, tearfully escort,

Soaked with emotion tidal thought,

The misery and pain, solace sought, (1)

 

Stranger became friend, soul mate,

Romantic hours live communicate,

Sutured with spider net, dream well,

Etched in the inner chamber, sequel (2)

 

The childhood budding youth sense,

Letters clipped, stored, love intense,

The thrill and throb entwine a magic,

Union and separation surfaces, tragic, (3)

 

Parental care, love, attention remind,

Wakeful nights on sickbed, soul find,

The teacher acts as a magic stone well,

Read, write, and speak change prevail, (4)

 

Left the home, switched to a nest,

Marriage and kids are sweet, a test.

Chicks flew far off, hatched life lonely,

Diary is complete, stays melancholy, (5)

 

Hard to remember friends, neighbors,

Sad to commemorate the memory lane,

Crisscross the gully blind lane, unsure,

The boulevard lamp post touch, in vain (6)

 

Wrote the magnetic sunrise dusk ink,

The flock of the birds flies, azure I wink,

Waves to the sea kiss foot, sultry air,

Distant horizon merges my life share, (7)

 

Forgotten memories, the diary, and life,

Peace, happiness, and pleasure, a strife,

Read my own diary, cinematic real roll,

In the twilight years, pages to scroll. (viii)

Abode of peace, nothingness dwells,
Strikes hunger, sickness, a predator,
Crowds at the platform, the savior, (5)

Infinite patience, successful, define,
Witness union happy tear, immune,
The pain of a separation, and fume (6)

Entwine his life and a soul searching. (viii)

Tired face a morass in luxury, comforts,

Oven in the cottage burns a fume curls, (7)

Erases the darkness, dogma, and doubt,

Removes suspicions, truth lotus sprout. (viii)
