THE BROKEN DOOR

 

THE BROKEN DOOR

Painful human life is deserted, left to rot,
Destiny and fate mean nothing, escort.
Fled happiness, pleasure, and laughter,
Crippled life fails to move, sadly suffers, (1)

Consolation, sympathy, a healing touch,
Broken bed crumpled life begs, search,
Left kith and kin, family accepted well,
Shadows of intoxicating memories sail, (2)

Many-fold lovely stories, fun, and smiles,
Tearful, the human, looking void, senile,
How soon time passed, a sweet home,
Blown by the terrible wind, found gone, (3)

Watches the moon and stars shed tears,
Visible blistering sun spider nets sheer,
Perforated roof, crumbling walls show,
The man contemplates, and he knows, (4)

Condemned, unprovoked, succumbed,
No chance to escape, watch, numbed,
Moss, bush, and long roots of plants,
Lost all dreams and hope life implants, (5)

Ajar, wooden door, and without paint,
Partly broken mirror, his life remnant,
Scarcely, the darkness petered out soon,
Anticipate a remote chance, revive a boon, (6)

The initial chapter of life, sweet home,
Days passed peacefully and beautifully
Soaked with the river of desires flown,
Aspired to the brave heart efforts shown, (7)

Uprooted the tree of life, astonished,
Still living in the broken home, he wished,
The broken door, sunken life thrives,
The bad dream melts, wishes survive. (viii)

THE DESTINATION PEACE

 

THE DESTINATION PEACE

 

The holocaust humans made cruelly,

Ravages, horrible war, uproot family,

Reverberates outcry and cries touch,

Today, humanity is perplexed to search (1)

 

Not a mountain of gold or a metropolis,

Neither mansion nor assets cripples,

Air, polluted, suffocates life, threatens,

Water turned toxic, death precedes, (2)

 

Green mountains eaten up, boulder,

Rockwall gnawed the savages shoulder,

Arid grassy lands, dry river bed, long,

Wish for verdant valleys flows song, (3)

 

Dense forest, blue river, or waterfall,

Animal habitat, birds chirp, life rolls,

Spectral streak of sunlight and dew,

Grass is laden with gems, life views, (4)

 

Ends the horrible war, calamity rebuild,

Search humans' scopes to live, shield,

Dawn upon humans' hearts unite well,

Dispelled distrust, suspicions quell, (5)

 

Abolished discrimination, cast, creed,

Diminishes illiteracy, prosper indeed,

Reject rivalry, anarchy, or bitter fight,

The land found real gold, the delight, (6)

 

Bright gold is peace, happiness, love,

Decades of animosity, realized, solved,

Cements the brotherhood, cultures,

Tolerant of festivals, customs allure, (7)

 

Nature golden lake sunrise message,

The destination peace the land says,

Unsinkable boat of trust, exist Earth,

Unique blue planet yet visible worth. (viii)

HEALING THE SOUL

 

HEALING THE SOUL

 

Unspeakable pain lingered sadly,

Difficult to recover, want madly,

The fountains dried pebbles hot,

Fantasy the hunted ghost escort, (1)

 

Dream and failure fracture faith,

Mirages, the golden deer, wealth,

Gained overjoyed, celebrated life,

Lost overnight everything, strive, (2)

 

Missed helping hands fed shows,

Regaining presence, fewer know,

The sweet home or get-together,

Guests left the house, soon after, (3)

 

Children got married, bade adieu,

Fun fair, humorous affair, a view,

Kill the loneliness piercing silence,

A year passed, pages turned sense, (4)

 

Opportunity or scope bleak, blunt,

Rarely visit a yearning life learnt,

The sum and substance, joy, love,

Remind peace, pleasure, dissolves, (5)

 

The sunrise, the blank page allure,

Wait, unfolding destiny life assured,

Change the merciless fate aspire,

The melodrama of sunset inquire, (6)

 

Witness the page of life, romantic,

Transformation changes, ecstatic,

Establish progress and prosperity,

The river of dream, brink, beauty, (7)

 

Mourn the closing year, the dawn,

Healing the soul, New Year sworn,

Transient life pattern and intricate,

Erase scars, revive life, promulgate,(viii)

PAINSTAKING RIDE

 

PAINSTAKING RIDE

 

Life often faces struggles to proceed,

The debacle cripple the mind, deed,

Stiff slopes, minor mistakes, life slips,

Climb to cliffs, hairpin bends, sweeps, (1)

 

Human life, not a dream entourage,

Daredevil, the heart, carries courage,

Reach the peak of a mountain or a view,

Who scales heights, tirades very few, (2)

 

Every droplet of sweat salty narrates,

The willpower determination dictates,

Every fiber or tissue is tensile or strong,

Indomitable determination, the song (3)

 

Achieve honesty, crush anarchy well,

Search or find, milestone, devil dwell,

Defeat the beast, smiling face travels,

Youth, the pedestrian, dare, unravel, (4)

 

O young traveler, knowledge guides,

The path is curvaceous, steep rides,

Your foresight, wisdom, or patience,

Unpredictable chasms, pitfall sense, (5)

 

The future of the land is a heavy burden,

Lay on your shoulder, drops suddenly,

Let not this happen, peace ensured,

Spread happiness literacy, matured, (6)

 

Health is wealth, love nature, Earth,

Unite the world, young mind, worth

Innovate, cultivate, associate more,

The uphill path dream imagination, (7)

 

The country waits eagerly to drive,

Root prospective vision time thrive,

The painstaking ride signifies youth,

Selfless sacrifices protect the truth. (viii)

RESILIENCE OF HUMANITY

 RESILIENCE OF HUMANITY

Limitless troubles, calamity, or threat,

Countless catastrophe lives, eliminate,

Fearful flurry of flood and play havoc,

The destruction of Earth, sights sock, (1)

 

Uprooted peaceful home forced to flee,

Wildfire burning forests, looting trees,

The green carpet of Earth, barren, dry,

Exhibit cruelty, humans ruin and defy, (2)

 

Vanished verdure, dry river bed stare,

Cataclysmic future nearer or despair,

Heartbreaking, Earthquakes destroyed

The savage war aggressions deployed, (3)

 

Toxic smog pollution results in restless,

Fail to discover solutions and distress,

Massive migration for labor, the jobless,

Spread violence or arson, life suppress, (4)

 

No mercy, blatant lies, fabrication stay,

Ruthless to grab power, sectarian play,

Display animosity, hypocrisy, crude life,

Seeds to divide the society and thrive, (5)

 

Look at the firefighters and nature lovers,

The street dwellers, sympathy outpour,

Warm food, a shelter, and blanket gifts,

Cold night, bonfires annihilate the rifts (6)

 

Reformation and transition for humans,

Lingers peace, amity, and freedoms can,

Progress and prosperity ensue reward,

Resilience of humanity assures forward (7)

 

A few hours after becomes history, true,

The sad event, the past year hurt, view

Glorious humans' future, to erase tears,

Freedom gained, proclaims firefighters, (viii)

RUINS TO RESURRECTION

 RUINS TO RESURRECTION

 

Blasted the rocks and humans wild,

There were waterfalls or brooks filled,

The dense forest and verdant green,

Crystal clear water flowed, streams (1)

 

 

Raw wall of the boulder hills stares,

Gnawed lack consideration or sight,

The breathless choking dust pollutes,

Mining and construction or dispute, (2)

 

 

Lost the precious land tribal protest,

Lost the habitat, animals, forests gone,

Birds' colony moved far away, horror,

Silence and explosion spread terror, (3)

 

 

The wall to fertile lands from deserts,

Disappeared quickly, the future, alert.

No more fresh air, cold winds, or rains,

The dry River lifeless picture blames, (4)

 

 

Ruins of nature for prosperity grow,

Catastrophe or harsh climates show,

Spread illness, health hazard, sorrows,

In fact, humans' crime, no tomorrow, (5)

 

 

How much life gained and forfeited,

The fallacy of sweet dreams, ignited,

The rudderless boat, and it soon sinks,

Rebuild the nature civilization thinks, (6)

 

 

Do or die, extinction is nearer break,

Forestation protects nature, life shakes.

Uprooted trees sprout leaves, seeds,

Plantations, the mass efforts, indeed, (7)

 

 

Butterfly, wild flower, and honey bee,

Announces ruins to resurrection see,

Not a miracle paradise regained, yet,

Sooner, humans ponder before the date. (viii)

UNFOLDED PEACE

 

UNFOLDED PEACE

Tumultuous heart, rebellious mind,
Tortured soul, turbulent life unkind,
Fear-stricken failed to escape sadly,
Own shadow, stood a ghost, madly, (1)

Inconsolable pains, wounded, hurt,
Tolerated all humiliation and effort,
Bias treatments, inhuman attitude,
Beyond her imagination acted rude, (2)

Silent, she drank poison of situations,
Knew her fate, destiny, no solution,
Salute to the courage, bear her life,
Thus continues the story and strife, (3)

Fewer, she spoke, her suffering, hell,
Scarcely does she complain or yell,
Alone in her life, tolerated totally,
She survived, withstood hurt, lovely, (4)

Bruised and battered scar painted,
She was leading her life unwanted,
Casually surprised finding reasons,
Spiraling horrors witness seasons, (5)

She escaped without informing. fled,
It is her stubborn decision, no tirade,
Fled to nature, a solitary life, stays,
Found the paradise happiness play, (6)

The mountain peaks dense forests,
The river grazing field her life tests,
Discovers sunrise, sunset, the birds,
Perpetual silence, song, or inwards, (7)

Forget the scary past, she recovered,
Unfold peace before her eyes, lure,
Blossomed smile twinkles her eyes,
She is an angel, untouched, defies. (viii)

THE SUN AND THE EARTH

 

THE SUN AND THE EARTH

Bright sphere is a million miles away,

The fire bulb radiates light and sway,

Ancient creation in the universe moves,

Nine planets, the family rotates proves (1)

 

Lifeless hot gaseous and icy crust stays,

Circularly rotates around the Sun, says,

The blue planet with water life grows,

Mountains, forests, and the river flows (2)

 

The azure sky clouds sail lazily or rain,

Clouds shroud the Sun, sunlight claims,

Thunderstorm, lightning, snow shower,

Ice-capped peaks and valleys yet allure, (3)

 

Rotates the Earth around the Sun, year,

The attraction and pull of gravity power,

Golden sunrise streak of light or dew,

Sparkles like a gem disappears a view, (4)

 

The moon pours the silvery light, night,

Romantic life captivating hours excite,

Light plays with shadows longer, rotates,

Solstices, stone hedge determines great, (5)

 

Seasons, months, summer, and winter,

The rain and springs, life encounters,

The myth of sensations, romanticism,

The Earth rotates, the day and night (6)

 

Sunlight, air, and water, a seed sprouts,

A myriad of living beings, trees or roots,

Animal life, birds, and marine life need

The Earth is their home, the Sun indeed, (7)

 

Interdependent, unrivaled relationship,

The humans acknowledge or worship,

The source of life sustenance, balance,

Dawns and dusks, realize life enhances. (viii)

LUMINOU THE FUTURE

 

LUMINOUS THE FUTURE

Terrify the darkness and shadows,

War cry, wildfire, burnt meadows,

Holocaust, catastrophe, draughts,

Parched fields fractured wrought, (1)

 

Vanishing green forest rivers, dry,

Bald mountain blasted, crushers,

Spread dust, scenic beauty absent,

Tribal lost their land, and resentful, (2)

 

Or, cropping up high-rise buildings,

Metal roads, wide, crisscross long,

Name, uplifts civilization shielding,

Luxury comfort wealth living song, (3)

 

Horror-filled outgrowth, the jungle,

Predator prowls day or night, mingle,

They stalk walk fugitives play naive,

Mercilessly loot, and harms, blames, (4)

 

Exists a narrow trek ahead straight,

The world leads the new generation,

Glorious opportunity, safe, secure,

Captivates brilliant sunrise, assure, (5)

 

There stays, no loss of life, prospers,

Unknown pain, misery, or tensions,

Effulgence energy vigor life sponsor,

Benevolence inspired help emotion, (6)

 

Not a trace of sorrow, tears, and fear,

The rainbows of happiness shower,

Lotus blooms here, petals significant,

Renaissance of human lives defiant, (7)

 

The night of the mind life fails to find,

The luminous future, the Lord is kind,

Flow fountain of peace and love well,

The nightmarish dreams slowly quell. (viii)
