MIRAGE OF THE MIND

 Mirage of the Mind

Searches the human heart for water,
Parched lips, thirsty dreams shatter,
Quicksand, an elusive mind waylaid sadly,
Endless sand dunes trap life easily,

No escape from an expanse till horizons,
Paranoid thoughts provoke reasons,
Lifeless under the blistering, heated sun,
A line of camel travelers was defeated,

Resembling hope against hope stays,
Continue amid distrust, satirical plays,
Golden sands make life lose its track,
Aspiration and failure symbolize a mark,

Merciless wind lacks lush green valleys,
Baseless dreams sweep remorse’s tally,
Not a bush or wildflower, present, says,
Unspoken agonies and miseries in many ways,

Wavy patterns of sand, edges of dunes,
Restless, humans run after fortune,
A drop of moisture denied at the deathbed,
Losing consciousness, conscience threads,

Fewer realize the human heart disobeys,
At the last minute, know the Lord, praise,
Collect the remaining strength on no basis.
Mirage of the mind, discover an oasis!

DESPERATE

 

DESPERATE

Quagmire, surreptitious feeling,
Unpleasant situations, sinking,
Lost hope failed to utterly shatter,
Human life progress encounters
Feelings of sinking, miss bottom,
Miracles possess life, trick some,
Discovers a root branch to hold,
Saves precious life lessons gold,
Attempt innumerable survive fit,
Human emotions, cries discreetly,
Beg mercy, plead for help, tearful,
Circumstances, events of life, fearful,
Coming out of hunger, poverty,
Experience lessons find security,
Miniscule or inkling conscience,
Wisdom fights circumvent mince,
Analyzes hazards, invisible, guess,
Desperate life prepared to impress,
Observe love, disrupted, disliked,
Magnetic love attracts life, licked,
Education career possession list,
Asset wealth land influence mist,
Desperate life to grab steals, unfair,
Not virtue but vice crumbled hire,
Equally, the human spirit is desperate,
Success, sacrifices, virtuous traits,
Human life is short, attempt quickly,
A desperate attitude gains timely,
Silver lining human excels in quality,
Desperate attempt to gain purity,
Practice shedding prejudice price,
Discipline hire inclination justice,
Amazes life, mysterious world,
Feed desperation capitulate mold,
Path two ways impulsive attempt,
Other name desperation contempt,
Revive, survive, or quagmire waits,
Watch dreadful pictures or baits,
Trick saves life from the teeth of death
Desperate attempt roots wealth,
Clasp tightly, come out, in vision,
Now or never act, clue desperation,
Risqué from the quagmire wisely,
A desperate attempt is saved promptly.

SEARCHING FOR A WAY TO LIVE

 

SEARCHING FOR A WAY TO LIVE

Desert sand bed, I sleep under the sky,
A sandstorm is rising, covering eyes,
Laughs at me, a cactus stands quietly,
Bristling thorns, pink flowers lovely, (1)

Defy human heart survival surfaces,
Encounter predatory nature traces,
Knew will be buried under the sand,
Extinction of civilization, understand, (2)

Enjoying sleep in the snow field, well,
An avalanche will be over me, dwell,
No sign of life or trace was found.
Alongside lush green meadows hail, (3)

Immerges fountains, springs, flowers,
Questions to the soul threaten hours,
Nature is beautiful and serene; it stays,
Human actions, reckless, in many ways, (4)

Quietly watch rainy days or flooding,
Swept away, villages sank in brooding,
The quiet river is now angry, furious,
Breaks embankment images, curious, (5)

Slept on a wooden bench on a winter night,
Spine-chilling cold wind, dark eyesight,
Weathers birds on nests, street animals,
Surprise a human life, delicate and small, (6)

Heartbroken, a pretence meaningless,
Boast wisdom, intelligence, yet distress,
There is a way to save life and get pleasure,
Walks now in the mountains treasure, (7)

Realization, not war devastation, grave,
Searching for a way to live, a future to save,
Whisper, fresh breeze, wild grass smiled,
Challenge not the nature, a mind is wild (viii)

SUBSTLE MESSAGE

 SUBTLE MESSAGE

Stars twinkle in the night peacefully,
Full moon with a rabbit shines bright,
Shadows the branches wind plays,
Leaves are a musical symphony, really. (1)

A droplet of rain continuously tears, runs,
The river moves to meet the ocean,
Disobeying mind colludes with the heart,
Desires, scantily fulfilled, soul mourns, (2)

Intoxicated honey bee wild search,
In between petals attract nectar,
Flower to pollen dust, congratulate,
Magnetic moments happiness lurch, (3)

Look from the open window in silence,
Thoughts flow to the brim, visible,
The heart compels us to tell many stories,
Lips are busy drinking tears, sense, (4)

Love intensely reminds many a word,
You failed to understand my eyes,
An ocean of unspoken emotion stays,
Hope someday, I will get a reward, (5)

Countless subtle messages provoke,
The eye's silence transmits touches,
The mind you possess happily feels,

Soul unite with soul lovingly revoke, (6)

Accepts embracing and separation,
Still rebellious search eyes disobey,
The softness, caring, healing touch,
Whispers in the ear emit devotion. (7)

 

Wait, dear, patiently every moment,
Dearly want your presence to return,
Near the open door, a window check,
Match resemblance, walk, feel current, (viii)

Born to love, speak all secrets freely,
Confess and confide incidents,
Endless gossip, subtle message
Verses of soul, eyes, silence essays (9)

ESCAPE FROM THE PAST

 

ESCAPE FROM THE PAST

The heavy burden of family tension stays,
Many a time she searched for a way,
The monthly bill, groceries, and electricity,
House rent, water tax, life, no security, (1)

Meager is the income of the husband, plights
Workload to late-night absence fright,
Children on the school bus return to wait,
Her life, a housewife's complex trait, (2)

Narrow gullies crisscross drain stinks,
Dirty children's playful innocence links,
Shanty houses in rows, an urban picture,
Shiny malls, restaurants, and hotels allure (3)

What a contrast to the middle-class!!
The deprivation of street life, in mass,
A morsel of food, a pang of hunger, ill,
She saw everything when life was to heal? (4)

The noise, dust, smoke, traffic, rush,
Disgusting, she walks with her saree brush,
Suffocate the high-rise building light,
Pavement potholes, rain, flood sight, (5)

Dream of paradise and scenic places,
Look vacantly through the window,
She planned a trip, ticket was canceled.
Frustration, anguish, but hope surfaces (6)

She got her train reservation confirmed,
Packing her baggage, saving life planned,
Mesmerize the sea, beach, and golden sand,
A sunrise, fishermen, well understand, (7)

The sultry, moist wind waves advance,
Chirps seagull, a rare pleasure, enhances,
Escape from the past stood motionless,
Aural Divine glory she missed impress. (viii)

SEQUEL INSTIGATE

 

SEQUEL INSTIGATE

Ignite desire and lose self-control,
Disrupt balance, and life becomes tangled,
Observe intense scrutiny that amazes,
Innocence decays in the gutter, enrages. (1)

The world moves fast, in a bitter battle,
Wise survive, rise, and exploit deception,
Socks symbolize my life, trust, and beliefs.
Benevolent act; the fox steals, planning. (2)

Lack of evidence, culprits escape,
Dark, infamous world, a fleeting luxury,
Act, dream, steal, get rich overnight,
Heart-wrenching fears that break hearts. (3)

Brutal spirits show little mercy, hurt,
Conscience fails, comfort fades, alert,
Disrespect, compassion, sympathy,
Bruises, life, and empathy are missing. (4)

Evade suffering, seek revenge, lit.
Turbulent social fabrics are clear,
Contemplate grievances; reform is best,
A law displays strength, tests its rules. (5)

Reflect deeply; complex writing intrigues,
Solutions prevail, stubbornly debated,
The sequel begins with a ruined home.
Illiteracy, poverty, and ignorance hurt (6)

A broken home separates the orphan, wife,
A dying soul hesitates little; rejects Sigh,
Desperate, wounded tigers roar and hunt,
Lethal snake bites taunt as losers fall. (7)

Education and character take root in a child,
A bond of girls, women, and mothers exists,
Crimes and deception cheat and dissipate,
Focus linked the episode; sequels spark. (viii)

ECSTASY IN A DUET

 

ECASTASY IN A DUET

Vast expanse of water, the horizon,
A sunrise crimson red color emotion,
Hues painted the sky and still water,
Gentle waves, fresh wind, and moisture (1)

Fishermen in boats netting fish well,
Villagers in motorboats, dream trails,
Deep waters of the Chilika islands exist,
Lush green forest covers, birds visit, (2)

Rustic life, simple folk, different stay,
In contrast to urban style life displays,
Silence and darkness are less of a road rule,
Peace and happiness are visible in life, cool, (3)

The Bay of Bengal cyclone is a threat.
Angry waves of the lake fearfully create,
Weary boatmen anchor at an island,
Storm passes soon, calm water stands, (4)

Seagulls, cranes, and flamingoes fly,
Circle the groups move to shore defy.
Intercontinental birds trans-migrate,
From Siberia, Mongolia seasons wait, (5)

A playful dolphin jumps out of the water,
The visitor watches the camera capture,
The mangrove marshland is rich in life,
Marine life, fish, crab, and prawn thrive (6)

Asia's largest salty lagoon is attractive,
A feeding ground for birds, nests thrive,
Chirpings incessantly arouse the soul,
Stood motionless, bewitched, a goal, (7)

Transcend mural of a different paint,
Not willing to quit, overwhelmed, I resent,
Ecstasy in a duet, flamingoes dancing,
A pair draws a perfect song, romancing, (viii)

SECRETLY CONFESS

 SECRETLY CONFESS

 
Romanticism is the wrong word to use,
A beautiful woman on the billboard lies,
Lurking smile, wavy hair, and attire,
Illuminated in the night, hearts in despair, (1)

 An angelic face, unknown, is staring,
Stealing glances, amused, life is singing.
No chance to meet or greet is possible,
Why are our eyes fascinated by trouble? (2)

 Once I watched an attractive figure,
Failed to recognize her allure.
Moving in a long saree, slim body,
Why engrossed in it, studying sadly? (3)

Her perfumes and magnetic demeanor,
On the bus, shocking; I found it pathetic.
Questions: Is it juvenile delinquency?
Have I lost all conscience and decency? (4)

Never infatuated with any woman;
The mind is the culprit nobody can outplay.
Discipline flickers less, silently guided.
Look away from the wild mind that presided. (5)

Countless thoughts, imaginary weavings,
The heart is immersed in the perceived.
Lost peace of mind, a wakeful night,
A dream never fulfilled brings fright. (6)

The day love entered life was astonishing.
All the predators quickly vanished.
She is in the heart, mind, and soul.
Her beautiful presence reveals a goal. (7)

Infinite trust and confidence grow well.
Her eyes are beautiful and glamorous.
Gossip of the past searching for a life,
Secretly confess all; remove strife. (viii)

AMENABLE

 

AMENABLE

When humans face trouble, worry,
Macabre situation frustrates horribly,
Imagine stormy sea turbulence, fiery,
Surging waves ship rises, sink worry,
Rarely does the ship sink, rises again fit,
Trouble disappears, O human, yet quit,
The macabre situations, dreary desert end,
Oasis cold water satiate mirage send,
Indefinite uphill crevasse route stays,
Amenable human spirit wins dismay,
Stupendous act to accept the eventuality,
Coldblooded spirit deals with susceptibility,
Rare courage instincts exist, amenable,
Accept advice, willing to devise, able,
Knew such brave and bold humans,
Defeat ill fate, misfortune, had plans,
Teacher in-conspicuous parent in life,
Commendable advice to thwart strife,
Thought again, blizzard, tree swinging,
Frightful sight touching the ground lying,
Windless, a static tree rises green,
Amenable quality of life survives to win,
Sojourn amenable to divine life healing,
Lord's command distinct practices,
Willing to follow and obey peace notices,
The soft grass dews flowers fragrant,
The moon illuminates, brilliant sunshine,
Mountains are beautiful from caverns,
Rain comes, waterfall sight life learn,
Who gives command is obeyed willingly,
Will you be amenable, spirit feelingly,
Love and serve life short, take care,
Parents and teachers, God do share,
Simplicity, detached life is fragrant,
Amenable life to rise or fall, instant,
Conscience speaks within the betrayed,
Troublemaker minds well waylaid.

STEALS THE HEART

 STEALS THE HEART

When you miss your son, daughter,
Seen lost happiness and laughter,
Alone in the confined home, lonely,
Why forget that children are happy only. (1)

Crying the morn shedding its tears,
The dew acts as a conspirator; it wears.
Panoramic spectral hues due to share,
Ever you roll on the grass, be aware? (2)

Chicks of yesteryears select the forest,
Built their nest on branches attest,
A dawn sunlight in brilliance invites,
Your kids are playing, visits excite, (3)

Miserable attitude, time steals all.
Surely return once time heals, call,
The love you dear adore infinitely,
A mind troubled plays deliberately, (4)

Sick, wakeful nights thoughts link,
Attachment love permanent wink,
The sunshine brings hope, a message,
Lush green leaves, flower essays, (5)

Little kids are playing, giggling,
Touch them, please escape, wriggle,
Behind you, I watch your laughter,
Opened your heart and feel better, (6)

Life is love to meet and miss well,
Children, their voices exist, prevail,
They danced in the rain and got a fever,
Cold winter under blankets, shiver, (7)

Summer time, their parched lips,
Brilliant morning, a heart weeps,
No more tension, watchful hours,
Steals the heart, dear love showers (viii)

HONEYBEE HOVERS

 HONEYBEE HOVERS

Lingering happiness, small wings sing,
Symbolizing love, displaying full swing,
Colorful petals are magnetic, attracting well,
Pollen-ridden existence, alluring dwell, (1)

The fragrance's acute scent prevails,
A distant place, a honey bee travels,
Love is an unspoken word transmitted by eyes,
A flower waits eagerly; the bee fails to resist, (2)

Desperately creating a pollination nature,
Procreation is linked to searching for a creature,
Love rebounds with love and existential,
A color spectrum of perfume preference. (3)

It never searches for dirt or acrid smells, flies,
To collect honey, the nectar defies life,
A honeycomb is a storehouse of intimates,
The message to humans dictates meaning (4)

Hover over purity, honesty, and beauty,
Life prefers to accept the Divine quality,
Heart pollinates, mind breeds, and shows,
The seed of noble deeds inspires and glows (5)

An intoxicated mind searches for gems,
As honeybees madly advance and inflame,
Nectar is a magical melody in human life.
Escaping from miseries, worry, or strife. (6)

Let us not become a fly that sits in dirt,
Jealousy, anger, and envy duly impact,
Fever fails to acquire predominant nectar,
Reject, criticize, and condemn are important. (7)

Choose, O human heart, mind, and soul,
A honeybee hovers over your head, a goal,
Become a lotus flower petal to bloom,
Honey is rich, the nectar remains a boon, (viii)

LAP OF LOVE

 

LAP OF LOVE

Looked many a time, father, mother,
Search, plentiful brother and sister,
Lost in wildlife, sleep on soil, nature,
Lush green grass with wildflowers, (1)

Slept on the river or ocean beach,
Failed to pacify the heart bewitched,
Witness birds circling, chirping, say,
Footprints on the sand pebble lay, (2)

Lost my existence footprint, gone,
Painful steps on stones, life learns,
Rest under the cool shade of the tree,
Hesitant mind unsettles and runs free, (3)

Crystal clear blue stream for bath,
Cool's physical heart lost its path,
Sweet home, the bed is warm, worth
Sleep on the soft cotton feel both (4)

Carrying the ghost of worries lay,
Tears of the past present dismay,
Dreams appeared, disappeared,
Unknown love, imaginary feared, (5)

Brokenhearted wanted to gossip,
Confess accumulated love worship,
Intense desire to build the next one,
Where do you stay? Cruel to become (6)

Boundless misery and agony to open,
Sit adjacent to me, listen to life soften,
Untold stories to unspoken words,
Express to your soul, look forward, (7)

Hungry to look at your beautiful eyes,
All my struggle nightmares dissolved,
To sleep once, say on the lap of love, (viii)

BOND

 

BOND

Humans depend, survive, and remind;
Situations are critical, help from behind.
A grateful heart closely exists, linked,
Magic, soul-to-soul sharing persists,
Unfortunately, a bond of blood is broken;
Greed, jealousy, ego, anger, and token.
The opposite genetic bond is stronger,
Generations ago, we no longer shared.
A family with a dozen siblings grew;
Hundreds of related love bonds, knew.
Modern-age families split up couples,
Husband and wife face trouble.
Age plays mischief with ambition’s way.
Gain and loss balance, as the bond says.
Bonds within society integrate tightly,
Upheaval and calamity bond in sight,
The flood, fire, cyclone, and drought,
Humans face bonds erased by frost.
Doubt and disfavor, aloofness misses;
Pouring help, selfless good wishes.
Bond displays an indivisible atom;
Country, citizen, cohesive, visible.
Surprised human soul and body,
The supreme bond, a subtle study.
Links the heart to organs and the mind;
The mind knows the bond, so kind.
Live on this elusive earth, stay human,
The air, water, sky, soil, and bond can.
All are spun, neatly created; animation,
The bond of the soul with the Lord's notion.
Surrendered, sheltered, conceived;
Bond with the Lord, practice perceived.

Artificial intelligence machination,
Know no love, kindness, compassion, (2)

Civilization rose to the zenith, ruined,
Bitter fight aggression alas entwined,

Black smoke fires picture devastation, (3)

Most of the species vanish quickly,
Polluted oceanic deep water rightly,
Fresh air, cool wind, and dust-free, negate,
Fumes of traffic, concrete road state, (4)

Look at a green garden and a creeper,
Beautiful flowers fragrant with color,
Permeate peace and bliss profusely,
Blue sky, pigeons fly, think seriously, (5)

Not visible crowded markets and malls?
Between countries stands a great wall.
Majestic mountain, please visit, dear.
Captivating meadows, forest verdure, (6)

White cranes and flamingoes fly in a flock,
White clouds congratulate feel sock,
Listen, whistling wind, limbs moisten,
Far below the blue waters of a river run, (7)

Distant journey unfolds dreams well,
The sparrow, near extinction, appears,
Surprised, a step to the sky is nearer! (viii)

Couples, children play the instinct mark, (4)

Blue stream and foamy water at the rock,
No more the oasis in sight, life in sock, (5)

Summer entered and announced a time,
Dies, blossoms fallen, petals shed tears,
Dust storms raise hoods, sadly appear, (6)

Human life, how similar spring vanishes,
Bitter fight, death, innocents perish,
Animosity summer resembles cruel,
When will humanity realize that fuel? (7)

Tearfully waiting, spring after you left. (viii)
