TIDAL URGE

 

TIDAL URGE

Burns the desire under the heart,
An alluring contour gleams in fact,
Creates a tidal wave of emotions,
Dream paint picture imagination, (1)

Glisten eyes, capitulate the mind,
Touch and distanced love unkind,
The lotus waits for the sun eagerly,
Fail to touch a paradox, meagerly, (2)

Bright light of fire, fireflies hover,
Wild, their heart burned pictures,
Madly, honeybees buzz, or pollens,
Colorful petals captivate senses, (3)

The butterflies or beautiful wings,
Attracts the fragrance, soul sings
Passion cements the heart of love,
Silent eyes message doubt solve. (4)

Conjugal life urges to unite closely,
Shed misunderstanding life, lovely,
An undercurrent withstands pains,
A passionate touch heals to regain. (5)

Immature heart and the wild flower,
Loses rationality, raze the wildfires,
Chooses attractive paradise flavors,
progress, misses pain, fear, and tear, (6)

Romantic thrill life fails to express,
Rainbow and butterfly life witness,
The throb imagines a touch heals,
The union of hearts, time reveals, (7)

Left residue of wanton desire find,
Tidal-urge subsided, passion kind,
Lingering love admiration persists,
Strong ties defy separation, resist. (viii)

A PROMISE TO BREAK

 A PROMISE TO BREAK

The class, caste, and creed exist,

Determined to bypass, resists life,

Colors, race, and religion divide,

The tongue taste custom resides, (1)

 

A tragic death, life mourns, hurts,

The next day, an ecstatic dance routine,

Fly away the bitterness, despite.

Cozy comfort luxury gives respite, (2)

 

Console a tormented soul guise,

Betrayal in the mind tells surprise,

Assure profusely, bless, act wisely,

Steals peace happiness precisely, (3)

 

Smile, the mask anger burns hot,

Soothing talk convinces, life rot,

Clarion to save helpless children,

Printed the sacrifices a fountain, (4)

 

Avert eyes from streetkid ignore,

Prosperity, fame, and fortune lure,

Forget humanity service negates,

Polite behavior, gentleness, relate, (5)

 

An unfortunate aspect, absent virtue,

Catch sight of such jackals, a few,

A beautiful artist paints dreams fast,

Discolored quickly, masterly acts, (6)

 

Offer a bright rose, propose to love,

A colorful bubble bursts, dissolves,

Repentance rarely hurts a ruffian,

Such a person breaks trust, a human! (7)

 

Heart cries, breaks the head, pleads,

A promise to break, cunningly lead,

The cheat deceives his own heart, sad,

Time never returns, again; get mad. (viii)

INTROSPECTION

Lingering shadows of the past hunts,
Staggering expectation life confront,
Upheaval and downfall visited, view,
Suffered and revived, existing a few. (1)

Resurrected the deadwood sprouts,
Baffles the miraculous efforts, fruits
Fame and fortune misnomer decide,
Fate and destiny prosperity preside, (2)

Felt acute pain sink in sorrows, sad,
Pleasures, comforts, luxury life, mad,
Disbelieve the paradigm change, life,
Happiness and peace, absent strife, (3)

Passed through testing years remind,
Fortunately, passed rarely, fate unkind
The sweet home family kids, ecstatic,
Fun and gossip, play music, hypnotic, (4)

The home is empty, lonely, silent,
Realize the meaning of life, essence,
Gold that glitters is a metal trap, sadly.
Lost property and gradually feel bad. (5)

Evoked emotions introspection stay,
Path of life image reflection display,
Morning dew reflects sunlight gems,
Disappear quickly, sight overwhelms. (6)

Conjugal life reminds us of the beginning,
Fag end of life, a couple dreaming,
Tidal wave of desire and actuated,
Waves touch their feet, fascinated, (7)

Life meant creative creation divine,
Introspection bears the vision fine,
The tie not a lie exists seven lives,
The past horrors survived, believe. (viii)

LIFE AND LINE

 

LIFE AND LINE

Immensity of courage provocative,

Minuscule enthusiasm, reactive

Tidal waves, the urge surge, spread,

The crescendo at seaside and fade, (1)

 

Horizon, the boundary at a distance,

Memories, the past, pleasure, scar,

Hazy line, unambiguous or remind,

Forgotten incidents, name or kind, (2)

 

A long road rising steeply to a peak,

Down the hill rolls quickly, a trick,

Milestones show turning points,

Borderlines barricades save paint, (3)

 

Miraculously, human life resembles,

The road without fencing crumbles,

The chasm of evil and nobility hints,

The line unmarked savior, instinct, (4)

 

The riverbank shows a shore well,

Flow like breaths, breached, fail,

Barometer forecasts the weather,

Heart rate, temperature, and fever (5)

 

A red line between lies and truth,

Men spare their lives, hide both,

A distinct division between visible,

Passion and detachment, terrible, (6)

 

Life smiles, often cries, miracles,

The knife has a straight edge angle,

The palm has lines or fingertips,

A shadow of human line pricks, (7)

 

Why is the nose straight, erect spine?

Curiosity pervades, life and line,

To bend, surrender, and stand to win,

Hazardous ideas dilemma between. (viii)

SUNRISE SURPRISE

 

SUNRISE SURPRISE

Behind the human, the sun rises,

Unaware, time passes, life wishes,

Destiny, a fiction hard work alter,

Pseudo impression human falter, (1)

 

Life, the cartwheel, the soul drive,

Path is the time human life rolls on,

Determining the axis of the center,

Dream is a spoke that connects better, (2)

 

Courage the circumference roll,

Bullocks, hope, and aspiration all,

Life moves on cartwheels remind,

The part up and down bend find, (3)

 

The beginning is the dawn point,

The sunset ends the jobs, anoint,

Sunrays, imaginations, thoughts,

Warmth, energy, and results (4)

 

In front of the future behind a past,

In between faces obstacles, first,

Find solutions, trouble dissipates,

Experience imprinted associates, (5)

 

Experiences happiness or peace,

Cross the milestones of life, wish,

Discovers colorful flowers, loves,

Acquire prosperity, smiles solve, (6)

Capitulates envy arrogance able,

Transfer humility and politeness, (7)

 

The transformation is a slow move,

Sunrise surprise suspicion remove,

Guess not the hell but the heaven,

The sun rises behind color seven. (viii)

THE ASPECT OF LOVE

 

THE ASPECT OF LOVE

 

Human life is a pivotal need for support,

Crestfallen but survives, gets rapport,

Heartbroken, bleak future scar, a lot,

Revival, love for life, patiently alert, (1)

 

Lost property prosperity lacks hope,

The inner corner of the heart stops,

Astonishing, a lotus blooms unfold,

The transformation changes to gold, (2)

 

Lonely wolf turned silent wakeful,

A night will never end thoughtfully,

But sunrise, the bud from a pond,

Permeate fragrance mud respond, (3)

 

Inspired by the unique scene dictate,

Life is not to perish, cherish relate,

Each breath is love, sustains life,

Love pacifies the heart, clear strife, (4)

 

Friend or foes, despise look away,

Smells of animosity and display,

A smile, greetings, a loving heart,

Remove bitterness, soon impact, (5)

 

The soothing potion heals wounds,

Affections and admiration sound,

The petals of the lotus, love persists,

Conscience, wisdom, help exist, (6)

 

The gift of the Lord protect well,

Coexistence and tolerance dwell,

Prevail cementing fracture bond,

Usher peace, happiness, life fond, (7)

 

Love nature living being support,

Life diminished, a mirage escorts,

The aspect of love divine, distribute,

The purpose of the human attitude. (viii)

SILENCE LIFE CHOSEN

 

SILENCE LIFE CHOSEN

A flying bird had freedom ecstatic,

Colorful wings and songs, hypnotic,

Captivated many lives and allured,

The songs became silent hankered, (1)

 

Painful memories surface, torture,

Happier days remote past, enamor,

Aloofness depression encountered,

Blunt answer, inhuman, it captured, (2)

 

The flurry of the flood, waters still,

River flows silently, quietude instilled,

Mesmerizing trauma to tender life,

Angry voice finds futile, rejects strife, (3)

 

Soul played music, hypnotized song,

The broken strings, playing wrong,

Mysterious, the human disorients life,

Speechless, repentance truly anoint, (4)

 

Endless dreams, rainbows, butterflies,

Morning dew melts aspiration defy,

Desires murmur fountain captivate,

Springs dried, silent, life passionate, (5)

 

Innumerable gossips or confessions,

Hidden in the heart, lost fascination,

The laughter, smile, teasing missed,

The spirit patient waits, hope, wishes, (6)

 

Sorrow and sadness faced, life cries,

Happiness, peace, and love surprise,

Reject complain grumbling yet think,

Life is the test, phenomenal and sink, (7)

 

Perseverance, patience, and actions,

Silence life chosen wisdom, a vision,

Meditative stance, path many, clear,

Solution discovered progress honor. (viii)

WISER THAN DOCILE

 

WISER THAN DOCILE

The rock turns to sand, water flows,
Mischievous mind betrays, knows,
Soothing voice influence astonishes,
Deceptions and disguise life wish, (1)

Persuade to change life, tireless,
From evil to a noble heart impress,
The bitter fight, transformations,
Notoriety defies efforts' intentions, (2)

Capable, control, action, advise,
Opposite the effect and surprise,
The charcoal fails to sprout leaves,
The human acts scarcely believe, (3)

Quiet interaction and soft touch,
Try to make filigree, molten gold,
The ornament bends, erodes well,
The iron utensils corrode, or fail, (4)

Human belief, faith, wrong foot,
Disapprove the fact, like to boot,
A thousand attempts, futile acts,
Gossip or rumors quickly react (5)

The consequence and self-defeat,
Ignore adamant heart, demerit,
Troubles, tormented soul, spirit,
Repentance awakens, discreetly, (6)

Search for learned or desperate,
The child shows the lantern fate,
Better late than never, accept,
A clue to survive, happy fittest, (7)

A docile fails, a child convinces,
Wiser than docile smile intense,
The light and mirror reflect defy,
Humans acknowledge that lies die. (viii)

THE LAST VESTIGE OF HOPE

 

THE LAST VESTIGE OF HOPE

 

From grassroots lever budding life,

Fought hunger, poverty, insult strife,

Stubborn hide tears pretend smile,

Studious, capricious, and errand style, (1)

 

Determined to be successful, wish,

Crimson glories of sunrise cherish,

Pour boundless energy and vigor,

Established a day arrived ensured, (2)

 

Read fame and fortune or destiny,

Rebellious heart fights the mutiny,

Hammered ethos in the mind defy,

Perform or perish, result, do or die, (3)

 

Greeted prosperity, health, a name,

Astonished, the soul stays the same,

Lack of animosity, friendship, or love,

Often, think about the past probe (4)

 

Life has started flickering at the end,

The property gold failed to defend,

Sadly, the misconnection persists,

Temptation inhibits rejection life resist (5)

 

For whom to leave properties, gold,

Extinguished the life houses sold,

Leave no virtue, principle, emotion,

Remnants of the past love seldom, (6)

 

Decency, politeness, diligence, a life,

Wine, women, unrepentant thrive,

Smoke out cherished life squander,

Lifelong effort, the dreams plunder, (7)

 

Accept the consequence, a future,

The last vestige of hope, a horror,

Life begins and ends spectacularly,

Death cleanses very well past scars. (viii)

TIME AND TIME AGAIN

 

TIME AND TIME AGAIN

Involuntary steps lead to surprising,

The pool of peace hearts tingling,

Whispers, slow breeze, pine trees,

Spiritual value the lustier, greens, (1)

 

Rising Sun, dazzle, effulgence well,

Paint the sky of mind, love prevails,

Harmless divinity purity or swans,

Swimming in the heart, life calms, (2)

 

An icy trek, a narrow valley, an obstacle,

Reach destinations, view spectacles,

Heavenly abode, a paradise exists,

Mortal frame tempted angry resist, (3)

 

Desperate, seek physical pleasure,

Aplomb, discovers ways at leisure,

Comfort and luxury canine breed,

Touch passionately melting indeed, (4)

 

Misnomer, the meaning of love, tag,

Misguides the heart, sorrows drag,

Peacock's colorful tail, dream trap,

Rainbow seven colors, music wrap, (5)

 

The wine, drunken heart is restless,

Life, far from peace and happiness,

Tread the troublesome path move,

Arrive at the poolside effort prove, (6)

 

Instantly heal the sufferings, pains,

Shower orange hues, quietude rain,

The lonely life, silence distracts sadly,

The human runs for his love madly, (7)

 

The story begins, ends, and restarts,

Time and time again, scenes impact

The swans of calm water soul swim,

Humans blunder repent in between. (viii)

COLORED DREAMS

 COLORED DREAMS

Humans search for comfort a lot.

Seek luxurious life realities alert,

Limitless hunger for prosperity,

Borderless land asks for security, (1)

 

Astonishes human appetite fire,

Love the Earth, humans acquire,

Claim the ocean and the sea fail,

Occupy the mountains, the river well, (2)

 

Amasses gold, silver, and jewelry,

Dig mines for diamond life, ivory,

Green eyes, animal life in danger,

Hunt and poach, inherit anger, (3)

 

Depleted forest, or diminishing,

Bald mountain peaks, surprising,

Verdant valley now barren field,

Humans' lust thoughtless shield, (4)

 

Lost fresh air, blue stream, hurt,

Stolen perpetual silence is alert,

Sickness diseases crop up sadly,

Life fights to survive, act madly, (5)

 

Tenet altered adulterated drift,

Torments the heart realize a gift,

Repentance, a healing process,

Humans succeed, efforts impress, (6)

 

Green Earth and conservation,

Peace and happiness relations,

Douses smoldering anger calmly,

Transformed is humanity balm, (7)

 

Finds the essence of short life true,

Smiles colored dreams life view,

Sunrise, inviting branches glory,

A forgotten past erased worries. (viii)
