THE LIGHT OF HOPE

 

THE LIGHT OF HOPE

The earthen hearth firewood,
Cooking pots boil and foods,
The warmth of kitchen peace,
The shelter humans only wish, (1)

Lighted a room, and wellness,
Aggregate labor, toils impress,
Granaries are full of livelihood,
Differentiate life, bad and good, (2)

The bonfire and chilling winter,
Happiness lighted time assured,
The fireworks, festival of the night,
Imprinted in the heart, delight, (3)

Sunrise, or the bright sunshine,
Glistens dew at the dawn, fine,
The azure sky, greenery reflects,
Life exists for the light and direct, (4)

Lotus blooms, leaves grow seed,
Transform the world, yet indeed,
Light and mirrors create images,
Knowledge or light write essays, (5)

Moonlit night, silvery glow softly,
Happiness and love are exhibited aptly,
Romantic night light and shades,
Plays perfectly, dream pervades, (6)

The fireballs, explosions, noises,
Lighted the night sky soul poise,
Ruined homes, children, orphans,
Beat their chests, proud humans, (7)

The light has gone out in darkness,
The light of hope extinguishes,
The candlelit wax molten fumes,
Tears and fears future resumes. (viii)

HUMANS NEED

 

HUMANS NEED

A morsel of food and water matters,
A roof over the head, allures shelter,
A deviate thirsty mind, ditch is sadly,
Life runs for lifetime dreams madly, (1)

A Pandora's box, treasure inviting,
A selfish life plunder feels exciting,
Endless ambition, fame, and fortune,
To grab mercilessly find opportune, (2)

Walk over gold, silver, and diamond,
Peace, happiness, pleasure, abscond,
Sand castles, dream desires, passion,
Lust looted conscience or emotions, (3)

The seeds implanted by the human,
Sprouted, grows quickly, time-worn,
Source of misery, agonies, and pain,
Life, a flower fallen, because of rain, (4)

Immersed in the aspect, fail to find,
Temptation sensation and trill wind,
The mirage ropes the mind to heaven,
Whisper paradise nearer life smitten, (5)

No sight of an oasis paradise vanishes,
Short, the human life dawns cherish,
Cinematic motion, time flows soon,
Halts the human, realizes the boon, (6)

Realize the impermanence, illusions,
The mind traps very well, confusion,
Sunset, the darkness pervades sleep,
Uprooted the old tree, viewer weeps, (7)

Feel the slow breath sign of life flows,
Humans need water, food, all know,
Love, compassion, sympathy, security,
Contribute to growth assets, a variety (viii)

TRAIL

 TRAIL

Life once grass tiny bewildered,
Tall trees, flower fruit, wondered,
Stays a hundred years, leaves fall,
Green leaves blossom time call,
Life of grass, short dried dust fly,
Morning dew as if tears yet defy,
Grazing ground animals discover,
The trail eliminates grass to dust cover.
Beautiful trees, serenity exhibit,
Nature's resemblance lives to excite,
Look at the palatial building notice,
Lighted windows, garden justice,
Grass field decoration, surprising,
Human life footpath, tantalizing,
The trail humans traverse ahead,
Frail, procrastinated, sadly tread,
Men and women rise higher, an example
Courage, industrious, life mingle,
Grassroots poverty and hunger stay,
Trees bear fruits, flowers, dismay,
Forest trail visit saw wildflowers,
Significant short, divine power,
Live for a day with smiles, happiness, joy,
Seen humans lack none, enjoy,
Envy felt their thrill throbs,
Mansions men, rich time rob,
Reasons for arrogance, ego, anger,
Crippled ultimate trail discover,
A trail shows wildflower grass,
Humility softness symbol task,
Trailblazer human learns trails,
Scantly fail in life, winner hail,
Watch O life trail disastrous,
Landslide flood avalanche rush,
Human life symbolizes the trial, hesitates,
At every turn, it happens to instigate,
Thousand years men traveled,
Cross mountain pass unveiled,
The trail, an enigma of memories,
Felt tears, human face miseries,
The trail for peace, joy, love, and wait
Civilization still examines debate,
Still searching, mysterious trail,
Suffering humanity starve wail.

HOUR OF SILENCE

 

HOUR OF SILENCE

Let the heart be strong, fight,
Broken spirit and feel upright,
Show the dark hours frighten,
End of the world life awaken, (1)

Years of tireless toil and labor,
Minions dream, grew, prosper,
Family children and grandkids,
Glorious past change reminds (2)

Fountain of wealth and happiness,
Supreme faith, belief, or choice,
Fearless, the people find peace,
Pray for the world and practice (3)

Tension-free neighborhood,
The hub of energy they stood,
Modern times are energy-thirsty,
Dependent on the land, pretty, (4)

Changed the picture suddenly,
Assault and aggression, sadly,
Merciless attack devastations,
Thousands perished, emotions, (5)

Kids are orphans, family vanishes,
Lost shelter, food, fail to wish,
Life is important, they protest,
Alone, living, none to protect, (6)

Unite the world, shed tears not,
Establish harmony, grow effort,
May oil stop burning or smoking,
Humans gone silent, not a joke, (7)

Stand still, respect, pray hence,
Wish peacefully; hour of silence,
An astonishing aspect of life survives,
The past is a scar, hearts revive, (viii)

DIGNITY

 DIGNITY

When the slavery of centuries ended,
Bonded laborers freed, attended,
Right to make salt, cloths banned,
Banned from spinning clothes, warned, (1)

Forced to pay the annual produce,
No cost, but mercy, hunger recall,
Malnourished skeletal frame fear,
Sickness, illiteracy, human wear, (2)

The darkness, the country is divided,
Split and rule, the key, one-sided,
Protest to live imprisoned, grew,
Fight for independence, life knew, (3)

Freedom and dignity or equality,
Daydream to aspire to lose security,
Eight decades nearer hunt a past,
World Human Rights Day, long last. (4)

Achieved democracy and celebrate,
Dignity of humans time calibrates,
War clouds savage, humans fight,
Massacre, a number the news delights, (5)

Shadow of holocaust, extinction,
Violent world and commotion,
There will be no peace, freedom, or love,
Burning cities, homes souls probe, (6)

Race, religion, and the wall fail to unify,
The world clamors for peace defy,
Dignity, modesty, humans forgotten,
Conflicts, continental fights, rotten, (7)

Withstood our land, a virus spread,
Aggression violating the rule or thread,
The sun will rise and rebuild a new nation,
The dignity of humans an emotion. (viii)

POSTMAN

 

POSTMAN

The saga of human life fascinates me,
A decade passes, time modulates,
Fails imagination rustic alters,
Quiet village fields miss nature,
Teenage fantasy hook postman,
Never forgets wild run kids can,
Letter bundles in a khaki dress,
The occasion, the cycle moves,
Hot summer, rain, winter, spring,
Intoxicated village postman ring,
Far-off city elders live, work hard,
Village women seek fate's reward,
A letter, money order, telegram,
Never guess, telegram only warns,
Sick in city life, transfer or birth,
A remote village, a telegram worth
Lacks a telephone, travels long,
Postman n money order a song,
Mother looks eagerly at a few notes,
Holi is near, the festival crowd.
Desperate look for the postman to win,
Cry out loudly, family gather clean,
Nostalgic memory hunt in tears,
Tiny a letter brings joy and better,
College life village afar seek a post,
Joy and sorrow let the postman secure,
Young life, quit college, seeks a job,
Postman knocks run heartthrob,
Fountainhead of all dreams offers
Courier of good news entices pure,
In modern times, notice all the hair is gray,
Postman misses the telephone way.
Telephone vanish mobile bit hook,
Messages, money transfers, or books,
Book purchases house, vegetable,
Rustic life grew old, search simple,
Occasional sight postman delight,
A remote village, the news brings right,
Generation change urban life new,
Often visit the sweet village home view,
Electricity, motorcycle, bus, roads
Cement home, television, water fan,
Ecstatic look at a cycle calls postman,
Village bank savings, all, post office,
Home collection of savings practice,
Village bank at the doorstep with a loan,
Landlord perish no hand loan drown,
Enchants a khaki dress n cap smile,
A humble man serves people for miles,
Familiar face affection, grace timeless,
Reads open letters to the illiterate impress.
Life succeeds, self with name and fame,
The postman, whose name I never knew,
He has the age, people can call names,
A family job asset world can’t be the same.

WAR AND PEACE

 WAR AND PEACE

 

Weak is eliminated, might show,

Week, month, and year life know,

Work is ethics, sabotaged, sadly,

Wrong conception ruled madly, (1)

 

Agony endless, unsympathetic,

Abysmal dream leads to pathetic,

Antagonized neighbors, angry,

Alerted after fights, life hungry, (2)

 

Revenge the curse, humans die,

Remote to survive hopes defy,

Renegade, a selfish view, react,

Repentance fails to heal in fact, (3)

 

Absolute discipline, inviolable,

Abominable prisoners trouble,

Aplomb, tolerate compromise,

Astonish fire extinguished rise, (4)

 

Nostalgic destruction, the dust,

Normalizes world order, cost,

Nemesis conflicts doubts trap,

Nectar of potion love yet wrap, (5)

 

Demands territories, resources,

Destroys city, village remorse,

Declare peace accord in guise,

Demonic instinct rule, precise, (6)

 

Power to make or break used,

Ponder human acts bemused,

Peril humans' destiny, cruelty

Purity rinsed the heart faulty, (7)

 

Eagle's eye landscape serene,

Awakens soul war and peace,

Confusion diminished life win,

Enable happiness, harmony, bliss. (viii)

THE JOURNEY ENDS

 THE JOURNEY ENDS

It was a bright morning, sunshine,

Orange hues in the eastern sky appeal,

Lotus buds were blooming a lot,

Flock of the birds flying, chirping, (1)

 

The azure sky, white clouds float,

A dew sparkles as a gem fades,

Unknown thrills desires weaved,

The lethargy and laziness vanish, (2)

 

Rainbows the mind creates taunt,

Life, an opportunity, socks, blunt,

Destiny, Ignoramus seeks, in vain,

Commits blunders, repeats, (3)

 

Repentance chisel the mind guide,

Collect of experience from the beehive,

Wiser the human knocks out fears,

Proceeds further milestone near, (4)

 

And counts youth and adulthood,

The achievements, failures, life repent,

A sweet home built and sold, sadly,

Flood of money recedes, find madly, (5)

 

The fame and fortune prosperity,

Lost everything in time, security,

He hears applause, praise fading,

Behind him left his past remains, (6)

 

A muddy road, palm trees, the sun,

The twilight years evening mourn,

He pedals life cycle an abode near,

Symphony of life, melancholic heart, (7)

 

No one will be there except a soul,

Reminisce the journey ends a goal,

There will be night and long sleep,

The Lord knows the next dawn rise. (viii)

HEAVEN TO EARTH

 

HEAVEN TO EARTH

Translucent bright space invites,
Tectonic plate absent sail excite,
Terrestrial features and beauty,
Terminated on Earth, assiduity, (1)

Fragrance and melody pervade,
Lack nature and the river forest,
Invisible the azure sky and could,
Missing bird, animal, marine life (2)

Nowhere the wind and storms,
The mountains and the oceans,
There is no temple of prayer,
Spirit with wings, freedom dare, (3)

True happiness and tranquility exist,
Absent name, identity, relations,
Sunrise or sunset missing, happy,
Heat of sunlight, the moonlight, (4)

Beyond the domains of death exhibit,
No birth, death, hunger, suffering,
No bitter fights, war, fire engulfs,
Little fear or horror, only pleasure, (5)

Gambling deception unheard of,
Timeless, the heavenly spirit dream
Different from the mortal world,
Pricks the perception, unknown, (6)

Dreams broken to reality, sadly,
All the aspects of the Earth, wide,
Opposite to the heaven, aspects hide,
Physical pleasure, love, and fear reside (7)

Heaven to Earth the path directs,
Heaven is in the mind, duly reflected,
Earth, the source of creation, view,
Heart wishes heavenly abode well, (viii)

THE FALLEN FLOWERS

 

THE FALLEN FLOWERS

Theater is the fireball burning anger,

Threat to the generation, younger,

Healing their wound cries failing,

Harmony forgotten horror prowling,

Enemy at the border, merciless, fear,

Endanger life, bomb, bullet, sulphur,

 

Fail humanity compassion kindness,

Fortitude to thrive beseech witness,

Aliens enter, savagery, deadly hearts,

The act of intimidation, deadly impact,

Love is a misnomer, for marauders' act,

Lesson for humans, beasts defy intact,

Lotus stolen, tender heart astonishes,

Lament, losing parents, hopes perish,

Engulf war of attrition, stolen future,

Entourage poverty, sickness, hunger,

Noble attempt crushed, kid, beseech,

Nemesis is checked, helping bewitch,

 

Flowers, beautiful creation, colorful,

Freshness, tiny kids, smile, wonderful,

Lost horizon, the scary past, sunrises,

Leaving happiness secured surprises,

Own up glorious future grow healthy,

Ocean of tears, dried humans, wealthy,

Winner, the rightful innocent defeat,

Waves of death surrender or retreat,

Enormous strength of crumpled life,

Enigma, fighting till death, thrive,

Rapport and amity the world shows,

Residue of agonies grave life knows,

Sagacious outlook builds the nation,

Sacred, the fallen flowers, emotions.

RENOUNCE

 

RENOUNCE

Left baffled, perplexed, bemused,
World change paradigm mused,
Muddy roads, an unknown village,
Years megapolis million amaze,
The change is a sudden surprise,
Failing to get an answer stays precise,
Flow a river, serenity, I disbelieve,
Canyons cemented dam thrives,
Submerge a hundred villages, sad,
A beautiful lake is required,
Modern time-changing picture,
Village lives disappear from nature,
Education skill office factories,
Humans are robotics accessories,
Works rules denote training,
An old retired health warning,
Far complex time nearer warn,
Man and machine unite in harm,
Education, skill, a curse, pride,
Weapon humans show, chides,
Reality granaries are barren, rocky,
Books still predict, time tricky,
Now, humans look back again,
The past generation wiser, regained,
Control the population to save nature,
Renounce modern wastage fear,
Plastic in the ocean river garbage,
Filth mountain high stick rage,
Lifestyle, live-in, split families,
Family bond links similarities,
Fast-disappearing men travel,
Settle abroad, get married, hail,
The footprint of the villager city,
Globetrotting humans show,
Melting point migrant change,
Amazes the world to find revenge,
Class race color discrimination,
War, recent times show, notion,
Migration for food, clothes, work,
Forget millennia yet, tribal rock,
Time demands building a home,
Renounce misuse and wastage,
Renounce automation, human,
Renounce infinite gadget scan,

LIFE IS HAPPINESS

 

LIFE IS HAPPINESS

Life and time
Happiness to live every moment,
Life is rarely an anchor to yesterday,
Life rejects a fantasy of the future,
Life loves today at the moment,
Pain, pleasure, to appear, accept,
Equanimity is a peaceful life and decent,
Pleasant time, love, kindness, all,
Cares selfless service all enthrall,
Thankful to Almighty and Destiny,
Gratitude gives life, joys many,
Experience life
Happiness is a state of my mind,
Made myself happy time remind,
When a tear rolls down the cheek,
In the sorrows of life, flow in the creek,
Found, lips drink all, yet smile,
Never let down happiness in life,
So valuable and rare is happiness,
Ever realize the truth and impress,
And it's imperfection nobility let,
The human heart perceives this late,
Eyes don't speak, yet transmit,
Highly transformative life permit,
Realize life
In the case of everybody's lifespan,
The ability of the self to change its own mind,
For better or worse, life rewinds,
Change hues of mental concepts,
Habits and perception, life intercepts,
The reality, life is most beautiful,
In the world, yet doers tread carefully,
Solves problem
Life witnesses all vanish in time...
Yet enactment remains for me,
I realize the essence of human life,
Only I make it better for me bright,
The greatest wonder unfolds life,
In life, knowing this, I ignore right,
And most of the time, and for the worse,
As a result, I suffer the action, of course,
Immense torture of conscience cast,
It has a message that recalls the last,
The realization takes a lifetime,
Happiness solves all problems, life to shine,
Divine grace
That menaces the individual strike,
Force oneself to look upon life in fright,
Fraught with life, bitter pain life suffers,
It transforms life once again, happier,
Molds meaningful, deeply significant,
Gift of the Supreme to the soul ignorant,
A key to a changing view of life,
Transformation is an experience of life,
The single key, happiness, unlocks a smile.
Life is precious and rare to count by a mile.

FIGHT BACK

 

FIGHT BACK

Life so alluring intrigues the mind,
Steal sleep, peace, patience find,
Suffered a lot, withered, console,
Endurance withstands the soul,
The cycle of temptations, feminine,
Beauty dissatisfies, thirst defines,
Where is the boundary search?
A quagmire human lust lurch,
Seen sorrow, depression, mad,
Life is a precious human reward,
Relations, bond, love, physical,
Birth to death human life wall,
Illusive opaque focus invisible,
Great is wealth, wisdom crumple,
What aspires human surprise,
Wasting lives in luxury precisely,
Material status fountain exists,
How many life broken persists,
The revenge, envy, anger, hunts,
Pristine human nature affronts
Realizes shaken finds mistakes,
Fight back past error distastes,
Detached life, silent, aloof, think,
Repentance, a great virtue linked,
Survived the disaster, stay
Humiliated women discover a way,
Orphan, slum kid fights back,
Law timely fights catch quack,
Sit, my life taught lessons track,
Thought in ripples controls lack,
The impulse, a gushing instinct,
Impending disaster says distinct,
A fight survives to cower in surrender,
Human life fights back a wonder,
The strength and courage extract,
Attachment, blind ego to contract,
Look at the grass facing strong wind live,
Uprooted a tall tree and ego belief,
Fight back humbly, soft-spoken,
Win over your enemies as a lesson,
There is a lot of hatred and violence,
Protests, non-violence, fasting,
Where encounter virulent offenses,
Fight back with service tolerances.

Fragrant flower divine permeated,
Symbol of womanhood, flower stays,
Gift of the Lord to human dismay,
unparalleled tenderness existence,
The glue to unite lives, love intense,
Soft touch heals wound alarm,
Why does society ignore, yet harm,

Frontier guard fighter mariner fit,
Educated teacher scientists delight,
Farm sector village industry spine,

Shy at veil child marriages death,
Childbirth, a fatal time of lack of breath,
Blind prejudices, women sufferers,
Generation realized girls are superior,
Equality, liberty, education, or skill,
Agonies of women end lives uphill,
Three cheers for my country's descent,
A female tribal leader is the president
Land pays respect to womanhood,
For centuries, molested, withstood,
Dawn, come, necklace wear,
Bangles vermilion Hindu wife dear,
Women are the necklace for the land,
The spine of the nation is a magic wand,
Mother Earth, nature, ocean, river,
Season bridal blossoms life secure,
Sings Lord's glory gift to humans,
Feminine aspects of women's charms,
Hindus worship as the Goddess bows,
Fertile land, corn bountiful shows.
She is a creeper necklace on the tree,
Rises to the top, fragrant flower, see,
Her hands around your neck, man,
The Lord waits for garlands, a fan!

THE MAGIC WHITE CARPET

 

THE MAGIC WHITE CARPET

Stupefied the human heart's desire,
To escape from the boundary pair,
Burning issues and scars of the past,
Bitter fights, wrangles, spats, anger, (1)

Encountered a beast, ferocious eyes,
Fangs, cruel smiles follow fearfully,
A human runs at breakneck speed,
Climbs to the mountain cliff, finds (2)

Peaceful place, the wind blows, a relief,
Found the safest place, look below,
Disappeared a bad dream sunrises, (3)

Bright blue sky instilling hope, a lot,
Miraculously sensed nature appeal,
The flying carpet, noticed, amazed,
Contemplate a far-off place, travel, (4)

Believing that paradise exists, invite,
Peace and harmony, love captivate,
Polite, gentle humans, helpful, roam,
Beautiful orchard and sweet home, (5)

Pervading fragrance hazy and petal,
Reverberate songs, music, melodies,
Stolen the identity or mortal feeling,
Forgotten gold and silver, symphony, (6)

Where death fails to touch astonish,
The mirror carries no image puzzles,
Absent thunderstorm flood draught,
No sunset or night, light translucent, (7)

A person got tired, sat mesmerized,
The magic white carpet, the dream,
Jump from the cliff, and death waits,
He returned to the world reluctantly. (viii)
