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.

A STEP TO THE SKY

 

A STEP TO THE SKY

Hovers rain clouds, thunderstorms,
Lightning, blazing missiles norms,
Like weather, as humans change,
Devastation elimination to carnage, (1)

Approach the twenty-first century,
Science to technology brings injury,
Artificial intelligence machination,
Know no love, kindness, compassion, (2)

Civilization rose to the zenith, ruined,
Bitter fight aggression alas entwined,
Continue still in this age blind action,
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)

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

SPRING AFTER YOU LEFT

 

SPRING AFTER YOU LEFT

Pregnant Mother Earth delivered,
Exploding flowers fragrant, say allured,
Stayed acute scent spread link longing,
Physically, the heart, limb, soul, belonging, (1)

Magical mirages, musical nights, listen,
Mango grooves Cuckoo sings pristine,
The meadows, lingering shadows tear,
Felt losing another day whisper here, (2)

A gentle cold breeze shivered the spine,
Green till the horizon wildflowers shine,
Blue sky, lazy white clouds floating,
Intoxicated honey bees searching (3)

Indescribable peace and bliss, visible,
Hilarious moments, conjugate simple,
Bedecked with flower plants, parks,
Couples, children play the instinct mark, (4)

No more cold wind, winter night hail,
Cattle grazing, basking serenely well,
Blue stream and foamy water at the rock,
No more the oasis in sight, life in sock, (5)

The desert, blistering hot sunshine,
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)

Wait desperately, Earth is present,
No more war destruction to resent,
Heartrending pictures flashing, bereft,
Tearfully waiting, spring after you left. (viii)

 IMPECCABLE EPISODE

Surprised the heart memories stay,
Departed at a time, desperately delayed,

Jumping on the earth, wet grass, in gay, (2)

Cactus today blooms, vanishes strife,
Memory is a rock heart chisels hail,

Merely sight the scent, voice alert,

Hand in hand with a young man, a loom,
Different lives differ in the world essays,
Children in future years, the message, (7)

The bagpiper's drumbeat procession,
Long past a marriage, lurks emotion,
Who churns the heart, a girl records,
Frock to oil lamp impeccable episode, (viii)

GARNOR SUPPORT

 

GARNER SUPPORT

Labyrinth of thoughts coiled, suppressed
Agonies of the past torment and depress,
Windows closed; a room spreads darkness.
For long, tears dried counter distress, (1)

The secret chamber of the heart is locked,
The voice of the soul choked; life is choked.
The untold story of life is mercilessly blocked,
An unfortunate situation exists; life mocks. (2)

Friends and foes are not easily recognized.
Past mistakes, haunting tortures, derail.
Hope against hope, frustrations swell;
Fame and fortune vanished; a time prevails. (3)

To survive, think while still living, a surprise.
Turns of sorrow wait for the future; otherwise,
A window to the world opens a surmise.
Human life expects glorious days to rise. (4)

Open the room, and the wooden chamber stays.
Unravel the coiled threads in dismay.
Vaporize misery and sadness; find a way.
Fresh wind through a window, pray. (5)

The sun rises; a lotus kisses the sunlight.
The happiest is a lily in the pond at night.
The full moon showers silvery light, delight,
Happy tears and romantic mood insight. (6)

He sits in the adjacent room, now wider.
She reclines her head on a shoulder,
Confessing her pathos expressed in order.
A lighter, heavier heart, a broader smile. (7)

Difficulty comes unannounced; wail,
Vanishes so quickly; a beloved quells.
Opens her heart, mind, and soul, rapport,
Unquestioningly garnering support. (viii)

HERE FLOWS LOVE

 

HERE FLOWS LOVE

Loved life, passionate desires,
Fame and fortune yet inspire,
The mirror reflects images perfectly,
Hide emotions thought rightly, (1)

How many hope dreams flow,
Eyes, a guise, well scarcely show,
A nostalgic past, and romance,
Time has stolen, finding no chance, (2)

Thrills and throb in heart sway,
Peace and love drying, display,
Burdens of life or a nightmare,
Awake nightlong, sadly share, (3)

She missed childhood and fun,
No longer her youth she mourns,
The wild heart, rebellious, resists,
Whispers for patience persist, (4)

A dawn will dispel the darkness,
Bright sunshine, nature impresses,
There flows the quiet river, it reflects,
The peak observes and detects (5)

The azure sky, an orange color paint,
The horizon, mountain, life discovers,
Eternal truth, timeless a message,
Erases pain wounds, fear, assuages (6)

Lonely, her mind scans the world,
Not the concrete jungle emerald,
Gentle wind, a spark, life aimless,
Inviting her soul to follow impress, (7)

Her experience freedom, pleasure,
Here flows love, realizing, forever,
Lurks her smile, tears dried, found
Soul spreads wings, song resounds. (viii)

Reverberate jubilation mind wild,
Alas, the event changes painful yield,
The cycle of happiness, broken heart,
Escorts life, new horizon impact, (1)

Brick by brick builds a human's stay,
Defy elimination cement again lay,
Love and bond thicker than blood,
Rebuilt after the destruction act prod, (2)

A wise person moves, builds a home,

Not the mere house but the country,
Devastated by war draught entry, (4)

Unity, brotherhood, cooperation,

Human life resembles a fate of defeat (5)

Crestfallen, sudden demise attack,
Crumbles courage balance track,
Loses vision, forward weak, fearful,
Lost happiness, peace, life, sorrowful, (6)

Brick by brick, a human builds life,
Cement is the renovation, erase strife,
Infinite belief, hard-working effort,

Forgetfulness graced him, stable,
Wish renovation life home ample. (viii)

ASPIRATION AND HOPE

 

ASPIRATIONS AND HOPE

Dry winter cold winds blow a tragic,
Leafless tree silhouette writes magic,
Emblem human saga prosperity wane,
Heart and mind are skeletal life insane, (1)

No greenery, flowers, fruits, or tree wear,
Lingering shadow at sunset raises fear,
Resemble a life without activity, well,
Assembles sorrows breathless derail, (2)

No bird is seen reluctant to its nest,
Flies to distant forests, finds the best,
No friends or foes, families rejected,
Like the labyrinth of branches rested, (3)

Absent the cool shade in a hot summer,
Cattle and cowherd man no more,
Poverty erases lustier glamour soon,
Stand today face icy wind, life mourns, (4)

Season changes, rain comes, visibly,
Wet earth fuels aroma leaf sensibly,
Branches turning gradually green,
Lifts the body from the ground, seen (5)

The graceful branches swing happily,
To write the tree died thinking, silly,
Disgraced, humiliated, a soul defiant,
Praise, peruse a personality radiant, (6)

Spring comes, blossoms on every branch,
Laden with fruit ripe at a time, it enchants,
Noble deeds, young life is admirable,
Needy look forward to help, are able, (7)

Icy weather and the bare fall branches,
Sunlight's golden rays are beautiful watches,
Frustration and rootless thought elope,
Matchless, exist aspirations and hope, (viii)

THE PROMISE, A REMINDER

Slept on a bed of grass, saw stars,
Winking in the dark, messaged well,
Fragrant lavender shared purple hues,
A gentle breeze swept in, swell (1)

Moistened face, arms refreshed and wet,
The moon rose in the west, bright,
Dreamweaver, sleepy time intimate,
Returned to a wooden cottage, a sight (2)

Morning watched the golden aura peak,
Snow-capped mountains radiate, yet wish,
The scenery, an alluring trick of nature,
Speechless, the snowy slopes cherished, (3)

Crystal clear blue stream, foamy rocks,
Melodious, the music of a wandering ship,
A waterfall, hovering birds bring socks,
A paradise on earth, awe-inspiring, (4)

Snow flecks of icy weather blanket white fields,
Firewood burned, warming shivers of life,
Ethereal silence, pin-drop time shields,
A time for departure yet still surrendering, (5)

An incident in prime youth, experience,
Money-gold matters in a concrete world,
High-rise towers, flyovers, traffic sense,
Distant memories, sadly lost words, (6)

Scary present time, tension, and worries,
Buses, trains, flights, and the rush terrify,
Hooked to a situation surrounded by misery,
To break free from horror will intensify (7)

Returning today, back to the panorama,
The past golden times allure, I remember,
Fakeness and falsity of life are drama,
In a valley with promise, a reminder, (viii)

DREAMY AMBROSIA

 

DREAMY AMBROSIA

Stubborn egos refuse, surrender,
Reject impending peril face here,
Ugly appearance terrorizes the heart,
Unreal trap mind sadness enact,
Canvas night sketch a quagmire,
The Idiocy of summer squall inspires,
Whirlwinds, lightning, and thunder,
Disappear, soon thoughts blunder,
Forget memory, life learns to smile,
New hope desire lo, torture sterile,
Adamant heart hurt, will amnesia,
Redraw canvas dreamy ambrosia,
Erase night rains arrive in June, well.
Green mountain and waterfall quell,
Quell the holistic state of mind sound,
Ego worthwhile and ambrosia sound,
Riverine meadows, flowery beds nit,
Wild bees roam, happy pollen greets,
Highlights, purple lavenders steal,
Draw ambrosia pollen grains heal,
Heals midsummer’s night n plight,
Paint pandemic scenes, miss right,
Nature’s ambrosia entices my color,
Swollen rivers rain in forest allure,
Mortal, I know to quit, a realm false,
Ambrosia is food, immortal impulse,
Soul metamorphoses, honey bee, ire,
Draw my soul suck honey of desire,
Pollinate the ambrosia flower with pollen,
Pollinate my canvas, love all woolen,
Autumnal leafless trees to decorate,
Humans love good hopes, faith rotates,
End of the night of quagmire phenomenal,
Wonderfully, my dream world does rival,
Food is medicine, fresh and clean air,
Blue-water of springs fit limbs hire,
Honeycomb, I draw and nectar reserve,
Dreamy ambrosia, my canvas serves,
Ambrosia, I dream, night intoxicate,
Ideal dawn dreamy ambrosia trait.

FIRE AND FLOWER

 

FIRE AND FLOWER

Ancient humans worshipped the sun,
Auspicious moments inspired dawn,
Fire from stones, a convex lens appears,
Gunpowder missiles, cities disappear, (1)

A newborn child is warmed with fire
Auspicious sacred ceremony fire care,
An oath over fire, seven rounds hail,
Promise to be faithful in marriage, well, (2)

Green hills, forests, skyline, mountain,
White foam creates a rainbow fountain,
Waterfalls, the noise, the thrilling sight,
Wildfire on the top devastates fright, (3)

Cremation fire eliminates existence,
From birth to wedding, death sense,
The light dispels darkness, mind afire,
Anger, jealousy, and discrimination (4)

There is the heath, wild grass, flowers,
Another world, fragrant love shower,
Exchanges roses, jasmine messages,
Expression of the heart life proposes (5)

The sweet existence for moments,
Flowery bed dries emotion laments,
The wind, water, soil, and greenery here,
The river lotus pond intensely allures, (6)

Opposite side of nature, flowery felt,
Burning, towering inferno lives melt,
The executive, beautiful nature stays,
Deliberately deliver life, natural way, (7)

Fire and water for food boiled boon! (viii)

MISSING YOU FOR YEARS

 

MISSING YOU FOR YEARS

Memories of the childhood hunts,
Ripe golden paddy field yet taunts,
Run among waves, standing crops,
Scent of burning straw time elopes, (1)

Sugarcane fields play hide & seek,
Cherish juicy stems in the shade, pick,
Remember a tea shop atop the hill,
Cycling down a road at speed, we feel, (2)

A kayak among mango grove rows,
We stole ripe mangoes from a tree, low,
The gardener ran after us we escaped.
Sat under a tree, observed the landscape, (3)

Swam in the river, both playful and tired,
Threw a stone into a pond we admired,
Collect a lotus offer to a temple priest,
Eventful lives etched, writes the list, (4)

Fate and destiny are different, friend.
You left for college, and I cultivate trends,
Deciding on overseas life, you had chosen,
Attachments in the heart do not loosen (5)

Search behind the school in the fields,
Floating your loud calls imagery yields,
How soon our lives passed, never knew,
Dreams even today arrive hopes anew, (6)

Lonely in the fields, the river, a pond, sad,
Separation from each other links inward,
The village school master still remembers,
Hens calls in the morning today, I surrender, (7)

The bond and love ever search eagerly,
At sunrise, check the arrival time early.
Confess and confide to you, feel tears,
At the bus stop, missing you for years, (viii)

BETTER HALF

 

BETTER HALF

Generation after generation, trust diminishes,
Growing rivalry, selfishness, and bitterness,
How many broken homes,
Are separations and betrayals visible?

Still, couples in romance seem less sensible!
Both are working with secret salaries.
Expenditure is a matter of whim,
One fell sick, another eloped,
Helpless is a husband or wife,
Problems scarcely develop,
Remarried, forgetting the past romance,
Children's fate and future remain uncertain
This is the study where the course is missing.
Between the lines, the topic promises.
Top executive careers foster a luxurious lifestyle.
Decades ago,
Husbands and wives lived different lifestyles,
Old age visits, his wife by his side with a spoon,
Medicine and water—it's the Lord's boon,
The wife stumbles; her husband picks her up quickly.
Money is a small saving shared willingly,
The husband urinates and vomits,
His wife cleans without hesitation,
The abiding faith and trust in the heart are resilient
Live till the last breath,
Octogenarians question what wealth is.
It is not the mercy of the Lord or his grace,
Better half at the side, diminishing access!

BENEFACTOR

 

BENEFACTOR

Dark night rain, cats and dogs,
The downpour flooded the water frogs,
An empty street hunting sight is sad,
Lonely soul on a bench, life mad,
I was astonished, all forgotten him,
Death avoids touching the lay whim,
Lost his family fortune, friends,
Succumbed situation defends,
Yet everything is lost, life exists,
The nightmarish horror resists,
Lifted and taken forcibly to the hospital,
Survive, build subsequent capital,
Turned businessman, fate actor,
Fail to know how to be a benefactor,
The event was not an exceptional trial,
Saving unfortunate lives, quell,
Human lives see loss suddenly,
Absurd, the realm changes, sadly,
The healing hand is unforeseen,
Provide strength to survive clean,
Examined the human aspect of play,
Lord decides on His game display.
Break and make to build to ruin,
Benefactor Lord acts in between
A wise spirit learns to donate; however,
Erase Hunger provides shelter,
The mere act of service gives peace,
Benefactor, the Lord lays justice
Feed a cow, watch happiness,
Wagging its tail, a dog was impressed,
Feed birds on the roof in summer,
Plant trees exist for nature
Conserve water, provide service,
Innumerable examples of justice,
Seen orchards, roadside trees,
Free hospitals monastery lies,
Pilgrims helped provide goods,
Adverse weather, human escort,
Donation of blood is voluntary,
Benefactors know their duty to worry
Angels, sage Lord's children,
To help others awaken their life,
Benefactor actions are remorseless,
Humanity safeguards impresses.

LUMINARY

 

LUMINARY

Awestruck, the soul cries encounter,
Heartbreaking sorrow lives with sufferers,
Understand human issues, analyze,
Dedicates a precious life to precision
Vision miraculous to eradicate pain,
Manuscripts get famous lit fountains,
Those who were crying uplifted stay,
Joyous their lives smiling exist, sway,
The books changed their lives, sadly.
Unscrupulous, anonymous, awkwardly,
Far from the milling crowd, metro living,
Ordinary life unknown prefers writing,
The spirit only smiles when witnessed,
Deprived, suffering lives smile, impress,
The person watches and cries in happiness,
His writings influence the progress,
Less asked for an award, reward, or present.
Preferred self preferred works decent,
Nascent is the acute emotion spirit,
Dying lives recover, strengthen right,
O humans, get up and fight life, precious,
Stand up, think strength is miraculous,
Hundreds realized, then thousands,
Now a million acknowledge demands,
Who is he? How come he changed easily?
His books are now famous and sell quickly,
Simply his trick of secrecy for service,
To dedicate life to helping others, price,
Infinite peace, joy, happiness lit,
One day, humans quit, feeling delighted,
Has seen a dying one survive to smile,
Has seen hungry life got food style,
Has seen children attend education,
Has seen society undergo a transformation,
The spirit became famous decades later,
Abode modest visiting place allure,
Sad thing, mysterious the world says,
Search for the person no more, dismay,
Left the world took nothing to ponder,
Masterly writing scripts book wonder,
The soul of the person luminous stayed,
Luminary, the books, poorly displayed,
Illumination, not gold, jewelry, includes
Luminary illuminates the ages pursued.
