THIRST
Besmirch ambit of life and
death,
The silver line differs
spellbound,
Glacial stare darkness,
associate,
Thin translucent partition,
relate, (1)
Fails to cross unearthly
stillness,
Vibrant light sparkling energy
lit,
Bewitch spectral colors,
radiate,
Thirst the minute thickness
wall, (2)
Bifurcates living and dead,
exists,
The parched lips, dry throat,
lists,
Touch holy book praying to live
bow,
A droplet of water moist lips
owe, (3)
Witness a dreary desert
blinding,
Blisters hot sun above or
timing,
The dune torturous slopes lay,
Human proceeds, water dismays,
(4)
Dreams of a blue lake wavy
surface,
Runs quickly perished, with no
trace,
Mirage viewed in life
voluminous,
Depicts oasis greenery
precious, (5)
Thirst plays havoc theater
scare,
Human life is delicate, a
nightmare,
Look at villages, failed
monsoon,
Parched fields dried, high
noon, (6)
Lifeless craters are a stark
contrast,
Peasants squat on the
mid-field,
Look at the blinding sun
search,
Alas, if there is a dark cloud
lurch, (7)
No trace of rain, the season
passed,
Dried wells pond spell
harassed,
Dried river streams,
serpentine,
Lost into sand bed stare
famine, (viii)
The sight of a rustic woman, a
pitcher,
Walked miles to collect water,
Thirst torture polluted water
link,
Game of life and death, life
sink, (9)
Thirst step into morbid
intention,
Not water spirit, not water,
moan,
Thirst experience mind
besmirch,
Expose humanly greediness itch,
(10)
Loot funds for irrigation
diverted,
Left people to dry season wicked,
Thirst is the ruler of mind
absolute,
Spread territory, leave water
mute, (11)
The human mind is thirsty to
amass gold,
Never permit thirst, satiate
scold,
Infinite ambitions ambit
flatten,
Lust fuels thirsty mind
frighten, (12)
Humans can cheat, fabricate
lies,
Fail to satiate thirst heart
belies,
More dangerous predators roam,
Than sandstorm on desert home,
(13)
Perishes weak and poor hungry,
Thirst the name besmirch angry,
How much thirst O man thirsty,
Look at silken fair skin
feminine, (14)
Know well thirsty eyes,
devilish,
How many girls, life is
nightmarish,
The devil empire thirst rule
bunt,
Waylaid a mind life-death
stunt, (15)
Thirst lure lust lost nature
sheer,
Thirst for gold, power,
position,
Thirst lures property, land
mourn,
A drop of water life-thirsty
scorn. (16)
