SURRENDER TO OCCULT

 

Grew in life in absolute faith,

Surrender to Lord only wealth,

Neither material gain nor lust,

Neither greed nor revenge host,

Neither anger nor hatred ever,

Detachment for life pious ever,

Trust God, speak truth, peaceful,

Simple life, humble, forgive cool,

The attraction for female charms trap,

Gold, jewels, assets, desire wrap,

Divine mind, God loves who reject,

Embrace ascetic family life perfect,

Life passed, the river flows near the ocean,

Ever performed for rules in motion,

Pretension in guise, deceive somber,

Lies, negative attitudes ever allure,

Not me, not he, humanity adopt,

Forgot God-knowing, cover aloft,

Read sacred books in all faith clear,

Good deeds please Him, life secure,

Bad deeds, evil practice betray Him,

Comfort, luxury, passion grab clean,

Who dares, does shares name n fame,

God is fabulous hype practice insane!

Such is wild mind, the ignorant wise fool,

Deny forthright as truth, commit cool,

Birth of hypocrisy in human mind best,

Pain, misery, surrender to occult infest,

Escape from crime, misdeeds, mind con,

Occult practices sweep human awesome,

 

Lemon, chili string in homes wards off evil,

New vehicle burst lemon before runs wheel,

Red vermilion, glass bangles on a new bike,

The idol of God adores a new car, a protector like?

Wishes in life never achieved with effort,

Fasting, penance, rolling in street most,

Walking on burning charcoal win favor,

Needles on mouth, nose, perforate cure,

Young women marry dog, animals, tree,

Only to ward off the evil planet, later get free,

Cat is a domestic pet, humans love, care,

Same people on the journey back, a cat stare,

Treat as an ill omen, fear failure, accident,

Incredible human mind occult is decent,

World over in all culture, faith nice accent,

Slaughter of animals, sacrifice to Goddess,

An offer of saving hair for baby, widow impress,

Vermilion circle at the forehead, bangles secure,

Sacred wristband, symbols, life feel pure,

Tarot, parrot, horoscope future details,

Occult practice welcome, trust prevails,

Under ban Sati, the self-immolation of the widow,

Eon of dark faith, surrender to occult shadow,

Power corrupts, absolute power blinds,

Human temptation corrodes, occult minds,

Supernatural powers, mind hallucinates,

Pleasing through occult practices satiate,

Through the blood of the living, self pain immense,

Fasting, penance, acquire boon in sense,

God’s abode is the brightest, dark world stealth,

Without seeking the divine, leads happy in filth,

Happiness, sorrows, smile, comfort, tear, pain,

Realized surrender to Almighty, occult insane.

 

 

 DEMEANOR'S GRANDMOTHER

The heart is a honey bee searches tireless,

Love resembles honey, tests sweetness,

Teenage budding senses, heart blossoms,

Feeling, sound, sight, taste, touch awesome,

Love as honey satiate heart hungry most,

Childhood budding mind, love never lost,

Mature life gradual, love own fascination,

Searches from family, friend, communication,

The mind loves demeanor, care, time, fondness,

Heart seek closeness, loving gesture impress,

As adult realized love never overwhelm,

Purity yes, silent expectations in the chain,

Father loves son, for discipline, obedient,

Mother loves child for exam result decent,

Teacher loves student found the least indecent,

Friend love on the share, matching sentiment,

Elders love a kid, humble, simple, silent,

Neighbors love friendly smile, lack incessant,

Grandpa’s love immense without motive,

Loving time, shares, mood quite emotive,

Remember childhood grandmother’ love,

Matching with mother’s love, anger dissolves,

Undiluted, always, her askance mean little,

Never saw her angry, patience least brittle,

Teenage life, tears, hurt, ma, papa got angry,

Mistakes prone in life, accident or hungry,

Crestfallen in poor result, teacher rebuke,

Felt insulted before a friend, threw a notebook,

Quarrel with a neighbor mate, get scold a lot,

Denied request, father forget promise most,

Mother visit away from home, leaving alone,

Sit sullen brood, protest in fast most often,

Decades after wonder, clueless how all melt,

Grandmother’s caress, loving whispers dealt,

Assure friend Grandma, night s were a charm,

Stories of kings, princess, prince, in bed warm,

Sleep creeps stealthy, her presence secure,

Fear of ghost, demons, punishment disappear,

Remember sharing snacks with her, fun,

Walking in the park hand in hand under the sun,

Sleeping in her lap, paradise in dreams,

Quick asleep takeover like milk n creams,

Her evening prayers, utterances with bead,

Her visit to the temple, company none to head,

Remember her simple life, pious, much kind,

Her fasting every month, simple diet remind,

Adult age surprises, her pain, sadness hide,

Her eyes so much loving, smiles, rules decide,

Century ago Grandma as a goddess was living,

Group family was our home, demeanor enchanting,

Parents respected her, her words respected,

She was family head, advises motivated,

Century fade with her charisma in course,

Generation see family fractured, atom worse,

Adulthood seeks life partner, kids only,

Couple seeks my way or highway selfishly,

So often broken homes collapse kid’s life,

New aspiration, dreams, family under the knife,

Grandparent, parent all vanish from the kid,

So sad, heart, throb, lost a time indeed,

Inquire, mind nostalgic, encompass slow,

Demeanor's grandmother loves heart glow.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

THE TEACHER DEMEANOR

 

Boyhood an age, mind ever restless,

Interaction with elders, warn distress,

Heart spring forth sudden, run wild,

Headmaster eyes in school turn mild,

His looks so fearful, never scold child,

Punishments kneel down, anger hide,

His class pin drop silence, chalk speed,

Blackboard gets full, notebook to read,

Class missed, well remember, question,

Mindful for students, answers do listen,

Gentle, soft-spoken, never with smiles,

Alert always in class, simple in styles,

A pen in pocket, long sticks, a register,

Enters class, all stand, attendance usher,

Senior boys, girls respect as God in mold,

Teachers all obedient, treat advice as gold,

So also students get inspired alike well,

Distances from head master rings a bell,

Bell is in mind curios a heart never task,

Never witness tired, in class least relax,

Half a century ago, small town know,

A person modest, truthful, decent show,

Never saw a quarrel with any, pacify nice,

Well behaved with parents, great surprise,

Failure in exam, disturbing children,

Infinite care, guidance, melts harden,

Interaction brief, office ever silent work,

Results, sports, picnic, functions as a clock,

Clean school, dress, the image brought pride,

Small town honor demeanor, well preside,

Decades after a student, look back, amaze,

Humble, modest life, ideal, his knowledge,

His demeanor steam press our upbringing,

Turn doctor, politician, lawyer, engineer wing,

Search within us, compare with demeanor,

Assets, positions, fame flourish, match minor,

Never realized in life ethics matchless rare,

Ponder intensely retired, why we can’t share,

Our certificates of honor owes all credit,

Prime age headmaster tendered till exit,

A huge world-traveled lot, met nice people,

The demeanor of the teacher built us simply

TWILIGHT CITY

 

Earth spins ceaseless brittle beauty,

Dazzles a populace bright capital city,

A couple of centuries ago, hopes of the race,

Language, literature, commerce trace,

Millennia roll back earth spin, wonder,

The river, lifeline of land export splendor,

The city on the bank of a river, a harbor,

Boats sail far off in the ocean, spices flavor,

Nine-yard cotton cloth superfine, exotic,

Fit well in bamboo core space, majestic,

Forest cover, treasure, rich in mineral,

Dense forest animal, products, herbal,

Island people enamored exotic goods,

The great land of the race, towns to woods,

Rich in gold, jewels, architect, temple,

Unique rock carvings, threadworks assemble,

A month after Dussehra, boat festival,

Celebrations of voyages immemorial,

The city observes past glories of sailors,

Once the capital of the land n race valor,

The fort in ruins stands reminds well,

Invasion n surrender of the city, tragedy dwell,

People under invaders looted blindfold,

Alien culture fractured race multifold,

Illiteracy, poverty, hunger, illness,

Twilight city wailed mercy in distress,

Colonial rule, city capital, influence,

Rose in colonial education, business,

Region of a people proud of language,

United again, culture, the city had an image,

Earth spins to centuries, city prosper,

River transit, transport of good better,

Boats in the riverbank, cartload goods,

City accumulate crops, colony moods,

Loot through the river to ship in sea most,

The spine of a people broke, self-respect lost,

The city called through fiery poet ignite,

O’ skeletal of race unite n stand upright,

Break the chain of bondage for freedom,

Remember valiant past, richest kingdom,

The city turned fountainhead, resurrection,

Leaders grew in city, affected lava molten,

Inspired the city, born a state for a race,

One language, a dance, host tribal face,

Earth spins further on-axis, a lost capital,

Ruling machinery missing, decline gradual,

River transport vanishes, river sand bed,

Traffic turns to roadways, vehicles thread,

Twilight of a citizen in years, in warm tears,

Missed celebration of the voyage, boats this year,

The city is losing again glories, miss fiery leaders,

Twilight city witness, darkness rises in the ladder,

The prime pace of education, culture, business,

Twilight city laments, everything slow loses,

No theater, poets, writers, singers, doctors,

No more the city boasts on motion pictures,

No more center of business, commerce, export,

Arteries of dark lanes, two rivers dry bed adopt,

Fear spinning globe atlas spin further shiver,

The twilight city calls to a halt, vanishing forever.

 

IMMANENCE

 

Rare a moonless clear sky in the night,

Gazes on roof millions of stars bright,

Luminous milky way, galaxy only visible,

Countless galactic stars evolve incredibly,

Eons birth and vanish to oblivion enact,

Silent sky, night simmers, twinkles tact,

Lost in thought with a deep sigh, ah creator,

How controls phenomenal cycles, wonder,

Thought of blazing light of midday sun,

Blistering heat sunlight, dry earth burn,

Infinite energy, a space universe in control,

Benevolent or destroyer, timeless actor,

Green earth reflects glories n presence,

At dawn, dusk enchanting luminescence,

Millennium human alert mind sings,

Deep prayers in desert, greens rings,

Share fathomless sorrows, the joy of heart,

Absolute trust creator listens, cure first,

Thousands of years Kashi, ancient city love,

 The sacred river flows, purify ash dissolve,

Ghat dragged population timeless prayer,

Offering holy water, cleanse sins to pure,

River of life from Himalayan height move,

Immerse in the river, holy dip, salvation solve,

The city searched realization to bondage,

The cycle of birth n death break, freedom craze,

The linked human soul in the essence of creator,

Deathless, beyond express, timeless pure,

Passionately search, divine wish, in essence,

Amazing world, the saga of humanity immanence,

Subtle His presence in every living, inert,

World escapes to the oblivion of past, ever lost,

New realm discover unmanifest mysteries,

Every moment, dark unconsciousness dies,

Divine gesture, luminous conscious arrives,

Pandemic divine prosecution new millennium,

Human hopes, dreams of world peace dawn,

Nature accommodative existence, new creation,

Infinitely surpassing, our most wild imagination,

Wrath of alert divine, elements force devastate,

Nature’s wrath a microbe virulent quick predate,

Long immersed in His splendor, alone in silence,

Heaved a sigh, a star vanish like, the sun loses presence,

Creation, to oblivion divine plans to cycle in essence,

Sacred waters of river flows serene sing eloquence

Corona erased, New Year joy thrills hope confluence,

The new world, new creation, realize His immanence.
