INESCABLE MEMORIES

 

INESCAPABLE MEMORIES

 

Life ever test scintillate,

In pain, sickness I rest,

Incredible pleasure joy,

Visits yet event destroy,

Coin head n tail, a toss,

Smiles n tear an emboss (1)

 

Fell sick once in a shiver,

Tremble with high fever,

Delirious a state, alone,

Asleep in a fear unknown,

Dream set a dark valley,

Alone sat in bench tally (2)

 

Failed to remember all,

A home family can’t recall,

Dark forest hunt n drop,

Shudder in the fear wake up,

Sweat lot wet limbs calm,

Weak drowsiness if balm, (3)

 

Warm tear roll face cold,

Remember teenage bold,

Immeasurable fun thrill,

Memories pass as a reel,

Dreams swell soaks past,

Forest, river, village cast, (4)

 

Float memories of a swim

Bluewater cool n joy brim,

Mango guava papaya best,

Watermelon pineapple test,

Kite flying hunt dragonfly,

River of joy, memories try, (5)

 

Curious read king n queen,

Storybook eyes glue clean,

Unravel adventures a thrill,

Sock, fear hear voice shrill,

Teenage memories enchant,

Visit a city n endless want, (6)

 

Notice self roam in a street,

Witness street lights greet,

Uneasy feel quick ran soon,

A city without star n moon,

Plenty sick, dying, rest fear,

I wake up dream fade clear, (7)

 

Dawn break bird chirps lot,

Crimson rays fell I get alert,

Wind dries up limb n fresh,

Numb a night of fever trace,

Admit life if in fear of dying,

Beg for life, Him praying, (8)

 

An incident shook severe,

Fragile life exist yet never,

Never forgot night tumult,

Crawl in crevasse I revolt,

Life only a dream I realize,

A water bubble n precise, (9)

 

Ripe age watch world sick,

Crawl thought fright thick,

Distant incident time fade,

Hallucinations yet invade,

In silence, my thoughts sail,

Inescapable memories nail, (10)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

  

 

INCORPOREAL MIRTH

 

INCORPOREAL MIRTH

 

Earth under a dark cloud,

Sunless yet thunders loud,

Summer sun blazes, hurt,

Cold winds feel fears most,

Arrival untimed if ill omen,

Festive season me frighten, (1)

 

Watch tears warm in pain,

Pandemic erase life again,

Veils future people cower,

Corona warriors in power,

Nights in curfew no crowd,

Never nation feel lot proud, (2)

 

 

Vaccination in a war footing,

Pandemic speed spiraling,

Vaccine people search jab,

States appeal center grab,

Millions daily in queue lot,

Inoculation in place effort, (3)

 

Wave after wave it spread,

Severe now million to bed,

Infected in, rise in a dragnet,

Containments to plummet,

Nation in festive season rot,

Gloom future n remorse lot, (4)

 

Nava Rati is nine days long,

Fast, prayer devotees’ song,

Entire nation watch festive,

Never before people restive,

Baisakhi Gudi padwa here,

Bihu Vishu solar new year, (5)

 

Immense happiness guise,

Lightning strike surprise,

Earth illuminates bright lot,

Pain in heart worries avert,

Descends Mother in grace,

Wipeout virus sorrow, less, (6)

 

Mother your aura brilliant,

Thousand sun pale instant,

Dispels dark shroud cloud,

Vanish illness heals proud,

Life trusts pride wide girth,

New Year renew hope birth, (7)

 

Incorporeal mind my look,

Incorporeal notions n hook,

Is it fiction n myth a doubt?

Drench in squall feel I shout,

Trust Mother Sky lighten,

No more my heart frighten,

Health emancipation I pray,

New Year dance people gay (8)

 

Incorporeal dream tears dry,

Mother assures n people try,

Discard fear avoid horror lot,

Surreal sadness events avert,

I cry in jot tears never listen,

Incredible my nation glisten, (9)

 

Ah… no more I feel n chokes,

No more destinies ever mock,

No more school kid be indoor,

People will be fresh n secure,

No mere miracle hopes worth,

I whisper incorporeal mirth, (10)

CONTUMACIOUS VIEW

 

CONTUMACIOUS VIEW

 

Long nature of self a pick,

People ever contact n sick,

Arrogance careless a look,

Ignore rule customs book,

Least repentant bold aloof,

Taunt civility imbecile goof,

You in disbelief, all I knew,

Tearful contumacious view, (1)

 

Fate distinguish rag n rich,

Favors only a few ruins each,

Fountain of fame wealth lot,

Famish fateful destitute rot (2)

 

Fortune for gate opportune,

Fantasy turns true fortune,

Favors rule, custom, rights,

Fear people oppose or fight (3)

 

Luck happens rare supports,

Like mighty spirit let gloats,

Lack of luck successes fizzles,

Lament loser sad or sizzles, (4)

 

Destiny common belief rule,

A distinction of a crown cool,

Desires met easy complete,

Descend leadership at feet (5)

 

Hear all his stories in detail,

Fate, fortune, luck does fail,

Pittance God’s grace bestow,

Custom, vanity, rule to tow,

Revolt his spirit all deprives,

World jokes dead wood vibes,

Speechless to torture in lieu,

I listen to contumacious view, (6)

 

Console a dampen spirit lot,

Human life little mean inert,

Year, month, day, hour lost,

Human lives with work most,

A yardstick of life only work,

Fate, destiny, luck al’ block, (7)

 

Man in an effort known forever,

Son of prosperity grow sure,

Spirit futile find reason vain,

Fate or God punishes, explain,

Lazy life find reason enough,

Hard works succeed tough, (8)

 

Human life on a colorful stage,

Down below earth act in craze,

All accomplish their works,

Yet returns from world lurks,

Departure dictates time due,

Convince contumacious view,

None but ignorance now hugs,

Shelters within me watch fogs,

Contumacious mind goad lot,

Conscience corrects an effort, (9)

 

The truth of a life dark mind rule,

True lived, ignorance ever fool,

Reckon soul pure wisdom fine,

My contumacious views refine,

My life, a life of common man,

Know never work, effort sham, (10)

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

HERETIC IN A MASK

 

HERETIC IN A MASK

 

Turn on a bend in the road,

Unpleasant one to goad,

Sock people seem rude,

Indecent word let brood,

Check intruders behave,

Life invites peril n grave,

Ignore, evade eyes, task,

Run prowl heretic mask, (1)

 

The enemy never fight a war,

Battlefield n border far,

The fact is enemy lurk here,

Life, security disappear,

Kid, lady, old, innocent,

God fails to save prevent,

Face, identity n purpose,

Unknown to people, it owes,

Fade peace terror spread,

Heretic in mask let dread, (2)

 

Humanity lost savage fit,

Arm, ammunitions outfit,

Compassion, kind absent,

Annihilate live, quiescent,

Blind is belief mind blank,

Theology n doctrine, hank,

Train in ethic deprives life,

Purpose to create lot strife,

City in fire arson n violent,

Heretic in mask impatient, (3)

 

If intrude across a border,

Miss event n entry record,

Faceless exist in guise lot,

Communicate collect most,

Information age war raise,

Information paralyze days,

Land paralyzes face defeat,

Heretic in mask yet repeat,

Steal data ultimate weapon,

Human greed rules if drawn (4)

 

Deep forest mountain cave,

Youth in brainwash n wave,

Disrespects People freedom,

Crumble democracy random,

Parallel court dictates death,

Target leader length breadth,

Poverty, jobless lacks of future,

Doctrine adopt death horror,

Trains youth heretic in a mask,

Human rights crumble, task, (5)

 

World peace prosperity craze,

Humanity resurrect in ways,

World unites in brotherhood,

Corona spread selfish brood,

Corona crumples n arbitrary,

Rich, poor, powerful unitary,

Save world human race task,

Serve surrender heretic mask,

Let there be peace fight virus,

Information, a path the onus, (6)

 

Equal human race color faith,

Love, care, serve, lives wealth,

Let corona take cruelty greed,

Human nature simple indeed,

Food, shelter, cloth, work, rest,

All opulent in equal wisest best,

Human is intelligent, future plan,

Generation grows, rot embalm,

Rot is a myopic heretic in a mask,

Heals fast n cure friendly bask, (7)
