AFRAID

 


AFRAID

 

Love my world enormously happy,

The infinite thrill overwhelmed me,

Curious once being a chick looking at,

Nest, I never built but safe and secure,

Found inviter godly to the abode of humans,

Learned profusely love and care pristine,

Abundant the fountain of love discovered,

Thanked life nourished well and grew,

The infinite concern for illness alerts,

A pair of hearts shared defeat sickness,

A small amount of happiness I exhibit,

Parents' awful warmth permeates intensely,

The small lane blind end opens to town,

Opportunities came flooded hopes,

Never aspired mansions sprawling gardens,

Aristocracy to acquire falls obscurity,

This was the inspiration of poor parents,

Taught to be honest, sympathetic, loving,

Remember, today stands alone here,

In the dead of night, the town fell asleep,

Torturous, piercing silent night ghostly,

Stands in front of our home once I grew up,

Vacant and locked for years hunting,

Remember forgot my parents,

Dreams of limitless wealth women,

Elegant attractive induced lusty heart,

Move far continent the divide faced,

Pay for every handshake, kiss, or wine,

Earn work diehard addict dream,

This is a dreamland where to achieve,

Success is to annihilate wished others,

Cruel yet smiles envy sprouting buds,

Tag charismatic enigma overpowering,

Surgical removal of opponents in joy,

I am he musk permeates to hypnotize,

Tomorrow is the big challenge stolen,

Know that people search for heroes only,

Forget abysmally heartless ignore,

To fight is right kill free will bedevil,

Devil not for human life but to exploit,

Thoughts of emotions swept past,

Like a cine motion incessant display,

Ah accomplished rich and famous,

I knew father was sick, moneyless,

Never he communicated, lack of money,

Lack of treatment Mom intimated,

I read her letters, felt sad, forgot,

Overwhelmed with luxury pleasure in life,

Never could imagine Mom was alone,

Suffering due to the same reason, poverty,

In the last letter knew she was ill, bedridden,

Job blocked totally business merciless,

Cannot leave million to lose in a day,

The greed waylaid mischievously felt right,

The Community sent a letter to sell the house,

Found this lane is same, lamp post exists,

Opened the lock, empty parents' album,

Wall frames dust-covered mushroomed,

My parent's bedroom was intact, empty,

The hollowness gave an acute-pain, in me,

Life passed, auburn hairs ripped white,

The pink aura bright skin is wrinkled,

Now realizes it is past midnight for life,

The dawn will break soul will spread wings,

Fly far off then away was my flight,

Never look back at the loved frame,

I stood in front of the home a ghost,

The silhouette was sill now less afraid!

TAINTED

 



TAINTED

 

 

Impulsive human instinct acts,

An uncontrolled mind is rebellious,

Capitulates heart instantly willingly,

Life never grumbles, dares limits,

Limit is a myth, paranoid views,

Human life is precious, born to love,

Love, self-nature, innocent, decent,

Demands the community to accept,

Less prefers heart criticism  react,

Love only matters the heart imitates,

Tell frankly observed love undiluted,

The least polluted elixir is succulent,

The face to tidbits, eyes, nose, lips,

Females' hair long, to the knees, black,

Simple eye bows, accent, voice,

Word can melt heart seeks soul,

Minute the gait, gesture, demeanor,

Catches imagination, the mind trapped,

A volume of a novel to describe,

Insufficient how love is defined,

Instantly catch fire, unconscious,

Burn heart feels a missing presence,

Runs life impatiently to associate,

Fails to fathom custom prejudice,

Refuse to accept rules knows life,

Transient nature life falters loses,

This happened to my girlfriend,

High society, family if upper caste,

Fair-complexioned, intelligent, tall,

Matching my height in merit,

Rest, I missed her height in class,

Born poor caste differs between families,

A year after success  in recruitment,

The training period for administration,

We liked each other and grew intimacy,

Before joining the service separating,

Packing our luggage, catching a flight,

The direction of our destination home,

Opposite directions distinguished,

Language, state, custom, different,

Families unfamiliar, strange situations,

It dawned upon both similar feelings,

What parents will say when to listen,

How to treat the proposal sealed,

Thinking I knew backgrounds,

Widely differing, require strong effort,

The girlfriend's parent educated understood,

Evaluated positively on merit nature,

My family was illiterate, chained to caste,

Objected to when heard my decision,

Marrying in  the upper caste is not permitted,

Possibility of being outcaste foreseen,

A few days at home churned my heart,

Love never differentiates caste color,

Affect less class and status,

I left home, didn't inform my parents,

We got married in the court, joined services,

Fortunately, placed in one city,

The fact her parents got the information,

My family rejected to give consent,

They were silent, knew the caste system,

Underlined our senior officer status,

A few years later, our child grew,

Demanded to meet grandfather,

Loved meeting the grandmother,

We were in a fix, decided to visit,

Met parents later, at my home,

Stayed for a few days the matter settled,

Returned to our working place, both,

Received a letter, parents outcast,

Community banned reception meetings,

Denied water, fire, social custom,

Our love, a red rose treated tainted.

UNDERTONE

 


UNDERTONE

 

Come dear to the temple of  the Lord,

It is time to express our gratitude,

Season completing a circle is so kind,

Our lives could solve problems a lot,

Unacceptable situation messiah saw,

Evening hours quiet when frightens heart,

 I felt holy lines from the Bible vibrate,

Calming consequences are often noticed,

Who dear watched our trouble neatly,

Planned beforehand clears obstacles,

Let us walk, hands clasped together,

Let perfumed candlelit prayer deep,

Reverence let overflow shine tears,

Let's not wipe the running emotions,

Jesus, we love you, feel your presence,

Unearthly sense is marital complexity,

Like thick mist canopied or lives,

Witness luminescence pervade,

Melts the misty, mysterious hurdles,

Guides us to the subtle presence of love,

Express darling surrender serenely,

Feel His protection inviolable heals,

Sit here quietly, look at our Lord sweet,

Exists everlasting permeates scent,

Sensed when seriously ill waylaid,

Forgotten Him, thought, time to quit,

Saw your paleface tears dried marked,

The scale of the pain in your heart is more,

This life taunts but teaches nicely,

From the corner of my eye watched the light,

 The subconscious mind watched a tunnel,

At the far end, it was dazzling bright white,

Invitingly whispers  heard my soul,

Love you get up it is evening,

Sit both on the mat and read slowly,

No pleading is needed moves time,

Dusk proceeds to a night end too,

Sleep dear, happily feel I am near,

Your sleep will seem an eon, perhaps,

Morning glories of sun thrill you,

This is  an event we experienced unspoken,

The undertone of rebirth is unbelievable,

A cracked skull, a delirious state,

Lost memory failed to realize the time,

On a bed in ICU watched a wall clock,

The hour hand was circling and looked at,

Forgot dawn and dusk existed only,

Scarcely felt that life may fly afar,

Escapes for good gives freedom,

That came to me the cross silhouette,

Silent assuring dear hold me,

I shall collapse no more explain,

A few years after, I am walking fine,

His compassion is oceanic luminescent,

Cured fractured bones live recovered,

Let me offer my life if a candle burns,

Tell Jesus how your smiles returned,

The glow of radiance beauty found,

Mental states got a paradigm change,

Profusely you pray, surprised mostly,

As if our Lord smiles toward Your voice,

Transcends through the confines of sweet home,

Undertone, your husband offers a bosom,

Decimates the loneliness of couples fondly,

Jesus coveys the undertone we live.

INCAPACITATE

 


INCAPACITATE

 

Love you, darling how intense I felt,

Fortunate to have your company near,

Loved you before marriage magnetic,

Attracting your sweet face poetic essays,

How many silent moments it captured,

Incapacitate my reason I dreamed you,

An Inkling of ideas less could realize then,

Love is not infatuation but much more,

Breathless, the nearing time for marriage,

Boundless happiness unknown tomorrow,

How will you like me to feel the behaviors,

A myriad of thoughts you harbor for me,

When will you express hidden wishes,

Time will reveal conjugal love uniting,

Learns to accommodate is unacceptable,

Behest behind right path influences,

Acquire wayward mind disciplined a lot,

Nature harboring anger softening slowly,

Ill feelings hurt, humiliation hidden,

Erases your promising request defeats,

Forgets prejudices link practice  tried to,

An exceptional effort to provide pleasure,

Not the lust of mind mischief prone,

Getting sober near you, darling smiles,

The charm you hold the closest feel, in fact,

Not single, alone in a crowded world,

Far from noisy life disgusting to live,

Cherish your company in seclusion,

Gossip endless awake night ends only,

Breaks new dawn, you inspire me a lot,

How much invisible-strength spine gets,

Your palms on my shoulders body rest,

Feel trickles of tears, a joy unearthly,

The warmth of  the body aspire focused,

Achieve someday only to please you,

Watch your proud face only for me,

Credit unspoken words well understood,

Furthermore, tuff jobs today established,

Name only namesake owes to requests,

The fame that soaks your heart proud hidden,

The care canopies your love give energy,

A bright mind is very positive and inspired,

Beauty is hidden in deeds is fragrant,

This ensures your close observation,

Protects from bad-companion rumors,

Protects from addiction, the mind tries,

Moments after, life sinks into a nightmare,

The soft-manicured hand is strong as steel,

Save dear my life, numerous predators,

Happy today live n content you praise,

Look at you mischievously and chosen,

Like my shadow feel in your absence,

Protective prayers subtle induce, prohibit,

Never allows a wrong step  for a reason,

My love abiding that coagulated settled,

Like ground under my feet strong,

I can't break your heart, broken promise,

We stay together under the sun,

Love each other binding below a moon,

Sleep both closely in a meadow,

Watch the twinkling stars drunken,

Incapacitate unruly mind satiate dependence.

HER GIFT

 


HER GIFT

 

Opened chapter of life reminiscent,

Wounded-heart carries the scar lingers,

Confess the page of a book of life wronged,

Never could know the blunder till twilight,

The First chapter of life childhood, a village,

Lap of the nature succulent greens view,

My parents were loving, poor,

The only son, their heartache,  adoringly,

Pet of the mother her immense help,

My sickness time watched her near,

The touch care, recovers, links her,

The love experience realized divine,

Her anger, scolding less touched me,

Melts her concerns and worries with a hug,

Move to shop malls holding her,

Grew up with flying colors from school,

The page turned to doubt her secretly,

The whole village was taking an evil,

Just one-eyed, I started to observe,

The prejudice germinated in me,

Start hating her afterward, a witch,

Neighbors told, friends told, gossiped,

Rumors solidified in mind suspected,

Left the village for the city, ended graduation,

The third chapter of my life career family,

Established in a distant town settled,

Wealth, luxury, comfort nearer life,

Crossed famous name news to my village,

The village head visited me and honored me,

It was the evening of my life, the next chapter,

Agreed to go home to attend a function,

Life forgot the parents, teenage,

Never ashamed, let me with fate,

Villagers eloquently praised achievements,

Expressed their overwhelmed joy and love,

The function was over village head enquired,

Whether to visit home, meet your mother,

Still living old father no more present,

I knew the last cottage was mine well,

Agreed, went home, dark, silent,

Opened  the door and discovered her,

She was sleeping still inert and cold,

No more breathing, ma just departed,

A letter in her hand, a few pages,

Her handwritten addressed to me,

My son, I loved you in my life always,

You think of me as a one-eyed witch,

It is not correct you didn't know,

When you are a kind played cricket,

The ball hit your left eye, blinded,

I only gave my one eye it was operated,

Successes with a lot of costs got eyesight,

Your left eye is that of mine only,

Never told you this or never asked,

I came to know you hate me as evil,

Separated from us hungry for few days,

Hearing you are coming to the village,

Hope to visit home, my last hours,

Let you know your left eye is healthy,

Gift of mine I continue to see,

Feel my presence through the eye,

Not the chapter, the rest of the pages,

Repentance will hunt till the end,

Her gift, I could see the world.

My inconsolable blunders...

CORROSIVE

 



CORROSIVE

 

In a big world, humans get wild,

Empire of splendor, luxury, dreamland,

Amaze metropolis, glassy towers,

Kissing the sky, he gets awestruck,

Floor upon floor reveals goldmine,

Show your talent pickup to capacity,

Journey accomplished one day,

Travel from a poor-country suburb,

The dirt and mud were once ruling life,

Hunger below the corroded tin shed,

Knew childhood the pang deathlike,

Sick and sunken eyes alert, worried,

Know well without a morsel of food,

The youth is ill, may die in a few days,

No one near him to provide water,

Sleeping inert youth death is freedom,

Life astonishingly entwines spellbound,

A group search found the youth,

Taken to hospital malnourished,

Treated for a week, getting normal,

He won a jackpot of a million with a ticket,

The syndicate searched him and found,

His name, identity recorded duly,

This dying youth today a millionaire,

Highly educated gold medalist scientist,

Doctorate in space technology,

Alas, unemployed in the city, banished,

The state of a country needs leaders,

Mint a mountain of gold as an actor,

Business never means logic, decency,

Corrosive interactions fail opponents,

Business swallows everything slowly,

Lock stock and barrel swindled,

Left the opponent, empty hands,

A destitute by now roaming wayward,

Dies untimely news headlines,

Education backburner earn a lifetime,

Earn a politician in a day equally,

Looking back, the youth his past is past,

Standing  in front of a tower studied,

The land of opportunity he reached,

A lot of hope gathered to work hard,

Proved his caliber in technology,

Not the money but a name,

Felt sobbing not to die ignominious,

But his merit, qualifications honored,

Fetch dignity, and respect, work timely,

His achievements will be given credit,

Met the corporate leaders, the board,

The hour-long interview was impressive,

Excellent salary, residence the job,

The industry is a monster the existence,

Full of talented people rarely sleep,

The sprawling high-rise buildings are busy,

Crowded day and night, ingenious mind,

He found the harbor to anchor,

Here definitely here is waiting a life,

Prospered, recruited,  to develop an engine,

A force multiplier he got satisfied,

A decade of research, hard work,

Today he expects accolades, respect,

Surprised the news flashed differently,

The corporate head covers the headline,

Applauding a great people impressed,

dismayed in darkness is speechless,

Auburn curly hair getting white,

No more crying, feeling sad a little,

Everything is fine not a native,

Not a white tongue English is brown,

I am now rich, a rich person,

He packed his bags to his land to recluse,

Finds seclusions from a corrosive  world,

Happy, a  destination he understood.
