COLORS

 

COLORS

 

Discovered the root mind colored,

Matches entity lives spring colored,

Colored wings of butterflies or birds,

Colorful sky at dawn and at dusk,

Colorful season blossoms spread happiness,

Looked at my world, colors impressed,

Who sprinkles willfully color dust,

Greeneries, brown hills, blue lakes,

Plants inherit colored leaves stem,

Animal fish living beings pattern,

Color pattern infinite why inked,

The subtle awareness world fascinates me,

The root in mind colored nature,

Varied bright color characters emit,

Humans love, eyes compassionate,

Caring at heart serves people a lot,

Treat sick patients waking in the night,

Sympathetic life prayer, quick recovery,

Lo laborers work hard to build the country,

Pittance they get on return, simple life,

Fewer their grudge anger, frustration,

Seen peace and happiness in their eyes,

Infectious their smiles, innocence lit,

Seen teachers educate children honestly,

Meager income, modest life, truthful,

Imbibe knowledge, skill, talent, humility,

Observed generations, stories emulate

Peasant, his father, child, grand kind,

Follow professions, feed the people,

Extracting privilege not in their heart,

Bargain for modest life amid nature,

Happiest people, hard work helping,

The nurse, postman, watchman, police,

Doctors, artists, painters, writers, actors,

Intricately juxtapose passion supreme,

Alacrity touched my heart no ambition,

Sacrifice personal desires whimsical,

Job is the supreme duty to entertain lives,

Serve the sick and in danger, bring news,

Lack of haughty spirit boast arrogantly,

The silent mass, builders' ingenuity,

Build building road construction a lot,

Takes trouble, fewer questions bluntly,

Shoulder inhuman tasks time bar rings,

Round the day and night, miss family,

Forgot personal life luxury pleasure,

Speechless to notice these colorful lives,

The world today around us is colored brightly,

Safe and happy humans and citizens,

Astonished at their dances festivals,

Spraying colors, painted faces, tainted dresses,

 Night for light sparks happiness lost,

The greetings, gifts, and sweet shops open,

Enjoyed smiles of hurt and wounded,

Forget the missing dear ones hunting,

Infects festive occasions rebuild strength,

Look at the future hope, aspiration,

Seen folk weep and beg to Lord a lot of idols,

Ornate these temples with colored lamps lit,

Garland decorates the Lord, soaked prayers,

A profusion of color Lord's abode like a lamp,

Burning bright spectral light refracted,

Below the lamp, darkness stays vivid,

Failed light of the lamp to eliminate,

Evil lives in mind dark and gruesome,

Harbor cruelty, greed, jealousy, anger,

Sad my world dual duality performs,

Chose suitable color warmth storm,

Chose death devil behind the black rose,

Fascinated drunk, and divinity rose.

SHADOW

 

SHADOW

 

Life appears to be river curvy,

Fantasies and aspirations entwine,

Hope and frustrations mimic tidal waves,

Dream illusion of oasis mysterious,

Listened attentively to heart whispers,

The thud angrier, throb romantic,

Dispassionate for study left late,

Dejected life, scornful parents,

Silent, aloof, preferred, separated,

Not physically but an emotional chord,

Never, Father enquired me any reasons,

Looked down upon me, a spoilt kid,

Left my plates with food on the table,

Scarcely invite for lunch or dinner,

They laugh, gossip, discuss a lot,

My presence both moves away,

Countless questions to mother,

Her answer disheartening hurt,

Illiteracy is a curse that must suffer,

Your rejection of college life suspense,

Want to be a parasite feed willingly,

Sustain others earning hard work,

Mother conveyed clearly a burden,

Earn yourself or vacate help parents,

Left that day our home to the street,

Few money savings baggage with me,

A friend, his father allowed his garage,

Life renewed as a painter, the beginning,

Helped a friend's dad, and uncle, with funds,

I started selling paintings with frames,

 I knew my father was intelligent, educated,

Studied night long, passionate about books,

Great memory can remember mostly,

Eloquent speaker on various subjects,

My life failed to match him same DNA,

He commented a caustic remark sadly,

He is not my son how the blood betrays,

I hate a stupid son left studying soon,

Think in my shop on him love much,

Feel proud of him for his talent skills,

But my life, my passion is the brush,

Mind projection scenarios scenic,

Scenes at times violent mind reality,

Capture eyes green greedy cruel too,

Nature paints greenery hills sunset,

Glowing peaks of snow-clad peaks,

Days pass to paint a sympathetic heart,

Love, caring, touching souls spectral,

Decades after got self-sufficient life, 

Married, then a child plus our roof,

The small city is now known famous painter,

Each exhibition and a great deal of money,

My son is growing completed school,

Stood as the best student highest marks,

Got Governor's prize for debate, a talk,

Winning several essay completions,

His selves are full of cup, gold medals,

Performing in college was extraordinary,

His gold medal as the best graduate I saw,

Socked remember my dad once said,

I did not have his blood in contempt,

Puzzled now how my son is different,

Uncle cleared my doubts disbelieve,

Blood speaks distinctly inherited, 

Grandson is the shadow of his Grandpa.

EXPECTATION

 

EXPECTATION

 

 

Confess entwined aspirations,

Hidden in the chamber of heart,

Locked mind, stubborn patient,

Wait desperately every morn duet,

The passion is endless, found shore,

Desperately anxious children fly,

Not one, one by one, spread wings,

Roar in the sky joyous cross seas,

Far continent, dreams of father's heart,

Wonderful people, wealth decent,

Friendly accept the children timely,

Their education skill marvel others,

Married overseas lives satisfaction,

Disobeys tears, happy kids growing,

Materialize opportunity moments,

To watch birds flying from the nest,

Ah, smiling faces, bright eyes gleam,

The life of the father experience unreal seem,

They grow study well disciplined,

Obey parents strictly dream similarly,

Conviction influenced hard work,

Confidence outpour from performance,

Sitting in my car waiting for the children, home,

School time is over bell is ringing,

As if a flood homing school gate,

Laughed silently how much proud,

Three sons and a daughter studying well,

Passions of the human heart found shore,

The rest of the dreams faded automatically,

Surprised no hunger for wealth status,

Not a thirsty heart anymore crying,

Lord has fulfilled beyond what begged,

Oh, the shout, greetings, smiling,

Children inside my car demanding,

Take us home soon as we are hungry,

Why should I be disturbed or angry,

There their mom must be waiting,

Her long look at the far side street for the car,

Sighted electric impulse into the kitchen,

We notice their fight competition,

Enjoyed children finished lunch,

Maybe wish to take rest, or to sleep,

Disturbed someone calling at the window,

A female with two babies is looking,

Begging some food, hungry desperately,

I looked at two kids, skinny and speechless,

Socked to their life without food,

No dress and shelter mother begging,

Lord gives to people starkly strike me,

Sat for a second and looked at my children,

Fortunate? is an obscene word I felt,

Inhuman attitude humiliated me,

Brought kids and mother inside,

Served we couple wholeheartedly,

Admitted them to a shelter home,

Paid for them formality required,

Decided to utilize savings arranged,

The two kids can be admitted into the,

The kindergarten accepted the charge,

My expectation included now these kids.

SAD FAREWELL

 

SAD FAREWELL

 

A loner, long years withered quietly,

Accommodated loneliness silently,

Knew it was my decision and firm,

Let not me have children, a family,

Preferred to be single passed years,

Occasionally hunted a past, tears,

Why do people marry? why not for life,

Life is meant to tolerate, cooperate,

Digesting rebuttal angry outburst,

Passing quiet night sobbing, moved,

Found with mother intense caring,

The heart was loving divine shine,

Infinite capacity to tolerate blame,

Humiliations from a family, poor,

Caustic on her upbringing rustic,

Disliked my mother, her silent nature,

Wished her husband with long life,

The only son of my mother and father rude,

Got a meritorious scholarship for study,

Lightning stroke on our life suddenly,

Mother passed out in her bed sadly,

I felt alone from that day Dad remarried,

My relationship with my father was cut off,

I studied on loan higher education,

Established in time, hate family life,

Feared my vein blood flow linked,

Linked to my father, tortured mother,

My childhood only witness faced agony,

Reminiscences tortured me and reminded me,

Missing my mother passing years,

Age at half-century birthday arrived,

Offered a tiny dog with fascinating colors,

Puffy whitish patch, bright dark eyes,

I favored and accepted the gift,

Found a new friend in life, engaged,

Her care food walking in the morning,

She grew fast, and a year is over now,

She has become part of my life,

Office work hard labor tired at home,

Relaxed by her friendly shout jumps,

Hugged and licking fondly obeyed,

Sit on my lap silently during the evening,

She walks with me in a nearby park,

Goes with me to malls for marketing,

She traveled to many places during the tour,

No problem, less I faced difficulty,

Understanding attached a bond unique,

Surprised my life is never alone,

I have dinner, she touches her food,

Wait till I sit on the table and dine at night,

I sleep, she sleeps near me comfortably,

She is my alarm clock in the morning,

Bark softly awake me up duly happy,

Use to walks in the morning, she relieves,

Her bath heal care life entangled,

It was my retirement day, and she died,

Her sickness unknown quick demise,

I buried her in the backyard open ground,

A cement pedestal I built for memory,

Her death, the day was unforgettable,

Covered the place with flowers and sat quietly,

A sad farewell to my only friend, kin.
