LANGUISHED

 

LANGUISHED

 

 

Lingering pains haunt, yet remind,

Lasting peace missed to rescind,

Love lifelong undiluted, rescued,

Lonely lives, reminisce, saw hued, (1)

 

Lacunas removed pour intimate,

Locust, poverty, sickness negate,

Luminescence compassion care,

Longing human heart, gold pair, (2)

 

Less shrinks distributed money,

Landmark tattered life uncanny,

Link prosperity, generosity, soft,

Lost happiness, realized to aloft, (3)

 

Learned dying souls, revived lot,

Leverages only mean live effort,

Lack satisfaction, seek answers,

Left relationship kin disappears, (4)

 

Level relationship give and take,

Lion's shares inheritance break,

List donations contribution pay,

Listen to pious heart, mock say, (5)

 

Legal rights they fight, aggressive,

Lost family, children, soul believe,

Lies in guise wished only riches,

Lotion raw wound pray teaches, (6)

 

Liberty links the dawn prospers,

Liaison with tears, heal answers,

Liberated trodden life squander,

Lives ascetic life hermit wonder, (7)

 

Luck figment of fiction decision,

Lock and key, relations emotion,

Longer passion, physical torture,

Liberates emancipation procure, (viii)

 

Liaison with hermitage evenings,

Liaison, with twilight years, sings,

Languished once sought divinity,

Lion's heart helped, other activity, (9)

 

Lost popularity, loved ones single,

Living a monastic life sage mingle,

Lingering pain untie attachment

Lasting peace is detached decent, (10)

 

Leverage a thirsty mind, search life,

Longer tranquility separates strife,

Languished lacked purity hired,

Loving silence seclusion shared, (11)

 

Links twilight years, quiet, orange,

Link setting sun, realize strange,

Lasted for a day human life, rot,

Languished yet liberated escort, (12)

 

Lasting peace soul escapes sure,

Lo freedom alien land immature,

Lovely dream white pigeon wings,

Lost paradise proceed soul sings, (13)

 

Licked pain liked liberty, escape,

Languished lifelong wings shape,

Spread wings aural evening time,

Homecoming is nesting sublime. (14)

SENILE

 

SENILE

 

Immaculate state introspect life,

Face problem solve butter knife,

Balanced and quiet, perfect hail,

Problems arrive and go, less fail, (1)

 

Failure provides a solution, stored,

Forgotten entirely human bored,

Lament longer less rectify faults,

Wise analyze, dare, think, halts, (2)

 

Quick and sudden decision fear,

Crack or crash planning failure,

Human loves to study, perspective,

Lifelong passion, read positive, (3)

 

Rational mind culture life build,

Reality realizes factual acts yield,

Alert mind allocates possibilities,

Successful, less happy abilities, (4)

 

Ingenuity, intuitive, intrusive act,

Trial error failure victory test react,

Calumniate experiment miracle,

Life passed experiments wriggle, (5)

 

Forget family relations, society fit,

Read study explorative life treat,

Alone, totally alone, evasive deal,

Mission obscure objective steal, (6)

 

Extracts truth of matter impact,

News aplomb a discovery a fact,

Far from limelight less credit it,

Simple, unambiguous life a feat, (7)

 

Forgetful of food, lunch, dinner,

Forgets timely sleep, write sure,

Voluntary confinement, a room,

A table, collected books, groom, (viii)

 

Windows closed, window hints,

Mind's eye, inner window tints,

Forgot season arrived, departed,

Immaterial to life, light-hearted, (9)

 

Never seen blossom fruit sweet,

Under the shed of a tree, intuit,

Immerse in thoughts, physical,

Creation phenomenon natural, (10)

 

Correlates equate determinates,

Traffic in the street dissipates,

Unable to disturb mind look at,

Silent, deaf, and dumb impact, (11)

 

Lost in thought, unknown facts,

Unknown territory, the idea starts,

Formulate, deduct, experiments,

It is evening and dark laments, (12)

 

Tea is cold on the table then forget,

Lost the thread of ideas, regrets,

Limited dress in the cupboard pen,

Forget which pocket act insane, (13)

 

Madly searching, the maid provides,

Not disturbed, start writing divides,

Page after page written he slept,

Senile to worldly dream he wept, (14)

 

Failed to find a solution, morning,

Forgotten his tear, solution ring,

Golden lives, dedicated, creative,

Senile to human needs, negative. (15)

TICKET

 

TICKET

 

 

Passengers travel stupendous, busy

Modern lives globe trotters not easy,

Flight railway bus and ship journey,

Destinations million timings money, (1)

 

Book in advance urgent calls ambit,

Necessity human seeks life gambit,

The crowd long queues wait hours,

Arrival conduit announce lo cowers, (2)

 

The rush impatience throngs crowd,

Ticket counter checks, queues, loud,

Stand at a corner and notice busy lives,

The mission objective of the journey survives, (3)

 

Weather tensions to reach boarding,

Short time to accept visitors loading,

The hassles bustle tireless animals,

Reach in-time routine fixed enthralls, (4)

 

Wait, wait, halt, stay put, life destiny,

Tickets to travel secondary uncanny,

Ticket collector, in train, the saga of life,

Checks tickets in moving train strife, (5)

 

This was his occupation experience,

The immensity of meeting people, sense,

Watched from close observation, his,

Purpose of travel countless till cease, (6)

 

Dying patients, move for treatments,

Who gets cured, returns, or laments,

People elders on the pilgrimage travel,

He knew few were unlucky unravel, (7)

 

A journey some knew not, the last,

Lost their lives relatives story cast,

He saw youths dreamy, uncertain,

Moving to distant cities love to earn, (viii)

 

Some of them return after decades,

Facade at home town links invade,

Some build empires in a distant city 

A few back home recognize pretty, (9)

 

Youth provides a ticket to prudent

Mobile, ear plugs aimless student,

He mused it was their first tickets lit,

Distant future busy lives life treat, (10)

 

Studies, then career, he met many,

Checking tickets, listening to funny,

A few move abroad, rest in service,

Year after year, their family notice, (11)

 

They recognize and introduce decently,

Once, he found a lost child faintly,

Parents left the child on the train sad,

Crying bitterly without ticket mad, (12)

 

He arranged an orphanage for the child,

Saw once a widow rejected sordid,

No money, ticket, her children left,

Forced her onto a train to beg felt, (13)

 

He cried on that day and helped her,

Arrange a shelter home life secure,

I listened to his story for an hour,

His service check ticket sweet-sour, (14)

 

Moving lifestream, he was intimate,

Ticket, ticket, his polite word relate. 

Human lives he encountered trickle,

Astonished stories intricate mingle. (15)

MOONLIT

 

MOONLIT

 

Exacerbate harvest hailstorm fear,

He is wondering in the night here,

Bountiful earth this year outpour,

Ripe paddy grain fields, yet allure, (1)

 

Sequel human hardship, he toiled,

Sleep on the grass, look at spoiled,

Dark clouds cover the full moonlit,

Spread darkness night owls fright, (2)

 

Jackals, plenty, dare in grain fields,

Howling intermittently alerts yields,

A long bamboo stick the weapon fit,

Strike on the ground sounds defeat, (3)

 

Gleaming eyes reddish vanish well,

Long dry grass plants sway sequel,

Clouds sail gently, smile full moon,

Light grain field in the night boon, (4)

 

A tiny cottage amid a shelter,

Watches the farmer output secure,

Roof namesake dried straws open,

He notices the moving moonlit often, (5)

 

The silence, unearthly experience,

Penetrate pores of the skin, sense,

Hissing sound snakes are moving,

Hunts mouse paddies destroying, (6)

 

Uncomfortable sound outside feel,

Creeping fear poisonous to reveal,

Moonlit nights awash with silvery,

Serpents glisten a bamboo fiery, (7)

 

Protect his life his sound enough,

Vanishes long shadow, not laugh,

Watchful play a flute, spellbound,

Pierces silence condensed sound, (viii)

 

Melodious, unreal ecstasy, soaked,

Pervades vast grain field mocked,

Dispel fear factor hunter hunted,

Flee grain thieve quickly blunted, (9)

 

Lone human in the dead of night,

Head scarf, bare body, stick fright,

Ghosts will fear where human stays,

Fearless his spirit brave dismays, (10)

 

Early morning, a cold wind blows,

Birds chirping dark dots it shows,

Waning moonlit night, pink east,

His encounter with the silence, beast, (11)

 

Backdrop canvas yearlong effort,

Golden grain field sunlight escort,

Returns home, his village is near,

He will sleep for a few hours wear, (12)

 

Reflect happiness and satisfaction,

He feeds millions who lack emotion,

No limousine, glistening vehicle, 

His bullock cart wooden mingle, (13)

 

He carries jute bags a few miles,

Surrender to mill owner smiles,

His share of rice only food great,

Provides river fish vegetable, a duet, (14)

 

Mud-house, this human explicit,

Granaries land assured moonlit.

The spine of the nation is invisible,

Moonlit night grain field simple. (15)
