COMPLETENESS

 

COMPLETENESS

 

Searched perfection defied life,

Sonata, discordant reply strife,

Musical life attuned to noises,

Sad searched life deny poises, (1)

 

Where happiness begins, ends,

Sadly, trouble starts but bends,

Rejuvenates human life, forget,

Musical, lyrical memory effect, (2)

 

Astonished mud house cottage,

Serenity matches paradise, village,

Shine love lotus pong buffalos,

Cow dust evening bells hallows, (3)

 

Sunset cold wind spine chilling,

Year-end December fog ringing,

Temple bell oil lamps lit divinity,

New Year conveys short humanity, (4)

 

Countless dreams hope dense,

Assure or departure immense,

That visible will vanish quickly,

That wished reality says meekly, (5)

 

Possible the life flute sings less,

Impressive happenings ingress,

Who plans destabilizes, game on,

I listen to the flute, tunes upon, (6)

 

The Aghori quit family, society,

His life unparallel tells quality,

He possesses not a home, asset,

Move across the country dissect, (7)

 

His journey for mingling nature, 

Winter nights sleep open here,

The spirit, fearless, greets a dawn,

Watch death demise less mourn, (viii)

 

No possession of few clothes, with flute, 

Sit idle at Ghats river bank suit,

A few money, kind pilgrim offer,

Sing at cremation ground prayer, (9)

 

No relation to the departed soul bath, 

Offer river water empty, no wrath,

Happy a life that once began to end,

Pray for the spirit rest song lend, (10)

 

Watched them, a tribe mesmerized, 

Life encompasses traveler surprise,

Keep no relation fewer talk travel,

Contribution to a message unravel, (11)

 

The completeness of human life, 

Defeats death, attachment, strife,

Defeats family bond division hit,

Defeats class, creed, gold delight, (12)

 

No hegemony power exploitation,

Saga of human life soul unborn,

The physical limbs for pleasure,

Divine play nature aura glamour, (13)

 

He steals the whispers of the wind,

The flute sings, repeats, reminds,

The fountain waterfall bee buzz,

Flute excited play life because (14)

 

He lived a century and traveled a lot,

Completeness human life host,

That surprised civilization asks,

Humanity with nuke war basks. (15)

CHRISTMAS

 

CHRISTMAS

 

Olivia Monroe, the gentle lady decent,

Her birthday was celebrated ninety recently,

Neighborhood gathers love her much,

She was a school teacher living touch, (1)

 

Lost her husband a decade ago, sickness,

Children visit unfailingly life impresses,

They sing and dance, Mom silent tears,

Children are happy, prosperous sheer, (2)

 

Grandchildren a few prick tease jokes,

Laugh festive Christmas cake smoke,

Listless events tiny cottage beautiful,

Gentle garden, flower-bedecked full, (3)

 

Happiness winter mist morning walk,

Olivia, my friend, I am younger, talk,

Our life stories entwined surprisingly,

My life as an engineer children spring, (4)

 

Went abroad couple alone neighbor,

We visit her, family visits, a bit sweetly,

Visited her home today, I met her children,

Played with grandkids, liked to frighten, (5)

 

The evening was with hot tea biscuits lot,

Aromas of minted cakes tears avert,

Knew Olivia will be lonely very soon,

Her abode her life memory a cocoon, (6)

 

Christmas season to be united revive,

Human life, childhood to adult, drives,

The immensity of lust-hankering desires,

Human mood Christmas do inspire, (7)

 

Erases frustration and lost hope, regains,

I played my violin and sang like insane,

There was silence, peace, awareness,

Hugged children their uncle impress, (viii)

 

The evening lighting electric a song,

Why do humans become alone or long,

Remembrance is noticeable, unique, lit,

Different each year, story, life excites, (9)

 

Like or not Christmas New Year fit,

Million human planning event neat,

Arrival experiences we dream of now,

December last week, a year fade vow, (10)

 

Lord is supreme, believe, lives accord,

Genuine desire capability live record,

A child's dream gifts many at dawn,

Separation goodbyes sadly frown, (11)

 

Left it was late at night, had dinner good,

Bade goodbye to Olivia, good mood,

She caught my hand and whispered, slow,

You hide tears my loneliness I know, (12)

 

Tomorrow, children will leave a plan,

Mr. Mishra, I am a teacher of fewer scans,

My husband left yet children with me,

This Christmas sweet to me supreme, (13)

 

I love them, live for them, life is formal,

Christmas is not a season lives magical,

Phenomenal love relationship, a bond,

A time human waits a whole year, fond (14)

DISCERN

 

DISCERN

 

 

Stupendous effort, human labor,

Nameless, countless, ageless, fear,

Got nothing paid little perished,

Stories lost monument finished, (1)

 

Matchless art and craft miracle,

Granite marble rock art sparkle,

Glass gold silver jewel jaded ink,

Colorful pictures messages wink, (2)

 

Civilization glory built huge cost,

Years a million labored lives lost,

Elephant horse cartwheel roads,

Muddy knee-deep water accords, (3)

 

The land and people built regal,

Monuments, palace, fortress, wall,

Monstrosity sequel culture, write,

Visited palaces, forts, lived, place excite, (4)

 

Centuries stood perfectly silent,

Past land lives believed present,

Whispers executive work crafts,

Idols, temples, and rock work, in fact, (5)

 

Weigh new-age view of the future,

Why do humans feel in danger fear,

Think in extinct holocaust yell,

Doomsday link nuke blackmail, (6)

 

Our forefathers built died sadly,

To civilization generation madly,

Build roads, fast trains, buses, planes,

Skyscraper megapolis in veins, (7)

 

No connection with past justice,

Prejudiced education life notice,

Tag ignoble ignorant illiterate,

I felt crying forefathers liberate, (viii)

 

There was freedom, no wall stay,

Artisan musician painter display,

Poets, writers, sages, wizards exist,

Golden age coins were gold list, (9)

 

Page currency machine transfer,

Lo, civilized people getting poor,

No food, no clothes, no roof, or job,

Life sob street sight sob if rob, (10)

 

Rob our culture concrete jungle,

Vanish forest fertile land tumble,

Air polluted water polluted taint,

Land polluted scar no ointment, (11)

 

We dream holocaust, ruins, skulls,

But places forts will stay stroll,

It was a sad feeling evening in grace,

I sadly viewed the Mysore-Palace, (12)

 

The king was respected in the past,

We are a democratic time cast,

Lost a scenic beauty wall built,

We fight among us casts, guilt, (13)

 

Modernity education is false,

Hides hypocrisy, divides, repulse,

More hatred enemy breeds pride,

No more build palace forts slide, (14)

 

Discern division, unity, diversity,

Land once stood to discern veracity,

Old is gold learn generation pray,

Wisdom from past glory dismay. (15)

HIDEOUT

 

HIDEOUT

 

Resonate name and fame, surprised,

Man of outstanding courage, prized,

Root was rustic, innocent life, life-driven,

Poverty, illiteracy, hard-working liven, (1)

 

Given poultry payment families suffer,

Downtown, a slum shanty in hunger,

His life anonymous face coolie dark,

Carrying bags in road traffic mark, (2)

 

One of the thousand laborers living,

Scantly paid, festive moods singing,

Surprised, moneyless, lacks future,

Can't say if he dreamed gold usher, (3)

 

Happy each day early dawn moves,

His trolley hard work coins grooves,

Fate comes to reveal in front suddenly,

Saved a human wounded lo fatally, (4)

 

Severe accident he was dying cried,

The trolley owner transported decided,

Nearby best hospital knew the victim,

Informed his family of action esteem, (5)

 

Sooner, the victim treated survived,

The trolley owner rewarded arrived,

Refused to take money with his life,

Elaborated his village life city strife, (6)

 

Few accolades and money mean nothing,

His life survived, family everything,

He was a poor man who got praised,

All were in tears, thanked him, greeted, (7)

 

The industrialist asks for his wishes,

No gratitude he got his life relishes,

Wanted for the gift of life, unforgettable,

A property he wanted transferable, (viii)

 

Free with maintenance support nit,

The trolley driver replied, definite,

Visits from the village love nature a lot,

City life in slum poverty hard effort, (9)

 

Suffering his wife, unhappy children,

Sold his house in the village, smitten,

The wealthy man, the family head, relied,

Disclosed his hideout, flees replied, (10)

 

That saves from business pressure,

Commitments meetings, he assures,

Hideout a savior for his life he built,

His family to visit recluse time greet, (11)

 

Requested to be a caretaker, lifetime,

His savior, the fitting job, a gift define,

The abode in the nature let him stay,

With his wife as a caretaker far away, (12)

 

The man promised to bear the cost, sock,

For the children, their study, no joke,

The trolley man was in tears, he believed,

Accepted a proposal happy, relieved, (13)

 

This will happen in his life realities,

Not a dream never dared to abilities,

Sacred, fortune fate, may vanish, a lie,

But God graces, who saves life defy, (14)

 

He became the caretaker of a hideout,

His slum with news families shout,

Jubilation migrates to nature couple.   

Their children stay in a hostel school. (15)
