MERCHANT

 

MERCHANT

Bewitching beauty inherited,

Admired, captivated spirited,

Youth visit mesmerizing exit,

Shining glory luster into mist, (1)

 

Fade quicker than anticipated,

Female-to-mother appropriate,

Anoint aspirations children,

Spoke of wheel female waken, (2)

 

Smiling children's laughter lit,

Crowded mother's lap delight,

Far richer than gold children,

Proud her heart sight moisten, (3)

 

Children grow faster, flourish,

Lap of mother empty to wish,

The axis her hubby supported,

No more in the world reported, (4)

 

Homeless children are discarded,

She was the merchant raided,

Her charisma, beautiful family,

She has lost everything silly, (5)

 

The wheel of her fate she lives,

Survived disaster and pain, thrives,

Socked people who know her,

Merchant her enigma enamor, (6)

 

Never seen sorrow or sadness in life,

She resembles a wheel strife,

Stagnant, unable to move to settle,

Poverty, hunger, loneliness, rattle, (7)

 

Sell cotton thread for oil lamps,

In front of the temple, a stamp,

Often, people look at her silent

Disbelieve she stood resilient, (viii)

 

The Merchant of Envy exhibit,

Being an elderly lady persists,

Self-independent, less income,

Ungrateful children, no emotion, (9)

 

Oil lamps she prepares sell burn,

Scantly ask the Lord yet earn,

Rare merchants offered hailed,

Her children established failed, (10)

 

Husband left the world single,

Those who visit the temple fewer mingle,

As a merchant gave pleasure or love,

Merchant withstood pain solve. (11)

PROXY

 

PROXY

Live and watch shadow proves,

Existence of life displays, moves,

Differs reality shadow replicate,

Life extinguish shadow vindicate, (1)

 

Philosophy strike mind allocate,

Responsibility duty to investigate,

Infinite trust human his shadow,

Exhibit faith unique to his widow, (2)

 

Soul mate led life together united,

Husband no more devote lighted,

Exist shadow of her husband she,

Remembrance of love intact shrive, (3)

 

Hubby and mate duet resonance,

Reality and proxy in consonance,

Seen and experienced divine link,

Soul mate tied yet heavenly think, (4)

 

Action duty responsibility relates,

Reaction planning proxy creates,

Emotional reflection tribute stay,

Physical existence lost proxy lay, (5)

 

Remember wedlock happy lives,

Romance, fights, quarrels, reprieves,

Widowhood soul mate resembles,

Memories scantly die ensemble, (6)

 

Reality and proxy matchless lit,

Marriage couples are unaware of light,

Proxy meager stamp of actions,

Shadow figures physical forms, (7)

 

Human learns the virtue of perfection,

Teachers preaching live correctly,

Propagate teachings exactly fit,

Proxy of the teacher job delight, (viii)

 

Immersed in deep thought, stay,

Soul belongs to the Lord, yet lay,

Mind acts as a proxy betrays sad,

Cause of human misery reward, (9)

 

Desire temptation attachment,

Mind is the actor's proxy lament,

Detached impassioned celibacy,

Life of a sage, proxy life ecstasy, (10)

 

Proxy is son, daughter, relations.

Authorized to carry out action,

Proxy the trust faith enumerate,

Human action heart elaborate. (11)

GRANDEUR

 

GRANDEUR

Silent sipping pleasure infinite,

Not gold jewel happiness delight,

Heavenly peace, heart tune well,

Searches beauty enchant dwell, (1)

 

Run after wealth, fame, glamour,

Temporal illusive sad disappear,

Run after beautiful female craze,

Fairy from heaven, exact mirage, (2)

 

Unable to attract status assets,

To love a woman, captivate, test,

Wonderland grandeur desert lit,

Expands to horizon sand defeat, (3)

 

Discover oasis, cold, clean water,

Shade of palm trees dream here,

Apparent illusive the world sure,

Lifelong searched, find grandeur, (4)

 

Observed passion burnt, ridden,

Travels in life sympathy hidden,

Serve and love elaborate efforts,

Deprived orphaned kid comforts, (5)

 

Wipe tear feed enough embrace,

Oasis, finds child, enjoys solace,

Found, sick, elderly persons, sad,

No one to look at them, awkward, (6)

 

Penance, saving income, serving, well,

Divine duty grandeur slow swell,

Not physical substance material,

Infinite joy, happiness is magical, (7)

 

The heart experiences speechless lit,

Silent grandeur greenery, invite,

Next is the dimension of divine glory,

Unimaginable matchless story, (viii)

 

Nature, pristine beauty, enticing,

Waterfall fountain or hot spring,

Animal life, bird, plant, attractive,

Humans part of creatures native, (9)

 

Play, sing and dance, roam wild,

Grandeur God-gifted lives yield,

Saying, thinking, commit a mistake,

Leave perpetual happiness wake, (10)

 

Material glimmer skin attractive,

Name fame status asset lucrative,

Glamour is not grandeur ample,

Serve and love, nature mingle. (11)

PIPE DREAM

 PIPE DREAM

Twilight descends darkness thick,

Reminiscence overwhelms, yet trick,

Lone wolf, today, miss opportunity,

Obstinacy procrastination parity, (1)

 

Sunk in the ocean of sorrows, sad,

Distrust the world around forward,

Unambiguous  inattentive errand,

Not a criminal lunatic, yet remand, (2)

 

It happened, like a bolt, from blue,

Encountered the sage, socked view,

The serenity, calm posture present,

Stood dumbstruck, surprise nascent, (3)

 

Failed to compare awestruck think,

Initiated to talk about his life, yet link,

Left his home from childhood way,

Connected with hermitage dismay, (4)

 

Strict life disciplined begging move,

An adult crossed the country prove,

Does not possess assets, property,

Radiance, knowledge, personality,  (5)

 

Primal pleasure at youth instinct,

Luxury, comfort, wealth, distinct,

Those were pipe dreams, melted sad,

Run after gold life passed but mad, (6)

 

Anger, greed, jealousy, and overtake,

Worthless farced age life segregate,

Distrust the world human life sad,

Encountered the sage felt awkward, (7)

 

Yes, humans can dream, pipe dream,

Peace, happiness, rewarding stream,

Accompany the enlightened person,

Twilight years, loved transformation, (viii)

 

Discovered the pipe dream or light,

At the end of the tunnel, get sight,

Today, changed  lifestyle, discipline,

Stays at home, practice, soul divine, (9)

 

No more lone wolf Lord's presence,

The objective of human life is immense,

Pipe dream unachievable experience,

Once rejected by people eminence, (10)

 

Never believed to be loved, admired,

Divine life daily practice due hired,

Attachment material things stream,

Benign divine life gold pipe dream. (11)

SENILE

 

SENILE

Human life graced forgetfulness,

Losing near and dear one press,

Those moments hurtful shatter,

Years after the event look up better, (1)

 

Attachment, grandfather, uncles,

Grandmother Aunty stumbles,

Siblings, brothers, sisters, cousins,

Changes time human if resigns, (2)

 

No more visible hollowness, sad,

Piercing silence winds forward,

The crowded house in orchard,

Empty moss-covered awkward, (3)

 

Whimper breeze on yesteryear,

Prosperous family living, allure,

There stays grandfather living,

With grandmother along thing, (4)

 

A few no more in this world sad,

The senile grandfather is silent,

Hard to recapture incidents, say,

Grandmother explains to stay, (5)

 

Their grandson came back sock,

Grandpa fails to recognize luck,

It was the right time, Grandma treat,

She is not senile alert but greet, (6)

 

The orchard and garden house,

The grandchild loves to stay chosen,

 Elderly man hundred years old,

Withstood event shattering bold, (7)

 

Furnish the house painted clean,

Great-grandchildren stay mean,

Three generations apart, life smiles,

Great-grandfather  looked senile, (viii)

 

Whose son and grandson failed sadly,

Long was the time decades badly,

A few of his offspring departed,

Fails to recollect memory wanted, (9)

 

A century after watching children,

Senile to their link joy heartened,

Sprouted happiness cheered a lot,

Great-grandchildren had effort, (10)

 

In old age looks at disbelieve,

His roots sprouted resilient strive,

Timeless human life, blood thrive,

Senile the centurion children drive. ( 11)
