BROKEN STRING AND THE HEART

Ecstatic, the heart profusely dreams,
Imagine a paradise melody stream,
Not a less of stigma remorse swell,
Profound peace, happiness prevail, (1)

Sequel of aspiration, pleasure, love,
Momentary courage, pain dissolves,
Rarely confess and convey, openly,
The silent song pervades life, lonely (2)

Hesitates, shares immense passion,
Material gain, or prized possession,
Preferred a life, an anonymous show,
Unknown happenings, alert, know, (3)

Helpful, benevolent, and caring life,
Attended sick and needy the strife,
Accepted enough gratitude smiles,
Service to the Lord serves life miles, (4)

Single, no family or children, stay,
He found serenity, happiness, sway,
A lone wolf among forest verdure,
The solitude, seclusion, encounter, (5)

Discover the human mission, well,
Unearthly realization quietly dwells,
The symphony of human life listen,
A melody metamorphoses glistens, (6)

His heart, a guitar, strings pulsate,
The soul plays a song of life, relate,
No pain, sorrow, anxiety, and fear,
The music enchants the soul, hear, (7)

Cruel the time steal sadly, mourn,
Broken string and the heart yearn,
See an irreparable guitar, the heart,
After spring arrives, winter, in fact. (viii)

FINDING SOLACE

Loses dream gold and desires life,
Misses friend, foes troubles strife,
Minarets of sand castle crumble,

Finding solace, fortunately, thinks,
Faced the untimed squall storms,
Consolidate wounded soul, some. (viii)

Blind for blunder guidance synergy,
Unspoken word lip quiver transmit,

Abiding patronage, admire deserve,

A million silent prayers to the Lord,

A building block of quality, nature,
Stands confident life, meet a future, (6)

No askance, less pittance blessings,
Unique and charming life wishing, (viii)

PEACE AND PERSUIT

Wakeful rainy nights, fearful stare,
Thunder and lightning awful dare,
Parallel life and horror cacophony,
Sadness and troubles accompany (1)

Dream fades and butterfly unseen,
Hunger blistering summer screen,
Memories float or mural frighten,
Failed to escape condition shaken, (2)

No rainbows, azure sky, and clouds,
Looked disappointed, crying loudly,
Why the destiny, cruel, frustrating?
Where has sunshine gone, rotting? (3)

Dearly learned yearn for happiness,
Love, care, and sympathy impress,
Deride by self-esteem divide well,
Vanquished or gain victory dwell, (4)

Scarcely saw the lotus bloom bee,
Intoxicating fragrance beauty see,
Unfound, soothing voices healing,
Lack a melody of life, scintillating, (5)

But never submerged to sorrows,
Looks forward to happy tomorrows,
May opportunity provide scopes,
Fortunate soul escapes life, elopes, (6)

Hopeful, rosy future invites, assure,
Bask in the silvery light encounter,
Enamor the verdant valley forest,
Lost among the trees, mist attest, (7)

Born not to perish but to cherish,
Peace and pursuit, precious wish,
Fruits and flowers, deeds, indeed,
A mission of life is to view a seed. (viii)

RESILIENCE AND LOVE

Minutely observed the baby, smiles,
Hot summer, parched soil, devastates,
Miles, females walk with a pitcher, fate,
The child in the waist laughs in its style, (1)

San shade of tree life searches, water,
Plough field paramount the season,
Rain inundates corn fields, a reason,
Fertile soil sowing paddies, enamor, (2)

Village pond to the brim, the moon,
Lily grows, blooms, ecstasy pervades,
Lotus waits, morning masquerade,
Bullock carts the ringing hear soon, (3)

Forgotten a thirsty summer festive,
Autumn knocks hearts irrespective,
Cakes and sweets, boiled rice, new,
Agrarian festival offered a faith view, (4)

Baby swims in the pool, running wild,
Careful and concerned mother mild,
The mirth, happiness, and hospitality,
Village life, infectious, admire quality, (5)

The aroma and smoke from cottages,
Not gold, jewels, and diamond craze,
A living form of coexistence is amicable,
Farmers pray to the Lord, effort capable, (6)

The city is far, allures nature, verdant,
Village folk, their legacy lives vibrant,
Unaware of luxury comfort and ego,
Visible innocence viable loving agog, (7)

A mother, her smile, child, the waist,
Resilience and love the mural, attest,
Surviving in modern times requires,
Balances the complexity of life aspire. (viii)

THE DIARY AND LIFE

 

Lost days forgotten incidents float,

Cherish moments, tearfully escort,

Soaked with emotion tidal thought,

The misery and pain, solace sought, (1)

 

Stranger became friend, soul mate,

Romantic hours live communicate,

Sutured with spider net, dream well,

Etched in the inner chamber, sequel (2)

 

The childhood budding youth sense,

Letters clipped, stored, love intense,

The thrill and throb entwine a magic,

Union and separation surfaces, tragic, (3)

 

Parental care, love, attention remind,

Wakeful nights on sickbed, soul find,

The teacher acts as a magic stone well,

Read, write, and speak change prevail, (4)

 

Left the home, switched to a nest,

Marriage and kids are sweet, a test.

Chicks flew far off, hatched life lonely,

Diary is complete, stays melancholy, (5)

 

Hard to remember friends, neighbors,

Sad to commemorate the memory lane,

Crisscross the gully blind lane, unsure,

The boulevard lamp post touch, in vain (6)

 

Wrote the magnetic sunrise dusk ink,

The flock of the birds flies, azure I wink,

Waves to the sea kiss foot, sultry air,

Distant horizon merges my life share, (7)

 

Forgotten memories, the diary, and life,

Peace, happiness, and pleasure, a strife,

Read my own diary, cinematic real roll,

In the twilight years, pages to scroll. (viii)

 A PORTER AND THE DILEMMA

A brass badge, red shirt, well, escorts,
The story of earning, yearning mix,

Ambiguous a solace, perspire well,
Sweat and a morsel of food, a sequel,
Unknown traveler and destination,
The baggage and burden, emotion, (2)

Kids, females, and laughter pervade,
Whistles a train, time masquerade,
He rarely meets the passenger feel,
The secret of human dreams reveals (3)

A luggage of gold, assets, and dress,
Attachment deceives ensure losses,
Upon his head fails to touch clearly,
His life, carrying goods, a melancholy, (4)

The shanty, a hut, happiness fuels,
Abode of peace, nothingness dwells,
Strikes hunger, sickness, a predator,
Crowds at the platform, the savior, (5)

Recover from calamity, rebuild fine,
Infinite patience, successful, define,
Witness union happy tear, immune,
The pain of a separation, and fume (6)

The drama of human life performs,
Exists, a sole observer at platforms,
Confused and bemused, witnesses,
The realm, realize, illusory, impress, (7)

Remember the timings, perfect, well.
Arrival and departure, match sequel,
A porter and the dilemma, touching,
Entwine his life and a soul searching. (viii)

Sufficient tears irrecoverable realize,

Courage and caution, efforts precise, (5)

Trickles a blood hurt progress excite,

Velvety grassland morning life recite, (6)

Money, sweeter than honey, a sequel,

Reject the subject of view, passionate,

Beautiful nature attracts, promulgate, (7)

 

The cycle of love and tears, tests of life,

Today clouds shroud the sun, remorse,

Tomorrow, bright sunshine, of course. (viii)

Life is complex, compares, a sequel (7)

 

Today and tomorrow, the future,

Between the lines, a subtle feature,

Invisible a thousand wishes trust,

Perceptive eyes read, ignore most. (viii)

The moon wishes to watch, clouded,
Glowworms in thick fog shrouded, (4)

Thirsty for nightingale and singing,
A flock of birds homebound, play, (5)

Green mountain bald peaks stand,
Beseech fortune, well understand, (6)

Before blossoms the fall, a horror,
Smiles lost in the mirage of sorrows,
Instead of oasis, quicksand shows (7)

Aspiration crumbled manifestation,
The fall before the spring, confess,
Mysterious life test timely impress. (viii)
