RECLUSE

 

Far off civilization in the lap of nature,

Ancient human colony life of the tribe,

Jet age, space-age, high-tech is hype,

Abominable age of human recluse type,

Impregnable dense forest nature strikes,

The simple life of humans naturally thrives,

Fierce tiger elephant predator prowl,

Snakes, insects, dangerous trap soul,

Wise forest life tribal fight hard secure,

Recluse from urban life protects nature,

Their clothes, ornaments, and food,

Hunting animals, cultivating rice, wood,

Honey forest food water plenty,

Mosquitoes breed fast tribal kids,

Far from education nourished food,

Good clothes hygiene, health,

The conscience of human outlook,

Highways, megapolis, education,

Constitution fails from recluse decades,

Development halts at the barricade,

Happiest are tribal in dance night long,

Fever, death, birth, and marriage, song,

Unique Marvel life is far from complex,

Far from urban life and serenity,

Hospital, school, college, road, clinic,

Absent service to people, access,

Society ever mind utter neglect or be kind,

Confined life, fearful mind, trust recluse arm,

Nature questions the conscience of humans

Recluse from truth detachment rewind,

The objective of the spirit, not an animal,

Food, drink, sleep, unite in shelter primeval,

Emancipation recalls the soul to seek the goal,

A recluse in solitude in nature, inner spirit calls,

The mind is silent in thought, and ears close,

Fragile is a frame, sit still, awareness arose,

Recluse lifelong in the quest, sojourn objective,

Realization unfolds; the recluse is subjective.

Decent proposals, the mind answering,

Relentless questions, solutions, findings. (viii)

CURTAINS AND THE REALITY

 

Unscrupulous mind traps the heart,

Unsuspicious soul accepts, acts, a fact,

Misguides impression, a cacophony,

Drunken dreamy state a symphony, (1)

 

Delusion Cacti flowers and colorful,

Splinters hard rock waterfall, awful,

Marvel gems, pebbles, water flows,

The melody of fountains, mind blows, (2)

 

Attractive animal life, forest coexist,

Serenity scenic valley and hills exist,

Carnivorous predators prowl in guise,

The hunter hunts cheerfully presize (3)

 

Beautiful river view and blue stream,

The boatman ferrying lives, a dream,

Undercurrent, a bedrock and storms,

Sun shines brightly, happiness forms, (4)

 

Polite, soothing voice, healing touch,

Human spirits visibly search much,

Breeds greed commits blunder sadly,

Loot happiness and peace, act madly, (5)

 

Name of conjugal love unites hearts,

Passionate, watches butterflies, reacts,

Lies underneath deceptions, betrayals,

Hallucinate the realm loses always, (6)

 

Flower shows nectar and fragrance,

Hidden glue traps insects, a chance,

The Lotus symbol of purity, honey smell,

Fearless wild bee succulent, sequel, (7)

 

Reality quicksand, and a mirage stays,

Human survives by struggling a way,

Curtains and the reality, the realm play,

A transparent span of life is displayed. (viii)

THE ALTAR OF DUTY

Humans speculate that good food, a roof,

A cloth and assets work hard proof,

Untiring effort, dream manifest zest,

Fruitful reality, in front happily rests, (1)

 

The symphony touches events of life,

The melody is melancholic, stay strife,

The smile and laughter on the ornate face,

The crestfallen heart pain disgrace, (2)

 

The mind and sand castle crumble,

Aspiration, a creeper, duly grumbles,

Build house path and infrastructure,

Calamity sweeps away all encounters, (3)

 

There burns a lamp of courage bright,

Stubborn and ingenious minds fight,

Daring to face death, losing their life,

Saving from the teeth of death or strife, (4)

 

Astonishing aspect, protects at odds,

Forest fire, cyclone storm, or floods,

Chest deep water blizzard or fume,

Human proceed faultlessly resume, (5)

 

Lost in an avalanche, mudslide, and rocks,

Untraceable for good serve socks,

Family misses people are grateful,

Immortal is service driving dutiful, (6)

 

Calamity passes catalyst rebuilds,

Memory etched the past shields,

Candle burns bright, show a lesson,

Inspire a generation, no emotion, (7)

 

Do or die, defy eventuality boldly,

Courage inborn rejects fear coldly,

The altar of duty, yet life precious,

Sacrifice or sacrilege feels obvious. (viii)

CAGED DOVES

Preamble of peace and prosperity,
Bolstered understanding or amity,
Unquenchable thirst to love float,
Emblem, display white doves, aloft, (1)

Pervade happiness and progress,
Growth engine of development,
Literacy, healthcare, and amenity,
Freedom, equal right, life impress, (2)

Fraternity social lives and culture,
Festivals, festive seasons, enamor,
Drunken souls, rhythmic, celebrate,
A bumper crop, harvest indicates, (3)

Pandals Puja occasion, family sing,
Gather at parents' home to swing,
New dress ornament, and jewelry,
Caged dreams now free in rivalry, (4)

Closed school, college, and offices,
Human desire to travel life wishes,
Choose nature and a verdant valley,
Forget responsibility worries tally, (5)

Shakeup tension, fear, and trouble,
September autumn moth smuggle,
Calm and quiet river, charms wind,
Jasmine cherry blossom rekindle, (6)

Fragrance lures, aromas of cuisine,
A dreamy state, a delirious mind wins,
The sunrise, sunset, and afternoon,
Life stays, till the sun and the moon, (7)

Surprise, humans prefer caged doves,
Bonded labor chained, forgets love,
Self-made silver cage, stay invisible,
Open the heart, soul fly, love trickle, (viii)

THE WALL OF TIME

 

Beseech the soul to escape forbidden,

Abundant pleasure, love heart smitten,

Inhale fresh air and, if a window permits,

Disappoints invisibility, mystery quits, (1)

 

Humans confined within four walls cry,

Impregnable the dungeon liberty defy,

The physical chains block movements,

Movable life amused thirsty, laments, (2)

 

Dreams aspiration aspersion a magic,

Materialize disappear illusions tragic,

The damsels serve delicately, cherish,

The confused state of mind, feverish, (3)

 

Beyond a glass wall, flower blossoms,

Distant mountain, sunrays awesome,

Golden hues upon dew pearl dictate,

Moist air, moisten glass walls, simulate, (4)

 

The bright sunshine, full moon, lotus,

Beyond the reach of the heart, focus,

Creation of paradise probes a motive,

For a time, life, a prisoner, attractive, (5)

 

Like the flower withers petals fallen,

Human courage fights failure swollen,

Fails to break the wall to run farther,

Met and misses kin father or mother, (6)

 

Left alone the chamber, still alluring,

The symphony of life, orchestra, sing,

A drama of brother, father, and love,

The candle goes off, curtain dissolve, (7)

 

Escape the soul and defeat, sublime,

Cycle of births, and the wall of time,

Clock rotates forward, hallucinates,

The glass wall, not fragile, vindicates. (viii)

THE WALLET AND HOPE

 

Touching melancholy grips the heart,

Dreams and reality, apparently apart,

Desire for a magnificent mansion fails,

Lack of money and loan effort derail (1)

 

Sweet home, beautiful family, and kids,

Burdens of life, single, lonely, and arid,

Money and coins help find friendship,

Penniless life lonely, avoided worship, (2)

 

Mind creates mirage travel, unknown,

Empty pockets disappoint the sojourn,

Hard work, meager earnings, depression,

Hungry life a morsel of food impress, (3)

 

The pet dog has left food, the reason,

An empty purse chains the mind, vision,

Imprinted vibrant valley, forest, hills,

Contemplate the mural winter chills, (4)

 

The river, serene blue surfs on a rock,

The boatmen's folklore, distant mock,

Stands for hours observing, listening,

Lack no asset, property, tears glisten, (5)

 

Fake an elusive world, a purse matter,

Have gold, jewelry, contribute, flatter,

Humans treat cordially and praise well,

Situation: poverty people avoid, hell (6)

 

Tree, uprooted, spout, seed germinates,

A dry river bed to the brim vindicate,

Today's beggar, tomorrow's rich lead,

Survival, the miracle of life, shows indeed, (7)

 

The wallet and hope money circulate,

Foolish the wild mind yearn calculate,

Hope fulfilled, money changes hands,

A few humans view and understand. (viii)

REGRET MISTAKES

To err is human, unknowingly done,
Rarely deceptive mind agree prone,
The secrecy and guise entwine well,
Under the carpet the blunder dwell, (1)

Minor error changes life, repentance,
Accept and correct actions enhance,
The guilt bites conscience persuade,
Discrimination courage masquerade, (2)

Human character pros and cons tell,
Learning lesson, practice is a sequel.
Shed depression fears and tensions,
Prevail peace and happiness notion, (3)

Committed mistake hides the mind,
Repercussion devastates sadly find,
Truth is the fire smoke billows swell,
Mistakes come to light, plight dwell, (4)

Churns the heart for consequences,
Confession provides solace sequence,
Life learn to smile, know the hurdle,
Life is not a bed of roses and trouble, (5)

Face difficulty with fault, solving nicely,
A diary full of notes, underlined notices,
Sufficient practice, key to knowledge,
An intelligent person views a message (6)

To pluck a flower or hurt an animal,
To cheat an innocent, a sin, a criminal,
To spread lies, misguide, influence,
As you sow, so you reap preference, (7)

Life is short, a canvassing error, a sin,
Regret mistakes, life can never win,
Repentance, correction, truth stand,
Purity and determination demand. (viii)
