A ROSE AND A TEAR

 

A ROSE AND A TEAR

Magical night, sweet dreams shimmer,

Anticipate crimson horizon encounter,

Blue moon, silvery night showers cool,

Sweeping emotion anticipates colorful. (1)

 

Miracle will happen, change overnight,

Peace and prosperity usher in life, delight,

Nightingale sings cuckoo influence all,

Listening, rapt attention, reality recall, (2)

 

Life is the bed of roses, absent the thorn,

Falsify an apprehension fallacy mourn,

Success mirror of love or seed petals,

Achievers praiseworthy smile mortals, (3)

 

Spider net of thoughts crisscross well,

Plans to execute imprints hope dwell,

Walk over the Globe search solution,

pitfalls before the traveler, a caution, (4)

 

The admiration of an adorable life witness,

Roaring applause, confidence impress,

Name and fame, a fortunate life, regrets,

Short-lived satisfaction it segregates, (5)

 

The rosy future shadowed, uncertain,

The status gold disappears at a path turn,

Dreams broken life a mirage projects,

Disappointed, a heart objects, rejects, (6)

 

Futile endeavor, an effort, quick sand,

Contemplate mind fails to understand,

Speechless, watch events change hell,

Inescapable, the solution, a sequel (7)

 

Life is a replica of make and break,

A rose and a tear self-healing awake,

Today is not tomorrow, opportunity,

Never surrender but light assiduity. (viii)

SKETCHED IMPRESSION

 

SKETCHED IMPRESSION

Life, dream of paradise and comfort,

Paranoia or disappointment, escort,

Privilege, favor, and honor continue,

Humans deprived the place because (1)

 

Glass mansion, sweet home family,

They glow and show, proud simply,

Often boast at all costs, or the most.

Hunger, poverty, insane heart frost, (2)

 

Mere complaint, angry voice reacts,

Instant solution provision soon act,

In fact, distract the request, ignored,

Illiteracy, the curse laborers secured, (3)

 

Sickness, health, hospital, or doctors,

Status and position acquired, ensure,

Dishearten the sight, sick, medicine,

Lack treatment doctor life entwine, (4)

 

Children with ambition, big birds fly,

Skeletal figure, a child looks, feels sigh,

Distant dream, the school and book,

Distant the teacher, bright outlook, (5)

 

An urban female designed apparel,

Polished interactions dress marvel,

Sophisticated lifestyle or educated,

Domestic menial works, frustrated, (6)

 

San ornaments vehicles, the female,

Life encompassed toil, poor and frail,

The narrow gully and stinking drain,

Amazes boulevard, lampposts, train, (7)

 

 

Window curtains, lighted a garden,

Pet dog barks stark pictures taken,

Sketched impression, city stirring,

A paradise or a myopic feeling, sings. (viii)

WIND AND WATER

 

WIND AND WATER

 

Laughter and tears simulate the heart,

Provoke turbulence, pacify calm in fact,

Rebuttal ignominy and aloofness stay,

Flows the primal love, display the way, (1)

 

Gold and property absent the cottage,

Granary cornfields serene a hermitage,

Rain pours, settles dust, freshness, joy,

Cattle graze, grassland cow herd boy, (2)

 

Playing the flute, the wind carries far off,

Swans in the lotus pond, children scoff,

Dusk and dust storm, the cow herd returns,

Bell in the neck rings nostalgic mourn, (3)

 

Golden crop wind plays waves attract,

Cow feed, straw, thatched roof, in fact,

Soil and water, mud wall, sweet home,

The cool shade, no fan, comfort warm, (4)

 

Dust storm and torrential rain, visible,

Wet thatched roof and water trickle,

The aroma, wet air shivers limbs, throb,

Another world, a paradigm, sadly rub, (5)

 

Diametrically opposite busy city life,

Stay in the concrete world full of strife,

Wind blows, blow up tower boards,

Rain inundates streets, homes accord, (6)

 

Azure sky turns gray clouds and pours,

Sand bed of the river in spate cover,

Leaves murmur and wind play a song,

White music and a drizzle stay long, (7)

 

Human breath and thirst, a metaphor,

Wind and water sustain lives, enamor,

Gift of nature and God, impermanent,

Obvious is extinction, feel prominent. (viii)

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

Impenetrable, opaque, the darkness,

Life requires proceed, spontaneous,

Unseen pitfalls, a challenge onerous,

Nervous, a spirit encounters distress, (1)

 

Under a carpet, blunder mischievous,

Mind plays havoc, life suffers, serious,

Belief in the darkness unseen moves,

Across the age and gender yet prove, (2)

 

Mind  is complex, confounded, pity,

Conscience goad right path assiduity,

Rejects the option and consequence,

Inescapable surrender in a sequence (3)

 

Lies a ladder downward face trouble,

At the bottom, life realizes a bubble,

Lamp burns in the heart, the chamber,

Confess and convey the Lord somber, (4)

 

Profound peace and bliss, cleanse sin,

Light radiant, show a path, in between,

Melts the darkness opaque prismatic,

Vibrant facts annihilate lies, systematic (5)

 

Lesson: to speak at the right time, act.

Experience adds solution, easily react,

Hopeless situation fades, happy is life,

Written in the memory a present strife, (6)

 

No quarrel and condemnation require,

Yesteryears, sorrows, pain, and despair,

Proposal from none, all self-realization,

Automatic healing survival precaution. (7)

 

Bird singing, flowering, colorful, awaken,

Happy life, resourceful fights unshaken,

Decent proposals, the mind answering,

Relentless questions, solutions, findings. (viii)

The winter, flowering, astonishing,

A summer, dry leaves fall listening,

Match human struggle, hope hook, (4)

 

Metamorphoses caterpillar, a view,

Success underneath, results sizzle, (5)

Swing into action, opportunity yell,

Never comes once again defiantly,

The mission of life to flower swell, (6)

Hit hard crumbles nightmare well,

Materializes fantasy, all fallacy fails, (7)

 

Human heart, mind, and soul, a life,

Creeper untimely flowering thrives,

Secrecy to survive and grow color,

Replica epitomizes a vibrant flower. (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)
