UNRULY MIND

 

UNRULY MIND

A thousand oil lamps lit a happy time,

Crackers, noisy, lighted, inflamed fine,

Fluorescent bulbs, colorful, strings,

Sweets and cuisine festival life sing, (1)

 

Time to buy gold, silver, and cherish,

Dream and desire, the reality wish,

Departed monsoon, weather clear,

Holiday and worship practice favor, (2)

 

Opulent joy mischievous heart mix,

Corroborates suffering misery fix,

Winter on the anvil happiness trail,

Scar of the rainy season flood quell, (3)

 

Bountiful harvest granaries attract,

Before the fall blossom lively react,

Azure sky, white cloud, migrating bird,

Marshland feeding ground, reward, (4)

 

Nature, picturesque, proliferates life,

Verdant valley forest travelers like,

Before the fog, biting smog inspires,

Short and enchanting moment fires, (5)

 

Stunned, the mind rebels reject all,

Life, the bitter test bestowed recall,

Paranoia, the fall disheartens a soul,

Disappear mesmerizing life, a goal, (6)

 

Fragile the dream, colorful rainbow,

Pale and gloomy states mind show,

Creeps into life, tension, the tragedy,

Survive counter sufferance remedy, (7)

 

Calm and quiet, unruly mind prevails,

Accept the situation reality, a sequel,

The thirst desires, and a temptation,

Like volcanic lava, hot flow emotion. (viii)

UNLEASH PASSION AND SERVE

 

UNLEASH PASSION AND SERVE

No reward, marching forward, vigilant,

Security of the nation is a duty sacrosanct,

The nation moves, builds, and prospers,

Protect lives exchange life encounter, (1)

 

Inhospitable terrain, weather trouble,

Carry the gun bayonet nature humble,

Silence penetrates intensely, challenge,

Walk alone, the night terrifying, haze, (2)

 

Unseen pitfall or predator and enemy,

Indomitable courage instinct uncanny,

Far from family or children and parents,

Supreme duty for the country warrant, (3)

 

Occasional letters from love and child,

Tearful reads patiently, the heart wild,

Leave not granted concern, the border,

The responsibility of the land shoulder, (4)

 

Sleep on earth, eat and drink meagerly,

Border post far from the city, eagerly,

Threat to life cordially invite, courage,

To the youth of the nation, a message, (5)

 

Raised from the soil, merge someday,

Sacrifice the epitome, pave the way,

Born and die certain in life, immortal,

Gratitude of the people, pray formally, (6)

 

Proud wife and children, stay sadly,

Memories hunt at times, show madly,

Supreme sacrifice a solace, at hours,

The coffin, guard of honor, showers, (7)

 

Savior for the land warrior reminds,

Unleashed passion and serve, finds,

Leave examples bolster spirit shown,

A border guard, guard of honor, earns. (viii)

CLAY COIN POT AND DREAMS

 

CLAY COIN POT AND DREAMS

Innocent life, tender heart, the future,
Grandmother's stories attract, allure,
Imaginary king, place, queens, servants,
Crumbles a royal life, horrible instant, (1)

Gold and diamonds, all preserved,
Empty was the castle time reserved,
A horse with wings flies and vanishes,
Childhood memory, fantasy cherish, (2)

To be big someday, heart yearns well,
Rich and famous prosperity: a sequel,
Mud cottage thatched roof contrast,
Rise through all steps, ladder, at a fast, (3)

Tiny finger, he counted the steps a lot,
Clay coin pot and dreams and effort,
Failed to count and slept manifested,
A pot was full of gold, soul interested, (4)

The castle queen maid all attending,
The dancer in rhythmic step singing,
Tasty food cuisine fruit were served,
Dawn broke, crow harked preserved, (5)

The clay pot is intact, partly empty,
Immersed in thought, collect hefty,
Long past the memory lane tracks,
Clay pot is still intact, interest lacks (6)

Childish dream the human wishes,
Crumble imaginary clay pot pieces,
Float the king, queen, turbulent life,
Encounter struggle, challenge strife, (7)

Quiet hours heart wishes be a child,
Impossible in the illusive world wild,
Clay coin pot and dreams with hand,
Life passes, the human ever stands (viii)

RELIABLE LIFE

 

RELIABLE LIFE

 

Hope and azure sky sail white clouds,

Hopeless dark cloud and fear shroud,

Flock of birds fly, noisy, jovial, the life,

Pouring rain, soaked to the bone, strife, (1)

 

Fear shadow, horrible, failure attempt,

Reminds, a sinking boat, life contempt,

Savage times endeavor averted sadly,

Heartrending cry fuel life listen madly, (2)

 

Razor-sharp borderline hope frustrates,

Inescapable, surrenders, life devastates,

Shattered the dream, fragile aspirations,

Life stands at the crossroad as a cauldron, (3)

 

Accident and sickness, depression deal,

Immeasurable sufferance surprise heal,

Invite blossoms, honey bee buzz round,

Inspire welling tears joyfully surround, (4)

 

Broken bones healed and fractured life,

Spring and boundless thrill evade strife,

Past the ghost no more hunts well fade,

New beginning, renewed vigor, a tirade, (5)

 

Gift of unwavering soul, calm candle lit,

Dispelled the darkness, objective bright,

The mission and fusion of love enamor,

Achievements, a goal, clear, encounter (6)

 

Success, peace, and prosperity, dedicate,

Praiseworthy human life acts promulgate,

Mind plays a ditty game, passion and lust,

Life plays impassioned quietude or trust, (7)

 

Humans face agony, misery, and wounds,

Discovers solution gradually acts lauded,

Reliable life, instinct to survive, example,

Path of life meets thorns, avoids trouble. (viii)

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.

Search a river and run for weeks. (7)

 

Saw a bunch of grass on the rock,

Spacious water flows, wind mock,

Sweet memory, a dream unfolds,

Sunrise and sunset pictures hold. (viii)

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)
