MELODY AND MADNESS

 

MELODY AND MADNESS

The drizzle white music of rain creates,
Silent the night whispers promulgate,
Cold wind, dry leaves, noisy shimmers,
Twinkles star full moon light glimmer, (1)

Nesting season, a flock of birds' noise,
The chirpings hypnotic flight, voyage,
The thunder, lightning, frightening,
Listens to rhythm, writes poetry, sings, (2)

Waterfall roaring noise fountain inks,
The trickle of water bubble time link,
Spring arrives, a nightingale sings well,
Summer time mangroves cuckoo yell, (3)

Early dawn, a hen and a crow shout,
Temple bell rings, a cow herds, routs,
The dust cloud behind, cow bells ring,
Oil lamps lit, humans pray and sing, (4)

Nature writes and plays music well,
Poets' heart inks poems, songs dwell,
Innumerable scripts tune happiness,
Motivational and romantic impress, (5)

The stage, stepping, and dance light,
A symphony hypnotizes, a play delights,
Resound the hall, viewers feel, enjoy,
Recorded and broadcast trigger joy, (6)

Cinemas, favorite songs, permanent,
A composition, a combination, talent,
Blare the melody, streets pervade,
Erases pain, sadness heals a tirade, (7)

Nature and human voice, magnetic,
Melody and madness songs exotic,
Gifts of God, songs, tears, laughter,
Imprints, permanently remind after. (viii)

AN EMPTY BUCKET

 

AN EMPTY BUCKET

Pouring rainwater to the brim, savor,
Unexpected fueled the mind, enamor,
Crowded, sweet home, noisy, reminds,
Lonely life, the shadows painful finds, (1)

Spectral hues of the dew or rainbow,
Azure sky, white clouds, mirth show,
Bright sunshine hidden pale lament,
Hazy horizon, ambiguous life torrent, (2)

Dream castle crumbles, failures hint,
Feel bewildered soul nearing, extinct,
Sipping courage. fragile fighting will,
Bucket the hope expect change anvil, (3)

Untiring effort expectation assimilate,
Fruitful life colored vision promulgates,
Washed out desires, dreams, and love,
Quicksand of life destroys, fails, resolves, (4)

Soothing voice, decent promise came,
Fascinating to fallacy proved the same,
Looked away, forgotten relationship,
Turning point of life search courtship, (5)

Rose flowering praise showering tell,
Fallen petals condemnation, life hell,
Brittle glass mirror fracture intimate,
Disfigured, a beautiful figure indicates, (6)

Expectant eyes wait for bright dawn,
Clouded overcast mind verily mourn,
Patience running out, the heart cries,
Heartbroken to grab scopes pacifies, (7)

Unfulfilled dreams fail a reality show,
An empty bucket elusive mind knows,
Dream rarely materialized or bucket,
Hope and love solve the basket. (viii)

A ROLLING STONE

 

A ROLLING STONE

 

The stony heart is sterile, unstoppable,

Uprooted soul running down capable,

Disconnected from the reality values,

Uncontrolled the spirit virtue, misuse, (1)

 

Fail to contribute a contradiction, say,

Gather no moss masquerade display,

No love attachment, faith, and show,

Crush obstacles, unhesitant, follows (2)

 

Lacks, interest, asset gold and home,

A pedestrian's life, a baggage, alone,

Discards a mission of life, unmindful,

Sings the song of life, abstract, awful, (3)

 

The guitar strings lost rhythm, touch,

A symphony, a melancholic song search,

Steep slope and roll speedily life tries,

He is not a nomad, laughs and cries, (4)

 

Not pain, suffering, and sadness fail,

Immune to the harsh reality, a sequel,

Avert cry for help yet selfless or mute,

Detached from the human, no dispute, (5)

 

Silent, barely quarrel, avoid bitter fight,

Runs forward his nature, scarce fright,

Unaware of anguishes bruised, brittle,

Solitary walk path of life, a tear, trickle, (6)

 

An inert stone, round, rolled, at the bottom,

No more movement downward, storm,

Motionless for eternity a life resembles,

Wind plays with leaves, branches tremble, (7)

 

The wanderer lost direction and static,

A rolling stone gathers no moss, a fact

Humans' lives replicate a mirror intact,

Vibrant nature, happiness, love, ecstatic. (viii)

Threat to life cordially invite, courage,

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

Born and die certain in life, immortal,

Memories hunt at times, show madly,

Supreme sacrifice a solace, at hours,

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

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)

Empty was the castle time reserved,

Rich and famous prosperity: a sequel,
Mud cottage thatched roof contrast,
Rise through all steps, ladder, at a fast, (3)

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)
