EMERGING GLOBAL PEACE

 EMERGING GLOBAL PEACE

Specter of violence, conflicts, and war,

Devastated the countries remind scars,

Class of civilization custom traditions,

Animosity creates the wall of religions (1)

 

Fratricidal fighting, fractured society,

Alacrity life confined grows insecurity,

Growing mistrust, tension, and fear,

Elusive golden peace, faith disappears, (2)

 

Affects livelihood, poverty spreading,

The gloomy pictures of Earth reading,

News broadcast cataclysm and havoc,

New millennium after Covid feel, sock, (3)

 

Fire erupts, the automatic culprit, humans,

Promotes animosities, worms of cans,

Fails coexistence booms, sadly,

The world prepares, compromises madly, (4)

 

Devastated nature polluted and peril,

Vanishing species, the extinction seal,

Green Earth barren fields bald peaks,

Dry river bed, draught, death sneaks, (5)

 

Realized humans, consolidate amity,

Better rebuild, amend, live in security,

Forestation controls carbon emission,

The global phenomenon, revolution (6)

 

Community of Nations peace maker,

Heal scars of the past, secure sheer,

Increase travel, commerce, festivals,

Dissipate conflicts, disappear rivals, (7)

 

The white dove flies high in the sky,

Rising emerging global peace, defy,

Cleansed clean life, happiness, love,

Save from global extinction, resolve. (viii)

A TOKEN OF LOVE

 

A TOKEN OF LOVE

 

Difficult to define cement the hearts,

Exchange of feelings, transform facts,

Show of tears and laughter intoxicates,

Relationships and intimacy vindicate (1)

 

Hope and fear doubt, suspicion play,

Trust and belief faithfully glow, sway,

Started an apprehension or shy look,

Rely life forever sweet dreams hook, (2)

 

Probing mind question listen to life,

A pair of loving birds ignore a strife,

Misunderstandings, silence, enrich,

Separation magnetic pull yet reach, (3)

 

Infinite romantic short story, series,

Confluence of happiness, pleasures,

Face criticism, avert tension, worries,

The bond between hearts measures (4)

 

Walk hand in hand, shoulders, invite,

The park, seaside, riverbank, excite,

A few hours, apparently like years,

Memory diehard, reminiscent wear, (5)

 

The couple plans for the sweet home,

Desirous soul views pictures, awesome,

The future is a rainbow in the sky, tests.

Realization far furlong failure attests, (6)

 

The mission  is an objective separate,

The love birds patiently wait indicate,

Long letters, rose petals scented fuel,

Reply triggers heart throb hope dwell, (7)

 

Arrival of the man embraces emotion,

A token of love, moving commotion,

A wrist watch and a purse, gifts as well.

Symbols of passionate hearts prevail. (viii)

WINTER NIGHT AND BONFIRE

 WINTER NIGHT AND BONFIRE

 

Autumn departed the fall ends show.

Spine-chilling cold winds time knows,

Ended the torture of a flurry of floods,

Relief from scorching heat and blood (1)

 

Leafless bare branches sing a sad song,

Consoles bright pink roses write long,

Cattle curled up wither the cold fine,

A harvest is over, bumper crops shine, (2)

 

Transcontinental birds left the lakes,

Desolate feeding marshland, traces,

Morning mist, thick fog, spectacular,

Dew-laden grass sparkles particularly, (3)

 

Azure sky and white clouds sail lazily,

Lost the verdant valley greenery, silly,

Dry bed of the river, thin blue stream,

Wild flowers and droplets of the dream, (4)

 

After sunset, the orange glow diminishes,

Silence and solitude intrude, unleash,

Confined to home, humans, warmth,

A fireplace and palm or face, worth (5)

 

The blanket, turban, and gloves in use,

The piercing cold stays warm refuse,

Dry skin drives the heart to scratch,

Mural of winter, human life, a match, (6)

 

Foggy night, watch the moon and stars,

Invisible for some time, focus scars,

Distinct, the galaxy, universe, space,

Life hibernates or a cocoon surface, (7)

 

Beautiful sight, unique show night,

Winter night and bonfire, a delight,

Unite the bond closeness, a lesson,

Bonfire, the light of life commotion. (viii)

INNOCENCE AND KINDNESS

 

INNOCENCE AND KINDNESS

Childhood unaware of the suffering,

Play, enjoy, feel happiness, well sing,

Unknown to their heart, life struggles,

Name or fame, fortune, time, smuggle, (1)

 

Blossoms fresh flowers, bright smile,

Touch them, turn their faces, giggle,

Bright eyes, dazzling teeth, presence,

Beyond circles of complicacy, sense (2)

 

The bitter fight, jealousy, and cruelty,

The heart is a pearl, feels not guilty,

Untouched resembles the lotus, pure,

Serenity and obedience life enamor, (3)

 

Sympathy and realization of a poor,

Share the Tiffin box water she pours,

Touch plights of pavement dwellers,

Child's benevolent mind yet allures, (4)

 

Their tears nectar drops at wounds,

A healing touch caressing surround,

Rare dream for gold, asset, property,

Need protection, love, and security 5)

 

A bright future ahead to contribute,

Achievements and awards, a tribute,

Spine of the country shows support,

Unseen faction rivalry rules rapport, (6)

 

Memory of childhood and teachers,

Playground of the school reminder,

A tall tree, and shade, decent wind,

Reminiscence slow motion yet find, (7)

 

Learned responsibility and burden,

Innocence and kindness live yearn,

The child rejects all discrimination,

Parental care advice adds emotion. (viii)

LUMINOUS FUTURE

 

LUMINOUS FUTURE

 

Diminishes hope life survives well,

Rebuilt fragile courage life prevail,

unanimous thoughts and dreams,

Materialize miraculously streams, (1)

 

Mimic the brooks, flow saturates,

Condensed ideas vaporize waits,

Influences the intrinsic interests,

Effort and wisdom act, intersect, (2)

 

Sabotage desires aspiration well,

Pitfalls steal success, worry quells,

Lost property, gold, and a status,

Obstacles devastate mind focus, (3)

 

Left family, friends, kin instantly,

Remorse rules the day constantly,

Unseen hand helps selfless, nail,

Escapes out of a black hole, hail, (4)

 

Pros and cons, innumerable play,

Golden period, bright future stay,

The key to unlock the mystery, wait,

Patience and perseverance fate, (5)

 

Turns the wheels of misfortune,

Do or die, battle cry, opportune,

Change the fate disbelieves life,

Surpasses the trouble and strife, (6)

 

Demonic dogmas procrastinate,

Annihilate fallacy effort dictate,

Long the story of fear and wish,

Path of life from tunnel cherish, (7)

 

Left the darkness, hope appears,

Stay hilarious, luminous future,

Precious human life panorama,

Between the horns, a dilemma. (viii)

THE RIVER MOVES SLOWLY

 

THE RIVER MOVES SLOWLY

 

Nature and beauty in motion starkly,

Mountains, forest, and the river, lovely,

Serenity, limitless tranquility expand,

A blue stream, like life, understand, (1)

 

Animals, cattle quench thirst, grazing,

Sand at the riverside, tall grass swing,

A flock of birds in a circle merrily chirp,

Mirror of the wings, still water sharp, (2)

 

White clouds in the azure sky, cotton,

Sails lazily, the river reflects heart, earn,

Absorbs peace and bliss and pleasure,

Quietude and happiness, find leisure, (3)

 

Hypnotize the sight, serpentine path,

A boat and boatman attract, worth,

Lifeline for commuters, distant travel,

Villager finds it convenient to unravel. (4)

 

Transport goods forward; life depends.

Fishery fisherman net crane pretend,

Bathing ghat people swim and enjoy,

Cool and clean water, cause it gives joy, (5)

 

Critical source for drinking water tells,

Cultivation depends heavily and well,

Fertile land bumper crops gift revive,

Life sustains by the river and survives, (6)

 

The source of life, journey, a miracle,

The moisture wet limbs water trickle,

Fresh air freshness root the river say,

Survive forest animals mission a way, (7)

 

The sojourn meets the sea path tracks,

The river moves slowly, lovely entraps,

Incomplete journey of the river cipher,

Human life resembles insight decipher. (viii)

NATURE AND REVELATION

 

NATURE AND REVELATION

A valley, the mountain, and the river,

Verdant meadows, tall trees cover,

The mist pervades bush leaf glisten,

A shower, raindrops, body moisten, (1)

 

Waterfalls, caverns, the cave dark,

Fountain, hot spring, shows stark,

Grassland wild flower, acute smell,

Fragrance replicate, paradise well, (2)

 

Forest animals graze lazily, with no fear.

Tigers, lions, and wolves hunt a deer,

The herd of elephant cheetah runs,

A flock of birds chirp a nest yearn, (3)

 

Crocodile in the river, fish flourish,

Fascinating nature well nourishes life

Rustic human life accommodates,

Profound peace life communicate, (4)

 

Imprints unearthly silence realize,

The quietude, healing, and surprise,

Fresh air flourishing energy flows,

Morning, sunrise, and dusk shows(5)

 

Seasonal phenomenon greenery,

Dry leaves shimmer dream ivory,

Without pollution, support nature.

The magnificence exhibits allure (6)

 

Nature and life, inseparable, well,

Resurrects life, nature's lap trail,

Wildfires, thunderstorms, winter,

New leaves sprout seed picture, (7)

 

Vital for the survival of living beings,

Nature and revelation life sings,

Terrify desert dry river bed rock,

Oblivion is nearer a picture sock. (viii)

FRAGILE COURAGE

 

FRAGILE COURAGE

Difficult to trust the eventful life show,

At the verge of failure, successes show,

Advises promise only watermarks,

Kith and kin nominally add a remark, (1)

 

Paramount to love wholeheartedly,

Serve and love selflessly and sacredly,

Dries out pouring love, surprising,

Help is a distant dream, sadly sing, (2)

 

Golden rule unwavering faith stay,

Mainstay life endeavor yet display,

Crumbles faith poison vision dwell,

Clueless to find support, effort fails, (3)

 

The world balanced belief is strong,

Practice and prejudice prove wrong,

Dilute life fails to believe the action,

Critical factors: passion and emotion (4)

 

Humans dream of fantasy or pleasure,

Reality proves the fallacy a treasure,

Crumble minarets, sand castle sheer,

Thirsty heart desperately wants fear, (5)

 

Gold and assets change hands sadly,

A wild human heart needs to fight badly,

Impermanent prosperity imaginary,

Attachment temptations look ivory, (6)

 

Last but not least, lust, passion,

The quicksand, mirage, precaution,

Creates weakness, traps the mind well,

Bitter fight life falters defeat smell, (7)

 

Still, humans survive victorious, win.

Fragile courage resurrects entwine,

Counter lust passion, lie temptation,

Trust and hope heal, courage learn. (viii)

DREAMS AND THE FOG

 

DREAMS AND THE FOG

 

Dispassionate for a romantic life trace,

Discordance with intimacy yet surface,

Not a love story, intimate relationship,

The pair of birds prefer courtship (1)

 

The heart searches, nature, the azure sky,

A morning mist, dew, wet Earth defy,

Moistened limbs, unknown thrill print,

The azure sky, white clouds, love hints, (2)

 

The falling leaves, green grass moist,

Cold wind, the November, the frost,

Hazy the streak of sunlight, warmth,

Visible happiness, tranquility, worth, (3)

 

Invade the fog, the canopy hides beauty,

Creative activity of nature assiduity,

Life prefers to sleep on the grassland,

A myriad of dreams create a magic wand, (4)

 

Butterflies, a replica of a dream, a rhythm,

Spectral color majestic hue the hymn,

Melodious whispers of a gentle breeze,

Winter morning sunlight fog surprise, (5)

 

A river bank, long grass, white flowers,

White waves, moisture-laden shower,

Fogs approach from the bank, slowly,

Sun rises, fog disappears, a dream likely, (6)

 

Hope and hopelessness test dreams,

Foggy future materializes in streams,

Opposite and unfortunate fate exist,

Crumbles the dream castle life resist, (7)

 

The phenomenon and game changer,

Apprehension and realization picture,

Dreams and the fog, the veil, the guise,

Butterflies dominate counter-surprise. (viii)
