DREAMS AND HEAVEN

 

DREAMS AND HEAVEN

Fallen desires and shattered hopes,
Eloquent voice, fascinations elope,
Wish and reality class sadly, shows,
Anxiety and anxiousness yet grow (1)

Trek of life path, narrow face gorge,
Imagination fuels aspirations to surge,
Induce sensation, a mirage, a shadow.
In busy city life, humans find windows (2)

Fewer opportunities to escape, fails,
Pollutions, smog, and dust prevail,
Incessant noise, bright night lamps,
Closed window lonely path damps, (3)

Dizzy height skyscrapers doctrines,
Flow of wealth emptied in streams,
Seen heartbroken tears, devastated,
Survives the human spirits, instead, (4)

A temporary phenomenon appears,
Fizzle out the nightmare disappears,
Hope the key to solutions open trek,
Dreamland and paradise luck, shake, (5)

Crystal clear blue lake, snowy peaks,
Verdant valley, the azure sky sneaks,
Cluster of boatmen, sail to heaven,
Unfolds the dream desires awaken, (6)

Not a ton of gold mansion or status,
Humans search for peace and focus,
They win happiness, love, nature says,
Ideal life stays ahead shows the way, (7)

Dreams and heaven converge, dwell,
Culprit mind cons, vision shine quell,
The root for solace, nature lovers tell,
Heart and true health, facts unravel. (viii)

MIRAGE OF TEMPTATION

 

MIRAGE OF TEMPTATION

 Chilling winds burning woods, hearth,

Thatched cottage, earthen floor worth,

Warmth of sweet home aroma magic,

Frosted leaves, absent flowers, tragic, (1)

 

Bumper harvest granaries full, dream,

Paddy crop and grains flow in streams,

Year-long effort output farmers earn,

Bullock and cartwheels, laugh mourn, (2)

 

Dense fog shiver limb winter bonfire,

Fairytale mysterious lives and desire,

Perpetual happiness pleasure grows,

Unrealistic, illusive world sadly shows, (3)

 

Fewer violent storms, harsher climates

Draught or flurry of floods confiscate,

Festivals, dance, and song confluence,

Humans disbelieve, realities influence (4)

 

A year later, a peasant sat in the field,

Wild grass spread quickly, a future shield,

Countless dreams, hazy sunlight shares,

May the New Year repeat love inspire, (5)

 

Fertilizer, seeds, and the utensil require

Planning to go with women yet inquire,

Wealth, property, and gold, boldly dare,

Empty pocket exorbitant cost despaired, (6)

 

Sweeping thought in the mid-field flow,

Heaving a long sigh, relieved, knowing,

Coconut tree fails to give mango, truth,

Fewer desires materialized, failed both (7)

 

Between the horns of a dilemma stood

Mirage of temptation trap understood,

Apparent vision, the heart yearns vanish,

He looked at the golden crop, cherries. (viii)

SECOND LIFE AND WISHES

 SECOND LIFE AND WISHES

Emancipation only dreams, distress,

Hunger, poverty, roofless, life witness,

Illiteracy hunts, study the nightmare,

Lack of funds, cursed souls compare, (1)

 

Friendless or absent foes, ignominy,

Pain, miseries, sorrow are company,

Bondage chained to fate and horror,

Lack clothes shiver in winter armors, (2)

 

Frigid heart, fewer emotions, senses,

The pink health youth lost, pretence,

Turbulent thoughts unspoken words,

Silently beseech a life, looks forward, (3)

 

Dried tears forgotten years imprinted,

Rarely saw happiness, love, life tainted,

Distant from blind rages and remorse,

Submit, surrender, obey, of course, (4)

 

Neither Gold nor boldness humble-life,

Adhered to honesty, simplicity, or strife,

Failed to see the protests, face it gently,

His life was a caged bird and perfectly, (5)

 

The soul wished to fly freely in the sky,

Encounter troubles, solve desires defy,

The valley of happiness, peace, and love,

He built his sweet home, luxury above, (6)

 

Sunrise, an orange sky, a flock of birds,

His soul will sail with clouds forwards,

He listens to a beautiful song at night,

Full moon and nightingale ivory light, (7)

 

He will smile and laugh aloud, yet cry,

Second life and wishes dream or sigh,

Credence to rebirth incurable dream,

It was sunsets and flowing streams. (viii)

DEFY THE DARKNESS

 

DEFY THE DARKNESS

 

Predator, fear in the mind stalks,

Stroll on the pavement or walk,

Opaque to searching eyes doubt,

Imaginary ghost troubles sprout, (1)

 

Weeping lamppost, fireflies buzz,

Killing the surreal silence, it causes

Not a sight of a human in a lonely place,

Hunting feeling, anxiety, disgrace, (2)

 

Unique experiences, identity lost,

Chilling bones fight, live at a cost,

Fewer matter gold property view,

Primal instinct to escape or a few (3)

 

The glowworms tree and branch,

Shimmers cold winds, dry leaves,

Bonfire, a few people's warm arms,

A passerby took a long relief, live, (4)

 

Enchroaches fog moistens the face,

Distant home reminds, its surface,

indistinct reach destination sadly,

Path of life in the darkness madly, (5)

 

Mission and destination of the haze,

Each step of life progresses a phase,

Proceeds human, relentless, hope,

Believe the sunrise finds the scope, (6)

 

Impermanent the darkness in fact,

The mind harbors blindness intact,

Horrors, a temporary phenomenon,

The night, dark, the path, motivation, (7)

 

Instinct warms the pitfall and saves,

Defy the darkness, protect life well,

Peace and tranquility, pacify, prevail,

The night, illusory, and life paves. (viii)

DEEDS CONTINUE TO LIVE

 

DEEDS CONTINUE TO LIVE

Impermanent human life is certain,
Impossible to think spirits return,
Epitaph if humans indicate name,
Disappears passion and the same, (1)

Vanishes tortured life and worry,
None exist dreams desires, ivory,
Like a line on water, fame vanishes,
No longer exists life to love, wish, (2)

Fade happiness and pleasure quickly,
Cremation pyre plays melancholy,
The story began and ended sadly, trail,
Memories of the person duly fail, (3)

A gust of wind untraced surprise,
A temporary phenomenon prize,
Matchless human life, the breath,
Ends the story, realization, wealth, (4)

Pour emotion thought deed etch,
Accolade, admiration, praise fetch,
Influence lighted a dark mind, say,
Sacrifice self-interest paves a way, (5)

Do or die, save others, motto heal,
Benign hearts implement, reveal,
Anniversary of birth, death, or idol,
Celebrate happily, obeys protocol, (6)

Headlines of golden deeds remind,
Immortal books, novels, library find,
Generations fewer forget, read well,
The concept and vision shine, dwell, (7)

Deeds continue to live, a monument,
School college plantations incident,
Cities and roads, services manifold,
Remember, a person's name is gold. (viii)

CLOUDS OF HOPE

 CLOUDS OF HOPE

 

Gimmicks puzzle the heart allure,

Mimics, artificial happiness ensures,

Tricks of the mind trap well torture,

Pyramid in the desert, illusion show,

Pirated health and wellness, it knows,

Pivot fates of life, fame, and fortune,

Pummel enormous vigor opportune, (2)

 

Fascinate verdant valley or enamor,

Fallacy dry river bed flurry of flood,

Canvass of  escapade successes, sock, (4)

Rejuvenate clouds of hope, attitude,

Resurrect pale mood, the sun bright,

PROFESS THE DAWN

 

PROFESS THE DAWN

Chilling wind freezing night a fright,

Curled up limbs under a blanket fit,

Shiver at dropping mercury shaken,

A dawn breaks, fog invades, awaken, (1)

 

Enviable the Sun, hazy light a havoc,

Farmers walking to the field, a sock,

Bullock carts or men begin the day,

Life demands hard work in many ways, (2)

 

Frostbite of flowers dampens hearts,

Winter morning village picture arts,

Bemoan the spirit aspiration check,

Effulgence profusely visible breaks (3)

 

Uncanny sense of uncertainty stays,

Create doubts and suspicion, sway,

The smog inhibits enthuses deride,

Stays challenges of life well decide, (4)

 

The dawn heart mourns yet active,

Days, precious for work, life survives,

Trouble life struggles, an endeavor,

Success and achievements in vigor, (5)

 

A plethora of pleasant moments feel,

A myriad of fascinating dreams heal,

The past flurry of flood or summer,

The blistering heat death or rumor (6)

 

 

Clean and fresh, imbue confluence,

Fewer seen tiredness yet influence,

Disappear the humdrum of life tell,

Lonely boulevards, lamp posts yell, (7)

 

A lazy morning, lethargic limbs cry,

A bright day, fortunately, stays, defies,

Proved wrong profess the dawn sing,

Life resembles a bullock cart rolling (viii)

THE RIVER AND LIFE

 

THE RIVER AND LIFE

 

The ocean extends, horizon to horizon,

Bottomless depth, inhabit life motion,

Oyster rejects salt, drinks rainwater

Humans depend upon natural water (1)

 

The source of human life sustained well,

Fertile land, bumper harvest, and hail,

Food, water, cloth, and shelter to hire,

The civilization near the river inspires (2)

 

Centuries after customs, traditions stay,

Festivals and celebration love display,

Livelihood travel by boat carries goods,

Fishery desirable dishes enrich foods, (3)

 

Path of life, a sojourn in the river show,

Discovers the ocean, the path known,

Attracts waterfalls, rivulets join well,

Human life eventful thoughts dwell, (4)

 

The crystal clear water or white surf,

The colored pebbles paradise dwarf,

Life, picturesque personifies, dominates,

Like a river influence satisfies intimate, (5)

 

The verdant verdure mountain peak,

A river flows through a gorge, a creek

Infinite peace and happiness bewitch,

City lives, milling crowd noises switch, (6)

 

The flood and flurry of human anger,

Devastating lives witness the sufferer,

Critical factor for nourishing life well,

Dishearten a dry bed of a river quell, (7)

 

Arrival of rain, hope, revive, captivate,

The river and life coexist, confluence,

Timeless intimacy entwine influence,

Life resurrects, recognize her, intimate. (viii)

HYPNOTIZE DUST CLOUDS

 

HYPNOTIZE DUST CLOUDS

Closes the curtain of life Earth shows,
An evening orange sky quietly glows,
The sinking sun tired limbs soul wish,
Dream and achievement well cherish, (1)

Pervades darkness, stars twinkle, glow,
Profound peace and bliss heart know,
Penetrating silence diminishes chirping,
Among the mangrove cuckoo singing, (2)

Mural of rustic lives, cowherd return,
From the grazing field back home yearn,
A bell in the neck ringing, mesmerizes,
A dust cloud behind, hours surprise, (3)

Unknown thrill throbs a heart view,
The vigor prefers rest, dream renews,
Bountiful harvest granaries full, stay,
A gentle breeze, golden crops sway, (4)

The cowherd boy, his flute touching,
Magical moments display enriching,
The aromas of the thatched cottage,
Dinner for the peasant love assuage, (5)

The cows moo, milk, a calf dance,
Hope and aspiration play, enhanced,
Festivals celebration cow fascinate,
The source of a livelihood indicates (6)

Spring or an autumn phenomenon,
Dried straws, fallen leaves, emotion,
Dust settles quickly, wind devastates,
Tranquility or solitude promulgate, (7)

Obscure the village invisible at night,
Temple bells ringing, the lovely sight,
Thrilling story of the village life allure,
The beauty and serenity exist, appear. (viii)

A MORSEL OF FOOD

 

A MORSEL OF FOOD

Palatial mansion gold reserved,
Gadget, furniture all preserved,
Domestic servant, maids serve,
Thirst for popularity, heart love, (1)

Life walks on wealth and prosperity,
The body rejects food assiduity,
Tasty food or a variety of dishes,
Health does not permit misses (2)

Satisfaction pseudo impression,
Survival is a critical factor, a reason.
Fame and fortune exist in hunger,
Erroneous attempts, show anger, (3)

Fresh air, clean water, or nature,
Surprise, life disappears pleasure,
Life searches for food desperately,
Sleep and comfort follow lovely, (4)

Witness the elusive world envy,
Sumptuous meals feast in a privy,
Outside the barricade disparity,
A pair of eyes hunger for charity, (5)

A philanthropist distributes food,
A survival with water life brood,
Opportunities rarely happen, feel,
Denial of rightful life yet reveals, (6)

Observed orphans, octogenarians,
Rejected by society, a cruel man,
Orphanage or the shelter home,
Provision of food survives some (7)

Fertilizer, water, and light, a seed,
Foods for the tree grow indeed,
A morsel of food for life, human,
Survives, grows strength, he can. (viii)

Miracle of nature, flower blossoms,

Dance and song and tribal customs,

Verdant verdure mountain or peak,

Sunrise and sunset views, intrinsic, (1)

 

Waterfall and crystal clear streams,

Fountain of happiness hue dreams,

The azure sky, flocks of birds flying,

Sensational experience life untied, (2)

 

The mangrove cuckoo sings, imprint,

Listen to the beautiful life, an instinct,

Unknown pleasure and breaths show,

Assures a golden tomorrow and glow, (3)

 

Chicks wait impatiently, chirp noisily,

A morsel of food, being fed, cozy life,

Tiny the nest's budding lives groom,

Spread wings, white furs to fly soon, (4)

 

Thunderstor,m lightning and winter,

The dry river bed blistering summer,

A magic wand mysteriously protects,

Life on Earth survives, grows perfectly, (5)

 

Fascinates the migrating birds, cross,

Cross continents or oceans, at a loss,

Symbol of peace propagate, essays,

Harmless free life freedom message, (6)

 

Nightingale and melody influences,

Silent night speechless experiences,

Human heart and infinite hopes ink,

Wings of the fire spread wishes link, (7)

 

Sweeping emotions creator's show,

Life fledges pours hope, love grows,

Hatches big bird, procreation exists,

Hope Earth survives peace persists, (viii)

SUNRISE AND THE FUTURE

 

SUNRISE AND THE FUTURE

Orange hues lighted the peak hypnotic,

Tiny kids and teens disbelieve, ecstatic,

Mesmerizes the sunrise and tomorrow,

Erases ghosts of the past, hidden sorrow, (1)

 

Myriad of hope confluence desire well,

Glisten expectant eyes, unknown dwell,

Scintillating silence, the wind shimmers,

New Year on the anvil wishes whispers, (2)

 

Ignorant of the violent world or fearful,

Unseen poverty misery, life is peaceful,

Far from burning anger, life devastated,

Innocence rule tender heart decorated, (3)

 

Running after dragonflies or butterflies,

Rainbow of teenage happiness surprise,

Enchant streak of sunrays, spray, allure,

Far below, hazy the horizon encounters, (4)

 

Unknown kingdom, the paradise unfold,

Surreal feelings, views, intoxicates, mold,

An hour as if, apparently, a second rings,

Labyrinth of delicate tissues thrills, sings, (5)

 

Time is the river, flows slowly, year ends,

Sorrows and happiness, yet shores bend,

A child's life is a test of uncertainty, challenge,

Success and failure entwine, kids change, (6)

 

Ignorant of romantic heart or throb stay,

A fragrant lotus in the pond, and display,

Soft eyes, beautiful eyes, or a sweet voice,

Jubilant to watch the sunrise, he rejoices, (7)

 

Far from the mundane world, noise, hazy,

Pinkish, their chicks lure sweet face, rosy,

Watch, sunrise, and the future of a teen,

Fascinate the new world love in between (viii)
