LOST MEMORIES

 

LOST MEMORIES

Flash back village scenes, childhood,
Her life, hard work in a field, for food,
Followed her at sunset, dusts, aural,
Hazy tree lines, horizon spectacular, (1)

Cruel summer, sowing season is busy,
Closed school, steal mangoes, crazy,
A lotus pond I was swimming, well,
School friends, we were playing hell (2)

Under the shade of a tree, eat rice,
Cows and bullocks, rest, find peace,
A distant mountain and thick forest,
A river flows quietly, beauty attests, (3)

The grain fields and farmer ploughs,
I ran among the golden crop laugh,
Evening shrouded the darkness full,
A lantern, firewood, kitchen, beautiful, (4)

A temple oil-lit lamp and bell chimes,
Mother was praying silently, in rhythms,
The sunrise bullocks move to the fields
Granaries, a bumper harvest yields, (5)

Mango buds and wet Earth aroma,
Spring in a bridal dress, a panorama,
Rain comes, water-filled grass field,
Enjoyed the winter chill bed shield, (6)

Cine motion of my village life touch,
Remnant is my youth or age, much
Auburn hair retired life contemplate,
The transcendental peace intimate, (7)

Crazy life, busy bustling metropolis,
Feel sad to roll back the clock wish,
Lost memories imprinted, golden,
The sunset, glow of dust, life molten. (viii)

OPEN THE WINDOW

 

OPEN THE WINDOW

A dark room, a worried, gloomy mind,
Clueless, a life, sadly, can never be found.
Tension fears hunt darkness prevail,
Feel within a dungeon, hearts rebel, (1)

Agonies link falsehood crushes the soul,
Debacles are an enhanced search goal,
Lethargy lacks energy synergy, denies,
Allergy to endeavor successes defy, (2)

Cry bitterly, beat the chest hard, fail.
Sleep on the bed, dream a night scar wail,
Planning and ethics will be devastated?
Lonely on a footpath, sadly humiliated, (3)

Listen to caustic remarks and abuses,
The sock, lowering eyes, a lot amuses,
How much can one withstand change?
Wants bright light ruefully life craze, (4)

In many ways, a mirage disappears,
The fresh air, healing rain moistens,
The noise of busy lives rushing traffic,
Attracts to attempts mingle terrific, (5)

The scenic beauty of nature at sunrise,
Cloud, flying cranes, pigeon surprise,
Mountain, the river, and the forest greenery,
Alluring, admirable sight, the scenery (6)

At sunset, dusk clouds, the cow bells ring,
Temple bells chime, oil lamp to sing,
Infinite peace, blissful, merciful God,
Overwhelm jovial mind vision accord, (7)

Lily seeks the moon and the lotus, the sun.
Velvet grass fields, wildflowers, life runs,
Sunlight washed the dew-laden meadow,
Get up now, watch, open the window, (viii)

Socked human life, dry in vain,
Why eyes have tears, do endure,

Lighten heart, soften mind, sad,

Mysterious duality, equal offers,
When life is joyous, the revert suffers,
Emotion mind sprays a fountain,
Ink, colorful, sadness, black rain,
Life faced hunger, depravity, hell,
Undone, incapable inks to quell,
Forget humans, time passes quickly,
Only when happy enjoys rarely,
Wave after wave, human life is sad,
Disappear happy life wants mad,
Nothing is available to life thinks,
Aloofness, hunger, sickness, link,
Page after page, pen helps write,
The book, novel, poem, fame, sight,
Touched the heart of humans lit,
Sequel to stories pen inks insight,
This is the world we praise blindly,
Pen and ink with color touchingly,
Unknown authors anonymous,
Their pen and work became famous,
They saw from closeness miseries,
Happy life amusement adversaries,
All visits suddenly, life, quit shatters,
Getting friends losing equal matters,
Crumbling capital greedily resists,
Famous novels with a great pen light,
Lost lives, underworld, sad stories,
Hair-raising thrillers pen mysteries,
Pen the consciousness of humans,
Free voice equal liberty inks can
Published spread world over soon,
Awaken human mind object boon,
The symbol of knowledge ever lasts,
A pen is part and parcel of life, ink fast.

AGONISE OF THE PAST

 

AGONIES OF THE PAST

Loved the heart, looked like long hair,
Sparkling eyes emulated a deer pair,
Eyebrows, if arrows, long nose, lips,
Earrings, a necklace, surprises, sips, (1)

Intoxicated proposed yet rejected,
A life was in sorrows, felt dejected,
Submerged in a silent tear unspoken,
Sadly, he lost her without a fight (2)

Searched for her in a park, a bus stand, lit,
Unable to find her rationality drift,
The pain stayed as insane in horror,
Ever love, a bond snatched forever, (3)

Long beards, torn clothes, unsavory,
He was sitting on a platform, sorry,
Utter disbelief that he found her looking,
Failed to respond, his soul mistook, (4)

Shriveled skin, sunken eyes, smoking,
The misery, torture, she was crying,
Could not tolerate his condition, hug,
His inert body lost emotion or throb (5)

Lo, united the couple love springing,
Blissful married life is a time of singing,
Their children's studies were going well,
Happy parents, children's results excel, (6)

Chicks fledged, flew far off, settled,
Sweet home, couple's desires fade,
The man reclined in the chair vacantly,
Leaned her head on his chest fully, (7)

Memories flooded both of them lightly,
The sadness of missing time is slight,
Sitting close together, love is everlasting,
Tears sipped lips, agonies of the past, (viii)

 CLOUDS IN THE SKY TERRIFY

Horrid times, arid and parched fields,
Blistering heat pummeled the soul yields,
Lust to live another day attachments,
Perspiring mortality, in detachments, (1)

Desolation covers sparse crowds, say,
Empty asphalt streets burning a way,
Dry the river bed pond dried horribly,
Thirsty hearts and lips search terribly, (2)

The peasants with turban looking up,
Sowing time is near, to clean the weeds,
Disappointing blue sky merciless stay,
Cool shade under the tree, a lunch lay, (3)

Mango, pineapple, and other fruits ripened,
Festivals to invite a monsoon-smitten,
There is a hailstorm, and ice is falling,
Clouds cleared totally, summer recall, (4)

Dried wild grass, fallen leaves ignited,
Forest fire at night is often sighted,
At midnight, hear the thunder wonder,
Arrived rainy season, jovially plunder, (5)

It is pouring day and night, flooded,
Fields full of water, pray hands folded,
Clouded minds of draught disappear,
Mind's sky terrifying, a reality appears, (6)

The river is full of lilies growing in the ponds,
Velvet grass field verdure allure bonds,
A waterlogged metal street has less motion,
Showers, horrible umbrellas to caution, (7)

Bullock to plough peasants with a hat,
Mother Earth lovingly embraces impact,
A rare, blissful, peaceful life shows defy,
Drenched fully, clouds in the sky terrify, (viii)

PIPE DREAM

 

PIPE DREAM

Twilight descends, darkness, thick,
Reminiscence overwhelms, yet trick,
Lone wolf, today, misses the opportunity,
Obstinacy, procrastination parity,
Sunk in the ocean of sorrows, sad,
Distrust the world around, forward,
Unambiguous inattentive errand,
Not a criminal lunatic, yet remanded,
It happened, like a bolt, from blue,
Encountered the sage, shocked view,
The serenity, calm posture present,
Stood dumbstruck, surprise nascent,
Failed to compare awestruck think,
Initiated to talk about his life, yet link,
Left his home from childhood, way
Connected with hermitage dismay,
Strict life disciplined begging move,
An adult crossed the country, proved,
Does not possess assets, property,
Radiance, knowledge, personality,
Primal pleasure at youth instinct,
Luxury, comfort, wealth, distinct,
Those were pipe dreams, melted sad,
Run after gold, life passed, but mad,
Anger, greed, jealousy, and overtake,
Worthless, farced age life segregate,
Distrust the world, human life is sad,
Encountered the sage felt awkward,
Yes, humans can dream, pipe dream,
Peace, happiness, rewarding stream,
Accompany the enlightened person,
Twilight years, loved transformation,
Discovered the pipe dream or light,
At the end of the tunnel, get sight,
Today, a changed lifestyle, discipline,
Stays at home, practice, soul divine,
No more lone wolf Lord's presence,
The objective of human life is immense,
Pipe dream, unachievable, experience,
Once rejected by people in eminence,
Never believed to be loved, admired,
Divine life daily practice due to hire,
Attachment material things stream,
Benign divine life gold pipe dream.

THE TURNING POINT

 

THE TURNING POINT

Ignominious suppressed perplexed,
Failures and frustrations, depressed,
Puzzles ironical fate, destiny, a road,
The willpower sweet dream corrode, (1)

Stolen hope desires an unfortunate,
Atrocious behavior insults decorate,
Abominable careless life, less repent,
Sorrowfully, a life wasted and spent, (2)

No longer sympathy or lost longing,
Life loses gold, jewelry, belongings,
Less known for sadness, shed tears,
Phenomenal the mask guise wears, (3)

Far from temperament, irrelevant,
Hardly seen, desperate life lament,
Concluded the world, an illusion,
Dried up the tidal waves, emotion, (4)

Thoughts cycle and life rolls swiftly,
There is a bend on the path quickly,
Miraculous transformation happens,
The courage, strength, grow, sharpen, (5)

Miles to travel and milestones await,
Profusely sweating, hot Sun, skin wet,
Figment of imagination, only a fallacy,
Resonate successful life, feel ecstasy, (6)

The pivotal moment in life has changed,
Outpour confidence vision amazed,
Bright future hope confluence, fact,
Beseech opportunity, sweet life act, (7)

Contented life, bemuses the bend,
The turning point of the life path tends,
The trek is serpentine, leads, invites,
Achievements, glorious deeds excite. (viii)

WITHIN FOUR WALLS

 

WITHIN FOUR WALLS

Inking is not for a lifelong prison,
Sinking not for a rebellious vision,
Drinking venomous lines, written,
Tricking innocent, corrupt, stricken,
Not an intention for imprisonment,
Confined lifelong suffer precedent,
A door opened, warning never to cross,
A window door ajar, life at a loss,
Countless thoughts silence enwrap,
Limitless waiting, patience, life traps,
Eyes still unblinking express nothing,
Her heart, shouldered with a love ring
Patience tests for a mother, enveloped,
Years and decades rolled by, developed,
Her room, Lord's picture frames,
Her deep faith prayers are afame,
No escape, she woke up at midnight,
Fearful, worried, saw a dream fright,
The wick, oiled lamp lit, azan in tears,
May her child return quickly, appear,
Nothing happened, no letter informed,
Unspoken, her question unanswered,
The immeasurable pain for her child,
Least succumbed, motherhood mild,
Unearthly soft heart love undiluted,
Distance to time hardly her polluted,
Looked at the milling crowd traffic move,
Find, identify, and recognize to prove,
Still at her door, open, and waiting patiently,
No smile, ageless hunger saw openly,
Does not know freedom under veils,
Within four walls in a room she dwells,

GRANDEUR

 GRANDEUR

Silent sipping pleasure infinite,
Not gold jewel happiness delight,
Heavenly peace, heart tune well,
Searches beauty enchant dwell,
Run after wealth, fame, glamour,
Temporal illusive sad disappear,
Run after the beautiful female craze,
Fairy from heaven, exact mirage,
Unable to attract status assets,
To love a woman, captivate, test,
Wonderland grandeur desert lit,
Expands to the horizon and defeat,
Discover oasis, cold, clean water,
Shade of palm trees dream here,
Apparent illusive the world sure,
Lifelong searched, find grandeur,
Observed passion burnt, ridden,
Travels in life, sympathy hidden,
Serve and love elaborate efforts,
Deprived orphaned kid comforts,
Wipe tear feed enough embrace,
Oasis, finds child, enjoys solace,
Found, sick, elderly persons, sad,
No one to look at them, awkward,
Penance, saving income, serving, well,
Divine duty grandeur slow swell,
Not physical substance material,
Infinite joy, happiness is magical,
The heart experiences speechless lit,
Silent grandeur greenery, invite,
Next is the dimension of divine glory,
Unimaginable matchless story, (viii)
Nature, pristine beauty, enticing,
Waterfall fountain or hot spring,
Animal life, bird, plant, attractive,
Humans are native creatures,
Play, sing, and dance, roam wild,
Grandeur God-gifted lives yield,
Saying, thinking, committing a mistake,
Leave perpetual happiness wake,
Material glimmer skin attractive,
Name, fame, status, assets, lucrative,
Glamour is not grandeur ample,
Serve and love, nature mingle.

SURREPTITIOUS GLANCES

SURREPTITIOUS GLANCES

Today got soul mates reminiscence,
Remind yesteryears, with innocence,
Love unspoken eyes met yet averted,
College days, fragile heart, a lot sighted,
Wrote a letter of undiluted admiration,
Kept inside a drawer, soaked in emotion,
Those were days with no mobile internet,
Behind followed failed to communicate,
Gentle, polite, and suave, a dignified picture,
Silently observed personified nature,
Felt small, feared to express openly,
You looked back, messaging slightly,
A moment was as if perpetually diminished,
The distant failed to cover yet wished,
Education job career pulled us apart,
The books at your bosom walk intact,
Letters to feeling in a diary written vainly,
Thought about you in the nights, insanely,
Where are you staying, if you remember?
Busy life, clueless, searched, reminder,
Love is immortal, unites hearts, sheer,
We met on a long flight, nearest dear,
Unspoken words, unanswered smiles,
Proposed that day dared no lifestyle,
Gathered the courage to show the diary,
She read the pages and had little enquiry.
Handed over the diary, looked straight,
Question, why failed years to intimate,
Then and there it finished, got united,
Marriage is only ceremonial; a lot is recited.
Closeness, understanding, it enhances,
Teases her with once surreptitious glances,

VERDANT VALLEY

 

VERDANT VALLEY

Forest covers the hill, all,
Meadows do enthrall,
Flora fauna imprint,
Brook animals glint,
Never forget fresh air,
Flower spring inspires,
Pool a lotus remember,
The heart loves pure,
Peace, happiness, keep fit,
Love care share golden kit,
Amidst nature, life is secure,
Waits forever, dear, I prefer,
I invited you to seek a reunion,
Wait a little for your letter to come,
Silent tears, morning dews,
Breeze your touches infuse,
Dawn, dusk, golden valley,
Mimic your aura feels folly,
Green-fields soft recline lot,
Err, your dress on lap alert,
Whispers weed tiny flower,
Feel you in a silent shower,
Love is a flower, lives short,
A valley witnesses your most,
Simple human life pure,
Nature-friendly, secure,
Mind deviates outward,
Dear, you got a reward,
Wait for you a remnant,
Hope the valley is verdant
Moonless, stars, a night,
My love, I seek to miss sight,
Silence in the hut is melancholic,
Let you feel happy, feel ecstatic
Asleep, in a dream I saw,
Morning sun beacons glow,
Knocks door, someone now,
Got awake to see dawn break,
Watch you in disbelief takes.

PIQUANT LIFESTYLE

 

PIQUANT LIFESTYLE

Honest at the behest of a quest,
Inner moral hearts to request,
Indefinite paths in the forest look,
At a loss to proceed, fear hook (1)

Metaphor abhors the mind tell,
Illusory hallucination, wait, hell,
'Me', and mine minefield defeat,
'You're right, my might leads fight, (2)

Gold ornaments, deer eyes trace,
They hunt but are blunt, merciless,
Possession subjugation scarcely, (3)

Envy the privy, jealous mind cries,
Anger the hunger harbors defy,
Guise surprise all pretence say,
At the crossroads, it affords a way (4)

Dissects thought infects the behest,
Disappear, gloomy and hazy fear,
Bright sunshine temporarily here, (5)

Wakefulness shakes laziness, vive,
Realize before the dusks survive,
The heart is full of love, a lotus bloom.
Pink lotus petals, fragrant soon, (6)

Kindness that impresses, expressive,
Service to the needy God is sensitive,
Addiction is dedication, not wine.
Intimacy is celibacy, soul to refine, (7)

Sweet, sour, chili hot spices, sugar,
Human life often imitates regular,
Nature alternates mood in the cycle,

Has the Almighty forgiven or heard requests?
Bestows the folded hands or pretext (5)

Changed appurtenance outlook troll,
No longer the same attitude, but pensive,
Molded the mind inward responsive, (6)

Temporary is a lifetime insight preferred.

Measure blood pressure as an effort,

A watch on the wall she was watching,
Unknown to her, she is praying,
If a patient sees the dawn, lying, (5)

Her healing touch, a feeling of caress,
Alert, watchful, and active she sits,
Cleans urine, injects blood bottle, (6)

A sick person will see light, a scope,
Improving health recovers slowly,

A sick recovered released quitting,
The duty of a sister is happy, weeping. (viii)

LONG ROAD

 

LONG ROAD

Witnessed famous life stories,
Staggering performances series,
Unimaginable, daunting task fit.
Courage aspiration belief quite,
Stay anonymous, grassroots, life,
Book of life, a long road, in strife,
Enormous self endeavor, victory,
Not one countless brave history,
A ticket collector in a railway play,
A famous cricket player displays,
Success showers money and assets,
Unknown face to known attests,
A man at the petrol pump he serves,
In a few years, his name will deserve to be,
A wealthy industrialist rises steeply,
Miracle, an unknown face, rises fully,
A tea seller, childhood, less dream,
Fate honest working hard stream,
Over a billion people believe,
For a decade, he has ruled a country striving,
No one knew him, an unknown face,
Billion plus the nation love trace,
A child was selling newspapers,
He was the son of a poor fisherman
Studied merit scholarship at a higher level,
A famous scientist of land security,
Actor, professor, leader, writer, list
A long road, human life, and tryst,
Sequel to progress each step sad,
The thorn under the foot bleeds mad,
Alone, lonely life, humans know,
Bitterest fight hostile events rows,
The firm conviction rational steal,
Tomorrow is unbelievable, reveal,
The long road has pits, crevasses,
Challenge of life lost, not fantasy,
Look at tall trees fighting for light, try,
A tiny plant loses sunlight to die,
The long road span of life equals,
Not a deer but a tortoise wins, visually,
Long-road procrastination indicates,
Superstars shine on a phenomenal date,
The long road life finds its objective,
Short or long road human relative.

CAPTIVATES A NIGHT

 

CAPTIVATES A NIGHT

Alone on the rooftop sat at night,
Full moon, millions of stars delight,
Bathed in silvery light, clouds hide,
Twinkling stars all messages reside, (1)

Uncanny solitude, silence, musical,
For an hour sat listening to the primeval,
Distant universe life raises doubts,
Unknown world a paradise scouts, (2)

Gentle breeze whispers undecided,
Moisture on hair cools decoded,
Far from the distance, the cuckoo is singing,
Resounding a temple bell ringing, (3)

Overwhelmed musical night seems,
Nameless existence to moon beam,
Learned minute presence illumines,
Silvery light washed sadness shines, (4)

The black spot on the moon is beautiful,
Human misdeeds correction spot dutiful,
Bright the human heart, radiant lightly,
Eyes matched with the moon slightly, (5)

Lonely roads below pavement wail,
Lamp post in gloom, melancholy tells,
Casually barks a dog shadow moving,
Drowsy, heavy eyelids, valley dreaming (6)

Slept, saw blue fairies' paradise allure,
A dream comes as a night of peaceful failure,
Weep the night with dew, dawn soon,
Vanishes the sweet dreams in a cocoon, (7)

Slept on the bed, a warm sheet cover,
Continued the heavenly feeling pure,
Prayed, Almighty, may awaken sight,
Loneliness and silence captivate a night, (viii)
