~ Futility of the War… ~ 

☆

War’s dark legacy is a blazing trail of pain

Devastation of humanity, results but in vain

*

East or West, the flowing blood is the same

Peace’s fragile voice, strangulates in flame

*

Cities crumble, anguished humanity laments

With prosperity shattered, even hope retreats

*

Lives are devastated, fortune gets torn apart

Hunger & fear, envelopes the desperate heart

*

When war itself is a problem, causing divide

What amiable solutions can it ever provide?

*

Bloodshed and firestorm that rain only misery,

Causing utmost hunger, doomsday and penury

*

Tanks roll forth, or retreat in an utter disarray

Leaving the scars that would never fade away

*

Let the victor triumph, but with a hollow claim

But precious lives get lost forever in this game

*

O’ Noble human, so it’s better that war is averted

Let’s choose the compassion and empathy’s light

*

For our shared empathetic world & humanity sake

Let’s spread shining love, banishing gloomy night

~ Embellished Memories… ~ 

☆

Some  bonds  are  meant 

to  fade  away,

Yet  their memories in the

 heart  never  sway

*

Love never diminishes with

the  separation’s  pain

But deep  in  our  heartbeats, 

it lives, as  love in vain

*

Bonds  may  break  away 

like  autumn’s  hue,

But the endearing memories 

remain,  forever  true

*

As we share,  the love,

laughter  and  tears,

Its alluring fragrance remains

in our hearts, for years

*

As the paths diverge, and 

the wayfarers depart,

The  flame  of  love  burns

throughout in the heart

*

An endearing cosmic bond 

that  is  held  so  dear

Ignites emotive memory lasting

forever,  year after year

~The Gift of Joy… ~ 

☆

When you spread the joy,

it comes back to you,

A shared smile, plays a

 heart’s  melody  true…

 *

 In making others happy, you

reap a bliss of your own,

A sense of immense joy and

fulfillment, forever sewn…

* 

Kindness begets kindness,

while love begets love,

A chain reaction, sent from

the  heavens  above…

 *

So  let’s spread our latent

happiness, far and wide,

Having our own joy multiply

with  divine  bliss, inside..!

~ Venomosity… ~ 

(Here’s an attempt to analyse the venomous nature of humans and snakes.The poem explores the human’s artificial facade and the snake’s natural behaviour. The ‘human-snakes’ don multiple layered masks, hiding behind the mastery of deception, having a much more lethal bite…!)

☆

I’ve witnessed many a serpents

sloughing their skin,

Yet humans, donning faces,

prove more deadly within
*
But the conundrum remains

as to who’s more venomous?
*
The human-snakes wearing

multiple layered masks,

Or a wild snake, living in jungle,

playing its role of nature’s tasks!

Your sweet thought, a boundless sea,

A radiant gift, beyond cosmic present

Your radiant smile, a bliss in my heart,

Exceeds all the limits, never to depart

With generous warmth, it overflows,

A precious gift, as love forever grows…

~ Peak Realisation… ~ 

☆

In the  majestic  mountain’s  

towering height,

I found my form diminishing

Into  a  faint  sight

 *

 Looking back, tiny dots, like

pygmies, did stray,

The travelers I had left behind,

were fading away

* 

My mind, which was swollen

with conceit & pride,

But when encountered the peaks,

my false vanity died

 *

Inward and outward, mused

boundaries did cease,

A union formed, where my inner

essence did release

 *

If it was not for the humility,

what lesson did I learn?

If it was not for self-conquest,

what message did I earn?

 *

Beneath the mountains’ shadow,

and the endless sky above,

My  heart  felt  infinitely  small,

yet I rose in universal love

 *

Now, my  stature  scales  the

lofty   peaks  so  high,

In  harmony  with  nature,

I touch  the  azure sky…

~ Hollow Excuses… ~ 

☆

Mesmerizing excuses made, as a guise

You left, with hollow words in disguise

 *

Distances grew, a chasm wide and high

Memories of you, that refuse to die

 *

Those tears, woven in a shroud of pain

A heart, trying to heal itself but in vain

 *

Scars left in heart, a treasure to care

Forged in fire of parting, a legacy rare

 *

In a desolate land, I wander, lost & cold

Your memories, a catchy tale to be told

 *

Yet, in solitude, I hold on to what’s left

A heart, once full, now echoes, bereft

~ The Cremator… ~ 

  ☆

 Composed mind, unshaken hands

with calming glance

Witnessing life’s gory scenes

and  cremation’s  dance

* 

 Cremating corpses, scattered bones

and flesh decays,

Yet  they  stand  unfazed, with

an equanimous gaze

*

Lamenting strangers surround,

yet they’re like kin,

Their hearts untouched and

souls unperturbed within

 *

Homeward  bound, they shed

their  solemn  guise,

And join  life’s  revelry, with

joyous, grinning  eyes

 *

 Fists clenched tight, we arrive

with hope and fear,

Empty-handed, we depart,

when death draws near

* 

They’ve seen it all, the birth,

the  death, the  strife

Yet in stillness, they manifest

liberation of the life..!

~ Cycles of Life… ~ 

☆

I cupped my hands with

the water’s gentle flow,

And tossed the droplets high,

towards the skies’ soft glow

 *

They knew fated course,

to their destined shore,

And back to the river,

they flowed once more

*

I flung the seed grains

towards the heaven’s gate,

Aware of the earth below,

only has their hebetic fate

* 

They fell onto the ground,

with a gentle mild sound,

And in the fertile soil,

their roots grew abound

 *

Man takes to the skies,

with pride and might,

In fleeting glory, his spirit

takes a soaring flight

 *

When will you return,

O’ mortal mankind..?

To the depths of your heart,

where soul and love bind
