**********
The frozen core of human activeness
where the temperament recklessly smiles,
sludge cascades from the blade's edge
A joyous opsimath emerges,
reminiscent of rebellion and aged books,
sturdy and infused with a grin.
His unique calling sign is the "lard of law."
He wears robes adorned with nimbus designs
and stands before a wall of questions.
He gathers information from insightful individuals
Every conundrum is a breach in the law,
And every victim wants to be obvious,
He repeats sharp retorts to the sentient
To the obstreperous, the zymotic throbbing of history.
He says that justice is not banausic.
She is a lissome Nereid,
dancing with eurythmic elegance through garbage.
Though weariness grasps the morning,
and moribund minds look for troughs, not summits.
He persists on—
a sherpa of the spirit,
bestow the noisome into view
where enlightenment flowers akin to vernal fire.
Justice is not a flaw,
It's beginning
It is Nemesis
the tiny thread that links,
the strained heart to the flimsy earth.
Revival
We humans wept for the revival
Nothing nor time can be at arrival
Yet, the redshift of revival was horrendous
It often creeps the dream of wondrous
Sadly, shirked the throbbing drums
Yes! The soreness after the bubblegum
Thumps that messaged the wounds
Click away the silly sticky bounds
We, humans, sobbed for the curves
And constantly impairs the scattered nerves
Universe testified the forbearance
By passing phases of physical sufferance
We, humans, unable to speculate the fade
They rolled the unexpected blades
Blades that cut and curse the embrace
And we kept shouting with space to trace
Time, clicks away the antidote for pure
And eventually vanishes the miles of endure
We, vulnerable, we, vulnerable
We, vulnerable, we, vulnerable
Newness wakes after a decade
Decade of dullness and bone headedness
Create the covering cure and activeness
Yet, unwrap the belief, yet unwrap the belief
We, vulnerable, we, vulnerable.
Walking way of time longest,
Inexorable; No goal has the
story of life; all are increasing
in the step, by step of breath
Nib of the poetic pen wants to fly
on the morning sky, by the fallen
feathers wants to draw the diving
sun; Autumnal dew hugs the rib-cell
of the poetic thought; longest sighs
are caring the time’s myth
No leave survives in the leisure time
Activeness of busy life is making
the pavement of past and future;
No present is permanent; unstable
mind on the greasy longest way of
Time; unstoppable all surviving kith

Always positive life
alive, physics, chemistry
body, soul, interaction.
We are this activeness,
reality without mime
we act out of necessity
to process harmony
carrying cosmic vitality,
exhaling all magic...!
the crow is cawing
on the perch of silky morning
dream snaring the sleep
waken stars going to life
light of activeness wins dark

I'm aware of everyone's faults and downside.
They will tear me since my life is now a façade.
I was fully immersed in this level of self-love.
Philanthropy is tied to being aware and sensitive.
Everything was flawed, but I was "in the zone."
Many people grasped my illusion and shone.
We have hit obstacles in vast areas of quietness.
Forlorn begets both activeness and idleness.
My broken and weak lines have torn asunder.
I was overwhelmed with blazing, imperfect anger.
My final aim in ecstasy is to leap off something.
The white mask implies that I wore it for nothing.
My commitment was prompted by optimism.
Dreams of virtue drove me to strive for idealism.
You will be cracked no matter how firm you try.
Even on brink of anguish, hope thrives and lullaby.

(From the office)
this 26th August, on the coming back road
In the bus I was in me; subconsciously I
Forgot the activeness of colorful outside
Outside was caged by the local cacophony of
Crowded vehicles and police checking out;
The license of the bus maybe was out of date
Date of my transcendental mind discovered
Another path; incalculable sparrows were
There on the mango tree beyond of the mosque
Mosque drew my attention to the silent graves
And rhythmic twittering of the birds; oh, where
I was I know not, but the afternoon holiness showed
Showed that- life is easy in an unharmed place
In silence, rhythmic life increases the natural grace

o Woman
you are not woe man!
Yes, not cause of rue-man!
you are woman
for man
you are better half
always
your activeness
indoor and outdoor
praiseworthy always
o Woman
you are the inspirational Being
for man; natural loving legislator
always for entire human
man
may not be your barrier,
may not be your life ending
may not be your blessings
nothing can be
if you find out your true individuality
o Woman
march ahead
march more ahead
this home is for you
this yard, field, road, port, mountain for you
the ocean, sky, world, universe....everything for you…

come tonight
be calm
be more closed
this is bed
bed of the far sky
starry flowers bloomed not high
moon blueness the sheet
soft more than autumnal breeze
come, be calm on it
close your eyes;
close the mind activeness
close the veins agitations
feel the breeze beside your ears
o love feel and smell the ethereal fragrance
feel the foam from where the Venus makes flying kisses
o feel, feel, feel the kisses and hug..........
sleep more silently than your dreaming

from unseen activeness of soul!
from a wise thought!
from insane excitement
by the ink
on the white apparel of plain paper
the sound is coming as speech
wrapping everything
it’s my bared poem

Seize me by lips
It’ll be kiss
Seize me by sight
It’ll be love at sight
Seize me by two hands
It’ll be hug
Seize me by breaths
It’ll be closeness
These all will be our magnetic lust and gratification love
I’m not near, yet, you’re in my mind of activeness
You’re afar, yet, I’m reminder of your chores
Love stays alive; awaken as the life of soul connection
This is best from both of this form
I don’t want go in this argument
Let’s come we both close together to the womb of lotus
Though we live afar yet it makes one core of hearts church

Old man or woman wants to do something
cause still alive he/she is on edge afar
Old man or woman wants to do something
cause wants not to live as burden on others

Bees, going dancing
Honey in forest flower
No time all to rest

Where is our destiny, & our activeness whence?
See the difference, it is from where to whence.
From morning to dusk, we work restless
Where is the the abode of peace, & mental happiness whence?
For arrogant, illiterate and unwise make this no sense.
Where is creativity and productivity, & the rhythm of work whence?
We should take care of our family, our friends don't avoid their defense.
Where is the dead heart, & the sense of the dead body whence?
My bravery is the dust of your door and fence
Where I should go, tell me, you can order me whence?
We should take our focus from our chin to the brain on the path hence,
Where to our milestone, in such hurry we go whence?
May our heart be happy and intense.
Where is our seriousness, & our activity whence?
Don't make youself useless and careless, Shahadat's sentence,
What is happiness, which is truthfulness, and rest whence?
Streets jumps from
The blind, deaf and dumb night
To the dutiful activeness.
The eyes of the street
Opens to the crowd
As the blossom
Unfurl its petals to the beetles.
The street,
All throughout its life,
Clings its eyes to the throng
Sharpens its ears to the vestige
The crowd, the trot
That passes have distinct sweetness.
The footsteps that rings with the anklet
Of the calm, young ladies
Is an adornment
To its flow of life.
The harshness of the
Busy steps
Marks strong scars
In the iota of each grit
The lane undergo
A vibration
Due to the grief
Of the orphan,
The widow, the helpless
And so on.
The avenue
Is the home for
The homeless,
Is the stake
For the old,
Is helping hand
For the helpless,
Is the husband
For the widow,
Is the father
For the orphan.
Its everything
For everyone.
The acts of the pathway
Is never ending,
It crosses the universe
And even the heaven.
And the street says,
“ I will be there
Unless you turn your
Face from me”
To all who give it a touch.
