Due to days of desperate dreams
Base of the Bay of Bengal borne
Hazardous heirship in the directing diplomacy
Nowadays, need the native nationalist
To save the sacrosanct dispensations of democracy
Come, come to capable the country career
And abate the aberrant amoral anatomy

Confused skyline
Smog curtains;
Choking sensations
~~~~~~~~~
Dry weather
Dehydrated skins;
Hope awaits rain
~~~~~~~~~
Blank page
Thought channels words;
Poetic lines echo
~~~~~~~~~
Cursive strokes
Crisp overtures;
New mint in old style
~~~~~~~~~
Moonlight indigo
Skyline illumination;
After hours prologue
~~~~~~~~~
Abrupt shades
Dusk hurls mimes;
Another masquerade
~~~~~~~~~
Happy hours gossip
Alcohol indulgence;
Cynical dispensations
~~~~~~~~~
Hope floats
Love survives;
Faith lives code
~~~~~~~~~
Rain pours heavy
Drenching wetness;
Lavish permutations

Blames and allegations
Conceited self-admiration
Habitual fabrications
Never ending Justifications
Maligning reputations
Backbiting and deceptions
Derogatory manifestations
Avoiding responsibilities, remembering dispensations
Friendships and betrayals
Unjustified humiliations
Killing exasperations
………………………..
This needs proper clarifications
We need moral and ethical upgradation
Focus and proper determination
Instead of shortcuts and distractions
This world is one and we have beautiful relations
Empathising and developing patience
What we are is our creation
Education inspires aspiration
Life is a pledge, we are not on vacation
Race is not just about directions

Hostage
I'm hostage to Payne's grey
ninety percent of my mind
My star is quenched in heavy clay
despite the worlds dispensations
Flowers in a vase
Gifts of nature's bounty;
Fragrant beauty adorns
~~~~~~~~~
Lizards stride
Wall to ceiling;
Snacking stray insects
~~~~~~~~~
Gold fish bowl
Swimming jewels;
Watery perfection
~~~~~~~~~
Glass of wine
Fragrant red tint;
Nature's own vigour
~~~~~~~~~
Idyllic vineyards
Land stretching far;
Grapes for the wine press
~~~~~~~~~
Stray flowers dance
Wind blown wayside;
Grass verge boundary
~~~~~~~~~
Nature's abundance
Pomegranates and persimmons;
Fruit basket gift
~~~~~~~~~
Temple visit
Gifts for ancestors;
Lovely dispensations
~~~~~~~~~
Rooftop garden stroll
Busy bees buzzing;
Honey industry
~~~~~~~~~
Noisy nestlings
Evening feed secure;
Treetop apartments
~~~~~~~~~
Late evening breeze
Cold wetness chills;
Rain on the way
~~~~~~~~~

Wakeful dispensations....
Traveling down reproaches weaving road at the speed of mono sound!?
Disintegrations decay within the rearview mirrors fiery blow-by-blows
Smoke and debris transformations strewn about whirlwind trails of sins
Destructive tales to form this phenomenon through, vestibules cryptic....
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
....Crucible amid, assimilations abstract theory?!
