Dusk darker themed—
Eventide, where I drifting, dreamed
Softly sighing, stars arcing gleamed
Moonlight and shade pass over me.
My life and day now pass away
While in the glooming dusk I lay
Time abides till our final day
Then whisks us up and far far away
Into that darkness flecked with light
Seeking our place midst starry night
Silently roams the meteor,
Left to right—
Pray, a gleeful soul taken flight?
Far far above the moonlit blue
Turned the living orb, shining-new
Passed the horizon a glow endue
The Sun, golden, dawning into view.
You are not lost,
when you endue poetry:
never homeless,
unloved,
discontent ...
All is jubilation,
when you own poetry:
possess fruits,
flowers,
romance and
harmony
too... !
Today is special as every other day
Though its a remarkable day to be reckoned with
That's not a myth it just an hint.
Blessed be the day I met you
Not a day is worth living without you.
Breath may cease but life continues
With you the journey is short
Let's pose to take a shot
Miss the target my temperature gets hot
The remedy may endue cost
But love is Worth the cost
Your cheek are comely with rose of jewel, with chains of gold around her neck
A bundle of myrrh is your love to me
I will make thee border of gold with stud of silver
I don't need light to see things right
Your illumination enables sight
Let the savour of your ointment pour on me
A cluster of stars appears in my heart
Emerald of precious stone
compared to the air I breathe
Never a regret I met you
My beloved is mine, am hers,
We will continue on the same path
Walking beside me by the river side
Casting our net to the other side.
I love you with the love of Christ
Its more than a special way to express my love
Happy Valentine's day .
Love affair.
Endue us your godly light to realize
What we have forgotten who we are
We selfishly tried to seek our own security
And have exploited our own ends
We have misused our own power.
Endue us your godly light to realize
Not to destroy the beauty of creation
And add something to that beauty.
A sense not to destroy only for avarice.
Lest we may misuse our own power.
Endue us your godly light to realize
Never to corrupt the Earth’s music
Creating confusion of honks and noises
Thus wrecking appearance and beauty
Lest we may misuse our own power.
Endue us your godly light to realize
Dry lands’ thirst to refresh them.
Show us the way to cleanse the rivers
Choked with debris and pollution
So that we may make good use of power.

ABC-THE OCEAN'S ALLURING COLOR
The ocean's alluring color
may appear to be aqua or blue;
it changes with the density of light,
and all its dazzling beauty it can endue
to make an amazing sight!
ACROSTIC--HOW BEAUTIFUL!
Hurtle as agile seagulls do
Over its rageful waves glide
Westward purple clouds meet a dawning sun
Beware of the furious wind when it howls
Eeastward the sloggish moon approches
Another night filled with mysterious sounds
Utter nothing to yourself, move forward
Trees hide owls with their scary coos
Inside the moon's sphere many faces appear
Funny how they look staring at the bright ocean
Urging it to turn dark, so they can easily rule
Long enough to captivate the human mind!
CLASSIC ALLITERATION-CREATION OF THE OCEAN
Once the ocean was a huge valley,
then God made it rain...it wasn't folly;
for countless days and nights it came down
as it was filled to capacity an early dawn.
But there's was something missing,
and God thought, " Beautiful fishes I will place into it:
from big to small to give it life everlasting."
So that divine thought gave the Earth another aspect!
People say you are inimitable,
And they often acclaim you!
But there is nothing so special,
Like we human endue!
Why don’t you make some noise?
Why don’t you dress up colorfully?
May be you don’t have any other choice
To color your life delightfully!
Sky being gazar…
And gems sewed in it, is star
Well, you surround us with blanket
When would you serve us with banquette!?
Learn from us stars,
Learn from us…
How to shine, even when atmosphere never permits you
learn to creep and touch the moon,
learn to be unique in spite of your clusters.
Though you constellate you never intimate to each other.
Hey, don’t look at me with livid eye
all the above is not because of my vanity.
You are the only wonder in the sky
Who would live even after we human die!
Though you stand far apart,
you sow the seed of verve in heart
and whirl as a wheel for the cart,
to join people who depart.
Finally I learned
To make even the darkest night to upbeat …
Fill me with Your love
And dip me in Your joy;
Pour and smear Your oil
Of anointing on my head.
Set me on godly Fire
With your precious Holy Spirt,
And with the mighty rushing wind
Fan the eternal flame.
May I speak with cloven tongues
And wisdom in every city.
Endue me with your power
To be your witness.
So, let the siren sound
Throughout town and country
As the nation is set ablaze
With a wild and consuming Fire.
