May be only when we all know for instance that the world
can live in peace or succumb to war that we may
accept consequences of our actions perse?.
Is it not that nature is bestowed with every kind
to solve her problem or at least ease something
yet man on the other hand may be frail or faltering or
even sometimes egoistic to let say assume or instead
side it without even first kind of thought or gesture?.
Sha we may only find that peace unless the mind is always
remembering and appreciating it against howsoever
for instance?.

You see we take care not to
confuse well being for
peace or business for economy
or being dying for revitalization
or rodenty for let say bee or sun or corn or fish.
Yes?, because we wore uniform

in any case meant the country is almost acquainted
with killings killings and a through murder familiarity
or for goodness sake howsoever mocking

Assuming weapon is a suggestion

Sky merging with earth
An illusion called horizon
Life merging with pleasures
An illusion called success
Square meals and a cozy sleep
Minus craving for endless keep
Loss and gain howsoever deep
Contentment is a joy with sweep
When one amasses the heap
Lure for more and more beep
Fears, alarms and qualms creep
Worries, not the serenity steep
Life is lovely and precious, not cheap
Delight and fulfillment one may reap
With tranquility and calm, not the leap
Life’s blue waters are not ankle-deep

“The suturing thread of the bejeweled hearts
may snap, the shadow of love remains ornamented”-
Quote by poet
The indelible image etched in my memory,
the tide of time couldn’t tow to the obscure sea. ,
In its shimmering shore on the satin sands of hue
I engraved ornate lattice with pearls of love for you.
The seraphic spectrum of sunburst sky’s lilting lure
contoured the radiant facsimile of my desire demure.
Our harmonic hearts took the entwined shape,
ornamented by sublime moonshine of longing drape.
I couldn't free your bejeweled ivory hands to depart
as I felt exhilaration fervently flicker in my heart,
flashing on your face like the luster of twilight,
I was consumed in the flare of craving delight.
You’re gone where your destiny has taken you,
your shadow lingers in my yearning threshold I view.
I sense your enduring aura that won’t wane soon,
embellish you with argentine glow of amorous moon.
I won’t forget that night howsoever I try abandoned,
your sequined shadow in stardust I won’t see unadorned.

What a profound blessing is Mother nature
In its hands and human gratitude lies our future.
The birds in the sky. and the mountains so pristine and high
The trees are so green, and the streams and headwaters are so clean.
All of the nature work in harmony to breed and nurture lives
Can anyone match its prowess. howsoever hard one strives?
Alas! We mistreat. misuse and exploit our biggest boon Unless we wake up now. we will Lose it too soon.
The rampant use of chemicals and plastic. is so very drastic
Do we all not know - it is not a joke or sarcastic.
The Marine Life in Oceans and Seas. are all living in unease
Human greed and instinct are making other animals extinct.
First the Dodo. after that Mamo. then the Thylacine, We Lost them all. yet we remain selfish and mean.
Wake up, Rise and Promise - Friends, young and elder Let us stay blessed with Mother Nature - our only shelter.

The indelible image etched on my memory canvas,
the tide of time couldn’t tow to the obscure ocean. ,
In its shimmering shore on the satin sands
I engraved the lattice of my love for you.
The romantic spectrum of the sunburst sky’s fire
profiled the radiant facsimile of desire.
Our harmonious hearts took the entwined shape,
joined by the charming thread of sublime sunray.
I couldn't release your luring hands,
and felt my exhilaration fervently flicker,
flashing on your face like the luster of twilight,
I was flushed with the flare of craving delight.
You are gone where destiny has taken you,
your shadow lingers in my longing threshold.
I sense the enduring aura of your yearning,
like the argentine glow of the amorous moon.
I will never forget that night howsoever try I might,
as with stardust tinsels I adorn your shadow bright.

My memory carves an image indelible,
time could not take it away in the flight.
On the shore of shimmering sea
I weaved my love for you,
with romantic spectrum of the sunburst silk sky,
painted the profile of future landscape.
Our hearts beating in harmony took entwined shape,
as the sun sank to set, passing us by,
I couldn't release your hands I knew.
I felt the joy, so free
could flash on your face like the luster of twilight.
I was flushed with longing incredible.
Your yearning touch I still feel for it’s durable
like the glow of pole star I saw that night,
but you went where you wished to be,
far away from my view.
I can’t forget that night howsoever I try,
with moondust lattice your shadow I drape.

Proud of having in veins Anglo-Scottish blood,
hound is the suitable surname I have earned
for the tireless tracking instinct ingrained in me,
an exclusive pedigree of rare gene manifest in
razor-edge sharpness of a keen sense of smell,
captured by profuse olfactory receptors well.
Unleashed in countryside thicket in the wild
I excel as prized hunter of agile animal blood,
no less accomplished in tracking human scent,
howsoever feeble and distant that might be,
a singular trait that makes me make a mark
tracing criminals as super-sleuth bloodhound.

I tried to hold onto you but could not—
You slipped through my fingers as water will
When run through a sieve. And how like the plot
Of some dime-store pulp it all seems now -- shrill
Yet so furtive. I tried to be humble,
To seem nonchalant; but came off shallow,
Unfocused, both surprised when you’d grumble
And childishly petulant and callow,
I’m embarrassed to confess. Now you’ve left:
No chance now of reconciliation;
No excuses now, howsoever deft,
No third party’s neat adjudication
Can heal the rift between us anymore.
Nothing tastes so bitter as one’s own words,
Or punctuates quite like the slamming door,
No matter how tenaciously one girds
Oneself to bear the shock. Regret may well
Be futile, but it’s hard indeed to take--
Like some malignant fairy’s baleful spell
Which no consoling words can ever break.

A HEARTY EXPERIENCE
Bad cholesterol found easy sites in my heart for deposition
Time came when they needed to be cleaned by operation.
Two stents were planted by what they called angioplasty
My heart would survive if the arteries didn't again get nasty.
As medical treatments were getting day by day costly
For future financial relief I got a health insurance policy.
I realized the meaning of the saying nothing lasts forever
When some years later my heart in angina started to quiver.
No options left, I had to lie once again on operation table
The doctors did their job well to make my heart stable.
The rightful claim of expenses the insurer refused to cover
For I had more than one stent placed already as heart saver.
I then realized howsoever in the ads the offers glint
In real life one shoulda read the fine print.

In the dreary battlefield why he has to die
A soldier away from his family and home
Orders to march and kill he has to comply
The time for him to think doesn’t come.
Fortified with strong nerve and courage
Across the firing line he would venture
The thought of death is out of his visage
He would strive to strike like a thunder.
He has a duty, a mission to accomplish
Save our lives and defend the nation
He doesn’t know if he would live or perish
His mind like a bee is busy in action.
In victory he celebrates his rewarded toil
Anguish penetrates the psyche in defeat
Marching over dead bodies his mind recoils
For whom war is fought he would often posit.
A martyr, he turns an instant national hero
When the worrier is brought home dead
If the war is won or lost he wouldn’t know
Time forgets the tears his kin would shed.
An unsung person is also a hero to me
Who sacrifices a lot even life for our cause
Howsoever trivial and small it might seem
For him in my heart I would grow a rose.

Jose, Harvey, Irma, Gert,
Cat. Five puts us on alert.
Howsoever they are named,
Mother's fury can't be tamed.
Churning, roiling, liquid wall,
looming four-plus metres tall.
Floods of biblical expanse,
survival just happenstance.
Wind whipped into lethal squall,
hammers those trapped in its thrall.
Sturdy palm trees battered flat,
Man and beast lost habitat.
Follow devastation's trail,
turmoil on a global scale.
Home and business torn apart,
plucking at strings of the heart.
Lacking basic requisites,
in amongst the detritus.
Mourning all that has been lost,
how begin to count the cost?
Thank the selfless volunteers,
who assist their stalwart peers.
Former tropic paradise,
scene of noble sacrifice.

Oh baby, come and take me
Take me away and set me free
This world is very brutal
Won't understand what is true love
I am ready to walk howsoever long
So what,if the path is of thorns?
This world is up to proving me wrong
I know,your arms is the place I belong
Baby,I can't wait for a minute
Every second passes like years in plenty
Oh baby, come and take me
Take me away and set me free
Our dreams are calling us miles away
Got to climb mountains everyday
Then there are the oceans to take over
Baby you are with me, I've got no fear
What are we waiting for ,you tell me
Hold my hand and let's start the journey
Oh baby, come and take me
Take me away and set me free
