More Dazzling Than Gemstones

A glowing sun sets over the breezy coast 
battered by an angered sea,
and amid instilled peace,
percussion entices sadness
with its perfume from the contiguous jessamines
that smell stronger than the clustered cloves;
I neither contest nor seem contented with the inability
to satisfy this yearning with a  passion so infinite...
until I discover these emerald eyes
more dazzling than gemstones!

Woman, so highly desirable,
with a skin so soft and touchable,
let my manly arms embrace you and hide
your beauty in the deepest place of the mind...
where it can only grow larger than memory,
and retain its wholeness of simplicity!

Once you entrust that love to me,
I'll make certain that it reaches its extremity,
enough not to want any other 
who won't keeps his promise and doesn't love intensely;
dishonesty always defeats who is unfair! 

Woman, seeking out a dreamy night...
through the arousal of sensual emotions
ruled by a rampant desire, embellish it
with these emerald eyes more dazzling than gemstones:
to captivate and liberate me from a wait I can hardly bear,
so that I don't wear away as a river swallowed up by the water!  

A moon so glaring and displeased by unreachable distance,
illuminates what darkness made dull,
and approves of our unity by showing that beautiful
and radiant face without the usual spots;
and while it stands, it announces the sunrise of new days,
and I am grateful for these emerald eyes more dazzling than gemstones!

Landscape

To be lost in Her magnificence:
pristine and pleasant
alive every moment
renewing and moving...

To see the charm:
The charm of an Idyllic Spirit...

As I wander through
widespread wilderness...

My eyes' lenses capture
the flourishing bucolic beauty
of a breathtaking view:
a panoramic terrain of rugged hills
surrounded by grassy hummocks
beside a still lake - gleaming, 
reflecting the highland and steep hills
in yellow dazzling sunlight.

The foreground is adorned
with sunlit grey pebbles
glistening in crystal clear water
of the shallow unruffled blue lake.

The silent brown hill:
rough, rocky and lofty;
Wildflowers and bushes
embellish the distant ravines.

The steep towering hill
seems to whisper a secret
to the fleecy white clouds 
in the clear blue sky -

A secret no one heard thus far
in heaven or earth...

Premium Member Heart Configured Into Crystal Constellation

In the splendorous crown of my ardent heart 
shimmering in the glow of the indigo night,
you gleamed like the tinsels of the moon. 
I tried to feel your sapphire sheen touch,
but you drifted away slowly out of my sight, 
from the seeking sky I had sculpted for you. 

In the verdant vale of my cascading heart 
your footprints impressed a turquoise trail. 
As I walked with dream on its tortuous trace, 
I discerned the remains of my love glimmer 
in the mesmeric embrace of the moon dust, 
showering on me the patina of your beauty. 

From the ebony edge of the tranquil night 
storm clouds surged with the thunders of strife, 
splintered my sky of seamless yearning motif. 
From beneath the dispersed debris of despair 
I gathered the fragments of my broken heart. 

These turned into stars sprouting one by one, 
when you returned to my empty sky of longing. 
Adorned by the moonbeam lattice of your grace
I configured my heart into a crystal constellation, 
weaving an astral garland to embellish your love.

My Profound Admiration For Michelangelo

My profound admiration for Michelangelo goes
beyond the Renaissance genius that he was;
humanness on humble faces out of norm, 
seeking their Creator with a human form!


I envision him on his back painting nudity  
on the high ceiling of the Sistine Chapel as hot sweat
dripped from his forehead...did he anticipate any threat 
in exposing the beauty of the human sexuality?  


Out of Carrara white marble, he carved those life-like sculptures:
David with his muscular was one of his best creation! Amid
war and bloodshed, his spirit shone while his hand chiseled and painted;
wealthy popes and kings hired him to embellish their palaces and churches! 


What driving force  made him accomplish such masterpieces
so timeless and beautiful? Was his faith, passion or events that inspired 
him? I'm astonished by them and lose myself in them as many have for ages...
taking a journey to an era when literature and art flourished!

The Mirage of Heaven

A paradise of perpetual peace. 
No sleaze. .no struggle. .
no murk. .no malice. 
Glaciers in river of honey embellish. 
Verdant meadows in fleecy breeze.
 
Chandeliers,  candles and roses thereupon...
No din. .no haze. .only stars..
aeon after aeon...
Angels adorned in layers of chiffon. 
Sonata in sync with an eclectic lawn.

The kingdom of God. .marriages are made .. blueprint for babies. .
so ardent we prayed. 
Hillocks and forests of sombre shade... 
Chant of incarnation. .some sounds fade. ..

A beacon of light. ..
A stairway to the gate. .
The mirage of heaven? ?
Realities wait. .....

The Real Heaven

A paradise of perpetual peace...
there's no struggle, there's no sleaze,
there's no murky sky to spread malice. 
glaciers and rivers of honey embellish. 
crystal chandeliers, all sparkling upon
effulgent stars shining aeon after aeon
the beacon of light, when we are gone
beyond the clouds, a Shangri-La dawn.

Enchanting heavens, glories of mirage
Are they Hotels where luxuries collage? 

The real heaven is not virtue or sin
not swan songs on a serenade violin 
It's only pure love buried deep within
spinning daily lives inspite of it's din.
caring  for each other with words kind
hatred and violence, don't make us blind
heaven or hell, it's all only in the mind
a mosaic, of light and shade combined.

So how far is the heaven do you think?
The kingdom of God? Is it a hoodwink?

Premium Member A Walk In Solitude

The orange glow of the setting sun
tattoos the horizon and the day is done
hours of burdens and rewards subdued
to allow for a walk in solitude

Sleep fades into random thoughts
attempts at meditation all are nought
reflections embellish gratitude
to allow for a walk in solitude

The radiance of a golden sunrise
lauds another day to idealize
a renewal of tremendous multitude
to allow for a walk in solitude

Individuality of choice dispersion 
inevitably belongs to that person
mercy a need in great magnitude
to allow for a walk in solitude

The Writer's Inspiration

The glossy lamp-posts,
like the tremulous stars and awakening stars,
light up one by one with a click;
and with incredible manifestation
they announce a spectacular sunset
to impatient and eager lovers...
lost in profound contemplation,
feeling the urge of improvisation!
Serenity descends on the white crushing waves...
to conceal the ablaze horizon with indignation;
will this splendor incite the writer's inspiration,
whose simple words, with elaborate insight,
can console the painters' hearts
when they lack inner inspiration?
Already the conspiring fire-flies seem frantic,
they cautiously search the grass by the tall pine-tree:
to plan a night of mystery,
and to adorn the fragrant air with magic!
There are no lush hills or
snow-capped mountains
to ward off the unpredictable ocean,
or the unguarded sky so prone to invasion;
a sky that harbored the cowards' madness!
They came forward, with full force,
to bring down the impressive Twin Towers;
symble of wealth, of power...
of brother-hood and unity!
They came to kill with hideous minds...
to destroy thousands of innocent lives:
but our selfless,fallen heroes
have made us stronger,
and we are still free!
Even when the weather is unkind
and helpless flowers are swept away by a gelid wind,
snow and rain still embellish, with fine decor,
Manhattan's magnificent sky-line;
and Lady Liberty,weeping,
still welcomes to her thriving shore:
the freedom-seeker and the dream-maker...
so immensely grateful and widly smiling!
The spectacular sky-crapers
can hardly breathe
among those limited spaces;
ask the laborious builders
with sun-tanned faces!
They were the ones fighting off sweat and heat'
waiting to behold,with pride
and rewarding hard-ship,
their ingenious work before the applauding
and cheerful elite!
With beauty and gloominess around,
to spark the writer's inspiration,
this unsteady hand jots down
vague words swerving on the straight lines,
to conceive his defination,
which one day will be repudiated with disguise
by literati's own interpretation!

Premium Member A Father Is Immortal- Happy Birthday Dad

Happy birthday Dad



Ever since you left us all in tears,
our hearts ached in grief for years.

Sweet memories of times together,
brush gently as subtle touch of feather !

Longing to touch you and embrace,
while feeling your presence at every place.

Your smiling face in my eyes I embellish,
but wonder why in a blink you vanish?

That in my each cell you are very much alive,
It was too late to realise and end up strife.

Remember the days of joy, None of them so sad,
Today I am wishing you happy birthday dear Dad!

Premium Member How To Succeed In the Army

Let not your heart be troubled by the recruiter's garrulous spiel!
After all, he's paid to embellish army life to offer you a fabulous deal!
When he called you 'private' you assumed there'd be privacy in store.
Never mind that you must share the latrine with fifty guys or more!

Make it a policy to eat all the curious grub the cooks slop on your tray!
Compliment the mess sarge - it might defer you from KP for another day!
Tell your sarge his wife is lovely - though she's as homely as Hooligan's goat!
He is certain to acclaim your acumen and a three-day pass he's apt to float!

Always appear busy - walk around with a clipboard in hand wearing a frown.
The captain might promote you to PFC on the spot so don't you let him down.
If a grumpy sergeant should deign to ask what you're doing, you could retort,
"Sarge, the colonel told me to inventory flypaper use on post and submit a report!"

Never volunteer for anything, though it may be an offer you shouldn't refuse!
Arrange things neatly in your footlocker for display and always shine your shoes!
Sergeants like things regular and complete, so don't give them any sass.
Officers' mega-egos are crushed if you don't salute, so always salute the brass!

Scrub the floor, shave your mug and be ready for Saturday morning inspection.
Best you pass the captain's scrutiny else he won't shower you with affection!
Keep your hair cut, a crease in your pants and you'll get along without a glitch.
They might even see fit to promote you to general on your very first hitch!
