The Wide Devastation

Long after the lively spring came quite early...
every narrow hill's path laid in solemn tranquility,
faint footprints on solid ground under black booths
smeared with stains by damaged, leaking roofs.

It took longer to reach the hilltop being forced to halt
before a fallen tree toppled down by the hurricane Milton:
can Nature be as violent as man's mad temperament?
A barren land without trees cries out in utter desperation! 

Going further up, slouching on blunders over huge vallies below,
climbing takes a big effort to get to a planned destination too slow; 
strong legs are needed to climb sharp peaks, looking forward and advance:
a little mishap can cost your life: return to safer ground without incidence!

One can see clearer the wide devastation from the highest peak,
watch that pelican in distress aimlessly searching for her hatchling
ravaged by the force of that howling wind over the dogwood creek;
don't hesitate to come down quickly and help out the hopeless living!

Hamish the Horse

Swish tailed Hamish, gloss black Stallion
Proud prize show hero bore blue medallion
Champion head turner tenacious steed

Lonely hoof stomper longed for a companion
Incidence of coinciding reserved to imagine
Narrow minded owners oblivious to his need

High knee haughty mare trotted by his enclosure
Temptation's waft overcame limited exposure
Hamish neighed a friend request,  - she agreed

Lake rippled muscle, alpha outraged neck tossed
Winner's whinny recognised chance may be lost
Breaking barriers now became a necessary deed

Chest of windswept lake assisted stable escape
Charging through victoriously, gate swung agape
Asked lady to dance, she daringly took the lead

Dust distubed finesse surpassed usual manuevres
Hamish whispered happily, " Forever, the two of us." 
Most cherished equine paradise known while freed

The New Concept of Romance

One can fall in love madly
if he accepts it and believes it;
someone else might choose to be free
and regret his decision when he'll be lonely:
what will you pick and stick to it?
It might be unwise to disagree!
 
If he chooses to love, it's much better for him,
but if he chooses freedom,
he can't escape boredom;
loneliness can put on hold his precious dream!

The new concept of romance
confuses people and enrages them;
the new concept of romance
without  any strict rules to follow:
brings darkness in their tomorrow...
living a worthless life without esteem!

Today lovers are so selfish
and they're unwilling to make the sacrifice;
today lovers have only one wish:
to hurt others refusing don't pay the price!

The concept of romance
has changed meaning, it's only an incidence;
the concept of romance
is stripped of the passion that was so intense!

Brave your own battle, O Draupadi - 3

Take to arms, who will come ye to save?
What hope from face-less faces ye have?
Never plead, nor for them ever rave,
From shameless what succour can ye crave?
Take to arms, none will come ye to save.

Translation |06.09.2024| women, world
Poet’s note: This is third in the three-piece series on the theme. The incidence is taken from Mahabharata during Draupadi’s vastra-haran, disrobing. All the elderly so-called keepers of dharma keep quiet in the name of righteous action under the circumstances.  The original in Gujarati as transliterated (in PS-acceptable way) is as under:

Suno Daraupadi, shastra uthaalo, ab naa Givind aayenge,
Kab tak aas lagaaohi tum bike hue akhabaaro se,
Kaisee rakshaa maang rahi ho Duhshaasaan darbaaro se?
Svayam jo lajjaa heen pade hai vo kyaa laaj bachaayenge!
Suno Daraupadi, shastra uthaalo, ab naa Givind aayenge.

Long Drive

Ignorance and silence,
Preaches and deceits,
Libels and slanders.
Yeah, it gets on my nerves!

Friends are such a turncoats,
They betray, they deceive, 
Pretending to be sweet.
Causing emotional wrecks.
The traitors are such a scrape!

Hey! Ask me, why I am sharing this!
Just coz, wanna save you from such a crisis!

Sit in your car and go for a long drive.
Trust me its a therapy of its own kind!
Cool breeze tickling vibrant flowers,
Chirping birds playing in Cumulus clouds,
Strolling couples and brats chilling out,
Laughter and smile spread all around.
A sudden brake, brings you back to your present life.
Tell me, tell me, ‘‘what did you notice thru the drive.’’?

Happiness, energy and pure positive vibes!
Awww! You couldn't notice the negativity,
 though it too must be peeping inside!

Here's my friend an important lesson to bring back pride.
“Life too is a long drive, 
we can’t get into everything that comes into our sight.”
“step out of your boots, and be a fly on the wall,
You will understand inside out in just a glance.”

“Keep driving through the maze of life, 
Observe positivity and strength standing by your side.”
“Not every body strives to thrive, they don’t deserve your time.” 
Yes, it hurts every time but every incidence is a lesson of your life, 
to make you stronger and wise!

“Keep driving through, soaking in the lessons of your life."
"For you my darling, will always rise.”
