Short Contended Poems

For so long have I contended
And taken you for a mountain 
Only to find you a downhill..

 I intend to keep myself happy
I inspire myself to be contended
I defeat  my fear by surrender
I need to love to be alive  ...

I have always appreciated everything that you did,
Because for me you were 'everything'!
They say,' Time and tide wait for none'
Though difficult I accepted it too.
Now that I have reached far ahead,
'Settled, happy and contended'
Why is that I still find you,
Where we were separated!...

I am a proud man
Not because of my wealth
But for my poverty which provides me
Lots of ideas and thoughts
And helps me to delve into my life
To fetch out some rich philosophies
And break into a way to lead  contended  life, 
Without those banal luxury
Moreover I am trilled to think
That in life love and peace
Never dependent on materials
If they are in abundance or in scarcity....

Swirling, spiraling universe
Stardust in galaxy submerse
   

Coat me in refined stardust
Brightest star afar entrust

Contended with His Divine Love
In Seventh Heaven above  

Swirling, spiraling universe
Stardust in galaxy submerse

Such wonderful peace is summer twilight

as sun starts to set, birds making

their final curtain call of the day.

Sweet, oh sweet summer air, how

you make me feel so contended.

As shadows begin to cover

tree tops,

a little breeze saying good day to

the branches, where the birds are

now returning to rest their

weary wings.

Summer twilight such a delight you

give me, so relaxed him I, knowing

this has been a great day.

If they can't fight like cats and canis!
They can't be sister and brother.
If they can't ignite fierce emotions!
They just can't be bother and sister.
If they can merrily stand together!!
They can't be brother sister!
If the feud doesn't end up with a contended smile,
They can't be sister and bother.

Always by each other's side, ready even to die.
Emotions for ever entwined.
Create every memory worth rewind.
The bond is a beautiful tie....

Melodious majestic music filled the celestial air
as their ethereal fingers strummed their harp strings
with tiny luminous drops of rain in the atmosphere
falling gently on their white velvet feathery wings

The steady rhythm of the rain drops only made them smile
as their chorus of harp notes and the rain drops mesmerized
their enchanting musical finale rising up to the heavens above
leaving all the heavenly host with contended angel sighs.

Indeed, we have given up.
Freemen, once...now happy slaves?
No longer able to drink from a Church cup.
We are the most willing knaves.
Tragically, to those who unlawfully 
locked us up.

Stockholm Syndrome has us by the throat.
We are grateful to our masters for our lifelong 
sentence?
Never realizing we must be the butt of jokes.
Contended as our end draws near.
Taken prisoner by a phenomenal,
life-demeaning hoax.
