Our blue planet, the epitome of primal beauty,
a unique dot of singularity within the celestial infinity,
revolved in the astral space, spinning nature’s splendors,
until on the evolution trail the hostile species of man arrived.
The creeping swarm of greed, called progress
devours the green blanket, thriving for immeasurable eons,
constructs the toxic greenhouse on the planet instead,
extreme climate events trace the global warming trajectory.
The upholding limits are being infringed ever so rapidly,
so, after long summer the planet might freeze in extended winter,
caused by the catastrophic climate change looming large
to initiate the apocalyptic period of the fifth season.
The gliding glaciers and ice sheets melt at an alarming rate,
rise of sea-level is unparallel in the human history,
makes the ingress of oceans onto the land, shaping as a future reality,
time would come to create again the modern Noah’s ark.
The pristine nature was once in the realm of grandeur,
in harmony with its stable innate equilibrium,
the stride of wanton exploitation marches on and on,
if unheeded, it’ll soon cross the sustainability rubicon.

Well done, the beauty of nature
Is unparallel to paint and brush
It is lively and has a satisfying cruelty
I think artists are next to god
Amazing, such a beautiful creation
Painting is creating nature on canvass
We all can learn to a creative artist
I enjoyed watching the freenees
Of the flamboyant artist's hand
Besides beauty is a work of art.

The dainty day dawns on the sunburst flaming sky
The flotilla of golden wispy cloud glides slowly by
The spectrum of color on the azure sea they pour
Silver-lined swelling waves spill pearls on the shore.
Down the jade valley leaps the sparkling stream
Sculpts the rock ridge and serenades in daydream
Waltzing water ripples on polished pebbles rolling
Listens to the luring music of verdant plains calling.
The seasons revolve in kaleidoscopic sublime spell
Swathed with mesmeric charm of nature unparallel
The ember of autumn falls rustling on the meadow
From the winter frost buds bloom with surreal glow.
The sun in cyan sky shines on emerald forest canopy
Light and shade strips entwine the whispering trees
Night drizzles silently sprinkling stardust on thicket
Fireflies twinkle with the rhythmic chirp of cricket.
My spirit sails allured seeing nature’s spectacular show
In the supernal stream of joy enthralled emotions flow
The essence of the scenic gift of the creator I capture
Find it interlaced with the lattice of tapestry of nature.

Isolated tilapia
Disintegrating Utopia
Unparallel ambiopia, from the deserts of Ethiopia;
Depth of seas oceanography;
Please don't take no photographs of me;
Because I'm drowning and my stupidity;
While all that's left of me;
Is me and it's 10-year-old Twinkie ™;
That I purchased that Hinky Dinky ™;
And just why is the air so, stinky;
Cuz! I can annihilate this world with my pinky;

Oh, Cupid,
Winged son of Venus,
You,
God of immortal love,
Listen to my plea:
I beg you
Your sharpest arrows for me
To prepare
For
Your unparallel archery
On my
Aching for her love heart to practice.
Be
As accurate as never before,
I Implore you,
Oh, divine master of our hearts,
Because
I would certainly die at once,
If
Your target, you happen to
Miss!

Brightest life
To relinquish
Was ready to be
Not to unclaim.
The patches of life
Bright with insight
Of worthy of being
With the same might.
Timid to make
The forcing image
Of worthy of raising
Unparallel praise.
Determined to be
Prosperously lazy
Still in demand
Supplied but crazy.

The day dawns on flaming sunburst sky,
gold-gilded wispy clouds glide slowly by,
spectrum of color on azure sea they pour,
silver lined waves spread pearls on shore.
Down the jade valley leaps the sparkling stream,
sculpturing rock ridge serenading in daydream,
dancing waters murmur on polished pebbles rolling,
listen to the distant music of verdant plains calling.
Seasons revolve in kaleidoscopic sublime spell,
draped in magnetic charm of nature unparallel.
The ember of autumn falls rustling on the meadow,
out of the winter frost buds bloom with surreal glow.
Sun from cyan sky shines on emerald forest canopy,
light and shade strips saunter by whispering tree.
Night falls silent sprinkling stardust on the thicket,
fireflies twinkle with the rhythmic chirp of cricket.
Supine spirit soars high with nature’s ethereal show,
on supernal stream of joy unbridled emotions flow.
The beautiful gift mankind received from the creator
floats on ripples of rapture on the tapestry of nature.

JANUARY
Joyous entrance to begin a year
As if to start new journey without fear.
Noted month carries birthday of my first child.
Unparallel feeling of motherhood so strong never turning mild.
A very special month meant for me to observe.
Reminding first admission to school sensing insecure out of home.
Yet at last phase, first month of year makes me alert of counted days.

Life is the embodiment of the unique existence,
the construct of universal elements nature chose
to manifest distinctively with the divine essence
in the unparallel trinity of body, mind and soul.
Beneath the surface of perceptive mortal senses
the mind builds all the dreams it desires to see.
Haunted by unreal apparitions in fear it invents
suffering the superstitious spell of surreal spirits.
Under the convolute layers of the transient mind
at the tranquil depth resides the enlightened soul,
imperishable, it sends the beacon of eternal truth,
builds subconscious holy linkage with the absolute.
Travelling on the undulating topography of life
an inward journey on the path of spiritualism
takes us to the ultimate destination of nirvana,
we learn the meaning of the trinity of existence.

I welcome you to a place
Where anticipated is not everyone,
Nor is called in.
The earth’s paradise-
Body imperishable, soul eternal,
Leaving niche after carving new.
A place, on earth, unparallel
Feeling matchless and sense inimitable.
To amass
Pleasure in defeat and
In win pang depthless
To long for a place special
In heart and soul
Amongst paramount numbness
For a feeling special
To let me defeat
For a win eternal.

My soul thirsts, O Lord
Where are you hiding?
Why can’t I find you?
I call your name
And silence reverberates
My tears flow like lava
Where are you? Lord?
Strength seems to fail
Even the wind is still
While the deep silence lingers
Yet, my hope lies in your promise…
Never to abandon me
So, I will wait in this silence
‘Til your voice I hear once more
Within this fragrant garden of solitude
At last, it is you! Only you will
Call to me, ‘Peace, be still;
‘For in the silence I’m with you, always…’
Now my soul rejoices in your presence
Overcome by unparallel beauty and peace
I recline at your feet, my Father…
I rest.

7th Place in "Song inspired Poems, Old or New"
Note: Inspired by “Adagio in G Minor”
By The London Promenade Orchestra. Listen to it
And you’ll find it’s one of the most beautiful pieces
Of music, ever…if you’re like me.. you’ll cry. I couldn’t find
Their rendition on YouTube but this is almost as good
Maybe better in some ways…it’s lengthier.
Enjoy : )

THOUGH HAVING NO SIN YOU PAID,
FOR OTHERS YOUR LIFE YOU LAID.
YOU MADE NO COMPLAINT OR PLEA,
GIVING YOUR LIFE TO SET US FREE.
MERCY WAS NOT GIVEN TO YOU,
YET IT IS ABUNDANT IN YOU.
LOVE WAS NOT SHOWN FROM US,
YET THAT IS ALL YOU SHOW US.
BEING KING YOU GAVE YOUR LIFE,
GIVING YOURS TO GIVE ETERNAL LIFE.
BEING TORTURED BY YOUR OWN,
INTO THE LION'S DEN YOU WERE THROWN.
THROUGH BETRAYAL AND TORTURE YOU LOVED,
THEY CUT, SPIT, HIT, MOCKED AND SHOVED.
YOUR LOVE IS UNPARALLEL TO ANY OTHER,
IT SURPASSES THAT OF A LOVING MOTHER.

CHANGING FACES
We with different faces
Came from different places
Experienced in diverse phases
Tendering different cases
Many are the tendencies
If we adhere to our still small voices
Proffering unparallel advises
Charging us to stick relentlessly
Many say it is heresy
Presuming we are at events’ mercy
Mother Nature is not a cheat per se
Perseverance show it we may see
Unploughed vegetation proclaim it
Virgin routes announce it
Less trodden paths advertise it
Less dared woods justify it
To become a face in this place
You need awesome grace to race
To be notable in your race as a face
Showcase your pace for an unselfish case
