Human Being

a being of Highly gifted brain
crafty but Unique imagery of god
a being of Mortal makeup
most astute Animal under heavens 
he has been Named next to angels

his heart Boasts of big things
and his Ego is but a weakness 
even his Instinct to desire is fierce 
but his Naïve emotion grows with time 
as life Grooms it in the arm of experience

My Heart-Throb

heart has 
always been 
a great pump
this I learnt 
when I was 
in school
but the 
truth still 
remains 
unknown.

I have seen 
the hearts 
of cadavers
how thick 
and cold 
their flesh 
were
but the 
truth 
remains - my 
heart-throb.

though little 
truths do 
people know 
about heart
yet more and 
more of my 
heart-throb 
I know
but the 
truth is - 
it's more 
than an idol 
to me.

August

A new moon of praise is here 
Unlimited hopes to start with 
Goodness on its wings 
Universe sets to yield its goodies
Showers of blessing in stock 
Testimonials of breakthrough sandwiched

Unbridled Beauty

more is beauty humiliated
when on a public stage
naked stood.

beauty that's all to eyes of much,
is nothing but costless.

such a gilded tomb
enfolds much gruesome worms.
such is a beauty
without a wintering cover!

a cruel plague:
blinding the eyes with nay cure;
weakening the spirits with just a glance.
An absolute deluge!

a heart given to it
restless and untamed be!

Ignorance

a dangerous makeup
painful in its entirety
with no good compensation:
An Endanger of Life!

a scoffing-belief
extra cost for survival
its value nothing can buy:
A Worthless Risk!

a sinful poison
thereby a fool is known
knowledge alone its antidote:
An Eye-opener born by pain!

ignorance
cost me much
and much cost me more
behold very much I now know.
