Life’s Melodrama

-

          Life’s Melodrama       

 

From the dusty loam man is born,

A spark incurred and away blown,

How come over the course it may,

The flame bustles in a lamp of clay.

 

With the gilded passions steeped,

Lively and so vibrant ere it leaped,

Into earthy colours and fragrance,

Gifted with motive and brilliance!

 

Dust back to earth, then life came,

With the décor of its sundry name,

Well, journey thru its thorny maze,

Hassled with ambitions and craze!

 

Intuitive mind, blest with senses five,

A few causeways ah thru slime drive,

Angels smiled, from the Destiny afar,

The stranded soul, left to gazing star!

 

The joys were flitting and hurts buried,

Flamboyant, the life had never replied,

The fools’ stage, their laughs and cries,

Melodrama of life, played ‘neath skies

 

 

 

Mystery knit in secrets, how to unravel?

On crossroads of liability, how to travel?

Panic-stricken, ah breathless to the core,

Some may eye the Beauty, just to adore!

 

 

Were life the riddle, or a pulsating sore?

Shrieks and hilarity, daub the awful lore,

Seized with death pale, ‘twill wane away,

A stage wrapped up, with loads to weigh.

 

 

The colour and charms, must fade away; 

Ah life unravels; events lined to an array,

Scary beats, teary eyes, and the decree?

A vast, seamless stage, no one can flee.

My Endeavors Leap to a Surge

-
               My endeavors leap to a surge   My soul’s with Divinity blest, well-knit and strong, From cavern I’ll soar and pipe my melodious song, Tearing thru the numbness of stillness to the flare, I’ll balm the grieving heart and many a Satin dare!   Earned comforts bestrew my path, nay by chance, Silver to flashing gold, scintilla glow up and dance, And will illumine the benighted path, lying before, I’ve picked up the lost ends, pearls to dot my shore.   I shalt shape my fate and fashion it with pious will, My hopes abound, my endeavors surge with thrill, I’ve accursed the curse and nevertheless fate too, With the throb of emboldened heart, I’ll walk true.   Amid the throng, I shall be towering beyond hoax, My soul stands naked with truth, envy for the folk, I’ve ditched caverns, sky remains my frontier to fly, My odyssey, my sojourn, applaud me whereto I eye.   My dear son, ...

The Lambent Blaze

                  The Lambent Blaze The lambent blaze, oft' in your eyes, Hints a blatant answer to some whys, Done, what all seemed a task so afar, Keep up and someday you'll be a star.   On horizons where you perceived dark, With brilliant flare you'll chant like a lark, A road lies afore you, strewed with glee, The shackles are broken, ye are set free.   Like an eagle, discard pigmies and soar high, Depression's their abode, to fester and sigh, You're a darling of your home and its charm, Raised and spruced in love lo none to harm.   Bring forth the goodness in bosom hidden, Steal the show, amaze all, Lord hast bidden, In pastures and gardens swirl like fragrance, With scent of a rose, numb a sane to trance.   For us all you are a blessed soul and infinite gift, The unwavering anchor for those who are adrift, Your worries will pass away in the blink of an eye, Phases of melancholy and sadness ha...

My Dear Parents

-
Where shall I see your generous faces? Of unique love where wi ll I find traces? Here’s a void expanding every moment, N one  look up to, and I’m left to lament.   Your sweet voices often ring in my ears, To  solitude I’m confined for many years, The mellowness of yore hast turned gall, My tale of   infirmity runs gloomy and tall.   Parental fort has crumbled, in ruins I walk, Silence is my mate, ah there’s none to talk, In the wilds of my heart stripped of bloom, I fret  and fume, so no bl iss shall  find room.   A ttire s, articles  and  clothes are but lifeless, Arrayed but sans a  wearer , a h my distress! What a dismal abyss? I’m to wallow again, Cut and bruis ed deep,  surely I  never feign !   Pensively sauntering streets I feel ye beside, I glance aside, ah I’m alone on barbs astride, May that highest of heavens be your abode, Of glorified vales, therein gems have flowed.   Bye my parents!  You left ...
