Sonnets

THE DISCOVERY

 

I climbed the mighty mountains to scale their height,

I swam across the 4 oceans to fathom their depth

I flew across the clouds to measure the purity of water

I landed on sun itself to feel the intensity of heat

I carried my sins to the darkness of hell to go through agony and pain

I gazed into her eyes, I discovered love!!

It was then, when I finally concluded that nothing is deeper, purer,  higher  than love.


***************************************************************************************

THE MAJESTIC FULL MOON

Slowly she rose herself from the western sky like a heavenly young queen

Dressed in her full pure white robe, she possesses all the powers to charm her globe.

Her majestic appearance makes the colorful evening to fade away, just like a jealous lady escapes when out-shined by beauty

She gradually casts her magical spell of beauty and calm with the advancement of the night, 

Passionately she engulfs her world in her arms with her magnetic white light.

The stars are jaded like small diamonds in her crown while the night skies seals the colors of her dark hair

She plays an inaudible symphony of love

She mischievously hides for instance behind her curtain clouds and enlightens again with her prepossessing sight 

The mind goes thoughtless and the soul goes clam when she raises her divine form to brighten the dark night.

 ****************************************************************************

 

THE MONSOON RAIN

The dark clouds veil the lonely skies floating above the mountain tops

They fly above the meadows along the valleys, carrying an ocean of rain drops.

Slowly they showered uniform rain, falling and slanting along the breeze
The trees rejuvenate in the nature bath and the jolly flowers appease.

The leaves scatter, the rain harmoniously fall and the wind starts to sing

Nature plays its own melody in chorus with occasional drumbeat of the lightening.

The peacocks manifest their full beauty and dance with uttermost delight

Singing and raising their crowned heads to the pleasurable sight.

The drizzle fills the moment with the romantic air

Charmed by such natural bliss that none can compare.



*********************************************************************************

 

A W

 IN THE NATURE...

ALK

When the mood was lit with a dull light

and the day had offered a sub-conscious fright.

It inspired me for a lonely walk to find my peace in the nature's essence

Calmly I walked deep into the woods with rustic thoughts and wordless silence.

The trees stood tall waving their leaves

Sending me a gust of harmless cool breeze

The welcoming flowers tossed their heads offering aromatic scent to my nostrils

The light haze floated calmly along the breeze as the sun yawned behind the hills.

Gradually the soothing moon charm empowered the evening golden light

Slowing transforming the spotted mood to a unspeakable sheer delight.

The moon enlightened the pave by her blinking milky white light

She veiled and unveiled herself behind the clouds, like a new bride evinces on the wedding night.

Silently I walked appreciating every vision my mind had caught
I was refreshed with fine retreat the nature had brought.

Rejuvenated! I wished the walk could never end

I had found peace, delight and a friend!



****************************************************************************

 

A Lonely Companion...

   When the sharp arrows of grief

   Pierced the heart hard and deep.
                                                             

   Neither a helping shoulder I found

   None to console the pain so profound.

   I seeked company amidst the nature

   Dulled by thoughts it was my demanding gesture.

   The dark clouds covered the skies of glee

   Pouring the showers of relief, for agony to flee.

   The rain fell freely with its music of delight

   Releasing the bond-less mind to the blissful height.

   Relived I felt with the rain's wet embrace

   Tenderly it showered wiping off lonely tears from my face.

   Calmly I walked below the watery sky

   Drenched in rain with a rejoiced sigh.

   The rain had brought a reviving feel

   Washing the soul from head to heel.

   I sang along matching the rain's symphony

   I had found a new delight in nature’s company!!

***********************************************************************************

CONQUERING LIFE....

He wandered alone in the sea of grief

Revolting the storm like an autumn leaf

A vague thought appeared in the dejected mind

'Is a man so feeble at the hands of fate?'

Creeping through the chapters which life has to narrate

His boat sailed more by the winds of his fate than his oars

His zeal dug the oars deep into the sea chest as he veered to the shores

He had veered his boat through the pages of his life’s chapter

But with every stroke of the oar the sea deeper and deeper

Disregarding the roaring of his fate's tide

He fought along like a warrior with pride

When the circumstances of his life tried to knock him down

He rose on each occasion like a young prince rises to the throne

He was never mastered by his passions nor by desire

He emerged virtues from hardships, like the lustrous gold glitters when kissed by fire

Not a Scholar through his grades

He had learned lessons through life's shades

He offered more of his ears and never a foul mouth

Though often stung by world's sharp arrows of words to make him fragile

Disregarded the hurting superficial words, shielded well with his honest smile.

Wounded by life, yet so brave

He had buried his fears in the grave

He moved along on his tough destined roads

 

He stood tall against all odds!

*****************************************************************************

An Evening in her arms........ 

 

 We sat along together when the sky was filled with evening art

 The light flowing mood and her company drifted away my heart.

 She took my hand as we gazed at the sunset

 I had surrendered to the moment with a romantic mindset.

 Her face glittered reflecting the drowning sun's golden light

 While free falling black hair captured the darkness of the night.

 Her dusky eyes drowned my heart reveling a million words

 The soft notes of her voice matched the creeping of the birds.

 Her rosy lips remained silent offering occasional smile

 She tenderly used speechless words which only her eyes could compile.

 The air went wordless in soothing harmonious silence

 I took her in my arms; it was an act of hour's compliance.

 Mesmerized by the love bond, I gazed at the sky

 Appreciating the gift, a thought appeared to the inward eye

 Is this real, or a dream! I supposed 

 Craving to re-live the moment that romantic hour had composed!!!!

A Childhood Glimpse...........

 

Waking up I peeped outside the morning window

 When sleep had bid farewell from my drowsy eyebrow.

 The rhythmic morning rain indulged me in blissful thought

 What a delighted refreshment the symphony of rain had brought.

 My heart skipped a beat at the sight of the rain

 As it took my mind to the never ending nostalgic lane.

 The soft and tender cords of musical rain

 Began to tickle the memories of my inward brain.

 Drifting me gradually back to the my childhood past

 I began to swim across the sea of fond memories so vast.

 When I innocently played and danced in the rain

 Shouting and yelling with friends like an insane.

 Drenched in mud and rain we would play all day

 Splashing the water and running along the muddy way.

 Staring outside the dripping window, those past images I could see

 The steady morning rain had again evoked an innocent child in me.

 Nostalgically I wiped off rain moisture from the window glass

 Making the innocent heart Wish I could be a child again ALAS!

***************************************************************************

 

A Nostalgic moment led by her……….

 

Led by her indelible memories and in search of solace

    The wistful moment had made me to arrive to the place

    The place we had spent our precious private hours

    The reflection of the past begun to pinch my heart's scars

    The same dense pine woods surrounded the lonely lane

    Recognizing me for sure as they softy whispered her name

    Gradually peeling off the layers of years gone by

    Slowly her images began to invade my subconscious eye

    Drifted by the moment I sat alone thinking back of that time

    When holding my hand she had promised to be forever mine

    Was it my destiny or the fate had played its part

    Alone she had left me tearing my soul apart

    The eyes went moist and the tears started to flow

    Passing years could not erase her image from my wet eyebrow 

    I smoked the length of cigarettes to blow out her name

    But more cold I stood as my heart wept in pain!!!!

A SUMMER EVENING IN THE HILLS................

Struck with pleasure and delight my heart often thrills

When the summers arrives at the majestic beautiful hills 

The birds flock across the clear blue sky

Like a maverick kite dances at the music of wind's sigh

The daffodils leisurely lay along the green meadow beds

Playing with soft breeze twisting and swinging their heads

The horizon colored with twilight explores the imaginative sight

Like a beautiful princess charms her suitors on the wedding night

 The green highlands and lonely lofty cliffs 
 Where solitude seeking mind often drifts  

 The cirrostratus clouds carelessly float above the valley peaks

 Covered with lush green pines and slanting forest teaks

  

 The pure crystal streams intersect the beautiful green valley

 Disregarding the spectacular sight a man can only be a folly

 

 When lost amidst the sorrows and in search of peace and desperation 

 I often turn towards the hills to seek everlasting inspiration!!!!!!

  Love at first Sight.........

I still remember that blessed day

When she first crossed my adolescent way

She appeared like a fairy with god's grace

With her curly black side locks kissing her smooth face

Disregarded me as she had passed by me I first thought

But what a delight the swing of her neck had brought

She gazed at me with her sea deep eyes yet so opaque

My heart took a swim, like a swan locomotes across the lake

We held vision with many unanswered questions to start

It was the moment when I had lost my heart

It was so hard to even utter a single word

A thousand words tossing on mind the speech was yet conserved

Infused with new life I was intoxicated by her aroma

Like a young colt gallops at the sight of an open arena

The juvenile mind then craved for her single glance

The gift for her sight would make my heart to dance

Left with an ache in my heart which only she could cure

I had fallen in love with her I was sure!!

Smile...

Her scarlet beautiful lips blooms like a rose out of her husk

Offering a morning delight like when sun rises at the dusk

The appeal of her doe eyes is complimented by her smile

Like the charms of women’s beauty is enhanced when covered with textile

She out-shined a crowd of thousand by the smile she often wore

Like a full moon overshadows a cluster of million star's allure

The stretch of her lips offers a glimpse of her excellent white teeth

Flashing the light of pure ivory like a ground covered with sleet

Her tender smile makes the drowning heart to emerge out of despair

Like a multi-petal lotus blossoms out from the harshness of muddy water

She takes the imaginative mind to the garden of abundant flowers
Heart flutters like a butterfly such a delight her exuberant smile showers!!!!

Beauty of a village...

Enchanted by the morning slanting rays
Marks the beginning of a harmless days

Enlighten the lusty green fields
What a alluring vision it yields

The frequent morning temple bells
Leaves no doubt where the mighty dwells

The flowing soothing cool air so pure and rich

Purified is the mind and the soul enriched

Feeding on the ripped fruits free and un-bothered
The humming birds flutter around the orchards

The free flowing cool water streams

Captures the imagination of artistic dreams

The routes of naturally paved highways

Takes you to nature's divine doorways

Cultivation being a common man's errand

Spending the day on the fields just like a friend

After the harmless days' hard work

The calmness of scenic evening evokes

Yawning sun spreading the pure golden light

The lush green fields dance in sheer delight

Unbound by the worldly desires with a mind tension free

They spent the luxurious time with a hookah or an evening tea

Arrival of the moon seals the benign day

Tranquilizing the mind and soul by such a peaceful display

Pure flames of the wooden fire prepare the night meal

Baked with cow- dung the hearths, hygienic and simple in their appeal

Whenever an uneasy mind thinks of the peaceful village

Thoughts are flashed with unforgettable images!!!

A WALK IN THE RAIN....

When the flames of anguish burnt the bliss of his soul

He lifted his spirits for a long lonely stroll

The uniform drizzle accompanied his march

Following him like a shadow when his breath went harsh

Lost in his own thoughts he followed the vague path

While the rain kept showering love with her soft tender bath

No eyes wept for him for the hour his fate had brought

Nature is the mother of all, offering him a helping hand he thought

With no destination he was just beckoned by the lonely lane

His feet were driven by nature's guide while his heart was in pain

Admiring the trees which stood firm and tall in the wild

Inspired his innermost thought, he revived like a child

The forest trees stood proud and tall all on their own

With no master to serve them and none they relied upon

He silently heard every inspirational word that the trees had to say

Infused him with a new spark he ebulliently marched his way

He had found courage of a lion which his hardships could not steal

Though lowered by his circumstances, he carried a heart of steel!!!

@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@@

“Finest steel goes through the hottest fire”

When the dark night covered the lonely sky

the heavy heart took a painful sigh.

I sat alone in the dark shadows of grief

with shivering thoughts, like an autumn leaf.

Life had offered shades dark and grey

soul still searched for the eternal ray.

Hopes began to sink in the moist eyes

heart silently mourned with inaudible cries.

Life can be harsh at times I had felt

In the fire of agony my soul had melt.

The darkest night brings the most glorified dawn I thought

Was still undefeated, bravely all my life I had fought.

I kept my steel through my tough days

lifting my sprits I walked along my destined ways !!!

AN ODE TO THE LORD....

Refreshed by my thoughts prepared for an early prey

 The spiritual mind flew across to the heavenly way

 The way to the divine adobe where the mighty lord dwells

 Amidst the gigantic Himalayas, where his pure form impels

 Crowned with the crescent moon on his matted hair locks

 He meditates the wandering mind with the leaves of hemp and hemlocks

 His virile body is bathed in pure scared ash

 while his three eyes spark like lightening flash

 Wearing the tiger’s Skin he conquers power and pride, an omnipotent

 He defeats the deadly poisons by wearing a garland of serpents

 The trident holder is the bravest of the brave

 The demons disappear at the mere sight of lord 'MAHADEV'

 Holding the 'dumru' he creates sacred OM and musical notes

 He is the Neelkanth with striking blue throat

 He destroys the evil with his divine ‘Tandav’ dance

 Destroying the lust with his single third glance

 His handsome stature evokes love of the himalayan king's daughter

 Winning her divine heart he is called 'chandrashaker'

 The matted hair sources the flow of the divine canal

 Unbound by the infinite time, the lord 'Maha-kaal'

 He is appeased by pure souls on the divine path

 Blessing is devotees with boons he is 'Bholenath'

 With every scared breath I offer lord  my 'namaskar'

 Receiving the divine blessing of lord 'OMKAR'
