TheSun In The Zenith


The sun in the zenith
Blanketed by sailing clouds
Was peeping down.....
On the placid waters below
Wreathing patterns
In multifarious forms and hues
Not lasting but evanescent
That made me to think....

How short life is!!
But we the insignificant
Are very hectic in our sector
Hurrying and worrying
In commotion numberless
Planning and plotting
Not to make life joyous
Worthwhile and meaningful
Instead we make life an intolerable
Inferno full of anxiety neurosis
Not only to us
But to other peaceful
And beautiful creatures as well.

Pause,think and introspect
In silence enjoying the solitude
And the beauty of existence
Will dawn on us unasked
And the revaluation of life
Will be a stupendous revelation.

How beautiful the world is!
How delightful life can be!
If we coexist harmoniously enjoying
And always giving what is due....

We the crown and roof of all
(We think we are,am not sure)
What can't be done by us?
We can make our realm
A sort of utopia at least
Vending peace,quietude and tranquility
To have the reign and sway of
Love,compassion and bliss in our regime,
Bringing down the kingdom of heaven
Which will be our haven
On this fecund Earth for everything to live
A jocund life celebrated in pure hilarity.

To accomplish this,Homo sapiens
(The so called man the wise I think Man the fool)
Have to renounce many of his vices:
Megalomania,dogmatism,lack of pragmatism
Stigmatism,the air of omniscience and omnipotence
The derivatives of sheer ignorance.

Later he parrots mea culpa mea culpa mea maxima culpa,
Will never assist him none.....

Take up the onerous duty of man the wise
Not the folly of man the fool
To rejuvenate and replenish the lost glory
But it is strenuous,tedious and humdrum.

Our goal is to seek and find the realities
And the truths only the truths
Nothing else should satiate him,
Until he discovers the stupefying mysteries
That baffled him for ages and ages,
Not to yield and succumb before unveiling
The challenging puzzles and unanswerable
Questions that loom in the horizon .

Instead of being horrified,be thrilled
And frenzied with ardent desire to solve
Rather than to be in a dilemma.
Face the music.Go ahead with heroic deliberation
And victory will be ours in the end.
The opulence of success will enthrall us
Intoxicate us and fill us with optimism.

It will give us an added impetus
To drive us forward dissipating
The shroud of darkness that engulfed
Mankind in the begone millennium.
We are in the threshold,waiting
For an open sesame,Midas touch
Remember none will be there
Except our determination and urge.

We have gone through much pathos
Sympathies,apathies and often empathize
Giving us much strength to strive ahead
Undaunted not veering like a weathercock
But with a heroic resolution with which
We fought our predators in the Palaeolithic ages
And came out victorious.

The same victory awaits us in the coming ages
If we are not afflicted by superstition and blindness
But we are after prophets and sagas to guides us
To an unknown world of perpetual entity
Promising us all the renounced joys and pleasures,
Love,the supreme feeling of man,and compassion.
As long as we continue like this we will never realize our end.
Alas! The deplorable fate of Man.

Man has to do a lot before he is entombed
He shouldn't leave any stone unturned before
He completes all the work assigned to him
Because he is still in the dawn waiting for the dusk to come.

Approaching Dusk

Dusk was approaching
I sat near the window of the houseboat
In a brooding contemplation
Watching the panoramic beauty

Of the tranquil backwaters.

A solitary loon sighed deeply
Venting her sorrow and melancholy
From the bottom of her love laden heart
The agony and anguish of her despair
Was audible enough to reverberate
In the dead silence like the necropolis .
She might have left her lover in sorrow
Yet she longed to meet him morrow
For her love has gone to the marrow
Which cannot be broken even by an arrow
And she yearned to meet him in a rendezvous.
I also mused in a deep sigh.

Dusk,like a slug slowly moved towards night
It's a very slow change hardly noticeable
Like a bud in the breeze quivering to bloom,
A wave posing before breaking to froth and foam,
The appearance of stars early in the dusk,
The murmur of breeze on the grass and foliage,
The whispers and whimpers of a lovesick heart,
All has it's charm and fascination.

The young night was innocent and blithe
Spreading her luring charm all around
Bathed in the translucent rays of the moon
Waited patiently to mature into a full bosomed lady
From an ebony coloured budding lass.
Soon the haze was wafted by a cool wind
And the gallant debut of the full moon
Was really voluptuous and appealing.
Her dimpled cheeks and rosy lips
Wreathed in a sweet alluring smile.
It was funny to see her beautiful face
In a corrugated reflection in the rippled waters.
