DREAMS IN STREAMS

Future, once loadedwith many a dream,

The castles built in the air stream,

It leads one in life in time’s flow,

Like the seeds sown are to grow.

In anxieties and curiosities on hold,

Takes steps to arrive atone’s threshold

As present learns the bitter fact, truly real,

Dreams are imaginary, unreal,

But their experiences are real for visions.

Life is full of illusions

For it finds the dreams to shatter

Still life fills with new dreams to glitter

Like new bubbles rise for those swollen

Like new leaves in place of those fallen

To rise again for life is a flow

With upsurge of dreams in glow,

Dreams to dawn like bubbles to rise,

As a reality to surmise not a surprise

Though it is not welcome in life stream.

Life teaches the lesson of a dream:

Distant hills look green

All fade awaytheir sheen

All to disappear in time of when

In life to accept whatever happen

Life stores all experiences,

The dreams in consequences,

Rarely a sweet cud, often a bitter store

Life to time after all thrall to the core

Consistently and constantly moving

To remind us of it though unwilling

Life is a constant struggle

In time, past-present-futureentangle.

FLOWER’S LIFE WISH

I as a flower with its charms rare

With my life wish to be fair

And fresh on the stem forever.

Fading and falling never,

I love to gladden all by my treasure

All are for their sensuous pleasure,

I feast all by my sweet substance

Their thirsts as a golden chance.

Birds, insects, and all are my guests

In cool shade for their rests,

Birds are to sing in my sight,

Insects to hover round me in delight,

All poets sing in my praise,

Describing all my parts in craze,

I feel pride and honor

For all tend to offer their favor,

My petals excel the Rainbow

For my unrivalled show

I am the cynosure to all eyes in the Eden

All Adams and Eves love my garden.

Nature once glances me with all smiles

For my wish to glow for all miles,

Says that I am too pertinent

To be on the stem permanent

I am after all a thrall to time

For my life transient, sung in a chime:

I am to fade and fall as a flower

Aa a flower of life in my bower.

I fall to bear a child of unripe fruit,

That is all my life’s short route.

WARS CARVE SCARS

Wars resulted in colossal loss,

Sceneoftotal devastation.

All know this bitter reality,

Still wars are waged for destruction,

All species silent for killing gross.

The war culture shatters peace

It does not rise from killing arms,

It dawns from minds for obliteration,

The fading of whole life charms

To unlock the doors of death’s domain.

A nation is great for integration

Overall development and progress

Its strength is shown in stability

It lets no nation fall into transgress

If need be, it helps in cooperation.

The conqueror may feel great

When he conquers a weak nation

He pays deaf ear to yells and knells

Death-silence finds no cessation

For victory is not great at any rate.

War lessons are before the people

Victims and all know the loss well

Scars of wounds are their clear signs

Wars welcome not peace but hell

Against relations to grow in principle.

War is a symbol of death in darkness

Peace is life and light, signs of wisdom,

People love and revere in their hearts,

Annexing a nation to expand kingdom

Shows false ambition, swelling in sickness.
