SELF-SACRIFICE

Society for sure solely stands on the pillars,

Of virtues, certainly meager in numbers

Remain to support though unrewarded,

And be on the alta though unrewarded.

A candle burns itself ever, never for itself,

But shelters darkness, sheltering an elf,

And ignites its other and spreads its charms,

For the face so far in glooms to glow in gleams.

A tree with no aim on its part only to win,

Bears stone-pelting at its fruits by an urchin,

Waits no second presenting man for pleasure,

Offering cool shade for him to relax in leisure.

The boulder invites path-makers and builders,

For the break of its sweetheart only for others

On a mission for erection of bridges over rivers

With a vision for cozy shelters for all dwellers.

A flower, plucked to own for its rich beauty,

Sprinkles fragrance and charms in bounty

And offers honey par excellence before its fall,

Its all is not for itself but it’s only for others all.

LOVE IN FLOW TO GLOW

Gem to shine when there is light,

Or it is something worthless in darkness,

Or it is a pebble at the bottom of river flow,

It is light for sure to show its brightness.

With the sense of its love for delight.

Sunlight turns leaves green in sheen,

Oxygen exhaled offers life to creatures,

Light in glow is love in flow for greenness,

Shattered are the evils of dark features,

Founds for all, the blissful scene.

The lotus in the pond in love smiles,

Opening its infinite petals in full grace

When the moonbeams are in clouds shine

A feast to the onlookers in life race,

The glow of love all the miles.

Tender rays of the sun eager,

To eye the lily bloom in grace for bliss

That scatters lovely charms in full radiance,

That all onlookers never fail to miss.

Love glows in smiles on lips linger.
