BIRDS BEYOND WORDS

BIRDS BEYOND WORDS

(Ottava Rima Stanzas)

 

I am one with birds to fly in freedom,

I love to sing notes, swinging in my nest,

Enjoying lovely sights from my kingdom,

My empire, my paradise, I feel blest,

Sure to rule not to miss bliss at random,

My choice is to jaunt amid green sheen best,

All feel envy while looking at me smile,

As I am a bird, my life, in bird-style.     

 

I shine in the hues of unfaded glow,

I compete with those of pretty flowers,

To the core, I taste all the fruits mellow,

My senses fain swim in brimming showers,

For onlookers, the most wonderful show,

Who can ascend to reach my joy-towers?

All are busy in their petty circles,

Not in quest of their breaking manacles.

MIRACLES OF MUSINGS

I wonder how you rise,

I see you seem like ripples in a gleam,

I hear you spring like bubbles in a stream,

All spontaneous like sunrise,          

 

I watch how you fly aloft,

You glide in mind like tides for a mark,

You touch the heart like the notes of a lark,

All soothing like the petal soft.

 

You glow in kaleidoscopic views,

You glisten like butterflies in delight,

You glitter like fireflies in darkened light,

All gorgeous like morning dues,

 

You are the treasures of fragrance,

To fascinate me like the scent of flowers

As ripe fruits you have tactile pleasures,

To open taste-buts as the source of freelance.

 

You are the address for sonority,

Like the notes in the throats of cuckoos

My all senses enjoy them full in glues,

All melodious for exquisite gaiety.

 

You are birds for your free flight,

You rise like newborn leaves in bowers,

You flow like the fountain to be rivers,

Miraculous musings into poems might.

TRUTH AND BEAUTY

Poetry is the expression of truth,

To reflect clearly in every word of talk

It’s transparency away from uncouth,

As a sign of wisdom in every walk.

 

Truth is for justice to echo in the court,

In and out, to see the deserving to get,

All due as a right for everyone’s comfort,

As its soul and heart for the sole target.

 

In the sunshine of truth, poetry glitters,

Truth wins over untruth and injustice,

Despite delay in justice, for sure it shatters,

All darkness, leading to light not to miss.

 

Truth is beauty, beauty is gaiety, a fact,

Sculptures look beautiful to be delightful,

Coos sound sonorous in the gladdening act,

All that has charms offer smiles is truthful.

 

The flower excels all with its pretty features:

In kaleidoscopic hues for sumptuous fests,

Fills the heart of a viewer with all raptures,

Inviting butterflies to suck honey as guests.

 

Poetry encompasses concepts in variety,

Its essence is so powerful for captivation,

Poetry is truth, truth beauty, beauty gaiety,

The supreme art with ultimate expression.
