Harsh Reality

The world is full of liars and fakes

Face to face they project a smiling aura

But they are a scary bunch of snakes

They can inflict sufferings in plethora

They enjoy, sneer like evil from hell

For every deed done so innocently

Making their victims painfully unwell

Forcing them to accept cruelties quietly

Why the bad prosper in their iniquities?

And enjoy life of pride and prejudice

While their victims feel harsh realities

Afraid to face the world of bullies

I pray that God will punish the wicked

And save the people from the crooked!

Senses Dream

Our muse so kind, dear and true often times

Some moments vague and scarcely inspires

Senses dream and mind without reason  rhymes

A dip in poetry, the mind willingly climbs

To unknown and truly dizzying heights

Our muse so kind, dear and true often times


In our deep slumber it naughtily chides

Waking us in unholy hours as mind lazily writes

Senses dream and mind without reason rhymes

It bugs our psyche, we would hate those rides

We embrace hesitantly the unknown realms

Our muse so kind, dear and true often times

It gives us clues, but confuses minds

It's always a struggle to find what pen desires 

Senses dream and mind without reason  rhymes

  

Once inspiration ticks and happily guides

Grab the moment as it comes in surprises 

Our muse so kind, dear and true often times

Senses dream and mind without  reason rhymes

Few notes on the poem: I intended to write a Villanelle poem with an aba rhyme scheme. I faltered in the rhyme scheme so here I am with just one rhyme. This is no longer some Villanelle na ... :( I hope the poem turned out good... :P

Q for Quest

Image Courtesy: HERE

Life is an endless quest..

for the boundless knowledge

like a li'l inquisitive girl 

eager to learn the ABC

eager to master 1, 2 3

Life is an endless quest...

for the eternal truth

why the good and pious suffer

while the wicked and cunning  thrive

unsure of God's mysterious ways

Life is an endless quest...

For the breeze of true freedom

freedom of expression and religion

freedom from pains and oppression

freedom from hate and mindless wars

Life is an endless quest...

For the search of true love

two hearts that beat as one

soul mates made for each other

a  lovely match made in heaven

  Life is an endless quest

 For a closer relationship with God

 for living a life of righteousness

 for finding completeness in Him

 and bask in His eternal glory.

  Yes, endless is the quest

but treasure the knowledge 

the truth, the freedom, the love

we have obtained and received now

as an immediate gesture

of gratefulness to our Almighty God!
