Live Stream Anthology - 35 Sonnets



1. Cheer up my Friend (lauranelle 22 lines)


Up! up! cheer up my friend

Yesterday was not the end

you just learn to transcend

you are my beautiful friend


come out of the sad feeling

why are you to them kneeling

They'are your charm stealing

It comes with simple peeling

 

Sad thoughts are like dark spots

Right now remove the nasty dots

For sure you need a great healing

Better feeling, comes with peeling

 

why do you look so glum?

what is the strange scum!

come on! you aren't a nerd

Oh! your heart is a sweet bird

 

Listen to the throstle yonder

Her melody is a great wonder

It isn't really worth to squander

Your life for someone's blunder  20

 

Oh honey bee don't lose the key

Embrace nectar with glee! 22

 

  2. Winter Morning Ride ( sonnet)

 

   I set out to Bheemavaram on a foggy morning

   It was still dark in the wee hours, I haven't seen crows

   The potholes on the bumpy road are a warning 

  Through-out, the rugged landscape a big challenge throws

 

   Sometimes too thick is the fearsome cloud of mist

   A one-eyed truck sights, comes on to my motorcycle

   Like a boulder the mist rolls on the road and hits my chest

   Many a danger in the semi-darkness is likely to kill

 

   The truck vanish't, schools, temples, cheered up mind

   Here and there I saw the wonderful quaint villas   

   All run fast, backwards my childhood remind  

   My heart glows warm with quiet bougainvillas 

 

  The mist slowly melts, the temple bell rings                                                                     The day grows bright as the church choir sings 14



3. Love on train - beginning  ( Sonnet)

 

My world is just plain

Until I met her on the train

I saw her wicked curves

They have burned my nerves

 

Her body looked like sugarcane

Her looks have the feel of cocaine

She boarded the train at Bhopal

I guessed she was going to Nepal

 

The train reached the station at seven

She got in, looked like manna from the heaven

In Jhansi I climbed up the upper berth

And gazed down and found the angel on earth

 

I see her beauty in changing views

My train journey to Delhi continues   14

 


4. Love on Train  - Continues  (Sonnet)


The train at soft pace runs towards north

From the blouse her bulged bosom bursts forth

The train reached Agra I felt I swallowed Viagra

Her sexuality reminds me of Egyptian Cleopatra

 

Just after an hour the train stopped at Mathura,

I saw her black mascara in the flames of aurora

I cannot anything think or my eyes ever blink

For sure into the whirlpool of her beauty I sink

 

Her oblique looks like bullets never misfired

Many a time they have my heart pierced

In her jade eyes there is something weird

I wonder how her feminine energy steered

 

Her personality garnishes her sexuality

But I am afraid it tarnishes my personality.  14


5. Love on train  Ends  ( Sonnet)

 

Green, red colors swirl in the sky like rainbow

The rare spectacle brought us to the window

She spoke soft, tête-à-tête using love lingo

 Her legs are beautiful like that of flamingo

 

The sluggish train, on the bridge stopped again

We saw Yamuna river and forgot all the strain

We threw coins sitting side by side on footboard

We are absorbed in the fun but never got bored

 

Finally we reached Delhi she looked odd and smelly

She ran towards her hubby who stood with a baby

The train journey was a beauty pageant of past

She has forgotten everything and moved fast

 

I remember my wife in wait, she is no banality! 

The train fantasy passed showing our mentality 14


6. December deluge  (Lauranelle 22 lines)

A chance meeting with her in October
I remember, that I was still a floater
But she was sober and gave me her number
Is it true! I checked if I were in stupor 4

October is Hilight, I had the dream to get laid
I had no clue yearned for the future collide
But I’m afraid it’s a charade played by God
Because I trust my destiny is a bit skewed. 8

In November I remember many a damsel
whom I met had cast a huge romantic spell
All their faces formed a phantasmagoria!
like chain passed my mind what a euphoria!! 12

In the beginning it’s all a honey cascade
Passing time exposes the masquerade
Each damsel provoked takes a moral 
Oh! Romance looked like an empty barrel  16

Each dream fizzles out what a pity!!
Real romance is a serendipity
the October damsel is a real beauty
She has more romance tha piety  20

She gave a date in December
The december deluge I remember  22




7.The Bridge ( sonnet)

The bridge is where I always hang
It's where the sweet love bells rang
It is where the wet primroses sang
And I forget the hunger pang

It is where the winds whisper
The azure sky seems crisper
It is where two hearts unwind
It is where the love is enshrined

The bridge is where I always hang
It's where art from my heart sprang
It's where bodies thong, hearts twang
Later in memories they boomerang

Lo! Beyond the bridge lies a world
Where sweet dreams get unfurled  14



8. Tigress  (Sonnet) 

I‘ve seen a real damsel after ages.
Her libido that goes beyond credo
Her love never lives in dreams
She is filled with action and schemes

Love ne'er body restrains mind constrains
Love doesn’t mind losses and gains
Love rebels frets and repels regrets 
Love always love begets

love is poorly realistic without that act
when love is platonic it's purely sadistic
Making love is what keeps it in tact
without that there’s no love in fact

Darling, Mangle me in your arms
Strangle me with your hot charms 14


9. The Director (Heroic sonnet)


The director drives the hapless actors

On a dark path to their secret destination

showing many a temptation causing elation

Ignorance is bliss. It is main factors

 

Many devoted actors go on long march

The path is dark and full of craters

And deep ditches but none has a torch

All actors are not lovers there are haters

 

Despite fears and tears all must walk

If the actors tired or sick they can’t balk

The director cracks the whip of duty

The actor s obey the duty and the beauty

 

When they tumble in craters injure and impair

Tomorrow is medicine He uses to repair

Insult and worry in the journey cause despair

He doesn’t stand and stare because he is the umpire


He pulls the actors with the rope of hope                                              

And leads into the bright future – the oblivion  18


10. Moribund (Heroic sonnet)


She came from the family of bourgeoisie

In the young age she reached her apogee

She hugs her weekends in pubs and clubs

At home her husband scrubs and scrubs

 

The dishes and cooks fishes, waits for kisses

She worships her mirror and mobile kisses

drunk on success she thinks women in big jobs

can return late, off course it gives her man sobs

 

She drank education more like a potion

For a posh life she took it like poison.

She is nestled in western culture

She loves exposure in haute couture

 

Her man demanded that she stop the rapture

That left the marriage in irreparable rupture

Her family thought she needs a consort

But she thought her consort is a spoil sport.

 

She spends time jocund sitting on Tank bund 

The marriage culture has reached moribund


11.Queen of Guns  ( Sonnet)


 She is is full of guts, the queen of guns, 

 with magnetic looks she men's hearts churns

She pulls cock and the game goes great guns

She plays with a gun and it's a simple fun


Her breast is wider she is a hard rider,

She is a soft thriller  a lady killer

that show her splendid round moons.

their charm evokes love monsoons.


He hunger is the real beauty

She has untamable booty

They have soft  liquid motion 

that evoke goddamn passion


She has the sacred hunger

She is an acrid hunter. 14


 12. She is a Revolver 


 Her name is revolver she's a resolver,

 romantic thriller gives a chiller,

she is so chic , she is so quick.  

she plays with daggers 


she likes cocking the hammer ,

She enjoys squeezing the trigger

she never misses the aim 

she is meant for the game


she looks chic  she is quick

 she loves the pique

she has stunning looks, 

and bouncing globes


she plays the game of love

She is as hot as stove. 


13.  Encounter ( sonnet)


She is a romantic tower 

She takes no cover

When she calls your to the bower

She is an insatiable lover


she has ceaseless vigilance

she's hostile with virulence

Her passion has a tinge of pungence

finally she has a bit of belligerence


She is a constant hunter 

ever ready for a new encounter 

She doesn't believe in chastity

She lives in vijayawada city


She is a sweet hunter, hot printer

each meeting is unforgettable encounter


14. Where the mind is full of fear


Where the mind is full of fear 

and the head is held low 

Where the knowledge is unimportant 

and world is stolen by internet  

Where people survive as groups 

in social media where words come out 

from preposterous chat by impostors

where ceaseless prowling stretches its arms

towards abduction where thinking 

is permanently damaged  

Where logic ceases and thinking dies

where education has no meaning

where personality succumbs to hero worship

where caste thrives and  corruption flourishes

where religion rules the senses 

where  tradition serves the purpose of exploitation 

where the mind is led forward by politics 

into ever shrinking thought and faction,

 into the nation of half alive zombies

 my father,  my country has awoken.   


      15 .Love is Sacred ( Sonnet)

When God wants to visit you think sharp

Oh baby! don't bother about make up

when love visits you, don't shy away

don't bother, put the clothes away

 

Don't hate if you are stripped naked

Let God enter and keep you painted

God is not a word to enter the mind

It's an experience for the body to find

 

if you give your mate the date

let your mate be intimate

Don't keep the God at the gate 

Discover Him with your mate

 

Don't you ever my word terminate

You can't keep Him separate 14


16. My Honeymoon


I drive slowly on the night of rain
I keep ogling at her sweet mane
we were passing the orange dusk                                                                                        
She sniffed, felt my smell as musk

The sky melts into purple shades
The car glides through the glades
bizarre breeze and thunder, flashes                                                                                       
Her looks feel like hunter lashes

The rain fills night air with aroma
It goes on without a period or comma                                                                               
She leans her head on my shoulder                                                                                      In her sweet breath I smolder


That makes me frenzy in silvery swoon
No more I can write about my honeymoon 


17. Summer morning


On a scorching summer morning

The people wake up scorning

The sun, who rushes to his duty early

He is surly and people know it clearly

 

The city roads burn under sweltering heat

For the village lads the tanks and ponds are treat

In the cities for the rich the summer is warming

For the poor and working class it's a warning

 

Girls go out in veils to save their beauty

The politicians after polls go to Ooty

The rich people take a bath at the beach

but for the poor it is out of reach

 

In the work place they take a sweat bath

Often cursing the sun's wrath 14

 


18. Howdy


Howdy vivacious lady

don't be moody

villainous men are shady

sometimes the sky is cloudy


And sometimes life is dowdy

the heart you trusted is steady

Love is as deft as homing pigeon

and as strong as religion


Dark people eye on your body

They are into every deal shady

They use a language so bawdy

That is the art of a rowdy


Fill yourself with confidence 

learn the art of self denfence  14



19. National on Gallows


O! India what a terrible fate is hanging over thy neck

The whole nation seems like a ship going to be wreck

Millions of daily cases in cities and towns do sight

How far thy children sick in hospitals can fight? 

 

Many hapless children in hospitals take the last breath

The dauntless doctors fight and embrace the death

O! India where is thy great wisdom where is thy glory? 

Thy sons stand for it or it becomes only a story?

 

O terrible time! Where is the disease comparable

With Corona, why now a greed unbearable

Surfaces making the fate of people so regrettable 

O! Pandemic don’t open thy teeth and show thy wrath  

 

O! dying children look who your foundation swallows  

and bring the whole of the nation to gallows.  14



20. Ode to Her divine beauty - (Sonnet in terza rima)

21. Eternal Words ( sonnet)       

AA BB CC    Coupled rhyme


Can I kiss thee on thy rosy cheeks?

Thou art more lovely and more charming:

 My heart shakes when I see your peaks,

And your amorous looks are more alarming;  4


Your beautiful eyes are perversely magnetic 

you slender waist in saree is provocative;

When I  see your deep navel I get frantic  

Your full figured curves are so seductive     8


But thy inner beauty I should not miss

Nor indulge in fun at the expense of love 

Nor shall I lose the eternal bliss for a kiss,

When I know words can love better show     12


we know immortal joy the words of  love bring

let us speak dainty words until death bells ring    14


22.  Where Love Abounds   Alternate Rhyme  Heroic Sonnet  


Look, who am  I ?  How can I demand 

your love, unless you offer it to me willingly

when you read  my verses then can I command

your love by filling emotions overwhelmingly 4


If thou art had pure pleasure

In reading my purest thought

you felt my heart in full measure

You caught my mind no doubt 8


when your body is tired after day's labour

when your tired mind lost its focus 

you can your heart in my verses harbour

my verses you relax and remove the ruckus 12


They lift your spirits from dark depths

Our friendship grows by leaps and bounds

In endless happiness you visit the heaven's breadths

our  souls unite with passion  where love abounds  16


Where love is nothig physical 

It may look strange and quizzical 18



Butterfly   (Limerick )  Not taken into count 

There once lived a fair lady shy

She never thought she'd love a guy 

Until she touched his hand 

which was a magic wand

She never knew she'd be a butterfly  


Limerick by Edward Lear

There was an Old Man with a flute,

A serpent ran into his boot;

But he played day and night,

 Till the serpent took flight,

And avoided that man with a flute.


23. She's my Zither  (AA BB rhyme) Heroic Sonnet

Spring shows splendid colours 

resembling the smiles of  strollers

so beautiful is the sight of rare flowers

my mistress has more charming powers 4


There I see snow covered mountains

Here she sees  dancing fountains

In winter we walk hand in hand 

She smiles like a musical band 8


The trees are full of cold frost 

They in my darling's eyes defrost 

I see brown leaves and dying grapes

They are surely the autumn's drapes 12


There are no purple flowers around

She's the flower with beauty crowned 

Like a bumble bee I go round and round

her beautiful rosy lips in honey abound  16

The pale autumn we colour together

I bend her like bow and play zither   18


24. Nymphette  ( Heroic Sonnet ) 

O belle petite nymphette

tu es la foudre du ciel

ton charme mon coeur défaite

mon désir n'est pas superficiel  4

Leda by Davinci  creeper cover by poet











au bord du lac tu t'assois sur un rocher

la verdure de la forêt sourit dans le jour

en te voyant mon cheval pas marcher

J'ai arrêté mon cheval pour le séjour  8


Des collines et des arbres a l'entour

d'où tu es venu sur terre bel ange

Voila   siffle la brise de l'amour

ta beauté fait bouillir mon sang  12


Je trouve entre tes cuisses un cygne

si vous êtes gentil avec l'oiseau blessé

entre tes grosses cuisses je signe

J'aimerais être le cygne je suis empressé.  16


pendant le cygne ton corps regir

impatient je me brûle en désir 18 


25.Hurrah to Cutie ( Sonnet) 

Cutie is a small-town girl

She has a pair of plaits that curl

She is born in the month of May

She doesn’t care what people say

 

Her eyes are dark as clouds                   

Her two big globes jump like hounds 

I see flashes of lightning in her  eyes        

They bite my soul until it cries


When I see her little red mouth

I am blown by wind from south

Her mouth feels like sweet little mango

I can’t stop until you do the tango

 

I want Cutie’s hand but I am so worried

I kept my little secret that I am married.   14








Take on me  ( not taken into count)

Two moons for the eyes
Primroses in the cheeks
Red cherries for the lips
Jasmines shower in smiles

I lived in black and white world 
till I saw your beautiful colors

Radiant sun like face
Slender asparagus waist
Massive rotund hips
are like inverted cups

What do you bargain with  eyes?
What seas your dreams cruise?
When you throw attentive look
They surely shower hot cinders 


With sweet smiles you  bartered your heart 
Lucky!  I found the golden key of your heart
Sweet heart, let me play under the apple tree 
Let me go to the depth of your love lake 
Lest my life should be unjust and fake
Take on me and swing until the night shake


26. I lost my Pillow ( sonnet)


I bought a plum pillow. 

But I lost it. what a chance wow!

But I am glad, you know why?

Come on Chiquita  don't be shy 4


On this biting cold wintry night 

the pillow can't with this chill fight

When the night is deep and dire

 your red hot lips serve as fire  8


Day's checkered business affairs 

are tinkered with beautiful love affairs

before marriage I used to drink wine

but now each night is so divine 12


I am not so dumb to bank on pillow plumb

I chucked it as my passion made me numb. 14


27. You and I  ( sonnet)

you and I are two

but it is always not true

we are two by day

but made one by night in gay 4


you have a face and I have too

our faces are different hue

but heart has the same not two

We know that love is the clue 8


you have eyes  and I have too

they see  different things, true

They see each thing twice

Yet we are controlled like toys  12


Time and space to heart doesn't matter

yet we suffer cuz we're made up of matter 14


28. Love bees (Sonnet)


I am  yellow you are green

with sojourns in between

we wander day long in hills

And see and enjoy the thrills  4


We go to water falls I am black you are red

We hold our hands and together we tread

In sand and mud and in the rocky terrain 

No pain when we suddenly see the rain   8

 

We swim in water  you are fish I am foul

When I lift you up I see a soft  scowl

in your face and I lay you on the bank 

I smack on your nocks with all the knack 12


In the noon we walk in the sunflower field 

you are yellow I am yellow all is gold

the bees around you in trembling circles

you ran out to see the rambling squirrels 16


In the night, we rest in our room

we've no colours when we each other  groom 18

29. Linda -  based on Adultério  - lauranell


Linda is slim and sexy

She is rich and seems happy

To a rich man she is married  

Ever since her life stopped 4


Her mate is a transporter

She is a noted reporter

She is not satisfied in marriage

For her marraige is a mirage 8


She meets her politician boyfriend 

On an interview that was to end

They got hooked up with each other

About marriage she no bother 12


Her family wants her attachment

with husband she has no contentment

They suggest old confinement

she wants new excitement 16


She has her fantasy fulfilled

She with her obsession thrilled

God never punished Linda

Sex He knows is the basic funda


People who got the kinda

But Linda know it was not a blunder 22

c'est la vie qui change finalement                

 Il est apparu nu                                             

C'était petit j'ai vu                                          


c'était petit j'étais heureux                            

Il a augmenté, valeureux                                

 J'étais timide ou peureux                                                           

c'est vraiment précieux       12

il est entré en moi doucement       14                   


 32. Happy birds ( Sonnet)


Happy birds don't weave their nests 

They bravely weave their lives 

Happy birds never flee but stand tests

They've the inner strength that drives

 

They belong to a high society

Where mating is a sacred ritual

They mate at will, without anxiety!

Happy birds are really spiritual.

 

They call the mate when they have the mood

they live in a society that has the liberty

They fly so high and mate in clouds without a feud

Far and high they fly because they have ability

 

With great mobility they are no longer shy 

Happy birds can even change their sky 14

33.  Love wets the soul  ( Sonnet)


In the garden of love she and I stroll 

In her dainty curves I droll 

The paths in the garden are labyrinth

We see heartwarming hyacinth

 

whose beauty blooms perennial

Her bosom bounces out her apparel 

Winter weather makes us sensual

The paths in the garden are floral

 

The primroses sway their heads in bower

The golden sunlight offers them a shower

The long tailed multi colored Macaws

The black and white but bold Magpies 

 

How we discover the joys of winter

By geysers great feelings of love enter 


34 . Philosophy  (Sonnet)

 

How long can you melt

When I your depth felt

My love is no spiritual

My ache is for sure, actual

 

I don’t my lust for love flatter

Nor twist my lust but spatter

How long can you melt

When I your depth felt

 

Your body is untouched and tender

I wonder how you surrender

Let the night not sleep

See the fruit of love reap

 

To hell with the philosophy

I want to be the bumble bee  14



35. The Man in the palace


The maid is still sweet in her forty

Her smile is charming and hearty   

The rich lord’s palace is lofty

His eyes seemed lustful and shifty

 

The maid works in the palace she has worries

She has hidden in her cheeks a pair of cherries

Her lotus eyes lovely gait his passions trigger

It’s winter he couldn’t stand the inner rigor

 

He led the buxom maid to the bed  

She lay on bed, with her legs spread

What she feared most has happened

The maid’s character was blackened  12

 

The next morning, she was still in the bed 

He said “I don’t need a maid, you are fired.”

She nodded her head and smiled 

“I am no more your boss.” He said  16

 

She nodded her head and kissed him too. 

Some men are human too they never woman subdue  18

Cherry Blossoms - 10 sonnets

Cherry Blossom is the local wind of Karnataka that is helpful for the coffee plantation. Rains caused by thunderstorms during the hot weather ... Also known as 'Coffee Showers' These rains normally occur from March to April. 










1.The coffee showers

Oh what a lullaby on fast running wheel

What sweet slumber that passengers from world steel 

with your music's breath you give them mirth

Oh what a lovely experience the train on earth!


You gave me many a friend 

before the journey's  end

I can't see light at the tunnel bend

journey's joy always on you depend


NO tension to travel without reservation

we just see our growing population

I'd with many a friendly traveler relation

who live far and wide across the nation


If I lose them don't blame the train in vain

Because I travel  in train again and again


       2. The Comet 


With burning coal and smoke

Running on rails is not a simple joke

The pistons move stroke after stroke

carrying the luggage and the folk


While on the platform he looks like a giant

Across the  fields he is soft like a saint 

The whistling wind knows for sure 

that  he  always  whistles  de jure 


On the bridge he sounds hallow

many travelers his rhythm follow

During day when the track is straight 

He flies like a kite soon goes out of sight


At night he shines like a comet

and commands travels' respect


 3.The Cuckoo    - AA BB


koo kooo -  he passes while singing like a cuckoo

I sat by the window writing a haiku

While he dashes on the bridge over the river

I looked down and saw the river


That was shining like sheet of silver 

the cold breeze makes me shiver

I saw the young couple in the boat

Through my mind passed a musical note


Morning he pulled me through greenery

and showed me unforgettable scenery 

Bridges and houses and towns and shops

the cattle in the fields and lush green crops 


Moving like a museum on wheels

Beautiful sights he served like meals



          4. The Queen's Ride


 She crawls with wheels of steel  like a huge snake 

 on a bouncing track that  feels like a marshmallow cake

the passengers on board glide soft without any ache 

When she gathers speed the earth do shake


She is the queen without crown 

Hundreds wait for her in every town

She never waits more than her time

If anyone frowns she gives a dime


Rich or poor she doesn't care

Men or women at her stare

Hundreds of men guide her way

slight inconvenience they drive away


The cattle grazing near track are frightened

after her ride the track's bolts are tightened


         

     5. Bihu on Train


January is the colorful season of Bihu

people on train don't know who is who

men and women filled the compartment

colorful clothes show their involvement


Young  women versed in Bihu dances

filled the compartment with romantic glances

group of men and women delighting each other

have brought to the train beautiful Bihu weather

 

with romantic looks they delight each other

with looks  they are pleasure each other

watch and be watched is the pleasure

delight be delighted is the measure


Sometimes festivals are celebrated on train

whose fond memories form heart's sweet pain

                

6. Quarrels with Barrels 








when you must to the small town go

you have the passenger but no other go

The passenger is a train with no attractions

But it is a big hub of social interactions


While the train keeps moving at a slow pace

A child  sleeps in mother's embrace 

A vendor walks with basket in corridor

A man stands smoking at the door


 A woman comes with basket of flowers

 A soldier brings in  beautiful laurels

The man preaches so many  morals  

to the woman who brings barrels


off course  barrels bring quarrels

on passenger quarrels are as sweet as sorrels


*sorrels means Gongura in Telugu


      7.  Ivory chain


 

Oh! metro train, Are you an Ivory chain

You look soft like a plane you are as fast as rain 

Your ride is pride so people your norms abide

Everybody is ransacked before the ride

 

You look like Boeing in the air

For your arrival we stand and stare

Look at the floor what a beautiful decor 

All automatic, even the door

 

You make little noise 

and guide us with sweet voice

You are traveler's first choice

All passengers your icy feel rejoice

 

Oh! metro train, your interior is superior

Your exterior isn’t to plane’s fuselage inferior

 

         8. Masulipatam

 

Oh! Masulipatam, why are the dark circles still

showing up under your eyes like dreadful winter chill

The dab of gloom on your visage though the winter has gone

The mist is still hanging on your skies in the summer noon

 

Oh! Masulipatam the decks are cleared that brings the boon

of business I recount your past while the lustre comes soon

I met the travelers who tell the tales of small fish town

that dealt with diamonds I wonder how the time scaled down

 

Your prosperity of the European trade of 17th century

Diamonds and dyes, textiles and spices made you a treasury

Oh! the great demand melted down! what a time’s treachery

Silence rules your shore what a fate’s butchery!

 

Oh! Kind traveler, my glory never waned my glory is my crown

I still hear rich stories from mouth to mouth passed down


9. Vizianagaram Fort

 

In 1711 the king from Jeypore sought independence

and founded Vizianagaram where there wasn’t a fence

The foundation stone was laid to build the fort

in 1713 when there was no machine of any sort

 

With length and breadth 240 meters each

built of solid stone without a breach

The ten-meter-high mesmerizing and majestic fort

All around the walls runs a seamless moat

 

with two terrifying gates on the east and west

the impregnable walls foil any enemy quest

the east gate saddled the mighty drum tower

At a stone’s throw stands the victory tower

 

What a tower! what a power! Oh Vijaya Rama                                                  

Oh! the enormous fort what a mind-blowing panorama.




10. The Battle of Padmanabham

 

With rank and rifle moved colonel Pendargast

Across the hills his horse galloped fast

Towards the battle field of Padmanabham

For the British, there he sounds the drum

 

Colonel Pendargast provided the crucial command

Stood as the east India company’s right hand

As Vijaya Rama II refused the British demand

Of a huge tax that renders his army less manned

 

They ordered the king’s exile offering him pension

The king knows the British laws, and paid due attention

In the battle field with his sword -wielding troops

Who fought ferociously with British groups

 

The sun in the sky was red, the ground was full blood

The colonel’s gun fired a bullet that left the king dead.

Only God! None can the king command

None can the spirit of the king disband

 

The battle of Padmanabham thus ends

The king of Vizianagaram to heaven sends

Harp strings - 10 Sonnets

          1. Harp strings

Harp strings are heart strings

They bring out sharp things

You can hear when the lark sings

only if you reach lark's wings


when Harps strings gently vibrate

In the music flows feelings innate

The outside man looks effervescent 

but the inside man is indifferent


Harps strings touch not anatomy 

They fetch the hidden dichotomy 

Between the diverse personalities 

and the unseen abnormalities


They tell tales of heart

of insider's self beguiling art



 2. No one is  Lonely


Hey! lonely buddy

nobody is alone

trust me, everybody 

has somebody unknown


hidden inside his skin

don't ever think

that he is the twin

He is not as pink


as you might think

unless you honestly search

you can't reach, so just rethink

to have  a real research


Off course it is all mental

But it is the fundamental 



             3. The problems


 Unless you take problems as challenge

  They the beauty of life infringe

   But when the life itself is a problem 

   Don’t swing unsteadily like pendulum



  









  Don’t think of ending life 

   Using pistol or a knife

   Better change the life

   Move like a missile, go to a remote ile


   Or do something different for a while

   After all life is more precious than lifestyle

  Change the activity, believe in simplicity

  All you need is peace and tranquility


  Change is the biggest challenge

  That can all problems expunge


         4.The Average man


He thinks that he’s spiritual

For him the life is but a ritual

He thinks that he loves everybody

But the fact is that he loves nobody

 

except his body, he is so greedy

He is ready to buy Audi

To get famous like Modi

He wears clothes gaudy

 

He publicizes fake generosity

with banners showing verbosity

all over in the center of the city

Alas! It reveals his poor pomposity

 

He wants to be the talk of the town

He is ready to steal someone’s crown


           5.Thy Rapport

Thy rapport is fuel to my writ

Thy response I must frankly admit

Is grease to my verse's wheels

The cheese that goes well with meals


The bed sheet that gives in winter heat

The ice cream that stands as summer’s treat

It’s the color that nature in spring wears 

It is the culture that earth in fall bears


Like equatorial region that has no seasons

Literary harmony has no reasons

Thy response is thy rapport 

Thou art forms a big support 


Thou art the gentle breeze 

Thy touch my verses freeze


                6. The Insider


The outside man is strong and confident 

The inside man is weak and incompetent

The outer man looks  high and broad

The inner man looks  shy and sad


The outsider is  theist and a priest 

The insider is  atheist and  agnost

The outer man is  proud before the crowd

The inside man is  hidden coward 


 The outsider speaks like an optimist

The insider thinks like a pessimist

The outsider seeks heaven in marriage

The insider sees hell and mere bondage


The outsider praises life so high

The insider cries in pain to die


       7. Center of Sorrow


you're the center of your own sorrow 

 blame not the tiny sparrow

Oh look at your life's  heavy pains  

but you need not call the cranes 


just  recall what lies at the root

of your sorrow, it's your thought.

can you your thought thawart

or for ever suffer with the wart


you're the center of your own sorrow 

the fence isn't high your mind is narrow

your confidence is your own defense

with that you can jump off the fence 


when your mind is narrow you had better borrow 

and shoot a different arrow  for brighter tomorrow  14


8.Love is inwardly


Not fair tensions but false intentions 

can  breaches bring in love's attention

and trigger hatred and hypertension

outwardly arguments are better than pretensions


Verbal clashes are like skin rashes

Strong love winds can blow them off like ashes

When fair tensions cause verbal clashes

Don't worry they vanish like sky's flashes


Can verbal clashes love screw?

Can Knotted hearts hatred brew ? 

Can outwardly arguments make love askew ?

when inwardly sentiments the love renew 


Love is totally inwardly 

Arguments are only outwardly



  9.  Unshaken 


when deep desire the love's purity ditches  

when the vile world the pure love bitches 

Can love's course become ambivalent?

Can ardent love become a complaint ?


Love might fall in dark lurch 

But darkness can't love touch

Love is like a lighted torch

In whose light the lover's march


When suspicions love surround

don't hear sound of mind 

with heart's resound be aligned 

For love is the joy profound


To the mind love seems difficult 

but heart's feelings are different 


10. Heart and Mind


Mind can not shake heart

Love is heart's indelible art

Love is life's emotional part

It adds wheels to the life's cart


Ego is like fly in the phlegm 

Ego always the love condemn

Love is mind and heart game

Mind and heart are never the same


Both are not easily separable  

Mind is never invincible 

Heart is hardly convincible

Love is not reversible


When love wins the heart

Heart can win the love

Wild thoughts - 10 sonnets

Wild does not mean cruel or harmful. Wild means not domesticated or not cultivated. Generally people express their harsh feelings smoothly. They replace their harsh words with soft words. They use domesticated or cultivated language. Wild thoughts  represent the actual feelings using to punch on the truth. However  Wild thoughts are marked by decent and enjoyable language. 
 
 

1. Who am I ?


I am neither Petrarch nor Spenser

Believe or not my rhyme is denser

Like Collins I write not American Sonnet

I have my own brain under my bonnet 

 

I have my own country

My poesy needs no tenantry

I admire john Keats

but I wear my own boots

 

Oh! words worth!  my words are worth

My nature to my poems gives birth

I remember none but Homer 

because he helps me stay calmer   


 

I am as good as a seer

I am an Indian sonneteer

 


     2. Kick the Love  ( Sonnet)


When the time's unrelenting scythe  is looking at me to mow

Sitting in shadow of my misunderstood love

How long can I in love's chains remain?

How long can I this pain sustain?


To mend my aching heart's hole

Should  I forget my love's goal 

My heart seeks pleasure

at least in a small measure


My mind needs leisure 

That is my life's treasure

When the evil fate my life's length deplete

Can I my hope's strength replete?


when my love doesn't give me kick

I kick my love that makes me sick   14



    3.Queen Victoria


Your mom called you jasmine

She never knew that could be a sin

Your dad called you little princess

It was a lie, later he did confess


the school sang the same rhyme

but life did n't give you a dime

Your  mirror has showed the truth

but your eyes saw only the myth


when your parents perished

that cult has fast vanished 

why you with queen Victoria compare

when you know the truth, stop there


you don't know perhaps life in Syria 

is not sadder than that of Victoria



      4. Kind seductress     


A cold chill passes across their spine

when men see your beauty shine

A few steps that you everyday walk 

leaves leering men in profound shock


the path you walked becomes beauty's shrine

The men shocked drink your beauty's wine

you pass like a breeze and move like a wave

you appear like a sparkling lightning wave


You are a marble sculpture gilded in gold

very soon men might come into your fold

restaurants, gardens wherever you hang

your beauty's goes with  a loud bang 


 Many a kind seductress provokes the folks

 beauty's use is not to feed hungry men's looks


                       

                5.Burn the Fern

     When the silver screens display vulgar filth

     when the small screens tell tales of hatred

     when crooked people in power run after wealth

     in dark but wear an angle's face in their day-trade


     Who on behalf of the cursed children discern

     who can show concern and fight for their defense 

     Enough of media's pretense and fake social concern 

     when the stray dogs command cinema making chance


     When the nasty celebrities shine at nation's expense

     and leave no chance to endorse in foreign defense

     in the din the entertainment stealing brains is no offence

     My poem's stand for the country's defense


     and inspire men of character to burn the fern 

     Be stern until the devils to the grave return

    

     6.My Birthplace


Vaddadi lies amid lawless hills 

that offers  raw forest thrills

My ancestral home was on the hillock 

A huge palace  gone into ill-luck


A hundred steps below lies the riverbed

on both east and west banks spread

the village with small houses similar

it's a primitive village scene familiar 


Once the river water was fresh 

the village had tree cover lush

once we heard the water's rush

After fifty years it became a drainage flush 


with no trace of grass, at dismal verge

the nature sings distressing dirge



            7.The witch


In the shanty town near the tank

where people usually drank

Beside the cinema there is a  hut

There sits a woman who looks like a slut


She is a rich witch with a terrible face

Strange beads like eyes body full of gold

In several weird ways she treats each case

People think " Is witchcraft a reality?"


They instantly think  of practicality 

A boy victimized by black magic was brought

by a group of people who the remedy sought

She stuck needles to the boy's body, began chanting


 Her gold chain was stolen  needles dropped down  the boy's pain fled 

Outside the hut the thief found dead in a pool of blood


              8.My wish 

I wish I had the qualities of a flower 

sweet fragrance even for an hour

I wish I had acquired the tree's power

 great strength to stand like a tower


I wish I had the qualities of a mountain

vastness to the edge of the doom maintain

why sh'd I ever be a flower, mountain and tree

while I am right now all the three


My poems are flowers 

let readers enjoy their fragrance

My works are as strong as trees

They stand strong with tall peaks


My fame should be like mountain vast

Till the end of the time it should last


9.The most beautiful flowers


Poems are the most beautiful flowers

They bloom on poet's imaginative powers

poets are the gardeners and growers 

But readers are their rightful owners


They steal the colors of vowels and consonants

They touch the hearts of readers across continents

Poems are the flowers that neither wilt nor die

Poems enrich reader's feelings with beautiful dye 


The tender flowers bring splendour to marriage

They also render the bride's royal personage

They decorate the path of the final journey 

And shower fragrance of peace in the ceremony 


They play readers by pulling their heart's cords

 And leave with them everlasting rewards.


                IF ( sonnet)

If you can love the tall fig and the tiny bug

If you love your coffee mug and woolen rug

If you can love the silver keg and crooked leg

If you can love pet dog and forest hog 


If you can forget your job's income

If you can forget your love's outcome

If you can forget thinking and start drinking

and don't care even when your life is stinking


If you can wait for your love to bloom

If you can wait until it removes your gloom

If you can wait until your doom

yet don't blame anybody and go to tomb


Yours is the real love, you loved so much

Even devils don't dare to touch  14

Nevermore - 10 sonnets

Nevermore means that happens only once in life. It may never happen again in life. It is a kind of nostalgia ( regretful remembrance of the past). Nevermore is not a collection of poems. It is the collection of past experiences of the poet and common experience of all humans. 




   1. Summer evening walk

I walk'd with my friend Kishore on seashore

Listening to the sailors' sweet folklore

we stop at wakad stall on the beach

we walk hard and had a cup o' tea each


We watched the tides in the blue sea

 spilled on our clothes the boiling tea

the raging whirlwind howls in our ears

the sand particles stuck on our faces like spears


bits of papers and chocolate wrappers 

swirl  round and round like tiny choppers

the little girls thought it was a ghost

there was a commotion on the coast


A big turtle was washed to the shore

Such a turtle we haven't seen before



     2. O! Dynora!

How popular you were O! Dynora!

How sad it was we said Sayonara!

My father was your sole operator

You were house's chief decorator


You had on face shutters with key

Oh buddy ! how can I forget  thee

young and old , all  in the house

sat before you including the mouse


 Oh! the  new technology flow 

 came on your life as a death blow

you were once house hod name

the fame you won is still the same


from our eyes you are obsolete

but  you're still our heartbeat 


             3. O soul!


O soul!  This is thy last hour

Oh I could not believe

in  the spiritual power

I woke up when you're ready to leave


Only to sleep in the grave

You are the imperishable I

 to see you one must be brave

It's possible only with mind's eye


cuz, it's the immaterial part of humans

I lived with  material mind

and live like Roman among Romans

How can I you in my last hour find


In this last hour it is too late 

It is all written in my fate


         4.Love Stung


 Long ago when I was young

I went on a picnic during spring

A bevy of girls danced and sung

in the cool shade of trees near a spring


one of those,  a beautiful rose

in brilliant hues threw a look

Twisting her waist in a beautiful pose

That stuck my heart like a hook


I searched for her in every nook

Spending all my time like a bee

Wandering by the brook

I couldn’t tell my love, I agree


Oh! My juvenile fear failed me

I am now fifty a love stung bee.


     

           5. The House 

We always saw the house from distance

we never crossed it without assistance

Nobody has ever its door  knocked 

 for it's always with a padlock locked


The iron fence around is rusted 

the windows are broken and dusted

The garden is full of weeds over grown

the purple stemmed flowers often groan


The house was a terror 

the sight of it brought to mind horror 

It looked like an weird child crying

or some secret shadow spying


When I was young it looked paranormal

when I grew out of fears it looked normal



                6.   The Wind

O funnel ghost blowing from west to east

 Sweeping  the earth’s surface at the best 

your strong, jet speed waves create unrest 

oh uninvited guest, who can you arrest?


 Your jet streams often shift the course

  From north to south, what a gusty force

  You flow with across every town and city

   Destroying roofs and windows what a pity


   O funnel ghost you broke the glass window

   Of my house and followed me like a shadow

   When I sat in the garden you rattled the pages                                    

   of my books, tore them off,  turned outrageous


  Oh  hate your violent ways

  I want clam and ordinary days



       7. English poet 


O famed ancient English poet 

Writer of many a paragraph

Those who blew your trumpet

Haven’t read your paragraphs yet

 

Many a poem is a paragraph

Or a story without rhyme

The readers will certainly laugh

But people can’t spare time

 

To read everything you write

They don’t know how much you wrote

When the media declares outright

That you are great, all think it’s right


You might have written rubbish 

Poor Indians adore, cuz you are English


        8. R&B Yards

Forty years ago under leisure's rule

My childhood was celebrated

In  Pader primary school

which by tribal standards calibrated


postcards and telegrams life is primitive 

drama and cinema made it inquisitive

In those days machines were less

relatives and friends were countless


Sun or rain every evening we played

our faces our happiness displayed

we climbed hills brought the wood 

bough on bough  and  piled  good


In R& B Yards amid tar drums and piled wood

we rolled the drums of our childhood.  


         9. The Banyan Tree

 It is an amazing tree of gigantic size 

bigger than a hill that fills your  eyes

beside the playground its a lofty rise

Declared as Goddess by the old and wise


It spreads its branches to end of street

It sheds numerous leaves and ripen fruit 

All passers by certainly stop and greet 

the divine tree thriving with long hanging root


Over the tree I walked to school  everyday 

I picked the banyan bark when I have dismay

believed that the danger will be castaway

She sheltered me under her boughs on a rainy day 


It is the tree that I can not forget 

If I don't visit again I must regret



    10. The small town 

Should  I  visit the remote small town

Off course It symbolizes my childhood

One day I think I must go down

schools and shops sand, stone and wood
