Nyctolines

There goes nothing futile,

nothing like so trivial;

Their grows nothing tootle,

bluffing like so finial.


Setting changes quickly,

when your

people unfolds swiftly,

with a flick of an eye, there booms out...

and the candle douse out empty!


There,

darkness catch red-handed.

in a world so dry and bleached.

starts the play of oneness

with a single tone around...


Up then flames are born to cleanse.

#Stanza 1 - There is nothing significant or insignificant. There is no luxury but only a deceiving decoration of darkness.
#2 Stanza 2 - The surroundings, people changes/ transforms with an eye flick and when the candle of love is extinguished
#3 Stanza 3 - Darkness/Ignorance catches you red-handed in a colorless pale world was only one color remains: Black (of darkness)
#4 Last line - Someone like a flame evolves with time to cleanse the darkness from the world and make peace, bring love.
In brief: It's easy to choose darkness with each bad decision we take. Time would light the wings of fire later.

Mystic cage

Do Cages Always Bring Misfortune? Once upon a time in a remote local town there lived a man with gross freedom. He lived like a lion in a jungle motley crowd; rising from a golden bed foot resting on a gilded floor, headed from a scented sauna, living for a paltry dream. Hoi polloi claims of poverty, and a man like a sloth in indolence- bearing besom in apron, moving for his daily bread. Dream for skies kept him thirst; crave for rest, lead him inert; Greed for opulence locked him caged; Clouds of darkness got him wealth. Cage so formed in avarice, Compound as an enigma, fasten him in ignorance alas crawls him unnoticed. * 1  motley - colourful/ in the context, a crowd has many kinds of people   * 2  gilded - gold plated   * 3  scented - water with the sweet fragrance *4  sauna- shower/bath   *5  paltry - small/minor   *6  hoi polloi - common people/mob/ people nearby *7  indolence- laziness   *8  ...

Ceaseless

Pedaling bicycle, Sewing her fabric, Building her grain of rice, There lived a floret. Smiling at hardships, Keeping her chattel, Riding she delivers her goods, Like a daughter. Prompting with good hope, Reminding 'keep smiling', She lived like a chorus, from someone's hard game. *1   chattel - belongings   *2  chorus - repeated work.    "She lived like a chorus, from someone's hard game." means:   someone here refers to the ultimate god or creator. Not to be confused with gender dominance and subjugation.  Theme :  Someone in their chorus. Significance of Title:   The author is not aware of the existence of this person in the picture but aware of her chores.    In brief : There lived a daughter doing her chorus and reflecting other's happiness.                                                 ...
