Admirable ambience -
The body exterior
Agitating ambivalence -
The mind interior;
Whose virtues and values
Are ambushed by
Pride and prejudice
Hatred and jealousy
Greed and creed
Distress and frustration
Rude, crude and cruel
Which none can extricate
Except one’s wisdom

Flying without wings
Cruising without cruise
Running without legs
Working without hands
Viewing without eyes
Hearing without ears
Yelling without voice
Tasting without tongue
Soul on stroll in stealth
Skipping from asylum
In pursuit of pleasure
Mid-way in slumber
Away from routine
On its delight subtle shuttle
Weaving reams of dreams
That seldom creamed out true
Written off at dawn of the day

Short sight or short of sight
Long sight or lingering sight
Normal or abnormal vision
A question of ophthalmic insight
Bifocal is unequivocal, not univocal

Short sight, the close sight
Of mind over matters upright  
Resilience, the lens of mind
For a microscopic synthesis
Of the soul seeking insight

Long sight, the longing sight
For a macroscopic vision
Of the wise to visualize
At a far site with a foresight
Into the future forthright

Bifocal lens aids vision far and near
Bifocal sense maids fair end future

Love is gain
free from pain
without bargain

Food you take
   is the blood it makes
Flour you mix
   is the bread its bakes
Stone you stud
   is the jewel it glows
Seed you sow
   is the tree it grows
Love you show
   is the life it leads

Of any color or creed,
Of status high or low,
Treacherous minds,
Heartless brain,
Venomous looks,
Ruthless tongue,
Heinous hands,
Rudderless feet,
Intense dubious desire,
Conspire, collude,
Often pay deaf ear
Snub wiser counsel of one’s mind
And skim out criminals
How to spurn viral thoughts;
A major challenge confronting humanity
Of a confounded nation
That needs vaccination.

Bee line in the beach lane
on to a resourceful resort
Of styles, shorts and sorts
in search of freedom
from enforced routine

Bales of barren clouds
Mushroomed the sky line
Set a merry mood in motion
of the touting tots n' lots

The band of souls pitched
hand in hand on sand
Gay was the day at bay
All and sundry fielded the day

Bask and bath
Rock and roll
Fun and frolic
Wind and weather
Hoot and beat
Hip hip hurray
soaked in the sea of ecstasy

Slim shut swim suit
hemming here and there
Bikini blonde bouncing
Spicy curves and colors
pushed up passions
Of the passers by

Sand sipping sea
Sea slipping sand
Land and sea lip to lip
A great fun to run around
