REFLECTANCE
Published April 26, 2013 by VIGIL KUMARMillion eyes gaze on your facade,
You make tranquil in our heart and sense
Transcend minds to ease mortal miseries
Bequeath myriad verse to rhymesters
Bestow maudlin tides to aficionados
Wherever ascending or descending
We glimpse the inimitable veneer
Rhythmic to synchronous revolution
You stoop to no one’s supremacy
No colorful charade in any milieu
You are primed of stone and sludge
But flesh and blood to us –
A very passionate soul of life
- Vigil Kumar
BATED BREATH
Published April 21, 2013 by VIGIL KUMARScorching Sun seldom shattered
By sauntering in the vibes of the billows
Sapphire sky in no way weary of
The blazing sun or breezy moon
Water’s edge never fatigued
By watching the dance of the wave
Brook is sweaty once in a blue moon
By hilarious guzzling of covetous men
Never I dead-beat by your nuance heart
In search of my salvaged soul
Hair’s breadth I ebb and flow in
Gratifying the pipe- dream of your wits
Not the least bit have I ignored
The love of drizzle you sprinkled on me;
In the gloominess of your absence
I glimpse the dazzling stars of you!
- VIGIL KUMAR
CELESTIAL VISTA
Published April 13, 2013 by VIGIL KUMARWelcome…VISHU!
The fiesta of visual sanctity-
Vista of auspicious exuberance
O God, blissful infant of infinity
I propose myself oblate to your feet
I have no yearning for
Chimera of sumptuousness
Drive away dearth and corrupt
Bestow mirth and candid to globe
Let fun and tune of new dawn
Tag on rest of the eon!

KIND TO BE CRUEL
Published March 30, 2013 by VIGIL KUMARVisionaries of blind notion
With endless destination we go
Anonymous men of antonyms
Theocracy in theatrical views
We born to die, live to eat
We must be kind only to be cruel
Inhale to gasp, annoy to adore
Slay to love, stay alive to devour
Greed to bestow, cram to gloom
Wake to sleep, dream to slumber
Walks of life with eternal sprint
We munch money, swig blood
Ignore kindred, censure God
Neglect the path of wisdom
And at last forget to breathe
- VIGIL KUMAR
THIRD EYE
Published March 11, 2013 by VIGIL KUMARCapricious soul of mine searches for solace
Surrenders your feet to cosmic convergence
Celestial pageantry of ceremonial shivrathri
Erases the hours of nightlong darkness in life
Invincible influence of your mystical thoughts
Enlightens me from the invisible path of ignorance
Inferno of the Third eye blazes my innate ego
Trident and Drum bestows brains and hum
My spirit lounges in the margin of Hell and Heaven
Ball is in the patio of yours to choose my kismet
Every day lessens the longevity of my life
But steers me to the atrium of your abode!
-VIGIL KUMAR
SHADOW OF THE SUN
Published March 9, 2013 by VIGIL KUMARPullets of cramped wings
Crave to fly in dilated sky
Pisces of goblet cheer
Peripheral planet unseen
Saline tears soluble in water
Conceal the yearning of life
Absence of the black silhouette
Sphere of fire imbues
Silver haze of ambiance
East to westward it bubbles
Profundity of the deep-sea to
Pinnacle of the blue mountain
Perpetual pilgrimage embarks
Again resurrects in the east
Plagued by pride and fury
Personal ties are sacrificed
My zeal may blaze you
But I dole out verve to all
I am nonetheless
The shadow of the scorching Sun
- VIGIL KUMAR
SLEEPING BEAUTY
Published March 1, 2013 by VIGIL KUMARInhaling the aroma of multi-stem mallees
Scented flora of scintillating Blue Mountains
I saunter along with my colossal silhouette
In the greenish lawns of pulsating Fern hills
Amble over the foggy miasma of icy pastures
Enthralls the Emerald carvings of shrubbery
Sleeping Beauty fading in the cerulean skies
Heaves a sigh, parching in the Lovedale
A Pegasus of dynamic wings I plunge into
Superbly wooded Switzerland of the east
She cuddles me with her breezy hands
Elopes me to virgin woods of Muhurthy hills
Running torrents of Avalanche waters
Powerful Pykara and Parson’s valley
Cliff tops of down town Doddabettah
O! My ruthless beauty, top sketch of Deity
All earthly Heavens embed in Ooty
-VIGIL KUMAR
HYPOCRISY
Published February 19, 2013 by VIGIL KUMAROne brain’s verdict escorts
Mayhem of whole realm
Silicon chips of novel thoughts
Hatch in the highbrow chamber
Lackluster in black-letter flavor
We burrow crater in our own feet
Fragile moralities of flimsy life
Permeate the soul of heartless
Pansy flower of human fascia
Laughs at our mirth and dearth
You’re gratis to chuckle and giggle
Until lumbering life of hypocrisy ends
-VIGIL KUMAR
LINE OF FIRE
Published January 28, 2013 by VIGIL KUMARFume and fragrance in
Fiery minuscule of ember
Flaming life of ignited- stick
Crossing over line of fire
Ceases in smoky ashes;
Lungful air of human gasp is also
A burning journey of torrid zones
In your ups and downs, you odor
The aroma of phantom smell
In the altar of deserting soul
Corporal sleeves combust to
Grime of ashes in sacred urns
-VIGIL KUMAR
WAR IS OVER, IF YOU WANT IT
Published January 22, 2013 by VIGIL KUMARWe, the denizens of the exponential earth
Whimsical manifestation of sixth brains
Wrestle for terra firma, fulsomeness and arms
With cold-shoulder sympathy of evolution
Tranquility is the quintessence of persona
Transmigration of harmonies soul to soul
Transforms emblematic entity to ethereal deity
Temple of God embellish in the sanctum of heart
East or West, Arctic or Antarctic, axis of earth
Evolves ahead the holiness of human morals
Earthly lives of battering days reload by peace
Ethical dove, let dwell in olive twigs for ever
- VIGIL KUMAR
RIBS OF PARASOL
Published January 20, 2013 by VIGIL KUMARThe ribs of parasol haven me in
Dewy dawn, sunlit day, drizzling dusk
Cover my cadaver and carcass
Swaddle frost imbued shell of life
Endure sinister and cheerful ambiance
Until the advent of torment tornado
Shield shrinks, ribs perforate eyes
Defender twirls into demolisher
Typhoon of anger conquers soul
Shatters umbrella of unbound dreams
Covers the cadaver and carcass
Swaddles frost imbued shell of life
- VIGIL KUMAR
SLAY MY CHIMERA
Published January 11, 2013 by VIGIL KUMARYacht of forlorn life cruises on
Shoreless sea of volcanic turbulence
Yearning for the dazzling beacon
To show the shoreline of serenity
Hollow blue of marine amalgamates
The canvas of colossal firmament
Verve and loss theaters hide and seek
Ventures the spirit of gracious soul
O Almighty, throw your trident to slay
My chimera of ill-omened vibes
Orbiting over the physique and psyche
Ease me from invincible orb of illusion
- VIGIL KUMAR
SOLO SOUL
Published December 22, 2012 by VIGIL KUMARO god! Make your abode
In my ethereal epitome
Level me the line of empathy
To attain divine sympathy
Mortal leads to immortal
As humanity animates
Bequeath mercy in my spirit
Burst chunks in my heart
Bestow wits in my brain
Bring sanguine in my blood
And solo soul will dwell by two
You and I in celestial confluence

MISSION OF LIFE
Published December 19, 2012 by VIGIL KUMARSpeedy vehicles of corporal casing
Dash into the ambiance of bizarre goal
Avarice zeal with quest for assets
Venomous heart with cranny brain
Astute eyes with lame credence
Amass in the boulevard of life
Beleaguer one by one, sever laws
Neophytes to nonagenarians vie
To surmount the Grand finale
The mission of life is Death
Why this mortal combat?

Inebriated thoughts of wrath
Innate the cavernous wits
Exhibit the gaucherie of envy
Dearth of legendary prowess
Shut not the doors of sacred justice
Foyers of truth uncover their means
The spirits of celestial retribution
Bulldoze your Mirth and ego
Hubris makes you heap of debris
Even your shadow will desert you

LAMPS OF JOY

Anarchy expels its own way
Absolute monarch’s alter- ego
Crushed myriad realms time ago
Sword of supremacy sores
Gruesome graze in cores
Simple statute attribute
Tiara of timeless tribute
Crackers of Diwali rupture
In glee of Tyrant’s capture
Lines of illumination groan
Festive fall of the crown

HAMARTIA

Drowning in the magnanimity of mislaid dreams
Plunging in ethereal semblance of deep chasms
Imprisoning individual soul of multi- replication

Hamlets of procrastination, Othellos of suspicion
Callous futility with prolific tragic flaws
Clammy celled Hyperions of highest thoughts!

Walked in the vestibule of truth,
Stature and soul sauntered the path
Zilch yearning for the foyer of power

Personification of peace and patience
Viaduct of variance and consent
Candled the radiance of a mighty Nation
Melted to solidify the power of sacrifice

UTOPIAN SKY
Published September 27, 2012 by VIGIL KUMARNo mechanism to measure
The velocity of human mind
A fire-wing rocket of fancy
Propels into the colossal
Parameter of Milky Way
Meander in the scarlet world
Dance in the ring of Saturn
Oar the ferry Moon in
Cerulean sea of Heavens
Glitter in constellation
An explorer of alien terrain
Psyche is a satellite of no orbit
Blasts off in Utopian trajectory
No coaster brake to control
Till the cycle of life blows out

Amid no mislay of sepulcher

WINGLESS FLUTTERING
Published August 25, 2012 by VIGIL KUMARWe are lambs of abattoir
Waiting for a shepherd to
Bestow salvage from slaughter
We gasp in the globe of our own,
Catastrophe augment crescendo
Resonant reminiscences of
Blissful and blessed past nourish
The life of ingenious monotony,
Starlight Wilderness of severity
Beacon unfocused ferryboat
We are confined birds longing for
Fluttering firmament of choice
Perseverance fades to seasons
Capricious orators, avarice curators
Capture the corpus of life
Inbuilt silicon chips of our brain
Patent to others whimsical notion
Diligent efforts of Sixth sense
Betoken the longest lexis,
‘Floccinaucinihilipilification*’

VIM AND VIGOR
Published August 18, 2012 by VIGIL KUMARAnimated thoughts
Beneath brainpower
Captivate the soul of
Daydream life,
Enchant emotions,
Foist follies,
Guarantee blithe of
Holistic hallows,
Immortalize from
Jettison of chaos,
Kindle color to
Livid subsistence;
Melancholic to festive,
Nervous to delightful,
Opaque empathy to
Placate resilience;
Quixotic to
Robust stance,
Squalid lean-to
Tasteful semblance,
Unfit cadence to
Vigorous vibrations,
Wings of blaze waver
Xenon ambiance,
Yachting oceanic skies by
Zealous zest and verve

Color of Corruption
Published August 4, 2012 by VIGIL KUMARHere comes Corruption,
The eighth lethal peccadillo,
Outshines Wrath, Greed, sloth,
Pride, Lust, Envy and Gluttony
Engulfs all akin to Tsunami
*
Red – taped corridors of power
Govern by the despots of
Brown envelope, tinged with
Black magic strategy blacken
Prospects of the prefecture
*
Blind bizarre ethics of
Blackmail nepotism helix
Greengages to gangrene;
Blue skies materialize with
Therapeutic antidote

Dark horses wrestle war
Against blueprint of white lies
In Green vestibule of truth
Animated thoughts cease
Red hot embers of sleaze!

RENTED BLISS
Published July 28, 2012 by VIGIL KUMARWe dwell in a rented world
Nothing to take away
When realm of life ends
Living in an Orb of chaos
Where contraceptives and
Ultrasonic waves decide
The birth of the generation
God–men topple genuine Gods
Oracles manage our hope
Blind and deaf in aloof jiffy,
Camouflage chameleons in
Selfish situation, we endorse
Subtle chauvinism, zealous egos,
Shun our prowess of insight
Cradle to Necropolis, we subsist
Credited Monarchs of Bamboozle
Quest for opulence evict ethics
Ensue standoffish, swindle souls,
And our ultimate aim is nothing,
What we gross, what we miss,
The bonds of the life quash one day.
VIGIL KUMAR
HIDE AND SEEK
Published July 16, 2012 by VIGIL KUMARGolden rays dip bed-ridden Orb
From night-long slumber
Crimson Sun infuses the horizon
Pervades milky white billows
East to West he treks a lot
Dawn to Dusk he toils a lot
Twelve noon burns his body
Delve his beloved darling
Very last she disembarks -
The lovely Moon, in full bloom,
But fervent lover – Our Sun,
Plunges into the ocean of Death
Twilight to first-light she moans
Melts like a cake- snow
Morn comes with the rebirth of Sun
And tragic romance prolongs…

Inhale the fragrance of soul

Boundless gusto
Flutters wingless men to
Illimitable destination
Makes dreamers of
Somber situations

Fearful future
Vanish to vapours;

Wither your petals
Fade your colors

Aroma of human destiny
Life is short; live happily

Romantic Rose,
We inhale the fragrance of
Your solemn soul
Abode in the coppice of
Human life, gladly!

VOYAGE

Evergreen terrain of
Enormous Earth
Cavernous blue sea
Iceberg Antarctica
Flora and fauna
Rivulet and reservoirs
The most venerated
Sixth sense, Farewell!
Yet another world is
Waiting for us,
Neither Heaven nor Hell
But, mighty Mars,
The sibling of Earth,
Fourth globe of Astral
With lively hope
Welcome us alive
Survival in the new world
Is in the offing
Our offspring in
Centuries ahead will
Build castles in
Nano phase red soil
Make green and blue
Discover essence of life
Topless skyscrapers
Under pink nebula
Form the world of Unity
Come, conquer the Mars,
The God of War will battle
Caste, color and corruption
We will bury our earthly
Sins in the Martian grave!

Dreamy Zephyr
Published June 16, 2012 by VIGIL KUMAR
The gentle zephyr prowls into
The balcony window,
Embraces my physique
Just like a bosom friend
With a divine touch
Breezes over the skin
Infuses into the hairy roots
Fills neurons and nephron
Cheers up auricle and ventricle
Arteries and vascular vessels,
Dialyses inborn impurities
Cleans up cerebral aneurysm
Smashes cardiac chunks
Cuisines oxygen to toxic chambers
***
Those are lounger reverie
I’m a victim of historic gaffe
Alive in Anno Domini 2212
Trees are extinct dinosaur -
Remnants of the past greenery
The Earth snubs to change seasons
Torrential rains are a myth for
Cursed generation of drought
Our greedy ancestors fell down
The entire evergreen flora
Cut open the trunk of life
Guzzled blood of vegetation
Ecological disparity drives to
Disaster of the descendants
***
The grasses decline to mount
Thanks to chemical droppings
Top soil loses temperament,
The Sun shines scorching ember
Hiatus between men and Nature
Every moment gasps for fresh air,
Inhabitants throng in Oxygen Parlors
To purify our body and soul;
We are ready to donate blood
Who will give us fresh water?
Oh dreamy zephyr!
Come again, suffuse my cadaver!
Purify the blood of sin
Inherited from the foes of Nature
- VIGIL KUMAR
REFLECTION
Published June 9, 2012 by VIGIL KUMARWith your silver coated
Glassy walls, Oh Mirror,
You cage my facsimile.
I can perceive, touch and feel,
Even groom my appearance
No machine, inbuilt motor,
You are self-motivated,
Jump, act, laugh and cry,
Whatever I do, you do,
Live credential of my actions
Twin layer of element
In your rear surface
Sparkle the front complexion
Make you speedy and perfect
Lucid facial manifestation
We are human, most inhuman
In actions, hard heartened
With flesh and blood;
Bone and Marrow, with ego
Packed in the corporal mirror
When scintillating mirror breaks,
Images split into myriad pieces,
Human image, as well grind
To granules, when lacks
Innate virtues of humane.
- VIGIL KUMAR
Come soon, Monsoon
Published June 6, 2012 by VIGIL KUMAR
Come rain, come
Hover the clouds
Over the barren lands
Come rain, come
Pour your showers to
Succor the thirst of earth
Come rain, come
Furnish green to the
Foliage of the nature
Come rain, come
Endow endurance to the
Creatures of the soil
Come rain, come
Fill up water to the
Basin of the existence
Come rain, come
Dispense water to the
Sizzling ember of summer
Come rain, come
Bestow energy to all the
Lives of the mother earth
Come rain, come
Fill the plateau and plains
Equate upper and lower
Come rain, come
Wash away all the
Impurities of human
Come rain, come
Flush out all the
Deadly sins of ours!

LEXICON OF LIFE
Published May 29, 2012 by VIGIL KUMAR
Garlands may garnish neck
Nonetheless, it is stowage
Crowns may adorn the head,
But thorny to the sovereign
Lineage of survival says
The foot prints of the past
Laurels in the threshold
Peter out one day or another
Novice or No -wise
Experience moulds everyone,
Pedagogic the art to
Learn the lexicon of life.
The last garland falls one day
When world no longer bears
The chemistry of life is so sacred
We make it history
Enabling the inner mind
Evading jealousy, fury, desire
Perform the art of living
Where the realm of soul dwells.
- VIGIL KUMAR
THE MOON
Published May 27, 2012 by VIGIL KUMARThough rough and tough,
This celestial ball
Looks like a marble;
Infiltrates the silver cloud
And so our body and soul,
Engulfs our thoughts…
Passionate in appearance
Prompt in performance
Scientific in approach;
Teaches the philosophy of nature
By waxing and waning:
‘Overcome all ups and downs’
