LUST FOR LIFE

LUST FOR LIFE
[Dr. Mahendra Bhatnagar]

The man lives on
By the cravings of love!

The lightnings crash near him,
The tornadoes roar and rage around him,
But a faith mysterious
Overbrims his heart,
And sleeps he cosy and comfortable
In the shade benign of dreams and visions splendid!
The man lives on by the cravings of love!

In front of him mountain peaks dizzy,
Around him yawn chasms deep
But fired with faith divine
The man moves on
To get comrades genial
On his way eternal!
The man lives on by the cravings of love!


The death's orchestra plays on,
The mango-groves once jubilant and gay
Are silent and deserted now;
But with faith divine
In the midst of tears and sighs
The man laughs on!
The man lives on by the cravings of love!

The form you are using is a bit constrictive, I guess I favour free form more and tend to shy away from repetition. Still everyone has their own style and I guess you chose to repeat the line 'the man lives on by the cravings of love' as this was very important to you. The lines I like best are:

'The mango-groves once jubilant and gay
Are silent and deserted now;
But with faith divine
In the midst of tears and sighs
The man laughs on!'

The mango-groves' allowed me to form a picture in my mind.

Good stuff. What is the name of the form you are using or does it not really have a name.

cheers,
SC
