My Sonnet "Flowers Bloom" is in this Anthology published at Amazon.

Flowers Blossom
  A Sonnet by Varghese Kuncheria 

Flowers blooming in and out of season,
For whom it blooms is still a mystery,
Mother nature for sure they do adorn,
A balm soothing to any naked eye.

A pervert to spoil its lure every day,
Plucking it for very many purposes,
To please a god in rituals today,
To stamp down soon after in animus.

To array a nuptial arch to supple,
Yet again to be thrown a while later,
And to garland many a young couple,
The rich and poor without spite or favour.

Then it falls on the neck of a stiff-necked,
The proud and boastful with a cry aloud.

ISBN-13: 979-8606059461 ASIN: B0849YJD4 Save Ourselves to Save the World By Joji Varghese Kuncheria Are we heading for the inevitable Doomsday? Can any good come out of a decayed society? The innocent blood shed on Earth calls all out, For revenge as if there's life in the shed blood. The root of all human evil is mere selfishness, Which is rampant everywhere on planet Earth, Gone are the times when people were selfless, These are the days that we have become selfies. The world knows and speaks only one language, The language of money and how to make more. Like a snake charmer it controls the meek world, Many are out to make money by hook or crook. A lot of hue and cry is now about climate change, The problem to address is lack of basic values, To learn to be good citizens with human values, Of empathy, love, compassion and brotherhood. Parents do not raise the children with such values, Basic inherent values of tru...

  My First Love   By Joji Varghese Kuncheria  Who drives me towards my destiny? Who makes my life worth a living one? Neither riches or desires unending, Nor is it power or worldly pleasures, It's You, my Love, only my first love, Who leads me on and on to the goal. My first love will never ever change, To you I owe my life, my whole being, I'm lost and shattered now without you, My life sways shaky like a pendulum, Swinging back and forth under gravity, The spirit that surged me on is gone. Back to you is not an easy coming, Filthy as I am, forlorn and forsaken, I long to be in your omniscient fold, To be immersed in your eternal love, Lead me to the fountain of my life Of unending pleasures worth living. You are only a call away to my beckon, With wide open arms ready to embrace, How I long to be secure in your arms! To be imbued in your love and be safe, I cry out to you, the elixir of my Love, Lead...
