 To Self Quarantine

 Shakespearean Sonnet

 

The whole world is well within my palm's reach,

All the time I so longed for is at hand,

Though I'm retired and unable to teach,

Though I'm free, I choose to be quarantined.

 

I have fellowship now with my Master,

Day in and day out as best as I can,

Time to meditate on my creator,

Ample time with my family to plan.

 

Rejuvenated — spirit and body,

Things are better more than ever for me,

I am in high spirits all through the day,

Not anxious about in my late sixty.

 

Though I miss the outings I used to have,

The stroll on the beach is enough to have.

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...
