Thavani, half-saree.

In the pond with clear water

Ripples were playing

With the buds yesterday.

Lo, petals opened!

With exquisite beauty,

Bloomed lotus today.

Will they be offered,

To him with love tomorrow?

She will remain in my heart

And I will safely retain her for ever.

With fluttering half sari, thavani

Her mind full of thoughts of her marriage

Fixed in the month of Avani,

Yesterday she was happily playing.

The colorful full sari adorning her

Today she was looking like

Bright divine lamp in Onam rangoli .

Tomorrow she will be explaining

 The reason for her

Extended shy and smile

And for ever she remaining mine!

River side bath in flowing water

While helping her blouse hook

Seen the significant hidden mole

At the prominent place

Haunting my entire soul.

Rest soon at our sweet will

The beauty being mine

In my heart for ever she will shine

A pleasant evening golden sun

Late night cool silvery moon

“ mundu uduthiya

Azhagu pengal koottam

nan padiya pattum

Aval aadiya attam

Mohiniattam, Indralogam,

eni enna vendum Swargam? “-

Wearing mundu

Group of beautiful ladies

My melody her dance

Divine Land !

Is it still required,

The heaven?

*****

HAPPY ONAM

Freedom at Midnight.

Day of Independence

Not came free of cost

Sacrifices paid the prices

Many lives were lost.

Many young war widows

For whom Life was

Behind closed doors and windows.

Children lost their dear fathers

And brought up

Under the care of mothers.

Perennial River of tears

Even strong heart

Will not bear.

Freedom and responsibilities

Should go hand in hand.

What we are doing today

It is shame to recall in our mind.

Corruption to the core

Killings, rapes and loots more

It is mockery of democracy everywhere

Independence Day is not only for

Unfurling the flags with a speech

In any of the buildings and old Forts

What is required is

Vision & mission and plan & action,

With welfare of people in heart.

The motto should be

The last common man’s

Honor and hearty smile

And the nation together with unity,

Integrity and Sovereignty

 Should march happily ahead miles

On the green land

And zoom in the blue skies. 

*****

HAPPY  INDEPENDENCE DAY.

Love All

With devotion in heart
you can see the God in stone any

With love in heart

Flowing water tastes sweet honey

With the beauty of the flower

Carrying exciting fragrance,

As a human born in the world

Overwhelming unrevealed remembrance

Whether the smiling child’s heart

Carry no thoughts?

Beautiful face in front with no error

Still to see it, why to ask for a mirror!

The relationship is not understood for ages,

Even to explain I know no language.

Yes, if we understand all and everything,

Then to explore life, there remains nothing!

But, with Love in heart,

Flowing water tastes sweet honey,
And with devotion in heart,
We can see the God in stone any.

To my fair lady.

Seen your eyes, observed the sky

And tried to study you, It is not yet over……

Yes, it is not yet over

I was roaming and remained sweet

Then why did you meet,

And opened the door of my heart?

 Whether I open my eyes or forget

I see your portrait…….,

Yes, your Live portrait,

That my heart will write.

With love whether I laugh and talk

In separation and longing I lock

It is sweet season……

Yes, very sweet season.

Stack after stack

Wave after wave

You are sending your Love.

Some enjoyment

Some experiment

With love when I embrace

The breeze will caress.

With your glass bangles

And anklets jingling

shall I come to recite the song ?

Shall I give ?

Yes, shall I give and then take?

Like the mild drizzle and early summer,

Shall I plant the kiss ?

And perform the rhythmic dance ?

With the movement of your eye

My life will sway.

Sending the music anew.

This happy moment and ecstatic feeling

Will last our life long.

Again,

Seen your eyes, observed the sky

And tried to study you, It is not yet over……. ,

Yes, it is not yet over !

*****

O, Mistress mine!

O, Mistress mine, where are you roaming,

O, stay and hear; your true love's coming,

That can sing both high and low:

Trip no further, pretty sweeting;

Journeys end in lovers meeting,

Every wise man's son doth know.

What is love? 'Tis not hereafter;

Present mirth hath present laughter;

What's to come is still unsure:

In delay there lies not plenty;

Then, come kiss me, sweet and twenty,

Youth's a stuff will not endure.

TAKE, O take those lips away

That so sweetly were forsworn,

And those eyes, the break of day,

Lights that do mislead the morn:

But my kisses bring again,

Bring again—

Seals of love, but seal’d in vain,

Seal’d in vain!

                                - William Shakespeare

Bright Star

" Bright star, would I were stedfast as thou art-- 

Not in lone splendour hung aloft the night

And watching, with eternal lids apart,

Like nature's patient, sleepless Eremite,

The moving waters at their priestlike task

Of pure ablution round earth's human shores,

Or gazing on the new soft-fallen mask

Of snow upon the mountains and the moors--

No--yet still stedfast, still unchangeable,

Pillow'd upon my fair love's ripening breast,

To feel for ever its soft fall and swell,

Awake for ever in a sweet unrest,

Still, still to hear her tender-taken breath,

And so live ever--or else swoon to death." 

                                                 - John Keats
