சண்டியர் நாட்டு போர் படை


சண்டியர் நாட்டு போர் படை

என் நெஞ்சில் ஊர்வலம் போகுதே.
அழி கடல்களின் பேரலை
என் மனதை சிலையாய் செதுக்குதே.

கனவில்ல இரவிது,

கனவை வாழ்ந்திடும் பொழுதிது.
கடலில் சூரியனை மூழ்கடித்து,
நிலவை வானிலே புதைத்துவிடு.

இதழை இதழால் முறையடி,

என் கேள்விக்கு கேள்வியால் விடையளி.
உயிரை மட்டும் விட்டுவிடு,
அதை உன் தோகை கொண்டு முத்தமிடு.

உன் விழியில் புறப்படும் தீபந்தம்

எனை உனக்குள்ளே வித்து உருக்குதே.
உன் உரைகள் எழுப்பிடும் பனிப்புயல்
உருகும் என்னை சிறையடைக்குதே.

உன் மனதின் ஆசைகள் கூறிவிடு,

அத்தனையும் நிறைவேற்ற ஆணையிடு.
அறிவின் அறையை மூடிவிட்டு,
இந்த இரவிற்கு மனதின் தோள் சேறு.

Tempestuous

"The sun was wringing like wine,
Gently smudging the blue with red.
Trees were on cloud nine,
As the bairn of breeze calmly sped.

I fancied a walk into the woods,
Onto the other side, to the fleet.
As I took those heavenly steps,
The grass beneath kissed my bare feet.

There she stood, the quiet, lucid lake,
White swans gliding, ignoring to break.
The peacocks springing, blue flowers bloomed,
Too stunned to move, there i stood.

The waters behind had sunken the sun,
But there I still stood, stunned, gazing.
The sun had thrown its golden red,
Which on her cheeks the clouds fed.

In the midst of a deers' herd,
She stood, of whom I'd never herd.
Ebraced by gigantic yellow flowers,
Gleaming with unseen holoes.

Unaware of the awaiting bolt,
I sank deep into her eyes...
Frozen than the waters behind,
Plainer than the streaking skies!

Not the slightest regret,
Rather love towering high.
The one with whom I saw,
A hundred happy years to fly!

I spoke she dwells in me,
Where no sunbeam ever pried;
But that now sprinkled stars,
To tell I'm forever beside.

She told me what she solely wished,
Longed ever since she ever wished;
Her eyes longed for warmth of light,
To learn what it meant by sight..."

The pages fell blank after,
For I could no longer write.
My diary was left to spiders,
Ever since that last twilight.

It was the only thing she'd wished,
It was the only wish she'd asked me;
I promised my self the fold,
And so I kept up my word.

The first she saw of me,
Oh! What a striking truth!
A stone just sank hard,
That turned all a myth.

What a disgust on her face,
For she till then believed;
That spoke of being betrayed,
That I was not as her hide.

The next she told me,
Of what she wished,
Was to have me for last,
In her life that's blessed.

It was the only wish she'd wished,
It was the only wish She'd asked.
Though I knew I can't,
I promised, and so I did.

But before the last minute,
I wished she should know this..
For the last her hand I held,
And stuffed what I scribbled.

It was the ultimate
Of what I could give her.
It was the extreme,
Of whats he could ask me.

She looked down upon the paper,
And raised to see me,
But I could no longer stand it,
And it was the last she saw me.

Her heart beating hard,
She undid the folds;
And in there, they lay,
My untidy heavy colds..

"
You told me your last desire,
That I least expected;

I know for sure,
That none can make it.

I will always stay with you,
Though you wish to see me never;
In each and every thing you see,
For ever, ever and ever!"

Ask My Pillow

This poem is for my special friends, who will always have a warm place in my heart.

Ask my pillow,
She will tell you;
How in my heart,
The wild winds blew.

All those nights I spent,
Hoplessly clutching her;
Draining my weary eyes,
Off every dreary tear.

I call her my friend,
The best of all I had;
Lending me her shoulder,
Listening to all I add.

For I have had none,
To claim as a friend;
Had not a single one,
Who'd tend and mend.

Lend her your ears,
She will tell you;
Of the very few dears,
I had to pass through.

Sweet or sorrow,
Doubt or farrago;
She's always there,
To them all flow.

She taught to endure,
When I was to wilt;
She is the only one,
I've been endowed with.

Ask my pillow,
She will tell you;
That now in her place,
It's none than you!!

An Ode to God

This poem is for my dear Mom n Dad..

Dear Divinity,

I have no words to utter,
Hereby, writing this letter.
As I speak of your praise,
I beg you for a promise:
You risked a second life,
For me to see this world;
You fed me your blood,
For me to grow and mould.
All the pain you faced,
All the stress you bore;
With not he slightest regret,
Enjoyed every bitter sore.
You became a lamp of hope,
When the eclipse shrouded me;
You became a guiding lore,
When I had to cross the sea.
I burnt those dreadful colds,
With the warmth of your smile;
And fought those slaying storms,
With the might of your will.
You showed me love,
You showed me faith;
You taught me courage,
You taught me truth.
You gave me all I needed,
What else can i want?
Yet one more thing I wish,
You’d promise to cherish:
In my next life too,
If there is one;
Once again I wish,
To be born as your son.

- With a heart,
Filled with awe;
Your beloved son,
From the grave.
