Tender Rain

Dripping rain drops,

Painting window pane;

Flowing down stream;

Cleansing green leaves;

Soaking new dress;

Drenching loving bike;

Dancing dry leaves;

Waving across blue lake;

Undulate my mind,

invoking poem.

How a poet not pen,

aromas of rain,

blend with poetic breeze.

God

Tangles of life, am unaware

Cobwebbed in worldly affairs

I look unto my father,everyday

I am a dust fell off from Him,

I wish to unite with Him again

My affectionate father, Jesus,

You are the truth, I couldnt see

Whatever my eyes see, is fake.

World is your playful dream

Who am i?  i am nobody

Everything is You, Jesus

I ain’t afraid of darkness

I know you are leading me

Your presence felt every second

I only fear of losing my grip on you

Don’t veil your face dear God

I have fallen in love with you

Wish to be with you always

I surrender my life to you

My joys and sorrows

Placing it on your feet

I am burdenless as you are with me

I know world is fake

My life is just a dream

Nothing to be proud of

I bow my head before thee

Humble is the jewel I adore

What’s more than loving You?

I love all your creations

I admire you dear Superior

I want to be your finest devotee

I wish I should be your best child

Your most favorite creation

Humbly writing these lines

Through the hands you gave

On the hearts you created

Going to rain!!!

On a summer afternoon

Butterflies chase

Sun into the clouds

கனவுகள்

சிறுவன் மூச்சு காற்றில்

மலர்ந்த

நீர் குமிழ்கள்,

காற்றில் கரைந்தன -

அவன் கனவுகளை போல்

Guiding Light

Dear Anna,

You shed tears of joy, when I was born

Grateful for the splendid reception you gave me

We started our relationship train with tears

Your childhood naughty stories, a great treasure.

Jealous on you, you spend lot of time with grandpa

I had just nine months to see our loving grandpa

 

Your handsome energetic look is one I admire most

The commanding personality, the naughty look

The first grandson, the senior, fine dressing sense

The kindness you exhibit, anger on injustice

Diamond cuts, our last chat, my last glimpse

Are few that come to my mind, when I think of you

 

Lot more memories, still evergreen, anna

Your soul left flesh box, leaving it vacant,

You still reside in our hearts, our endearing King

Today is your special day, dear it’s your birthday

How to wish for your birthday, Where to meet you

Should I wish, Live long my brother, prosperously

Confused am standing with your memories

Diamond cuts, last chat, last glimpse

Everything remains frozen deep inside

I still can’t accept your departure

When will I meet you again anna?

Will you give me another grand reception?

Seeing you in my dreams says,

You haven’t gone away

Still you are with me, guiding light.

With love

Your naughty sister.(ended as usual)

Note: A tribute to my loving brother on his birthday…

Hope his soul is somewhere fine and happy…

Anna.. Meaning brother in Tamil

கலை

சத்தமின்றி  ரத்தமின்றி

பிரசவிக்கும் குழந்தை

வெவ்வேறு கலைகளாக

நம் முன்னால்

*

உவகையுடன்

கலைஞன்

மறைந்துள்ளான்

கலைகளுக்கு  பின்னால்

*

என்ன அதிசயம்

கலைஞனே கலையாக

மாறிவிட்டானோ ?

கலைஞன் அழிந்தாலும்

கலை அழியுமோ ?

Angels vs Bulls

Fierce bull with mighty horns,

Untamed it runs on the streets

Bombing mad, ignorant crowds

Draws young bulls and trains up

Bull horns tied tight by spider web

Shimmering ruby eyes, fierce

*

Dawn brought me contradictory show

Angels abode mighty bulls

Bulls’ horns tied with olive branches

Soft, confident eyes staring

Still fierce but not a killer now

Angels and tamed bulls a dream

Unending Union

Rose buds drenched in rain

Bow to the gentle breeze passing

Chirping birds fighting for their glimpse

On the wild flowing clear stream

*

My mind fused with nature

Almost in a dreamland

My body forgot its presence

A  sudden splash opened my eyes

*

A couple on the other side

Sitting beside each other

Sad and worried faces

Still holding their hands

*

The handsome boy said her

Break over is over, darling

Why are you still mad?

Turned her face towards him

*

She pinched his pink nose

Lovingly I hate you, my beloved

A rose petal flew across

I too ended up my snooze

Will dreams come true

Dreary eyes, dry smile

Practical exam tomorrow

Tensed was my mind

Nearly turned up all books

And tried reading more

Wondered what new question

I need to face, tomorrow

Tomorrow seemed to be hell

I prayed, more than usual

Sleep seemed so far

*

Somehow I slept unknowingly

In my deep sleep

An unknown voice

Gave me a new question

As well as an answer

Probably a dream

I felt relaxed

*

Morning I woke up fresh

Was it a dream? Wondered

To my utmost shock

In my examination

I faced the same question

Answered the same

Will dreams come true?

Note: A true incident of my life… Still havent got the answer how it happened… till i get an answer it will be a miracle…

Stringent Prayer

Mother,
Drenched in your motherly care
Grateful to your kindness
I rejoice you every day
Every second of my life is yours
Let you be my speech, action and life.
Mother I know you will never hurt me
I am suffering, I can’t bear the pain
Did I commit any blunder ma
Say me what should I do now
I need your love and care.
I have to pass this test of my life
Guide me the way out of this test
Make me sinless, clean my heart
Remove the darkness showing the truth
Don’t put my name in foul mouths
I have been a symbol of burden
I am the reason for others worries
Ma, bless my dawn
I should wake up happy
Or I shouldn’t wake up forever
Take me with you
For am a burden to earth
—–Shalini Samuel
