Miracle mom & baby

On a sun-kissed morning, the third of Jan
You became a mom, earlier than our plan
Ten little fingers, toes counting same
Tiniest wonder, cute little dame

Through a wall of glass, you heard her cries
Heart in heavy ponder, tears welled our eyes
A whisper born of strength and grace
This tiny wonder filled our heart’s space

With tubes and beeps, you held her near
With every breath, you conquered fear
Your voice though soft and low
Was louder than the world could know

The wait was long, the nights unsure,
But love like yours is strong and pure
You watched her grow, so brave, so bright
A tiny star that fought for light

Now in your arms, she's safe and warm
Beyond the storm, beyond any harm
Life’s greatest treasure and some
A miracle, both Laya girl and mom

Cheerful morning


They'd shower the lands, with perfume
and dusts of glittering colours
If only, in the clouds, they bloom
the jasmines, roses and lilac lavenders

I'd build a ladder to the heaven
to share a scoop with every goon
If only, a ball of icecream, it'd seem
the pearly white lonely moon

I'd write a name that ends with "A"
with stars that blink like startled eyes
If only, t'was my blackboard, i could say
the starry black galactic skies

I'd fill my bucket, full with golden ray
and share a pinch of warmth with every son
If only, I could cycle all the way
to the golden molten splendid sun

Darkness

Darkness here, darkness there
There is darkness everywhere
Up in the heavens, between the stars
Making a crescent and hiding the scars

Flickering lamps and bickering fires
lights up homes in all the shires
Between these houses darkness streams
Stars on earth, from heaven it seems

Sounds of darkness, calming silence
Blinding us with black suspense
gives us sight of a dazzling firefly
and auroral curtains, in midnight sky

Sip of darkness, carefree slumber
Darkness virtues cannot number
In the dungeons of our heart
there too, it can get a little dark

Darkness here, darkness there
There is darkness everywhere

Carcass of shame


And so suddenly it was hacked away
my imagination, hope and love
no sooner than it arrived
in the frailties of my times

The bickering hiccups of bitterness
deep down in the abyss
of my cob-webbed cherishes
dance like shadows of mirages

I hear the shrill and the cry
of martyrdom that be thy lord
in the temple of the heart
and the knell of your will

May truth be the carcass of shame
bequeath your posterity naught
for this will alone will live
beyond this body and the mind it holds

The anger of an angel

A blistering shower of fiery firestorm
Purging fury and angst of old
Stinging words come as a swarm
hurling hurt and scorn afore untold


Poisoned memories make her a puppet
slaving her to ideas that misled
Ego inflates and blows like a trumpet
her cup's too full with assumptions in the head


Tainted mind and tinted glasses
coats new meanings to all I say
days have gone and years too pass us
but seems like hurts of old are there to stay


the day will come for her to be kind
her child-like anger will ebb and die
truth will fill her then-empty mind
and her heart will mourn me with a sigh

Echoes of silence

They deafen me - the echoes of silence
gushing fluids of sadness through the veins
Fragile old thoughts ricocheting off
the walls of barbed memories
I could maybe hear the hissing
the sound of a punctured soul
shriveling and withering against the winds of time
sending silent screams that scar my soul
Yet all of these so silent and so perpetual
They deafen me - the echoes of silence

Hurt

முள் பதிந்த நெஞ்சத்தில்
வேர் ஊன்றி துளையூன்றி
ரோஜா ஒன்று முளைத்ததே
அவள் பிடுங்க
பிளவுற்று உயிர்விட்டு போனதே
