Let Me Be Prepared to Leave This World….
My days have gone through thistles and thorns,
With a few roses alongside to pass the way,
And nothing hath been of my will,
But everything is of the Creator’s Will.
Countless tragedies happened around me;
Unthinkable episodes travelled across me;
Baseless arguments practiced between me and others;
Rootless qualms transacted ‘twixt me and others;
Voiceless disputes heated in discussions;
Roofless justification laid over helpless deeds;
Unforgiving apologies flashed ‘cross my fellow-beings;
At times welcoming Judas’ Kiss for want of love;...

If I sleep....what will happen?
I lay down on my couch:
An air of silence hath begun flowing,
Lullaby for an infant sails along,
Thundering engines break the passage,
People walk on their chosen paths,
Sicknesses invade the life of mankind,
Wealth is amassed by greedy hands,
Broken bowls are carried by deprived hands,
Reel shows fascinate real eyes,
Music and noise hit the depressed hearts,
Schools are open for teaching and learning,
New discoveries and inventions brought to the world,
Arms and ammunitions eat people’s pie,
The rich grow richer; the poor...

The Hunter Of Heaven
Ruby and gold teach me rainbow pleasures,
Sapphire and Emerald glittering catch my Keatsian eyes,
And the rainbow colours are my treasures,
Diamonds on the summit of the world hold my Grecian heart:
“How bright and brilliant is the rainbow!
Is it for me? Let me dissolve in it.”
The arrow of the bow aims at my trough,
I ought to be the Hunter’s possession.
The nightingale strokes me with lullaby,
The note of the cuckoo fills my sweet soul,
The woodpecker’s sound gives me a great sigh:
“Let my soul be fondled by the flaps of their wings, ...

I ought to be the Hunter’s possession.
The nightingale strokes me with lullaby,
The note of the cuckoo fills my sweet soul,
The woodpecker’s sound gives me a great sigh:
“Let my soul be fondled by the flaps of their wings, ...

Logical Nonsense In English Alphabet
As all are against auspicious atrocities, agitating aspirants arbitrate astounding audience,
Blow by blow breaking brown bricks brings barbarous battle because blue birds break bad bottles,
Clicking clocks cover cocktail coffee converging corners calling cakewalk cobwebs commercially,
Dancing dolls drink diluted droplets drowning deep digging diversifying didactic doctorates,
Enriching eulogy edifies every evaluator easily energetically emitting extra efforts efficiently,
Fleeting floppies fully fascinated flop frolic fantasy for forgetting farewell fashion falsely, ...

Jallikattu --- Student’s Elation!
Inborn trait traditionally born of courage excitedly demonstrated,
Uniqueness in One Voice against the ban of ‘Jallikattu’
Across the soils of Dravidian kinfolk stirred the law of vanity,
Oceans of folks, young and old, drained of appetite; yet stable in purpose.
Silence is thy way unto the verdict of victory to pronounce unity.
Across the world the voice is the same stirring each heart to melt,
‘Alanganallur’ is thy land of courage displayed in ‘Jallikattu’,
‘Merina’ is thy soil of support voiced together ‘gainst the ban of ‘Jallikattu’.
‘Thamukkam’ is...

I Adorn Thee...
Thou art a dazzling star plunged into my heart with thy smiles,
And my heart is burnt within; yet not distraught to walk unwise,
But I perceive beauty in thy modesty, and I adorn thee,
Thou hast struck my thought with thy fragrant smiles.
I revere thy smile for its majesty and elegance,
I see child-likeness in thy countenance and thou dwell in my dreams.
I’m drenched in the showers of presence and weave the wreath of joy.
Each of thy looks reminds me of the love Juliet whose love is still at the threshold.

She Loves Me...
I see her!
She smiles at me with her looks!
I watch her!
She gazes me with her smiles!
I read her!
She writes in me with her thoughts!
I study her!
She paints in me with her lovely innocence!
I perceive her!
She draws in me with her perceptions!
I dream of her!
She floats in me with wings of love!
I poetize her!
She becomes the muse of poetry!
I adore her!
She hugs my heart with her beauty!
I love her!
Because she loves me!
I made her my poem!
And she's a poem in my world of fancy!
She flies in...
She smiles at me with her looks!
I watch her!

My Pleasure with Satan's Trap
What I choose I plan to do and with Satan's trap,
What I think I hesitate to choose but troubled by Satan's trap,
When I forget the Word of God I derive pleasure by Satan's trap,
When I feel God's Grace below my soul I bargain my soul with Satan,
How I play with God's patience that with the tool of Satan,
How I use Satan's tool that with my love of the world,
Why I love the world of filthiness that I fail to pray,
Why I fail to pray is that laziness has sneaked into my soul,
Where I look for the place to pray that I find nowhere to do so,
Wherefore time...

Oh! My Soul! (Ode)
Oh, My Soul! Where art thou when my body lies in rest
That cares and worries have shrouded it day and night?
Wilt thou guard my corpse close sitting with a rod
That the messenger of death shall take it away?
Or wilt thou sleep close to my corpse and escape cares?
For when my body is at rest I know not what happens unto me
Whether my presence on earth is real or a mystery,
Dreams flash across the horizons and they’re strange and eerie,
Is that thou, my soul, art working in my dreams?
Oh, my soul, tell me, is this rest a rehearsal of death imminent
That I...
