I talk in my mother tongue
Tamil being the tongue
I felt at home with my mother
so do I talk in the tongue of my mother
she had a great love for the vernacular
found mistakes in my writings without a binocular
I did learn English and French
could write and speak French
English is special to me
I mastered it with no fee
still I prefer my own language
as I wish to acknowledge
the richness and exuberance
the 
epics and poetry are so intense
drama and novels are mind-blowing
its grammar and syntax are excruciating
Tamil is an ocean with references
I have a great reverence
and I salute its veracity
as it commands a versatility

Slowly I Do
Slowly I discover
what is under the cover
Slowly I unravel
what is in the travel?
Slowly I unfurl
what is behind a curl?
Slowly I undertake
what is on the take?
Slowly I deliver
what is beneath the lever?
Slowly I square up
what is between the steps?
Slowly I go
along with the flow.
slowly I would pass
totally into an impasse.

The Days In A Month
The significance of the day
takes me away
every day has an importance
with many attributes intense
One day they say is ashtami
not for actions in glee
another is navami
not bad in the see
so many mi’s come
sapthami, thasami a welcome
the full moon day is auspicious
so is the new moon day in spacious
so go the days through the month
give us an information in strength.
It is the eclipse the day before
seen beautifully in the night
lunar eclipse did show up
pujas and homams took place
my land has beliefs
for each phenomenon of nature
Especially for the eclipses
pariharams for different stars
archanas for the stars
with flowers and coconuts
and new vastras donated
the day after the eclipse
people throng the temples
do the required penance
well, my land abounds with such faith
say the astrologers it is based on science
I know not for real
as I believe in Good
not on the rituals so elaborate.

Because I Said So
Because I said so
is the common version
I had warned you before
you did not listen to the reason
this way the interpretation goes
could be an interruption in a close
tilt the balance so quick
it would seem to be a great pick
a rightful thought could also be
yet go within a glee
do not say you said so
it would raise issues in toe
firm in your words as such
creates a sensibility very much
that is how one has to deal
instead because I said so is not a heal
it is but repetitive words in a chorus.

The Sensory Organs.
The eyes glow
the nose blows
the eyes shed tears
that be in the form of water
the nose leaks
that be in the mode of water
the eyes flutter in a speed
the nose sneezes with a velocity
both keep on their schedule
the eyes catch a glimpse
the nose smells an aroma
the eyes have sights long and short
the nose gets loaded with cold
there be a motion altogether
the sensory organs nose and eyes together
boss over the rest with an authority
the tongue, ears and skin follow meekly behind
while the brain watches the five with glee
as all look up to its instructions with a plea.

To Beat The Thirst.
Tailored to the need
clipped to the feed
stretched to the seed
ready made in all blends
a welcome trend
should see a glorious send
yet it did not take off
as there was a break-off
made each one to scoff
envisaged a smooth embark
but it slipped from the track
got
stranded in the midst
unable to beat the thirst.
Am I afraid of the dark?
never, quoth I with pride
dark is a bliss
when one can hear a hiss
it preempts a fear
never so to me dear.
The scary darkness as all say
is one not of gay
I relish in its silence
revel in its dissonance
darkness has its own glory
yet all condemn it with fury.
I lie in the darkness
with memories of past
one by one they go on a show
the long back comes in very slow
the lessons I learn
checks me with a discern.
sleep and darkness go well
they complement one another
as darkness sets in
the eyelids close in
slumber overwhelms to a death status
the conscious turns dormant in phases.
Theft and murder happen in darkness
a common belief all so ever
darkness hides the wrongdoer
never do I vouchsafe for this terror
evils take place in broad daylight
the men pass without casting a sight.
I am an advocate of darkness
I deny its allegiance to illicit
I admire its loveliness
the black sky renders a greatness
I might be a quixotic being to you
yet to me the darkness is best to view.
Darkness relates to many attributions
it being a benefactor to most
lovers huddle together in proximity
darkness gives them the wanted privacy
the child nudges and cuddles on to the mother
the birds nestle close under their feathers.
To be in the dark, an idiomatic expression
illustrates the ignorance in a strength
little does it know that darkness illumines
dark is an associate of calmness determines
an incongruity and a paradox ruminate
the explicitness is in the real frame
darkness puts radiance to a shame.

An expectation thereon
could become a reality
if the trend goes on
it would result in prosperity.
The wait is a kill
needs a tolerance
if one cannot be still
there would be a difference.
An endurance with patience
would bring glory
Well, then the sustenance
would never be sorry.
A stoicism would help
the resolute would succeed
so it should be a step
first and final indeed.

Not made A Penny
Not made a penny
why not? you may ask
How to? I do not know
as I am not a writer of merit
I had not got any credit
write for what? you may ask
I would say it is a passion.
Passion will not help, you say
really it helps me
How? you may ask.
Yes, I say with a feel
I pour out my emotions
will it lend a sustenance?
you barrage me with queries
I repeat “I have not made a penny.”
you walk away with anger
believe me or not, I cry
I have not made a penny.
