Poem: Like a thorn in my heart

 



I wanted to forget that

 like a bad dream

But it hut me

Like a thorn in my heart

 

There was this young girl

Lovely and fair

Cooling my mind like

The rain in the sand

 

Songs of the birds and

The breeze in the air

I thought, will let my

Love for her bloom

 

Desire to tell her, when

Burned like a fire

I’s like a lovebrid

Flying into fire

 

And when I loved her

I never knew

My, once wounded  heart is

Going to be hurt

 

When I did tell her she

simply said no

I knew it will pinch me like a

thorn in my heart

 

Why did I love her

Though she didn’t want

Why did I tell her

Though she didn’t ask

 

I never knew that

The love in my heart

Was For someone who was

Not to be mine

 

To hide out my grief form

The world, all around

I masqueraded with

smile on my face

 

I,  tried  to forget the love

 I had for her

But, still it hurt me

Like a thorn in my heart

 

If there is someone

Destined to be mine

I’ll trouble her with 

My love,forever

 

If there is someone

Destined to be mine

I’ll trouble her with 

My love, forever

Near... But Far

 



The way you look, way you smile,

Puts me in a spell

Your words and sounds, like music notes

Touch my heart so deep

 

 The fragrance when you are near

Is like thousand roses bloomed

I am pulled so hard, close to you

By what you really are

 

I still remain as a stranger in your eyes

I feel you’re so near, still beyond reach.

 

Why don’t you come out from

The hideout of your home

I’m waiting to see you dear

Right outside your door

 

Why don’t you why don’t you

Say you love me too

I have been waiting to

Hear you say me so

              

But those words remain as elusive

Only in dreams that may come true

 

The way you look, way you smile,

Puts me in a spell

Your words and sounds, like music notes

Touch my heart so deep

 

The fragrance when you are near

Is like thousand roses bloomed

I am pulled so hard, close to you

By what you really are

              

I still remain  as a stranger in your eyes

I feel you’re so near, still beyond reach.

kaathirippu (waiting)



അരികിൽ വരുമോ പ്രിയ സഖി നീ 

ഇനിയും അകലാതിതു വഴിയേ 

കുയിലിൻ നാദം തോൽക്കും നിൻ 

ഗാനം കേൾക്കാൻ ഞാനിരിപ്പൂ 

ആ സ്വര വീചിയിൽ ഞാനറിയാതെയെൻ 

മാനസം ആനന്ദ നൃത്തമാടും 


പ്രണയം നിറയും നിൻ മിഴിയിൽ 

ഒരു മിഴി നീരായ് ഞാനലിയും 

പവിഴം പൊഴിയും നിന്നധരം 

എൻ അധരങ്ങളിൽ വന്നണയും 

ആ മൃദു സന്ധ്യയിൽ 

ഞാനറിയാതെ എൻ 

ഹൃദയത്തിൽ ആയിരം പൂ വിടരും 


അരികിൽ വരുമോ പ്രിയ സഖി നീ 

ഇനിയും അകലാതിതു വഴിയേ 

കുയിലിൻ നാദം തോൽക്കും നിൻ 

ഗാനം കേൾക്കാൻ ഞാനിരിപ്പൂ 

ആ സ്വര വീചിയിൽ ഞാനറിയാതെയെൻ 

മാനസം ആനന്ദ നൃത്തമാടും
