Where is river Styx to offer us the clout of immunity?
Who will heal the lesion in this, ‘Achilles’ heel?’
So many venomous arrows pierced our framework
Are there any mystic rivulets to wash away deadly sins?
Are there any nymphs and doves? If so materialize before us;
Open the gate of Ambrosia to devour the nectar of longevity
Multi skull Hydra of noxious breath and blood hisses
Where the flowery backyard of charming birds sing
Stymphalian birds of bronze peaks, metallic feathers
Hound for human brain and guzzle the blood of life
We’re not the Heracles to accomplish the Herculean task
Legend of life depends on the acumen of highbrow verdict!
I put firewall to my ambitions
Attached algorithm to life data
Analogous to digital means
Debug errors of bygone years.
Breathing in an Apps’ world,
Laserdisc life hallucinated by
Colorful graphical configuration
Login to yet another domain
Binary character of fabricated life
Nevertheless we display inner bytes
Buffer for existence as a client
Complier of unsolicited connections
Our life has only one secret code
Never restarts when you crash
No cursors to control in this window
The nebulous place is always a FUD factor!
* FUD – Fear, Uncertainty and Doubt in computer language.
Clouds that hover over the mountain pinnacle
Mould to miniscule to merge as ocean drop
Water that originates from the crystalline torrents
Vapors into condensed haze of cumulonimbus
My whispering chants of entreaty to your ears
Shower the mercy hose to fill up this rivulet
The spell of rain will realize the dreams of
Dehydrated domains in ceaseless dearth!
Sub-zero survival of freezing and melting,
We are yesterday’s snow, tomorrow’s sluice,
O, the Sanctity of all Seventh Heaven and Cloud Nine,
Smear down the oozing blood from the hollowness of our heart
Thaw our tears from the doppelganger ogles of compassion
Bestow us a chance to gasp from the goblet of vacuity
Gratis from the vanished dreams of night’s emptiness
Grant the seascape to enjoy the clarity of the dawn
Bestow us the boon to enter the isle of infinity
O my Moon, gorgeous globe of the Heavens!
Swell up from the profundity of the dark sky
Stand still; wait to set, my anxious appeal,
Anguished soul of mine wants to sleep a lot
The clock strikes eleven; ultimate hour approaches,
Slumber, Slumber! Come fast, come fast,
I crave to dream a lot, throughout the night,
And fill my mind with sacred thoughts
But the forty winks could not surmount me
Splendid beauty of the moon surpasses me
By watching your amiable visage, I dreamt a lot!

You are the re-embodiment of my adored soul,
Facsimile of the essence of love and hatred
You foster fascinating food to fertile emotions
You surpass all nuptial mirth of livelihood
You throw my wits across the yawning chasm
Grief and glee amasses the music of compassion
Sore thinking and subtle bigotry makes me blind
Heaping over Himalayan howler, meager regrets make me
The lumbering voice of distrust and mistrust
Why don’t you absorb and grasp the embryonic thoughts
hatched by the barren minds of hypocrisy?
Kissing the knife, you impair your facade
The blood will not pacify the Tsunamic soul!

You’re no one, nobody and nothing to me
But, my soul searches for you, time and again
Your smile is a boon to my age-old sacrament
Eyeballs are yearning for your tête-à-tête
Passions instigate from the profundity of my heart
But all my talents peter out in your absence
Manna dew of seventh heaven reflects your visage
You’re winter’s first shower, this thirsty earth craves to sip

The soul burns like a flame
And the volcanic flare-up of
Ignited brains
Vomits fiery ember;
Mouths clogged,
Eyelids unpack,
Tears mixed blaze
Emits moist inferno,
Engulfs all…
And that is the incineration of
Caste, color and credo!

As you grow up sky-scraping
Make your roots unfathomable
Infiltrate into endless terrain
Escalate inner mind, kindle soul
Serene in the sanctum of heart
You ascend above the whirlwind
Make radiance in bewilderment
Carry coronet in the halo head!

Blue skinned sanctity of liveliness
Enchant our soul by your solace
Pluck a quill from your peacock crown
Soothe our spirit by clairvoyant touch
*
Melodious musical notes reverberate
From flamboyant chalice of eternity
Permeate doppelganger ear of deafness
Amalgamate our oxygenic core of life
*
Vicious serpents of venomous teeth
Dance with hoax, sleaze and rip-off
Spin the speedy helm of antidote to sever
Their cranny cranium for a bouncy horizon!

Midnight’s silence merges in our echoing heart – beats
Full moon smiles even in sleepless hours of darkness
Milky gleam of light infiltrates mirrored walls of domicile
Yesterday’s penury, tomorrow’s destiny equates today’s fruition
Human means of life surrenders the cipher of Nature
Gloominess and gladness dwells in your receptacle
You single out the choice by your revelation of life
Merry swell or scary skull materializes in your own vision
As children our eyeballs gaze
Ample lingering dreamland
Where full moon blooms
As teens our ogles sense
Effervescent stance of adoration
Tranquil in moonlit milky nights
In the twilight of existence
Our grey- haired eyes stare
Incandescent ball of romance
Longing from dissimilar corners
But all in the life Moon is juvenile
Like so our undying memoirs
அந்தி வேளையில்
குருதியில் தோய்த்த
அகண்ட ஆகாயத்தில்
ஒய்வு தேடி நான்
மேற்கு நோக்கி
பலாயனம் செய்கிறேன்
வழியெங்கும் விண்மீன்கள்
கைகொட்டி சிரிக்கின்றன
என் மறைவில் மட்டுமே
அவை ஜொலித்து பழகிவிட்டன
விடிவானில்
வெள்ளிக்கீற்றுகள்
மவுனமாய் விழுந்து உடைவதை
அவை அறிவதில்லை
தாலி அறுந்த
விதவை நட்சத்திரங்களின்
ஒப்பாரி என்னை தினமும்
துயில் எழுப்புகிறது
கிழக்கில் மீண்டும்
உதித்து எழுகிறேன்
இன்னொரு
பயணத்துக்காக…
– விஜில் குமார்
Wards of avarice and repression
We fabricate fortress in the air
Weave fiber of narcissism
Waltz in the arena of miasma
We beseech grace from next skin
With fury in the droplet of blood
Worthless ego crammed cells of mortal
Worry for redundancy of wits
Wall of fire will burn our desires
We conquer corollary of delight!
Your siestas make our mellowness
We inherit your blood and acumen
Nothing is analogous to mother’s love
Her sweat and spirit rejuvenate our life
Incubate embryonic days in the divine foyer
Abide ache to clinch joyous burden
Immune physique, lactate healthier habits
Fabulous touch fabricates our moral fiber
Embrace our mind and wits for ever
Your worship and verve is everlasting
So long as soul of benevolence dwells on us
Deserted hopes of delusion
augment in our own brains
Fix the days of thrilling tedium
through the sacred radiance
Dispose dominant sense of self
chock-a-block in moral fiber
Stylish stance of unwise
dwindle by devout elegance
Passions of abundant grandeur
vanish by gracious touch
Subtle shades of truth float up
gizmos of false fable anyway
Condensed clouds of cumulonimbus bursts
The earth is soaked by the season of liquid days
Moist sun saunters over unfathomable billows
Hose – fumes of ambiance boost up greenish pastures
Water of precipitation fills craters of the carved globe
The blend of sky and earth liquefies the pangs of separation
Ancestry of the creation attains salvage by tiny droplets of rain
The manna dew of the Heavens showers the quintessence of life…
The blooming garden of
Bewilderment shines
Perturbed passions
Reborn in the altar of soul
Life is slipping away
In the plummet of the day
Roses and dahlias
Dazzle in airborne colors
Never fear to face
Yet another dawn
Death – O – meter strikes
But cheer, all in the life
Million eyes gaze on your facade,
You make tranquil in our heart and sense
Transcend minds to ease mortal miseries
Bequeath myriad verse to rhymesters
Bestow maudlin tides to aficionados
Wherever ascending or descending
We glimpse the inimitable veneer
Rhythmic to synchronous revolution
You stoop to no one’s supremacy
No colorful charade in any milieu
You are primed of stone and sludge
But flesh and blood to us –
A very passionate soul of life!
Scorching Sun seldom shattered
By sauntering in the vibes of the billows
Sapphire sky in no way weary of
The blazing sun or breezy moon
Water’s edge never fatigued
By watching the dance of the wave
Brook is sweaty once in a blue moon
By hilarious guzzling of covetous men
Never I dead-beat by your nuance heart
In search of my salvaged soul
Hair’s breadth I ebb and flow in
Gratifying the pipe- dream of your wits
Not the least bit have I ignored
The love of drizzle you sprinkled on me;
In the gloominess of your absence
I glimpse the dazzling stars of you!
