crawl with my words
As a breast crawl of newborn infant
To taste the nectar a poetry holds
When it blooms as an alluring flower...!!
Then there might be few flaws
But with words no fails and falls  !!

Moon in the morns
stars with their stares
Keep themselves mum
With the rise of  day's sun !!

KAVITHA ....that's my name
And I do love my name..
For it has given me fame.
And I thank my parents for the same !

As I do write what my name is..
And in short, I'm what my name is
KAVITHA....a poetry
KAVI....a poet....!!

Infinite emotions
Innumerable feelings
Inexpressible in words
Interestingly surfaces as silence
Interacting to thousand minds
In ten thousand words !!

Your smile, a gift,
Brightening the world,
Radiating warmth,
With each curve unfurled.

A treasure, priceless,
Shared without a fee,
A beacon of joy,
For all hearts to see.

In this act of kindness,
A day is transformed,
Not just for them,
But for you, a day reborn.

So let your smile shine,
Illuminate the way,
For smiles are treasures,
Words can't convey.

Under the shade of greens
Gentle breeze
Along the trees
Turns pages of book
That has my mind on it.. !!
By my side, the sparrows
Walk on wall much alike jump
And then fly so lively
Leaving in me a thought...
And a  wish. ...
If I could fly.....!!

Shimmering sharp sword
Slit my throat deep
Aiding bleed profusely…
While your words dazzled  bright
Viciously laughing at the fallen me…

Like the clouds that colour the sky
You painted on me all colours of happiness, and you are my clouds!!

Like the tides that finds solace
In the warm caress of the shores
I find in you....soothing console
To the troubled tidal thoughts of mine ......and you are my shore !!!

Like the trees that dances to the gentle breeze......my heart rejoices in having you.....and you are my world around!

Who ever may you be...
What ever may I be...
We are bound to be...
For each other....always to be !!

Thank you,  my dad..
For presenting me this beautiful world
And allowing me to inherit
Your qualities and principles, always heard.....
" Stand with truth and stand for truth without any fear"..
Which I dearly and sincerely follow
With a firm promise never to unfollow..!!

You have  given me the identity
And owe it to you for what I'm today
and the person I'm every day..!!
With pride and as protection
I carry your name as a part of mine
Till my Doom's day !!

Sometimes....
A smile of your's
Makes some one's day. ..
So why not smile
To make it their day ..
And a day good to you too
With the smile..

For
Smiles are ...
Invaluable visible treasures
That we hold to offer..
At cost free. ..

Violent waterfalls in the
wilderness of vast greenery
Showered on her the
chillness of heavenly drops..
In the taste of  her favourite strawberry....
With alluring scent of red roses..
Sending  vibes  of happiness..
Across her spines..
driving her into her own world..
of dreams and fantasies.....
And the waterfalls continued
It's magical silvery smile!!

standing  beneath a mammoth  hill
Gazed up in fright and awe
as umpteen  thoughts raced across
On how to touch its majestic crown
to witness the world that lay underneath
from its wondrous height, but then
Will I succeed?

Determination whispered in my ears
with a lofty “yes” ,though shivers struck
a moment , then with a deep breath
And  firm foot- stepped up.. doubtless
of  Will I succeed?

Each breath accompanied every stride
to fulfill a dream that heart dreamt of
To touch the glory, that shines atop
For a panoramic view of nature’s  best
And mind settled  with no question of
Will I succeed?

Joyful tears stream down
At the sight of serene and tranquil greens
that lay at foot , imbibing a vanished pain
for sweeter  joy, And in deep breath
a whisper was heard..
“I have succeeded”….,!!

Under the dark but jewled sky
With the smiling stars
And shining moon
I sit alone waiting for your arrival
Come ' on dear
Let's have talk
Let's have fun
And let's fall...
To the laughs from that!!

The child in me plays gleefully
Spinning the umbrella as if
In a whimsical way…
As a way to get soaked
in the drops of rain
And fall in the world
of magical display.
that fills my heart with joy
As the rain softly twirls…!!
Sipping a  cup of warmth,
held close in  hand, And
gazing from afar, enchanted and charmed
I wander through the misty wonderland
Created by the dense drops from the sky
And then sneezing all-day
Sending a sigh of fever
But still enjoying it
As monsoon’s gentle touch…..
And then waiting for another drench
A moment
that nothing else can restrain!!.

I have a sister, like my version better
Much more than me  sweeter, brighter
Grew up with all richess like a princess
Elegant charming beautiful to impress !!
Regularized  proposal seeking her hand
To become consort in grand..
Boastful of  having proposed
to the queen of wealth and Beauty, supposed...!!

Married off when she was still a child
To a future unknown she had to hold..
She dreamt of a babies
As loved babies and singing lullabies
Years and years  tearfully waited
Baby boy born as boon, we celebrated!

Her bundle of joy grew as a person
Of wisdom, righteousness and precision
Stood strong and tall so handsome
And a pantomath in wholesome..
Until the day...it happened!

Smoke from fire on trees nearby
Set to clear the land thereby
Drastic pollution it caused
Hazardous to  all beings around
In special to our little prince
Who has not recovered ever since !!

Choking forever and feeling breathless
Starving without food, always restless
He is suffering like hell
At whom can he yell??
Acts of absurdity of some..
Are often a curse to humans!!

Small seedling planted in cultured soil of  The Chinmaya
With all morals and ethics well observed and absorbed roots
Has grown firm and strong with branches spread across the globe..
Like an evergreen umbrella tree providing shade and support
To the ones who stand under it, otherwise too.

The flowery shower of naturally pure wishes and blesses
From all branches of the giant awesome tree
Has added fragrance to my special day……
To remain as such for each day and every other day !!

By all means, I feel words at scarce  
To express my gratitude so sincere..
However,  My heart from depth expresses
Heart filled thankfulnesss…..
To all branches
Of this Mighty Evergreen Friendship tree….

Fierce attitude
To be an achiever
So as to hold  the
trophy in hand
High upto sky...
And so  toasted
the efforts...
But then realised
hopes had holes
As I stood still
At where it started !!!

Some asked "define you"

I said...
Aged skin
Weak body
Strong heart
Controlled mind
Powerful will
That reflects in eyes...
That's my grandma !!
And
To define me...
Just the reverse...

Sky in blue
Sent vibes of love
To beautiful boungainvilleas....
And they blushed in pink
Singing songs of joy....
Heard even at distant far !!

No curbs
No obstacles
but only crystalline path
I feel, i find and i see
for a breakthrough
in my landing spot
lending me voice
to sing accolades
Of unseen Power
For the perfect timing
Of all lovely miracles...!!

Fragrant lush green
Shines as emerald
In the bright shower of
Mid noon sun…
And
In the deepest corners of
My heart it reminds me of
Glowing me
And the doting you!

Distance between you and me
Distanced words from me
Though rainbows shine
Bright in the heart
With every colour of it
reminding you...
In the broad void mind !!

Morning walk, a stroll with the rising sun,
Beneath the morning sky, wandering as one.
Awakening mind, body, spirit in tune,
Engaging in silent discourse with the breeze at noon.
Listening to chirping birds' melodious song,
Smiling at cheery faces, feeling belong.
Inhaling scents of blooming flowers so sweet,
Joyfully shedding calories, a wholesome feat.
Simple walk brings ample gains,
A word to share, walking brings no pains.
Embrace it daily, a habit to adore,
For sure, it will inspire you to walk more.

Heavy pour of rain just stop
With water at every step
The trees stand bathed
Waiting some to dry it, soothed

I look out of my window to view
The beauty of nature as a preview
He pulls me by my hand
Under a small tree makes me stand

I stand with my hand around me
To beat the chillness piercing me
Wonder stuck I look at him
Responds with a naughty mime

With all force he waved the branches of trees .
Getting me bathed in the waters falling off the trees. ..
I gave him an aghast look
But he and trees bore a cheerful look  

What more to ask for ...???
Than enjoy smile the tree and my dear wore...

but with a question ..
Does he love me or the tree more??

What and who.... I'm to you
Is defined by the  way
How you are to me  ..!!

Stars shine in her eyes
Yearning to live a life
Firm in mind to fall in place
either illusional or real..
Sans  letting life to leave
No less than a reconquer
Of the lost glee  .
She  dreamt..
Of umpteen pictures with songs
Unique  song of silence  said it all....
And i backed her dreams
With my own song of silence...!!

Though destined to be one
A wrath so unforgiving
Seems to have torn us apart
Making us drift apart
In ways different..
As two desperate leaves
moving along...
One guided by wind's dance
other flowing along gentle stream
In the nature's vast expanse
Finding solace in seperate fate
Embracing the beauty of solitude...
Dreaming to cross paths..
Somewhere and somehow..
As journey continues...!!

She Stood firm on her roots
tossing head to blowing breeze
Boldly bearing scorching furious heat
And Joyfully embracing the chills
flowing under her heels...
She endured her life each day
To the tunes of nature's choice..
And petal by petals she blossomed
As an angelic wild flower
Of grace and power...
Smiling lucidly to the world around..
Still standing  firm on her roots...!!

Rope tightly tied to  poles
Feels the pain of  little girl's legs
Moving as hands horizontally held
Balancing walk from fall into hunger  
Agitated little face reflecting it !!

Small boy steps his dance smilingly
To music of Nashik Dhol
Tuned by a mother's mind
In pain and sorrow...yet with hope !!

Father walks round and round
Whipping his own oiled body
Stubbornly bearing pain of beat
Picking tiny coins thrown by crowd
Into  collection plate of their life !!

A circus for living !!

In the realms of dream
When stars and moonlight
Weave their tales..
I seek solace in the ocean
Of my eyes
As your smile hurts much
Along with unspoken words
And innumerable emotions,...
Your gaze takes me away
from being as my self
to the deepest
layer of the wild ocean...
Filled with blues and sharks
And the striking tides ....
And i lay there..
Under the moon light..
In the realms of my dreams
Thinking of you ....!!

Between  prayers and tears
Is heard the whispers
uttered in tune so low ..
by melancholic mind...
Understood by none
than the resident there.....

You believe they are yours
For them you put in your life
As you think they and you
Are no different….
You feel they are your world
but believe, you are not even in their world… and least welcome!!
Do they deem you their own ?
As you regard them as your own ?!
No, they are their own selves
Only you belong to yourself.

Chirping voice of  gleeful birds
Broke my  fretful  thoughts
And as I gazed at them in wonder
To see their happy ways
Little smile carved in
Ousting glumness from my face
To refill my mind again with questions!!

Did the birds sing to me
To join in their song?
By leaving my worries
And move forward weightless
With no burden of fear and tear
And face on spot anything graciously!!

For there exists forever for everyone
The sky and Earth !!

In your signature smile
I fell too deep..
Now
The Universe in view
For me is you !!

If only darkness is felt
In and around you....
Remember...
Hard work and patience
have a say... and pay..
To make you glow like a full moon
From being a no moon !!

the noisy outbursts
Like a sort of tantrum
of all words quite lucid
on anchoring at shore
than setting a sail across  
the globe....
tends sleeplessness..
And the wakened dream
takes  to depths of water
Layered in layers
In search of peace within
and to behold the beauty
of the unseen world
always dreamt….!!

Like fish out of water
I gasp  for a bit of breath
Wriggling left  and right
I end up waking straight
As some voice from invisible self
Seem to pierce my inner soul
In the deep dense night
Of intense silence..
Surrounding darkness sends a shiver
Along the rhythm of talk I hear...
But from where??
An echo from heart..??
Or a babble of soul??

Missing you hurts my heart
sending emotions hard to find
As words hide themselves
Deep inside refusing to talk
Silencing the scene....
Yet
Eyes speak the concealed words
In the flow of tears that
falls in designs of letters
Framing your name
Making it shine as crystals !!

Frightening  howls from far end of night
Haunted  her mind with wild thoughts
Sending cold vibes across her mind and body..
As she lay there with eyes closed
Adding  darkness  to her darkened world….

Hoping for  ray of moon to touch her  paining mind
Offering a soothing light to heal wounds of her soul
Inflicted by rough knifed words that slit her bones
Causing pain more than broken glass
Cutting her tender skin…
 
With hope she sleeps with half mind open
Waiting for sun to shine above her head
To walk straight in bright light  free from fear of losing him...
And walk with emptiness
Than bear the love for some one
Who has almost killed her and left her!!
She is now a free bird....
Ready to fly again high ...

Seem born yesterday...
With innocent charming adorable look
Blithely joyous in their own world
Today, Grown up to face challenges of life and world…

Pillars to hold, children are to their parents and world
Doubtlessly the future, for the future world.
Have built their base determined, with strong, high and great marks
To stand tall with vision on their mission accompanied by a bright sparkle...
To themselves  and for whom they are descendants !!

Congratulations....to each of the little souls !!!
Prayers ,wishes on their way for  achievements many more...
In all their endeavors henceforth..
With infallible firm walk seeking success glory and fame
In realisation of dreams and goals
Making parents smile with pride
A return gratitude for their strive
In making a better person of their child...

Best wishes to the young adults in their journey to future ....!!!

Shielded me  from the scorching heat
Giving warmth in the smoky winter
Held me  steady in the turbulent storms
By the ways you held me tight ..
At the home I have found ...
In the middle of your heart . ....!!

We sat intact ,alone on the corners of benched sand dunes
Far away from tantrums of the beach and dwellers
Chatted long of the past present and future..
With no voice overheard, any eyes unnoticed
Perched together with hand in hand
Heart on heart facing head to head
Viewed ocean's happy and furious tides
Thrilled people with rhythms of waves
But silently in a world our own
Cherished our intimacy....
Embraced our lively lovely togetherness
Me and my loneliness !!

Whole of me is devoted to you
much like a doll
dancing to your moves...
Cheerfully smiling through
Though bleeding deep within....
In the wait for a scent of you
least from far....
For me to stay alive !!

Standing on  top of the world
Shouting from bottom of the heart
Holding you tight to the core
Beyond which impossible for more
To  show world that’s deaf and blind
Of how much I adore  you…..
Be aware,  on your hold
Swings my life, either
to shine like a lively star atop
Or fall like a burnt charcoal dead
deep down !!

Inborn talents suppressed deep
Under the layers of cornerstone
With feelings of repression
Flowing like river of red all through
Fighting wars within self
And conceding defeat everyday
As barter for harmony to surround !!
Yet ..
At time that's so perfect...
The Mighty's hand extends
To nurture concealed skills
letting the soul sing a song of joy
And float on the flow of life
To destination satisfaction!!

Disappointments... Nothing new to me
As befriended me since age small
Along with me still though grown tall
Packed so tight as priceless trove
As taught lessons so complete each time
To face all odds and walk ahead...
To disappoint all disappointments !!

Umpteen reasons behind the silence
Yet gets silenced time and again..
crossing fountains of fudges
borne enough in abundance...
As mind fancies your image..
With accompanying twists of dance
to tunes of beats the breeze delivers
from the  far end of world...
Proving again.....egolessness
in the care for the soul it adores !!

-kavitha prabhakaran

In the dazzling darkness of  serene night
tiny stars shut their twinkling eyes
Moon  clad in gorgeous golden glow
Pose in an alluring smile
In the warm thoughts of togetherness
On sun's arrival after a night's break !!

Blossoming sunlight springs in shyness
with moon disappearing silently
hiding from the vibrant view of burning sun
blush and hide is accustomed
to growing love for each other every day..
Though
Never destined to be together ever
Like me and you forever...!!??

Life seems beautiful when
I see you smile
Though apart thousands of mile
Life seems ugly when
there is gloom on your face
Even when we are together at a place..
