Shadow love
Swathi eruvaram Jul 2015
It might sound weird
Unsure if anyone has ever heard
I pass your shadow always
Careful not to place my feet
I love your shadow too
Isn't that sweet!

Happy days
Swathi eruvaram Nov 2015
I have had disturbed nights
But happier days
Happiness wins!
It is difficult to raise a child but the happiness they bring into your life equals nothing

Signature
Swathi eruvaram Jul 2015
Scribbled some millions across the years
But this time I lay my pen carefully
Make the ink flow blissfully
Because its for you
A signature that holds a special responsibility
My first one as a parent on your school diary
One that will remain close to my heart dearly

Juicey
Swathi eruvaram Jul 2015
Cut, squeeze, strain
Lick, slurp, gulp
Five in a row
Its a miracle
From yuck to yum
How did it become
My son had the juice of five sweetlimes today. How nice it feels after the picky/choosy phase.

First skipped meal
Swathi eruvaram Aug 2015
After a tiring trip to the zoo
Your eyes were tired too
Sleep grabbed you down soon
Followed by a missed meal in the noon

I have been counting every firsts

Here is another first
This one is special
Your first. My first with you.

The last year was my best
I was blessed with you
I thank God
Here is another new one awaiting discovery
A memorable one it will be

My resolution...
To keep loving you
Forever...

Blindfold
Swathi eruvaram Nov 2015
I was blind in your love
I didn't realise you were never around

Sneak peek
Swathi eruvaram Jul 2015
Peeking through the door
I try to catch a glimpse of you
But if you knew I was here
You would want to be near too
I am right outside my son's playschool gate. He is busy gardening.

First tooth
Swathi eruvaram Jan 2015
Like a cloud in the blue sky
Like dew on the grass
Like light in the dark
Like a precious pearl
Like a crescent in the night sky

Your first tooth

A brand new smile
A brand new you

Waiting...
Swathi eruvaram Jun 2015
I am alone
I am idle
I have nothing to do
I have nothing else to think of
Rhymes fill my ears from a distance
Sounds startle me often
My neck aches looking at the clock above
I count each minute
I am as tired as the hand that goes around in it
60 more rounds to go
I wish I had a fast forward button to press
I just wait for you to appear
All alone at the playschool lobby

Come to me
Fill my empty hand with yours
Fill my barren heart with happiness
Fill my silent lips wih a smile
Fill my lonely soul with a hug

Come to me my baby

Follow me
Swathi eruvaram Jan 2015
Momma, it's following me
I move, it moves
I groove, it grooves
I smack it, but it stays right there
I walk in a circle, it is sometimes ahead and sometimes behind
Hey, go under the couch
Momma, it's after me again
I climb on you, it's gone
I am down and it goes on and on
More lights turned on, now I see two of them!
I put on my shoes, now it's ready to go too

Baby... that's your shadow, it stays with you forever
Now here's momma's just beside yours
Hug me.
Now you, momma and our shadows are together you see
My son was angry with his shadow yesterday because it kept following him :)

You are my sun
You are my moon

Void
Swathi eruvaram Feb 2015
The clock ticks
I know I can't stay
I tell you it's okay
But my heart sinks
I want you! I need you!
I wait!
Until then
Here you are, right near me
I'm constantly reminded
I see you in me
Engraved on my wrist
Filling the void
Me in you and you in me
I miss my son when I go out to get some chores done and leave him at home. His face makes my day everyday.

Zzzzz...
Swathi eruvaram Nov 2015
My arm becomes your pillow
My voice your music
My rhymes your lullabies
I tell to myself one last rhyme
But it takes atleast fifty for you to sleep

Anger
Swathi eruvaram Jun 2015
My heart is on fire
Someone set it ablaze
Now I will light up theirs
So they never ever throw their wicked gaze
430 · Nov 2015
Lost
Swathi eruvaram Nov 2015
You took me into a love maze and left me there
Now I don't know the way out
I will wait here until you are back
But will you ever come for me?

Tired
Swathi eruvaram Jan 2016
Quiet everyone
Atleast for a moment
Walk away from my thoughts
For once...
I want
My mind to think for me
And
My heart to beat for me
Please
I am tired of all the thoughts that twist my brain
423 · Aug 2016
Hate
Swathi eruvaram Aug 2016
Few thoughts make me cry
Few thoughts make me sigh
Few thoughts make me feel why
I wish I could stop thinking
The more I think, I keep sinking
Bad memories are making my brain itching

Tears
Swathi eruvaram Jul 2015
I hid my pain
But my eyes denied to
My son didn't want to let go off me when I dropped him at school. Seeing him cry I was teary too.

I have an enlarged heart
No, I am not ill
It just expands as you grow
For you to stay comfortable within

Me (you)
Swathi eruvaram Nov 2015
One day I am happy, one day sad
One day good and one day bad
Whatever I am it is because of you
Though I complain, I am nothing without you

All of them are connected
Connected to you

First Knot
Swathi eruvaram Mar 2020
A twirl of blue satin tugged between your fingers
Twining hard trying to keep it intact
Crossing over, squeezing under and pulling out
Learning to make your first knot
Finding bliss in a tangled ribbon
My son learnt to make a knot
317 · Feb 2015
:(
Swathi eruvaram Feb 2015
:(
I am crying
But I need more than just a box of tissues
Because my heart is also weeping within
Help me!

What was your last dream?
Swathi eruvaram Jan 2015
I had a dream this morning
But when I was awake I couldn't remember a thing from it
Then I thought

If you forget what you dreamt
Then the dream was probably not worth remembering

If you remember things from a bad dream
Then console yourself that it was just a dream

If you had a good dream
Then try to make it true

If you didn't dream at all
Then you had your best sleep that night

But ALONE
Never felt so blank

Loaded
Swathi eruvaram Nov 2015
You asked for many kisses
I gave them to you
When I was done giving
You walked slowly
I asked you what happened
You said the kisses made you heavy
Imagine if kisses really made you heavy. A unique thought in my childs mind.

Q&A
Swathi eruvaram Jan 2015
Love.
Do you love me back?
Silence...
Should I take that as a yes?
234 · Mar 2020
Back to school
Swathi eruvaram Mar 2020
A mute wave, an airy kiss, an empty hug
A silent vow made few inches apart
The beginning of yet another first day to school
Back to school can be tough on everyone. A poem I write a while ago.

Why does love always bring down a tear?

Sometimes happy
Sometimes sad
Sometimes... ?
Complete it for me
