The music of the night
Shyamu Jul 2020
The music of the night
concert by the moon
When the cool wind plays the flute
The trees shake their heads cute.

The long green weeds
grown aside the bay
become the violinist
soulfully playing it to the finest.

lost its sleep, the fish in the lake
leaps out to beat the drum for a sake
The lapping water waves the piano
playing the notes instinctively, you know!

the clouds are busy
Who drift restlessly
to organize the show
and see in the flow

Bettles, crickets, firefly in the lawn
Singing their heart out
To let their pain go out
And ready for the dawn.
Shyamu Jun 2020
It was a beautiful butterfly.
It has yet to see the one,
who will not admire its beauty,
but deep in its heart it had a desire.
It was longing to fly
Nobody knew its wish
Alas! Even the butterfly itself
was not aware
it was a painted one
in a frame
hanging on the wall.

If a painting had a wish,
Was it the fault of the painting?
Was it the fault of its Creator?

Utensils' demand
Shyamu Jun 2020
A grand hotel,it was
With all around cheerful face
Before the master chef's entry
Entered the grief into the kitchen.
The sensible saucepan was sobbing
Upon seeing that,
her younger brother, the adamant
Frying pan was also feeling heavy.
The three supportive sisters
bowl,teapot and jug
Were shedding tears
looking at their family's despair.
The little ones spoons and forks were wailing aloud,their cousin knife
Who was strong and sharp,
Couldn't control his tears.
There came the friendly neighbours
Apron and the gloves
To wipe their tears
And trying their best to console them.
The head of the family
Old pressure cooker was with them.
Watching its family's lamentation
Continuing for ages.
The whole cooking family
Was crying their heart out
Thinking of their situation
in all these years.
The delicious food made in them,  were only to entertain the taste buds
of rich guys not to satiate
the hunger of poor children.

The butterfly in painting
Shyamu Jun 2020
It was a beautiful butterfly.
It has yet to see the one,
who will not admire its beauty,
but deep in its heart it had a desire.
It was longing to fly
Nobody knew its wish
Alas! Even the butterfly itself
was not aware
it was a painted one
in a frame
hanging on the wall.


Was it the fault of the butterfly? or
Was it the fault of the creator?

The Moon
Shyamu Jun 2020
The beams of moonlight
roll down a silver carpet
in the sandy bank.
The soft singing gentle
lapping waves glitter
with its milky jewels

Became the moon's messenger
carrying its silver pamphlets
to the silvery shaded tree.
The milk white pamphlet
with silvery words carrying
message to the Sun to rise late

The moon became the silent audience
enjoying the love birds
perched on the silver tree.
Poetry is all about inspiration...Inspired by the Silver by Walter de la Mare...

Ode to the sky
Shyamu Jun 2020
Her husband presented her
a very long blue saree
Since she has been using it for ages
it has many white patches
hither and thither...

When he roared in anger
striking her with a (f)lash
She'd use her grey saree
and weep bitterly...

Her s(u)on would often come and go
He'd give her a reddish orange saree
in which she looks dazzling...

Her daughter'd visit her in the night
with thousands of her grand children
At the time she'd wear a black saree
She'd narrate them many stories
they'd listen curiously with winkle...
Guess the other characters...

I am being alright
and normal
not because
I've forgotten
I'm able to overcome
or I'm changed
It's because
I'm overwhelmed with my pain

Tell me...What to do???
Shyamu Apr 2020
I gave my heart
you took it...
You pinched it hard to death
and gave it back...
Now,
Tell me...
What can I do with the dead heart?
Shyamu Apr 2020
மறக்கப்போவதில்லை
உன் தவறை...
மறந்துபோகவில்லை
உன் ஞாபகம்....
மரித்துப்போவதில்லை
உன் முகம்...
மறைக்கப்போவதில்லை
என் ஆசைகளை...
மரணிக்கும் தருவாயிலாவது
மனம் விட்டு பேச விரும்புகிறேன்
நான் உன்னிடமும்...
நீ என்னிடமும்....
We talked much...but we hardly had an open heart conversation...I wish to have one...

வலி
Shyamu Apr 2020
நான் வாழ்நாள் முழுவதும்
எண்ணி எண்ணி
ஏங்கியது
கிடைக்கவே போவதில்லை என்னும் எண்ணம் தான்
என் ஏக்கத்தை    
வலியாக
மாறச்செய்கிறது....

LITERARY DEVICES
Shyamu Mar 2020
My life was an imagery
with so many similies...
The scenario it created
made it a romedy...

My life was an irony
with so many illusions...
Wrong motifs were understood
It became a tragedy....

My life is an oxymoron
with so many paradox...
Care for nothing
but everything disturbs...

My life is a tragic-comedy
with so many dramas...
no foreshadowing
but the flashback hurts....
I love literary devices...

GOLDEN PAST
Shyamu Mar 2020
The light of the life
The essence of the dreams
Have gone...
All the plans
All the dreams
All the aims
All the happiness
All the fantasies
are shattered...
The left over is
Worst memories of my GOLDEN PAST.

I am greedy
I am too greedy
I am very greedy
I am grabby
My desire is excessive

I didn't ask for wealth
I didn't ask for good health
I didn't ask for a life full of happiness
Instead
I asked for true ...lifelong friend and friendship

How greedy am I?
What an excessive desire?
I am punished for that

I got pain
I got hurt
I got disappoinments
I got bitterness towards life
I got all these in disguise of friends....

Shyamu Mar 2020
Questionning the survival
is the highest form
of hatredness towards life...

Why am I living?

Expecting death
is the realistic way of living
Have experienced all bitterness
Let me question
Why shouldn't I die?

My love

Never mind
Stay cool....

Believe in you
Shyamu Mar 2020
Why should your pain be shown to others?
Why should your hurts be known by others?
Why should your tears be wipped by others?
Don't you have hands?
Are you not strong?
Are you dead?

If you have tears
then you've your hands also to wipe it
Don't believe anyone
except your hands...
Don't believe anyone....

MY PAIN IS MY OWN PAIN
Shyamu Mar 2020
MY PAIN IS MY OWN PAIN
'cause I won't reveal my pain to others
I shared everything with my dear ones
and
the so called PAIN
was given by
the so called DEAR ONES....
Paining inside
smiling outside
That's the trick...

Happy always
Shyamu Mar 2020
I am happy
I am happy to the core
for others
not for me
Why should I show my long face?
Will anything change?
Whatever happened is happened
Nothing can change it
No one will deny
then why should I be sad?
But I am sad
I am sad to the core
'cause only I know the pain....

MAGIC
Shyamu Feb 2020
Lifelong I had been waiting
for the MAGIC to happen in my life

I thought it fulfilled
by your presence in my life

Later I realised

MAGIC is not with others
It's with in ourselves
We have to search for it...
