In Memorium: Decoding the distant, deep dilemmas


Moments with you, my muse,
were mementos to marvel, mesmerized.
Your murmurs magically mimicked
the mimes and melodies of Margazhi.

A pale parody of Paradise, or a paradox?
It’s all a part and parcel
of plans of someone powerful and potent.
Primed with purpose, a panacea

Revel, reverberate and resonate, did you
Ringing in riveting ripostes
on a rebellious rampage. No respite for me
have to rein in and redeem, with reverence.

Sans you, even a sumptuous spread
shows similarities to a salt less snack
like the silence of strings or satire that's not sharp
Stings me sore, shoving me to abyss
Soaking in it all, seems so surreal
Surely salvages something; satisfaction and solidarity.

ಮತ್ತೆ ಆನುಪಲ್ಲವಿ

ಝೇಂಕಾರದ ನಿನಾದ​
ಪಿಸುಗುಡುವ​ ಮೌನದೊಳು
ಅದೆಷ್ಟು ಗ್ರೀಷ್ಮಗಳ​
ನೆನಪುಗಳ​ ಒಡನಾಟ

ಸಂತಸದ​ ಸಲ್ಲಾಪ​
ಪ್ರತಿನಿತ್ಯ​ ಪರದಾಟ​
ರಸಭರಿತ​ ರಿಂಗಣದ​
ಅನವರತ​ ಅನ್ವೇಷಣೆ

ಸಮ್ಮತಿಯ​ ಸಾನ್ನಿಧ್ಯ​
ಪರಿಮಳವ​ ಪಸರಿಸುತ
ಧಮನಿಯೊಳು ಧಾವಂತದಿ
ಬೀಳ್ಕೊಡುಗೆ ಬಯಸುತಿದೆ

ರಂಗೇರಿದ ರಂಪಾಟಗಳು
ಸವಿಮಾತಿನ​ ಸೆಣಸಾಟಗಳು
ಕಣ್ಸನ್ನೆಯ ಕಂಪನಗಳು
ಚಿರನೂತನ​ ಚೇತನಗಳು
