Calm

 Calm,

In every bit of trickling water

That hurries away smoothly down the river 

Calm,

In every leaf that detaches itself slowly

From its family in its tree 

Calm,

In every breeze that blows peacefully 

Away all the clobbering worries

Calm,

In every second of a sunset so slow as I think

Colouring the sky orange and pink 

Calm,

In every photograph, a memory 

Of the past with times so merry

Calm,

In every tender press, a calming note

On the piano, a feeling that floats

Calm,

In every sip of cool water first

That quenches your lasting thirst

Calm,

In every bit when you close your eyes 

To fall into a haven of dreams and lies

Calm,

In every bit a hug wraps around you

To make you feel not so blue

Calm,

In every ghost of laughter so gone

That brings up a happy shade of a mild fawn

Calm,

In every sight of a smile so warm

Warmth that brings sensation of calm

Calm,

In every syllable of the word

Calm.

    Beautiful da thangam!!! Your poems are becoming more and more poised by the day Kanna!! Calmness is a very important quality to have, especially in the face of a storm! The depths of waters can be seen only when the waters are calm and still! Similarly , an unperturbed mind has the capability to think straight, and come out of any problem easily!
    May the Lord Almighty help you remain calm and composed in any situation da pattu chellam!! Keep writing !!

    Loads of Love

Behind The Mask

  Behind the clouds  Is the hidden sky, so far, Behind the plasters, A nasty scar, Behind the curtains,  Are bright windows  But behind a mask - It is not for show. Not until you tumble into the trap,  Stay trapped there, in disguised gloom  Without realising it - And then go deeper and deeper  To discover what really looms. Then realisation strikes - How they behaved, how they feigned The hidden meaning behind every wave  You've found it. And the rage, You try to stifle it with much courage, But instead, burn down the page, And whoops - that leads you to your cage. But in the end, the mask is gone - To reveal an atrocity, so from it begone Don't explain, on its own will it dawn - Upon others, just the way it did on you - Ignore their every scorn. Just wait for their mask to be openly torn.

So Close, Yet So Far

  What you knew you had right beside you What you never knew might leave you What you had neglected for days What you wished was still there, within your gaze. That miniscule amount of hope  That you feel lingering close by You could open out your arms, embrace it, But suddenly it's high in the sky. Once within your grasp, But now away from you, Don't waste a moment on a wee gasp, Time won't stop, and the moving hope too. Each moment is to be caught, Each memory to be cherished, Hold them carefully in your arms, Before they shall vanish. The consistent inkling when you feel, Something close, yet so far, Is only because you know yourself, That it is within your grasp, but not within your confidence. If you're positive enough that you can hold it, The 'it' that is mysterious and something only you know, You can hold the precious 'it', Clutch it tight, don't let it go. You must be close to the end of the day, With its cliffs and slopes and Rocky slides,...

They

You know what they say, "Practice makes Perfect"?  You know how they say, "Let the past  Be the past"? You know how you feel Knowing something you're doing  Is not right, You know they're watching you ponder, You do, right? They stay around you, you meet them, see them Everyday, They can give glowing smiles, or uncanny looks Depending on the aura around you - Wherever you are, they are there  They are there everywhere. You might think you're alone, somewhere D eserted But you never are They're still there - And they are also probably the ones Who know you, better than you know  Yourself. They say confusing strings, There are lots of songs they sing, They have seen lots of things, There's something, which, to myself I'll always Think, It will either remain unanswered,  Or will be forgotten,  But I shall not think it will be addressed But nonetheless -  They cannot control  Everything you do  Even if the things they have said  Echo co...
