கல்லூரிக் கவிதைகள்...




உயிர்..


தீ குளித்தும் தேகம் வேகவில்லை,
உன் நினைவினில் என்னை நனைத்துக்கொண்டேன்..

மூழ்கடித்தும் நான் சாகவில்லை,
உன் கனவுகள் தானே சுவாசிக்கிறேன்..

நெஞ்சில் -வாள் பதித்தும் உயிர் போகவில்லை,
என் இதயம் என்றோ இழந்துவிட்டேன்..

இப்படி உயிர் பிடித்து உன்னை தேடி வந்தேன்,
பெண்ணே -
நொடியில் - முகம் மறுத்து என்னைச் சாகடித்தாய்...





கவிதைப் போட்டி..

வருடங்களாய் புதைத்த சோகம்,
யுகங்களாய் நீண்ட காதல்,
நிமிடங்களில் தங்கிய நினைவுகள்,
நாளை சுமக்கும் கனவுகள்,-
எல்லாம் செதுக்கிச் செதுக்கி கவிதை வடித்தேன்...

அரை நிமிடத்தில் அலசி விட்டாராம்-!
கவிதை கசங்கி காகிதம் ஆனது...

அமெரிக்க கவிதைகள்...



இரவு விடிய நான் காத்திருப்பதே,

விடியலில் உனக்காக காத்திருக்கத் தானே.
-----------------------------


நான் கவிதை எழுத
உன் காதல் தேவை இல்லை கண்மணி.
என் காதல் தோல்வி போதும்.

--------------------------------


இந்த வழ-வழ அமெரிக்க சாலை எல்லாம்,
உலகிலேயே அழகான உன்
தெருவிற்கு சமமாகுமா? :-)
------------------------------------

-->
உன் பிரிவில் வாழாமல் இருக்கும் சக்தி எனக்கு உண்டு.
ஆனால்,
உன் வருகை வரை சாகாமல் இருக்கும் சக்தி என்னிடமில்லை...

சீக்கிரம் வந்து விடு...
------------------------------------


அடிப்பாவி, உன் மந்திரம்
இங்கும் பலிக்கிறதே,
இந்த அமெரிக்க பேனாக்கள் கூட
உனக்காக தமிழ் கவிதைகள் எழுதுகின்றன பார்..
--------------------------------------


அட, 'Bread'-யிலும், 'Juice'- யிலும்
எப்படித்தான் வாழ்கிறானோ
என்று கவலைப்படாதே,
நான் வழக்கம் போல்
உன் நினைவிலும், கனவிலும் தான் வாழ்கிறேன்...
--------------------------------------


இசையும், மதுவுமே
இரவாகிப் பொன இந்த ஊரில்,

--> நான் மூழ்க இசையும்ஒரே மது நீதான்...

What we all want....

Somehow... whenever friends, old or new, sit n talk...this topic does come up... always... n everybody has so much to say..sometimes...so much
not to say... yup...

One night.. after a party.. while all of us are sittin around on the couch... laughin... smiling...n giggling....always... It comes up..someone.. somehow..brings it up... yup... Love...

Topic of Love, relationships, expectations, marriage n apparently... the good old, what does the opposite sex want? what boys want, what the girls want... conceptions, mis-conceptions...n after that round couch discussion... u just seem to feel so much clearer n light hearted n alive... n the guys just seem so much more than the always joking, never serious drunken goof ups they were few hours a go.. :-) i mean seriously.... n the girls.. Your respect for them just increased ten times....

This talk about Love, n the opposites, does bring something out of everybody... something that people always try hard to keep low... The biggest flirt talks about being used n thrown... The nerdiest guy, speaks such beautiful poetry that u can never even imagine him to speak... n the brightest ,funniest n most bubbling girl, is teary eyed... n the most talkative of the lot- silent...

Have you experienced that? At that moment, you know.. that these r the real people... The people that you have never seen before in your friends, n u may, never see again in a long time...

Love does affect everyone, doesnt it? well..

I will tell you one fact today... A fact tht I know...A fact that most girls dono.... But a fact that most girls think they know... A fact that they badly want to know... A fact they r not going to believe....

When guys hang out.. Close friends I mean...... Not just any bunch of guys...Buddies.... when they hang out... To put in simple words...When they are themselves.... They never care about the sexiest girl n school... they never talk about that voluptous actress from that last movie...

N they don't for sure, talk their dreams of the 'should be' perfect girl... They talk truth... They r plain, about how they dont expect an angel..how they would simply like the plain girl they see and how it would be so simple for her to please them... they just want the girl to put n minimum effort to keep the ship sailing.... they r all prepared for the compromise..

How they wouldnt mind her being another man's girl before... and how if she simply loved them, it would be enough for them to forget n forgive anything she had ever done before... They even talk like saints... About how they are not saints themselves... :-)

It is true... but when it comes to a guy speaking to a girl...Teling her about the girl he would love, He will always explain what he would like in his girl.. in his wife... he longs for... How he would like her to be smart, to share his passions, to be beautiful.... but always hides how he would forget all this n love the girl who can just love him back...

That is the truth n all true love stories... They love each other just for the love....

but guys... I know some of us have lost our faith in the four letter 'BS'.... I personally feel love is crap most of the times... What the hell is it... if not a sex hunt...? But then again... Give ur heart another chance... yes, you were hurt... It was bad... it broke u down... but... There must be a girl somewhere out there whose just born for you... a girl who will love you, even with all her flaws, will love u back....

n girls.. there is a guy out there who would treat you rite... accept his weakness n cuddle up n give it to you to take care of him...


Reminds me of the few lines I read in a Hallmark store...

Dance as if no one can see you,
Sing like no can hear you,
n Love like you've never been hurt...

Yes... It may hurt you sometimes....if it hurts, our friends are always there those idiot girls n guys who can make you smile no matter what... so, go for it....

You may never know what a guy or a girl really look for in the other... but it doesnt matter...
If you truly love, those dont matter...




Enchanted with Autumn....

One of the most beautiful things I saw in this trip, is not one thing, but a season...

There is a season called Autumn... There is no autumn from where I come from...
Only summer..and the rains..

Spring is like the perfect dressed ,cheerful , beautiful girl... Everybody likes her,I would like her too... but to me, autumn is the simple, smiling, plain girl that you see... The girl who is not beautiful...but cute... in just the plain clothes she is on... spring's beauty is in colours... Autumn ...Its something else...


How beautiful can death be? Just as beautiful as life can be...Autumn is beautiful...In a way that is special... That is what autumn is... beauty found where we don't expect it... A raindrop, a waterfall, snowfall, Autumn leaf... what is common to them... Their beauty lies in their fall....

You see, in autumn, Brown is not brown.. Brown is orange,brown is gold ... filling the ground, spreading a floor... gliding through the air.. downfall.. the air is not cold.. not cold to freeze..but cool enough to give the tingling goosebumps..The sun is out..but its not burning... Just enough shine to to light your day up...

It makes me feel like falling in love... I wonder... about the reason its said, people 'fall' in love... :-)

The streets which look washed n cleaned every morning from the rain at the nights...but the real beauty is the sun shining on the wetness glistning... I dono.. everything seems to be happen in slow motion...n in sepia... The cold breeze... touching your earlobes... Autumn..

Its a transition... from one holiday season to another... from summer into christmas... Its a transition....from heat to cold... Summer is beautiful... Snow is beautiful too...but the most beautiful thing, is the travel of the season from summer to winter... the most beautiful thing is autumn...

But..Would I like it to be autumn always? :-) No... Autumn is beautiful.. yes just as i said..But it's the summer heat n winter cold that make Autumn so much more special.. Autumn is like the beauty of a girl's tears... My girl is most beautiful when she cries... But I wouldn't want her to cry always... I want her tears just enough for my fingers wipe... I want autumn, only as much...
