Sumali Nagarajan Poems

When I first laid eyes on you,
I was awestruck!
You were exquisite in your appeal,
Even though you grew in muck!
...

What is meditation
Just focusing of attention
Not actively thinking
Of life's distractions.
...

My constant companion
Has always been a walk
Never felt lonely
As to myself I can talk.
...

Tumko dekha to yeh khayaal aaya
Bhesh ko kathor par dil ko naram paaya
Tum murjha jaaoge to sochenge
Tumhe to khoya, tumhari tasveer ko paaya
...

I walked alone in the garden
In a reticent and pensive mood
Kinds of foliage grew around me
But plenty on my mind to brood.
...

I want to forgive
Why is it so hard?
God! Give me the strength
And a big enough heart.
...

Today it's going to be hard to smile
But I will overcome this setback
Even if it's after a while.
...

Pretty bird
Sitting so pretty
But awaiting someone
In melancholy
...

Dear Bamboo
Each time I look at you
The thing that strikes me
Is your 'class'
...

You have an amazing grace!
Your beauty is simply sublime!
Not that I believe in God!
But to me you are surely divine!
...

When I was in my mother's womb
I was warm and contented
Sleeping at will
And kicking when playful
...

12.

Woman is an enigma
Nature's charisma
Woman's compassion
Knows no culmination.
...

Is something wrong
With marriage as an institution?
It's a centuries old tradition
But will it survive or not
...

At first this novel just creeped me out
Woman is Submissive, man is Master
She wears his collar
What's this all about?
...

No, we don't demand equality
Let's go by this fundamentality
We need your masculinity…it attracts us
Just like you need our sensuousness.
...

Jab dil tuta
Rah gayi meri tanhaayi
Bahut si baatein
Jo tumse kehani thee
...

One day
While jogging on the highway
An unusual sight I saw
That filled me up with awe.
...

The story of love
Most commonly told
Yet never gets old.
...

Between men and women
There is no real friendship
Its always just a deal
Both are getting something.
...

The Wind Blows Harder

My back hurts most of the time
I have practically no energy
...

The Best Poem Of Sumali Nagarajan

Who Gave You Your Beauty? (Pic Attached)

When I first laid eyes on you,
I was awestruck!
You were exquisite in your appeal,
Even though you grew in muck!

The contrast of colors was captivating,
Your core even more breath-taking!
The pointy petals tantalizing.
The waters below, gently twirling!

Are you aware of your beauty?
Do you even know its effect?
Can anyone pass you by?
Without even pausing for a bit?

Who gave you those mesmerizing colors?
Who made those soothing layers?
Who gave you your dreamy quality?
Tell me, who gave you your beauty?

Was it your parents, coz' they say it's in your genes?
Or was it the dark murky waters,
Which made you want to stand out?
Some will give the entire credit to God,
Irrespective of whether He is found or not!

Not me, I would rather give your photographer his due,
Who waited patiently for the bloom,
So 'he' could capture 'You'!
