Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi Poems

Knock down, a game, when two sights of eyes collide,
Once knocked down, countdown takes a life time,
What message is shared, when two minds speak,
Once spoken, it takes a lifetime to understand.
...

We speak different languages, but we think alike,
We have different cultures, but we behave alike,
We live in different zones, but we feel alike,
We are differently toned, but we are hurt alike,
...

Wearing your beautiful veils of vapor and haze,
Restless, agitate, hyperactive wandering lass,
Hope of reaching the groom, the sun, stagger,
The villain gravity keeps you close to the earth,
...

Banks of rivers and ponds have screw pines,
that has the flower, so fragrant and divine,
the smell invites from the distant, but the cobras guard,
Guards are distracted for the blooms to be extracted.
...

Stellar objects in the sky,
Brighter and visible to naked eyes,
All twinkle and smile with naughty winks,
A few are brighter than other kinds,
...

Abandoned, battered and alone,
A few small mouths and old relations,
She owns nothing, not even her respect,
She has a spring that can be sold,
...

The son of that fine lady,
Has ruined her strong heart,
To palpitate as a fast drum,
To be awake and wonder until dawn,
...

Peeping through the tinted window,
Of the invisible kingdom: watching below,
And around of my every acting shadow,
YOU are really my neighbor in masquerade.
...

The splattering of water,
Wake me up from slumber,
The sun is as lazy as the tenants,
Rises late after seven in the morn,
...

I have no script or a book,
To copy down to the brook,
To run over all those minds,
Squeezing the subtle thoughts,
...
