A Young Man Tells His Killing Thoughts Of His Love! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

O’ my heart! Like the water
that springs accordingly
as deep as you dig,

you consider my ever growing
longings which are increased with
digging your thoughts; and sing! - 01

Like the extreme hunger and incurable disease,
She/he lives inside me as remembrances coming on and on! – 02

If you are going to be the medicine for my (love) disease,
Why do you hesitate? Come nearer! Come and embrace! - 03

While hiding the ways to resolve
the penury of not being with you,
your rare appearances as
smaller alms! Carry on! – 04

I have known the birth of a life by the collection of cells; but,
you are infusing the killing thoughts of you into me! How did you? - 05

For the people who die every day thinking of you,
Your figurative image is a very new death! Go! - 06

O’ Damsel who threw the death-rope of Yama! Come
and take my life, put it on your shoulder and embrace! – 07

while I see, you look like killing war armaments,
at least when I close my eyes for ever while I die,
without bashfulness, you desire to embrace me! – 08

You inscribe of you in my heart with your sight,
Even If you tear me with your hands, O’Girl!
If you touch me, it is in my favor! - 09
