Lament Of Love Poem by Ashly Raju

Lament Of Love



Earth rises from
The fear of darkness
To a glowing dawn.
Its each dawn is a tenderly dream.
The earth’s bosom gleams
As of the mother.
Heart,
That ablaze to
Satisfy the thirst
In the vein of the children,
Who fixed their root in you.
Why do you spate thy holy tears?
Why does your living soul withers?
Oh mother,
We are brutal and rude.
Your quintessence is being
Imbibed by us.
You, the earth lament through
The notes of the lakes and rivers,
Din of the drizzle,
Bluster of waft.
Why you are not being heard?
Why you are not being understood?
Even though Mama
You are drawing
Each iota of life of yours
To enrich the honey
In the lips of your progeny.
They never knew your moan
They never see your wriggle
Their eyes never strikes
On your face,
The dark pallid clouds
That reveals your face.
Why Mom
Why didn’t they give you?
Oh altruist,
I wrapped you with question
But not to denature thy life.
Only since I have the pain
That your throb
Is being nagged.

An excellent write Ashly! I certainly wish to see the malayalam version of it, as I was born and brought up in Palakkad. Mother earth do send us message by her rage of fire and her cry of rain. The sad part is her children are not matured enough. Or are they oversmart?

A very good poem Ashley! Nature is being robbed and exploited by her own children! We ungratefully betray her while, like a loving mother she gives us life and sustenance! Your young mind is saddened to see the atrocities done to her!
