O' My Illusive Magic Girl! Are You The Empress Of The Land Of Wonders? Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

In the dusky time while the sun hides into the distant clouds,
..Your thoughts play with me by heart recline rejoicing moods!
Even the ‘Love chapter' of ThirukkuRaL can't explain the equations
..of the torrential flow of pleasure arising during such occasions!

As I was busy with field work, even if I dissolve you
..from my thoughts as crop medicine in the sprayer anew,
You come out in my sweat as saltiness,
..You are testing and teasing my distress.

After imprisoning the stars of my thought with your magnetic look,
..you alone make a procession as a dumb and silent moon walk
as if you don't know anything!
..I am roaming here by losing my binds of control!

While I thought of pondering about the next day's work
..by looking at the sky during midnight,
you appear as moon; make fun of me and laugh
..And ask me, ‘Do you struggle in loneliness? '

While I ran and searched you all the way from morning
..till evening, you had not been obtained; But you,
in the twilights only, when my eyes are tired and sleeping,
..enter unexpectedly into me and bothers with thoughts of you!

Are you an illusive girl hiding in the day time
..and showing magic in the night
Or the Empress of the land of wonders?
..I can't understand even to a little bit..!

May be due to this,
..Every night - I am supposed to be speaking
to you in person by seeing your face,
- is like sleepless dark nights thinking about you!
