Putholi Arumugham

Waves, the words of these untiring seas
Writing an endless poetry in your beauty’s praise.
Stars, the night earth’s replacement for birds
In your blanket to match hues in your soporific eyes
...

When have my men turned cannibals?
Running amuck here and there
Searching fellow men’s flesh for meals.
And killing each other in full roar.
...

Enlightment! enlightment!
every religious book read
I have never understood
what it actually meant
...

Dont think of her again
surely you shall go insane
my mom adviced me
oh mom let it be
...

I do write
thousand lines a day
with so much love
thinking of you.
...

Were you born
ever to be a burden.
Then for your mom,
at her lap.
...

Heat a rod red hot
press it into my eyes so hard.
Then with your lark voice,
you can very well ask
...

How many years
since we met at palani
oh spring rain
...

It comes blundering over the
Boulders at night, it stays
Frightened outside the
Range of my thoughts
...

When that night whispered in my ears
I ignored it as devils usual call to copulate.
My words and yours mingled like
moonlight and breeze in a deserted street.
...

Where in a peak, the icy breeze cuddles
my lonely heart and makes it frozen
...

'Love is a sewage
I have known it from my age'
My father adviced.
I fell at his feet the very moment
...

Ah! then I could spend my life
with that lovely flower
that she would defenitely wear.
Then I could happily die-
...

My friends argued
'Who created world? '
'Nature' cried one
'God' shouted the other
...

Pureness deceives
pebbles in pond
still deeper
...

silent night
why are they speaking
so loudly
mosquitoes
...

Torching sun
driping dropp by drop
urine
...

Botany lab
keeping everyone on heals
cactus
...

Examination hall
a butterfly came in and left
in complete freedom
...

Spring full moon
where have all the
crowing cocks gone
...
