Radhika Sivalingam Poems

What gives you the right?
I fell at the first sight
Unable to reveal to the light
That I lost my might
...

When I embraced love, I lost my identity
When I cared the most, I hurt myself
When I was helpful, I was precious
When I was rebellious, I was worthless
...

Amidst adversity was the arrival
A pale and delicate offspring
Light, thin and thirsty to survive
The cry slit the throat of sky
...

At the beach after office hours
Alone on the silent sandy shores
Gazing the free flowing waves
Getting lost in my tiny thoughts
...
