Umasree Raghunath Poems

To my dad, with love- Dated 9 Jan 2013

Years pass by, silently into the serenity you left behind
Tears yet shed, for having lost a wonderful dad
...

One synonym I found for a Best Friend
Is You who would be so till my End
When the World closed its doors for me
You opened your heart to me
...

To me as a child, Chennai was a destination in holiday
To revitalise, rejuvenate and recreate a new epic everyday
This city of temples and a destination for dravidian culture
Love to see the beautiful ladies in the nine yard saree
...

Life is an ever lasting song
Love is there to make it prolong

Time flies with no qualms attached
...

As we fly high with moments of pride
And having God as our only perfect Guide
Wishing moments of joy at peak of things
Adoring flying with rapid flaming wings
...

Every parent treats the child like a flower
Feeds them, prunes them and cares for them in galore
As they grow old, and children fly off the nests
Circumstances change and priorities rests
...

Our friends are like angels,
who brighten our days.
In all kinds of wonderful,
Magical ways.
...

The darkness of the night
Rejoicing the signs of twilight
The heart racing with the thoughts
Of the wisdom of the mind’s art
...

Light, the divine Might! Darkness is seen no more
The depths of fear crossed like never before
Unplumbed by the endless gulfs giving up tenancy
Chasing lies of mind, towards thy expectancy
...

Swashbuckling ‘I’ of human mind and pride
Garnishing arrogance of compulsions bid
Exaggerated self proclamation put to use
Nothing but feeble self brilliantly obtuse
...
