I Have Somewhere to Go- poem

------------


Mother asked me  

To buy vegetables  

On my way back.


But I have somewhere to go—  

I must meet my beloved.


Father asked me  

To look for a job.


But I must go  

Looking for her.


My younger sister asked me  

To buy her a book.


But I must go  

And study my lessons.


My little brother asked me  

To bring him peanut candy.


But I must go  

And taste the sweets of love.


Everyone keeps asking me  

To buy this and that.


But there is something  

I must go and get—


Something  

I have been longing for.

The Heart in Love- poem 

---------


Are you  

Breathing too often?


Are waves  

Rushing through you  

One after another?


Is your body  

Rising and falling  

Like a restless tide?


Is sweat  

Seeping through  

Your skin?


Are your eyes  

Closing softly  

Like cotton-stuffed lids?


Is fear, too,  

Welling up  

Within you?


Can you feel  

The heat  

Of your blood?


Does everything  

Feel somehow  

Strange?


When it comes  

In the bloom of youth—


The sickness  

Is love.


When it comes  

In the autumn of age—


The sickness  

Is the heart.

THE TROUBLE OF YOUTH — poem

 THE TROUBLE OF YOUTH— poem

------------------

(thanks to ChatGPT for helping me to translate my original Tamil Poem into English  )


THE TROUBLE OF YOUTH

---------


Waiting, waiting—

eyes grow heavy,

watching, watching—

they burst into rapture.


Gathering, gathering—

lips tremble with longing,

blossoming, blossoming—

a smile unfolds.


Noon, evening,

then the following morning—

the theft takes root

and spreads through the heart.


Where can it end?

Ah, the trouble of youth!


Yet that very trouble

is love’s fragrant jasmine—


the moment

two hearts

feel as one,


a garden of love

where no deceit

ever enters.
