மாயோனே

 மாயோனே என் மாயோனே

மாயோனே நான் ரசிக்கும் மாயோனே 

என்னைக் காக்க மறுக்கும் மனமும் உனக்கு உண்டோ?

என்னை ஆளும் மாயாவியே!

மாயோனே என் மாயோனே 

உன்னை காண கோடி கண்கள் வேண்டாமோ?

மாயோனே - என்னை காக்கும் மாயவா 

உன்னை துதிக்காத தருணம் வேண்ட - வரம் 

அருள்வாயோ கருநீல அழகா!!எனை ஆளும் மாயாவியே!

 

மாயோனே என் மாயோனே 

வைரம் சுழலும் சக்ரதாரி -

ஒரு க்ஷணம் போறாதோ மாயவா ?

என்னை சுழலும் மாயச் சக்கரம் உடைக்க,

உன் திருவடி விட்டு நான் நகராமல் வைராக்கியம் கொள்ள?

ஒரு வரம் அருள்வாயோ? எனை ஆளும் மாயாவியே!

மாயோனே என் மாயோனே 

அபய ஹஸ்தம் கொண்டு காப்பீரே,

உன் மாய வலையில் மீண்டு - நான் 

உன்னை காண வரும் தருணம் 

இவன் பால் இரக்கம் கொண்டு- திருமால் அடி சேர 

வரத ஹஸ்தமும் அருள்வீரே,எனை ஆளும் மாயாவியே!

மாயோனே என் மாயோனே 

என்னை காக்கும் மாயோனே 

நான் துதிக்கும் மாயோனே 

என்னை துதிக்க வைக்கும் மாயோனே 

உன் புன்முறுவல்  ஒன்று போதாதோ?

இந்த மாயையில் சிக்கி தவிக்க 

கோடி ஜென்மம் எடுப்பேன் 

மீண்டும் மீண்டும் உன் புன்முறுவலை ரசிக்க,

எனை ஆளும் மாயாவியே!

மாயோனே என் மாயோனே....

Life's like that

We cry and whine but give a damn,
We laugh and smile but are never happy,
We shout and yell but know not what to talk
After all life's like that...

Full of ifs and buts in the past and future -
Never in the present nor about the present,
And when it dawns it is already too late

For memoirs of past locks us up in a gate

With worrying lines of fate

Enacting the far and near future.

After all life's like that...

Time flies by and thoughts sails by
Neither waits nor rests,
Thoughts at the right time and
Times with the right thoughts
Are a rarity to encounter,
For we have no time to rest
And dont rest enough on time
And when its time to rest finally
We still wish we had more time.
With thoughts of good and bad
Flashing in a jiffy
With thoughts of near and dear
Full of iffy.
After all life's like that...

Look not at the future nor at the past,
For there is no greater gift than present
That life can bestow upon you
With loads of time and thoughts to mince
Let it set you on a note of joy
A bond of love and a time of bliss.
Fret not of what you not have
Fret not of what you might not have
For you already have everything
All the time to smile and thoughts always to love

After all life's like that...

Love...can you?

Between life and death
For a mortal soul
The longings are many
Sometimes even for death.

Departures are always sudden
And arrivals mostly on time.
Wretched soul never knows
It always happens....

Not of love, Not of hate
Not of joy, Not of melancholy
It always happens and
Always for a reason.

None can reason
How good it is- For
None can envision
How bad otherwise - Oh!!
The heart aches and
The soul cries - For,
The happenings never met
The happenings in its dreams.

With the million words
And the million hymns,
Prayers are in plenty
For a better life and
For a peaceful death,
With love in plenty
Through the passage.

The heart never lives
Where love is abundant and
The soul always craves
Where it is ignored.
For the life sails
In search of the mythical love,
And when it is time
The abundance is too heavy to float.

In search of love we live
In regret that we missed we die!!!
Oh isn't that all we do?
Too poor to stop death
Too arrogant to love back.
Ohh!! Poor mortal soul,
Love before its too late.

For love is wonderful
You give or take
You always gain in love,
You slap and kiss
You always gain in life.

Between life and death
For a mortal soul
The longings will be none
Sometimes even in death
If the heart is loved
And the soul loves back.

Still..

She asked me
Why am I sitting still?
For I wanted to leave...
I decided to leave, But then
I did not have a company.
I passed,  But then
I did not know where to go.
I passed,  But then
I did not have money to spend.
I passed,  But then
I did not have time to invest.
I passed, But then
She came around asking me
Why am i sitting still?
I wonder if time has paused!!
Hell no!! My life just paused!!

Changes....

Life is a dance
With Moments of romance - And
With Moments of penance
With thoughts that are dense
And tears that condense
Leaving you in a trance

At every step a story,
With every glance an emotion,
Of life that changes -
Of time that branches
In pain and vain,
Insane and slain,
Yet sway and  spin
For life is to win.

After all life is once
With memories in tonnes
Which never changes once
For a life -  that changes in tonnes.

Of Love & Hate

Of love and hate, Life takes many gates.
Some open to amazement, Some open to bewilderment.
Some open to a lonely lane, Some open to a beautiful trail.
Some open for nothing, While some fail to open for anything.

For me

A wonderful stroll
On a beautiful evening
Brought back scenes
With a brilliant sheen
Lighting the memory lane.

As images flashed by -
Of the many promised,
Of the much boasted,
Companies that never existed -
And why I  trusted?
My conscience  wondered -As
My legs wandered.

Putting that behind ,
For it no longer pained,
For I have gained,
A heart to love
A soul to die
A trust to smile
For time eternal
For me and me only.

Word for all occassion - amma

Of the times that i spent
The best of them were spent
In your lap and In your arms.
Never there was a time
When you had no time,
Never there was a moment
When you were absent,
To look after me,
To bare with my tantrums,
To enjoy my mischeif and
To spend time for me -
Even in my absence.

Life had taught me
Lot of complexities.
Life had enlightened me
With lot of adventures.
But with all those
Little wordly wisdom,
I still fail to understand
How you sport
A beautiful smile
on your calm face -

How much ever
I embaress you,
I hurt you,
I fight with you - Yet
You continue to love
Me all the more -
Each morning as i wake up And
Each night as i wish you a happy sleep.

Travelling far and wide
The tender heart of mine,
Thought nothing but you,
Trying to understand
The beautiful bond,
The wonderful love,
That we share -
Through the rough and smooth
Thoroughly enjoying the ride.

No one can replace you
No replication can equal you.
You are one and
You are my beautiful mom.
Will I ever be able to repay you?
No i dont want to.....

I just want to be indebted to you
Not for today, not for tomorrow
But for all the births that
I take - As your gorgeous child
And you - As my lovely mother.
Love you amma.

If not for you,
I would not have realized
The beauty of love,
The presence of god - And
The importance of life.

I cry, i smile, i laugh
I wonder, i think, i shiver -
Its you who cofort me at all times.
Aint you a beautiful person for all times?
Aint calling you the first thing I do at all times?
Amma, the trust you gave me
I have given no one nor
Has anyone given me.
Love you ma
For all that you do for me.

Engage...

Finally the time has come,
Finally the day has arrived,
To let the world know
Of our love story,
To let the world know
Of our future plans.

It seemed far away,
Yet we are here today.
It seemed like a dream,
Yet we feast today with a gleam.
Life has strange ways -
To make us happy,
To make us nervous,
To make us smile,
To make us laugh,
But above all -
To realize our dreams.

I am still spellbound - And
My thoughts astound,
To believe the happenings,
Right in front of my eyes.
Soon the world will know,
That i will tie the knot soon
And together we will croon
For time eternal....
But for today -
We will be engaged officially
And from today -
Our time is engaged forever.

For we are one

I know not how,
I know not why,
Time just flies by,
When you stop by -
My thoughts.

I cannot ask you to leave,
I will not ask you to leave,
For I want you to stay - And
I want you to sing,
I want you to dance,
I want you to smile,
I want you to laugh,
I want you to be happy -

In my thoughts,
With my thoughts,
With my life -
For our life is one,
For our life is unique.

Not because we love,
Not because we argue,
Not because we chide,
Not because we fight,

But because we fight
For our love, For our life,
For our world and
Oh dear, for us alone...
For we are one,
Love you loads.

The Silent Raga

Sitting next to each other,
Enjoying the mild weather,
We travelled farther.
Those occasional glances,
Those accidental touches,
Those lovely words,
Still steal my eyes,
Still make me nervous,
Still enchant my ears.
Setting the right tempo,
Setting the right rythm,
Singing a silent raga -
Smiles  my life,
In harmony,In peace
And in love.

Love you loads....

Words might not sooth you,
Time might not heal you.
If roads has to be measured
By little bumps that surfaced,
No road is great - And
No travel is a feat.

Life will move on,
Time will move on,
Its the choices we make,
Will fill the memoirs of our trail.
Its the options we choose,
Will bill the minutes of our sail.

No matter what we choose,
One thing will remain the same,
You are mine and I am yours,
Life will take us through
Fens and hills - And
storms and thunder.

I will love you more
With each adventure.
I will love you more
With each twist and turn.
I will love you all the more
For time eternal.
Love you loads.

I love you

Love u loads,
Love u tonnes,
Loads and tonnes,
Still unable to estimate,
My love for you will be
Words and tones -

That will make you go crazy
That will make you fall for me,
That will make me climb mountains
That will make me cross oceans -

Just to put a smile on your face,
Just to put a glow on our life,
Just to leave memoirs to rejoice,
Just to hold each other even after life.

Love in other words,
Will always be you,
Will always be us.
I Love You.

She is...

Some moment to happen
Waiting for it to happen
So I can let my heart to hop
And I can let my dreams to fly.
There is no stopping me later
For the world knows
I have love with me,
For the world knows
I have peace to charm me,
For the world knows i am
But engaged to a beautiful soul.

A soul to
Enchant me,  Kindle me,
Enlighten me, Amuse me,
Embrace me, Tickle me,
Love me and above all -
A heart to cherish,
A mind to envy,
A relation to be proud about.

I will love her,
She will love me,
Together we will -
Make a perfect pair,
For history will remember us
As made for each other.
Carve a beautiful life,
That will make life proud.
Leave a beautiful trial,
For generations to be amazed.

For life is once and I know
It is she who is  my life
It is she who makes my destiny
It is she who completes me - And
I will love her, for she is love - And
She is one with me.

YOU, of course!!!

There is my queen
Sitting beautifully and
Smiling elegantly.
I know not, how i lost my heart
I know not, where i lost my heart.
Before i could realize
Cupid had pierced it,
Before i could feel it
She had signed it.
As i gazed at it, It eloped from me,
As i ran after it, It galloped me,
To her....

So my lady,
That’s the story in short
And here i come,
Puffing and panting,
Running after my heart,
Running after my destiny,
To claim what is rightfully mine -
Your smile and your tears,
Your laughter and your miseries,
Your love and your pain,
Your world and yes my sweetheart,
YOU of course!!!!
-Sramven

A lovely lane

It was a lonely lane
As my mind wandered insane.
With every step I rushed - And
With every step I blushed.
The heart thumped loud - And
My eyes remained unmoved.

There she stood!!
Separated by few miles,
Sporting a wonderful smile and
Glowing in a remarkable style,
Making my trail, worthwhile.

She might like me,
She might hate me,
She might adore me,
She might loathe me,
I will bare them all,
For she is the One
Who made my lonely lane,
A lovely lane.

For my daily bread.....

Wine and Dine
Became habits of mine
For work was not hectic
And my story is an epic.
Distinct as it sounds
My love for Dogs knows no bounds
So, for my daily bread
Dogs were what i bred.

Some with fluffy fur,
Some with happy eyes,
Some with long ears,
Some with strong legs.
They come in all sizes,
They come in all colors.
They love to bark - And
They love to lick.
When i try and desert them
Happiness seem to desert them.
So, For my daily bread,
Dogs were what i bred.

Of the pack of many
At the back was a puppy,
She looked all sloppy - And
Her fur looked all brownie.
I named her candy - For
I loved wine and candies.
Each time i cuddled candy
I was no longer moody,
Candy and others made my days
As smile and joys adored my face.
So, For my daily bread,
Dogs were what i bred.

As time sailed by
Our time, grew high.
I loved her antics
When we played thief,
People loved our tactics
When we nabbed thieves.
For me, dogs were my kin
And they stuck with me
Through thick and thin.
So, For my daily bread,
Dogs were what i bred.

Along came a kid
Who made a bid,
Not of money
But of love.
He made a plea - And
I was unable to flee,
For he asked for candy
And promised to be handy,
To take care of the pack
When i do my eternal nap.
I had to agree - They needed 

Someone after me.
So, For my daily bread,
Dogs were what i bred.

Soon candy left - And
Barrels of Brandy rose.
No longer i knew love- And
My care for the kin, dove.
To give away candy - As
I bargained for more shandy,
It was a mistake - Which
Was realized too late.
As each day blurred
Each dog resembled her.
I could not leave them out
Since I knew nothing else inside-out.
So, For my daily bread,
Dogs were what i bred.

The boy was kind
To take the reins
As he realized
I no longer had brains.
With no sense of time - And
With no sense of mine,
I sit here and gape
Awaiting my eternal nap.
Wine and dine
Became habits of mine.
Oh! And I still remember,
For my daily bred
Dogs were what i bred.

Life will never be the same....

As I do a trace
To assess our base
It was at a phase
We joined a race,
We both had a maze
We had to do a chase.
It was at this place
Our lives started to lace
But, with a poetic grace.
   

It rained like never before...

Towards the twilight
Not of orange and red
But of black and grey
Adoring the vast horizon
floated the puffy clouds. 

For I just wish....

Night after night,
I search for light,
To see a path by sight.

Not worthy a fight - for
My heart lost its might
brooding over my plight.
For I just wish....
