Mountains and Valleys, we have crossed with stones and floods, in between So why are you scared now, I ask when we are so close, so close to preen Trees stand tall with branches spread wide can we learn from it? and move ahead all pied Fire burns with flame but protects in cold with its heat and friction it can let the story unfold Unfreeze your mind and take one step ahead and thorns on the way by me, they will be lead Come closer, and look what you haven't seen oceans of love and care always near, have they been Ripples and sizzles will always be in the plate now, dont you turn your back calling it as simple fate Why can't you see, as it is crystal clear my love for you honey forever, has been real Our eyes don't meet as silence has conquered the room Do you relaise that? or you just love this doom Moments become still when we pass by thoughts in mind but ego's fly high You call my name as if I am stranger It pricks when I hear that as I sense danger What has happened to us did you ever think? or you are happy even with this broken link I begged and plead and cried but you don't want to listen dont you love me anymore? or you think, I am of opposite mission I am trying to protect the relation that has come so far but you think I am a deamon who spoils it with the tar why do you close your eyes when it comes to me but for all the intruders the poison they pour, you don't see For I am the one who longs for you day and night till the end of life will stand tall in hand with light So what is, that you can't see the tears, the emotions or me not being me Don't let it stretch as I too, can loose my cool for if that happens then my love, it will only be you... near you!
PrettyDee You pour emotions through those verses so well...OMG...How do you do it??? I've tried somthing too.... I am like a dove With fragile wings If i fly high in love Then doom is all it brings. But now i see a a thin string that connects me and you Lets divide it into two On this string you walk towards me And i'll walk towards you And lets meet each other half way through. Let this string never break This time i wont be able to bear that ache I know that Love can only hurt me back So i always ran away from it on this heart's worn and beaten track But for you my luv once again i'll walk on this string Now I am ready to face my fate for whatever it brings
I have laughed with you For you i've smiled I fight with you For you i've fought ------------------------ That was a simple and direct one Dinny. Conveys a lot more than intended. At that point it can either be friendship or love. The last para confirms it. Cute one. -rgs
Perhaps its time for me to share Those 8 magnificent lines of verse In Devaram, a divine work that goes far Than anyone ever would, first and last. It is in tamil and I fear my Translation may not bring out The essence of it, that really lies Deeper and I may be long worn out. It was about the transformation Of a girl thats so dramatic to read. It doesn't need any more explanation But says it all in that short read! ---------------------------------------- She heard just of his name at first. Then, about his looks in awe. Later she asked where he lived, fast. Soon she was mad of his persona. Shunned her mom and everything as well, Gave up all culture, taught or owned. Lost herself and her name. Only willed Nothing other than his feet, so stern! ---------------------------------------- There is a deeper meaning here. The first one is direct, a lover's longing and the changes that she undergoes after hearing of him; yet not being with him, though she longed only that. The second is divine - Its about a devotee's plea to Lord Siva, to be merged with him always. This type of poetry is classified as esoteric poetry. To my knowledge, nothing comes closer to this, when we talk about longing and transformation. It was written by Thirunavukkarasar [one of the 63 supreme devotees (nayanmars) to Him]. And Kalki has used this song to depict an everlasting Sivakami [the female lead character] in the climax of his novel, Sivakamiyin Sabadham [The Vow of Sivakami]. You can read a better translation and more information in this link: Esoteric Poetry | My Ana's Worth Thanks so much to the writer [I know not her name; read about her in her 'About' section]. I hope I tried to convey my best about this. Yet, I know that I failed miserably. -rgs
Thanks Rgs.... Those verses were beautiful and i did go through that link. Devotion and love are two words which have many layers to them.Some understand it and some dont. It takes a great mind like yours to translate those lines so beautifully. You've really blessed this thread.
Thanks Dinny, for your appreciation. 'Blessed' is too big a word for me. I just shared what I liked the most. There aren't many that I have, you see! Yet its enough to get immersed and lost! -rgs
Nobody can write the way you do There's only one god of poetry in IL And that you Thats the reason i said this thread Is now blessed
