The Unseen Thread

-

      

     


       No algorithm can trace the line,

      That binds one heart to another's sign.

      No code can capture the gentle hand,

      That offers comfort across the land.


      For in the spaces where feelings bloom,

      And shadows soften in empathy's room,

      A language whispers, a silent art,

      The beating rhythm of a connected heart.


      The logic fails, the circuits cease,

      Before the solace of shared release.

      The warmth exchanged, a knowing glance,

      A fragile spirit's hopeful dance.


      For though machines may learn and grow,

      The wellspring where true kindness flow,

      Resides within the human breast,

      A testament to love's enduring test.


      So let us nurture this precious tie,

      With open hearts beneath the sky.

      For in connection, strong and true,

      A deeper strength resides in you.

Without Your Presence

-
Image
  Without your presence, I am as the moon bereft of night, a silver pilgrim wandering beneath a heaven that has forgotten how to cradle the stars. *** Tell me- is this love, so profound that it has become fear, or have I made your nearness the very breath upon which my soul depends? *** As your lover, I find in you the spring within my winter, the harbour where my restless heart lays down its weary tides. When you are near, even the leaves seem gentler, and the wind carries a tenderness it does not bestow upon the lonely. *** Yet when you depart, my heart becomes a forest at twilight- every rustling branch a question, every wandering breeze a foreboding. I fear the silence after your voice, the emptiness beside me, the long and solemn hours in which your absence becomes almost tangible. *** As your mother, I love you with an ancient tenderness- the tenderness of earth toward the seed, of rain toward the parched meadow, of the dawn that watches faithfully over a sleeping world. *** ...

THE FORBIDDEN WITCH

-
Image
  They taught me how to kneel with grace, To wear a mask and soften tone, To hide the wildness in my face, And call obedience my own. They dressed me in the roles they made, And stitched their laws into my skin, They drew the paths where I obeyed, And locked the doors I was not in. We turn like cogs within a scheme, A mirror shaped by what they knew, Mistaking borrowed rules for dreams, And calling chains a freedom too. I felt their expectations grow, A quiet weight beneath my breath, Yet something fierce began to show, A fire that would not bow to death. Who wrote the rules I must obey? If custom is yesterday's decree, Why must tomorrow kneel today? Who gave the first command to be? Was it a hatred in my heart, Or hunger for a life divine? Was love a cage disguised as art, With golden bars made soft and fine? If I refuse another’s crown, Why should I seek to rule instead? If I reject the master's throne, Why place that throne above my head? I do not seek to rule the land, Nor ...

Beneath the Ancestral Roof

-
Image
  I entered where the ancient corridors Held dust and dusk in equal, solemn keep; The house seemed built of centuries and stone, And every silent chamber seemed asleep. Yet by the hearth, where dying embers glowed, A little figure stood beyond the flame; She bore no terror of the grave or night, But looked upon me quietly, as if by name. Her eyes were deep as wells of vanished years, Her face as pale as moonlight on the floor; I knew not whether she was dream or shade, Nor why my heart had known her long before. I asked no question of her troubled eyes, Nor sought to learn what kept her spirit there; I sat beside the cold and ancient wall, And let the silence breathe its secret air. Then slowly came the tale she could not tell In life, but carried through the years unseen: Of greedy hands that measured blood and land, And weighed a child against a family’s gain. They spoke of lineage, inheritance, and name, Of fields that must remain within the line; And beneath such words, so grav...

The Princess with Starry Eyes

-
Image
  The Princess with Starry Eyes Princess, with eyes where the starlight gleams, What secret light awakens in your dreams? Deep in the quiet chambers of my heart, Your painted image never fades apart. Like moonlight resting on a silent sea, Your distant image keeps returning to me; A beautiful mystery I cannot disguise, A world of wonder hidden in your eyes. Did you stitch the veil that conceals your face, To hide from the world your tender grace? Was it woven from memories of pain, From broken trust and promises made in vain? Then let me weave you a scarf of silken light, From threads of affection, tender and bright; With love for its warp and compassion its thread, To comfort the dreams your wounded heart has shed. Not to hide your beauty from the world outside, Nor claim the heart you have chosen to hide; But simply to shelter, if love ever can, The fragile soul beneath the veil you began. For if your picture can leave me this way, Breathless and lost in its beautiful sway, What ...

Pilleronam – Childhood Joys

-
Image
  Pitter-patter, raindrops fall, On our windows, hear them call! Karkidakam rains are here, But little hearts leap high with cheer. Unniyappams, golden, sweet, Tiny treats for little feet. We’d sneak one here, one there, Laughing loud without a care. A pookkalam, round and bright, Welcomes us with colors light. A flower today, tomorrow two, Till twenty-eight colors greet our view We’d dash through puddles, splash and play, Chasing friends along the way. The swing would creak, the oonjal sway, Up and down, we’d laugh all day. The tailor’s yard seemed far and wide, Yet Onakodi made hearts swell with pride. Stories told by voices dear, Of Maveli’s kingdom, elephants, and cheer By riverside, we’d run and sing, Our Onappattu welcoming spring. For vallam kali practice near, Our little boats would race and steer. Thithithaara, thithi thai,thai thai thaka thom Splashes danced beneath the sky. Cheers and laughter filled the air, As tiny boats went here and there Oh, Pilleronam, soft and sma...

When I Cross the Divide

-
Image
  I stand upon this jagged line, A world of gold and one of mine, My eyes meet yours for just a breath, A silent moment, almost death. I wear my pride like shining armor, Counting victories, feeling stronger, Yet inside, I feel the hollow ache, A shadow that I cannot fake. I see your worn-out shoes, your dreams unspoken, A silent hope, a fragile token, And when I look up to the sky, A pang of envy makes me cry. Deep in my heart, wounds quietly grow, Jealousy, pride-things I don’t show, We’re both carrying scars unseen, Lost in a world that’s torn between. But sometimes I wonder if I could see, Beyond the walls that blind me, To realize we’re not so far apart- Just two lost souls with hopeful heart. And in that moment, I might believe, That you and I are more than deceive, For beneath the surface, I finally see- We’re all the same, you and me. But hearts will change when eyes can see- Not “you and me,” but “we are we.” For every soul is just the same, Before the world invented names...

Melody of Silent Dreams

-
Image
In shadows where the quiet dwells, A whisper hums, a secret spell. Are you the song my soul has sought, Or a dream the silent night forgot? Your voice, like dawn’s first tender light, Unfurls within the arms of night- A timeless tale in every tone, A fragile hope softly known. You bloom like flowers in spring’s air, A melody beyond compare, A goddess drifting through the skies, Bright presence before wondering eyes. Your laughter flows like silver streams, Through valleys deep of silent dreams, Carving paths where echoes sleep, Awakening hopes the heart would keep. When passion’s scent begins to rise, And starlight burns in lovers’ eyes, You pour your music into time- A sacred raga, pure, sublime. Like winds that carry distant sound, You come and go without a bound, A song that lingers, never gone, A heartbeat’s echo, softly drawn. Your touch, like fire in winter’s cold, Warms the soul, both young and old, A gentle flame that softly yearns, In every breath, your spirit burn...

I, the First Sanctuary

-
Image
  I am the quiet fold of a woman’s embrace, the warm curve where the world first opens its eyes. From the foothills of my body, life climbs upward- every birth rising through me like dawn breaking over a mountain. I am the soft garden where lips learn their first language, the river that quenches the earliest thirst, the cradle where innocence curls in sleep, the harbor where trembling souls find their shore. Across me flow lullabies older than memory. In my tenderness hide the unshed tears of mothers who carried more than the world will ever know. I hold stories in my curves- dreams, longings, names whispered through centuries. Who has not traveled across me? Who has not rested in my shelter? In every gaze, every touch, every fleeting hunger, I see the reflection of the human race- a flame of need, a spark of hope, a fire that keeps life breathing. Sometimes I wander the world misread, misunderstood, like a traveler carrying a truth too ancient to explain. Yet I remain what I have...

Rations and Ruins

-
Image
  In metal tins the hunger slept, While war drums beat and soldiers wept. A cracker dry, a sliver thin— A meal was packed in steel and tin. No feast, no fire, just powdered brew, And hope inside a plastic chew. A packet meant to keep the breath One step ahead of certain death. The taste of ash, a metallic tang, A hollow echo where laughter once rang. The whispered prayers, the silent dread— For sustenance meant for the living, not the dead. The field was fed by factory fare, No kitchens warmed the smoky air. Just rations marked with code and date— A soldier’s fate, a soldier’s plate. Beneath the camouflage, a gnawing ache, For home-baked bread, for goodness’ sake. The endless wait for dawn, for night, Fueled by the promise of the next stale bite. Each morsel a reminder of the world they'd left— Of comfort, of love, of lives bereft. The guns fell still. The silence burned. But peace was not what peace had earned. The cities crumbled into dust, And mouths g...

Between Steel and Soil

-
Image
We built a future fluent in progress, yet illiterate in grace, as glass and steel rose proudly to replace the earth’s gentle voice beneath our feet- a quiet truth we chose not to meet. We chased the shimmer of innovation’s light, while forests slipped into endless night. Oceans carried the weight of careless need, each wave a warning, each wound a seed. Cities bloomed where roots were torn away, and profit learned to speak louder than clay. Ambition soared beyond the sky’s embrace, yet never paused to count the cost it pays. We taught machines to reason, to calculate and foresee, but forgot to teach humility- to honor life in all its fragile forms, to cherish stillness amid the storms. Silence, once sacred, now drowns in haste, patience discarded, empathy erased. Greed whispers louder than the plea of rain, and power’s hunger rehearses our pain. Within us rises a quiet war- between what we are and what we’re striving for, between the human and the wild entwined, the fleeting want and t...
