Winter Nights, Kalai Selvi Arivalagan [books you need to read txt] 📗

Winter is a season that let the seeds sleep for a while and come back with full energy in the spring. Winter nights can stir the love feelings in front of a fire place or in the chilly lawns bloomed with flowers of winter season. I can feel the rich gift of nature in winter season only. So these poems are.

Winter Nights

The smell of the cigars
reminds me those secrets -
which shared the winter dawn with us.
Lighting a match, you would peep,
"Hai, show your blushing face"
"How dare ! you naughty boy"
Snatching away the match box
I warn, "Wait, wait, the next time"
With a chuckle, he will kiss, and
lit the flames of the candles.
"You look angelic my dear"-
"But I'm not in the mood to hear"
Protesting makes nothing with him:
He would gaily add: "But I'm"
Tightening his grip around me, he whispers
"Be a better-half, not a bitter-half"
"Bitter or better, I'll melt like butter"
"Butter" confused he will gaze at me.
"Hm" my nerves ache to brace -
as if a surrender, I hide my face
"Battering my feelings you play a game of love"
"Ya ! Where's the place for butter"
"Love's language seems strange"
Sealing my lips, he puts off the flames.

Winter Love Songs

Sing to me those songs of Love
and unveil my heart's love for you.
Should we be silent so far to express
My Love for you and your Love for me
Dreams have united our winter nights -
Eyes have united our cold days -
Still what's there to unite our hearts?
Pricking like a thorn, Love pains me -
Will it be like to you also?
Beliefs made me to exchange it -
Yet, what disbeliefs crosses our boundaries
The boundaries of Love hasn't been yet found
Though it's inside one's own heart
Come out from those boundaries
To swim in the ocean of Love With you near,
I will sing those songs of Love
and unveil your heart's Lover for me.

Winter Love

Panting for breath, we close our eyes.
"Arrived" your lips seal the affair
"Uh" toneless-
Love's tone comes alive
Lingering it in a warm embrace
"Am I to play the role now?" -
Numbering the seconds the cupid rushes.
To seize the moment eyes flitter
Owing our heart in the game of Love
Numerous are my thoughts to share -
Yawning they continue their pace
For it may prove in the near future
Buried in your mighty chest
slowly my head lose its sense.
When passions sign the trial
Where is the place for our thoughts?
Losting ourselves to each other
we surrender to the treaty of Love.

Thoughts on a winter night

Frightening stillness of a late winter night
broke those chains of loneliness,
bringing peace to the disturbed sleep.
While twinkling stars shine bright
To share its secret with one and all
someone broke those chains of loneliness.
Perspired with surprise I woke off;
Searching, my eyes could find none -
Those dreams are forgotten
in the dissolving darkness
For my mind could feel the presence –
Those so near and dear to me
Who art thou? My dear intruder!
Share .... That's the word whispered in the air
Either my feelings or my thoughts
Neither my dreams either my "self"
"What you mean by "self" -
"No, No" I shout into the lonely night
"Aai, fool, it's not your charming flesh!"
Dumb are my words and feelings-
Dear and near I will be -
For I will guide and ride with thee"
with a chuckle he brought the light
A light from enlightened lamps
Sweeping myself into happy dreams
I could feel the coming dawn.
"Oh! Dear intruder let me be awake,
For I know you could break those chains of loneliness"
stretching himself into the streaks of light
He blessed everything with the bliss of "Love".

Love is in the Winter Air

Tripping across wide blue sky
Elited the birds fly.
Winter tunes subtle with vigor
Surround their beaks with love.
Ascending rays of morning sun
Reach flowery buds to unfurl.
Anointed arrows from a cupid’s bow
Nestle young hearts to dream.
Innumerous are the seconds
To set the dreams on move.
Excited buzzing bees go astray
Searching brim nectar drops.
Seasoned knit garland of a winter wedlock
Arrives to set the bridal bower.

Winter Music!

I just imagine now
How it would be to slowly fade away
in your mighty arms -
as the dim dusk turn into pitch dark!
Slowly raising streaks from a star
reflects the hidden treasure of your love!
Buds of jasmine spread the perfume
engulfing my soul to dream!
Long away in distance –
I could hear the fading music -
Slowly dissolving into nothing
I drift into a feeling of dumbness
It is you, who could make things wonderful
and see me stand amidst smiles and cheers!
But, if that could not be -
whatever might be in this world -
Is nothing to me

Unfurling Winter Flowers!

Curious eyes sneak through the darkness
and watch anxiously “the unfurling flowers”
Slowly the petals unfurl one by one
letting out the fragrance
announcing the “blooming hour”
How it would be if I could hear
the sound of an unfurling petal!
My ears are dumb to this heavenly tune!
Hurrying ants stop for a while
puzzled by the sound the flowers make!
Morning sun rays wake up the bees
and help them flap the wings with ease.
Buzzing, the bees lift the pollen
to the bower of the farthest flower!
If I happen to be born again -
I wish I am born as a flower
I will unfurl my petals with music
and let the world know “I am in full bloom”

Missing on a Winter Night

Rhythmically my legs pedal
setting the wheels roll ....
My eyes reach the far wide sky
searching the horizon “FOR YOU”!
Moments engulfed in recollection
thinks only about “YOU”!
Deeply painted western sky
dissolves into a stretch of darkness – and
brings out a bunch of twinkling stars!
Rising moon in the eastern horizon
winks and spreads the cool rays
making me yearn for “YOU”!
Seconds dissolve into lengthy loneliness
set my heart search for my soul mate!
Devoid of your presence
Days have lost the essence of life!
It's the DAY – when you are here
everything will be in a choir!
My days are graceful!
Gracious days are mine now
As your voice rings the bell
Nurturing moments get into
Aiming the joyous laughter of two
Peeping rays of moon lit winter night
Amidst blooming flowers of jasmine
Tickle my moments with fun
Hours spent in silent gaze
It makes the days fresh with grace

Winter Love Season

Cold nights of the winter season
makes me shiver and curl up inside.
Dark seems to soothe me
- my body, my mind, everything
I keep myself warm near the fire
varied thoughts lapses my mind
Is it suitable to have
A passionate lover by my side
on a cold night like this!
No, No. it's absurd to think so!
Emotions vanish away like clouds
which always change its shape.
chilled winds of the west pricks me
I am shifted to-wards another thought
A real companion near my seat
shall be suitable to discuss something!
cheer up my heart! for a while!
still my thoughts wander far away
In the dim light of a melting candle
it's really wonderful to meditate
Meditate in the name of God.
I feel to be inside a maze
I know the way to go out
still I can't come out.
Peeping rays of moon and stars
chuckles louder at my puzzled mind.
Now I realize - Meditation
peace rules over me by sound sleep
My mind shuts away the puzzles
Now, nothing can enter my heart
for I have become one, beyond everything
A daring lover or a silent companion
or the real beauty of nature
none of this may make me rest
To enjoy a place of mind - That's eternal
serene calmness seem to enclose
around me, around the whole world,
Believing dawn to be near
I lay down saying my prayers.

Silver Lined Winter Clouds

Varied shapes of evening clouds
Move far along with the wind.
Among them stood a cloud
A Silver Lined Cloud!
Streaks of silver lines shone bright
and reminded me of your might!
Breathing alone a wave of fresh breeze
My eyes wander away to catch the bliss!
Silently they dissolve in the air
and tells me still times are not fair!
Perfumed petals announce far and near
Once my hands tug into yours
The days are always full of cheers!

Winter Mid-night breeze!

Sipping my tea,
I look into the star lit sky!
Swishing loneliness far and wide,
Comes in the mid-night breeze!
Artful fingers tighten around the cup
and yearns for your warm grip!
Drizzling
