Oru Maalai..Nila..
First of all... Belated Merry Xmas 2 all of u..couldnt post any during the weekend since I was away in Coimbatore. Coimbatore is the place where I grew up n all my frnz r there. Met as many frnz as possible n had a gr8 time during the stay there n got bak 2 calicut yesterday.
One of my friends told me that the blog is kool(felt elated!) but the background pic is too bright and affects readability. Asked some of the regular readers of this blog and they too felt the same. So decided to tinker with it n hence the new look.Hoz it??
Had written my first poem a month ago. Used to hate poems in school since prose was so easy to read. Y do people take pains to write about things so cryptically??Was never able to understand it. So I surprised myself when I sat on my computer n typed in this poem. N the mother of all coincidences is tat the poem is about the moon and the new look is also about moon!!!!
Every day I wish
that I wake before the sun
But I sleep after it rises
Instead of the orange splendour
I grizzle in the fierce yellow
Why?
I love the moon and
Her fake illuminance
I share her grief all night
For she carries
the weight of elses glory
And cannot hold a place of her
own under the sun.
But once in a fortnight
She basks in glory
The glory is stygian
All are stupified and
grope in search of shadows.
This goes on till
the moon rejoices.
Let her rejoice
on the sole day
She is promethean.
Why?
Because its ephemeral.
And again I sleep
after the sun rises.
