Not for the heartless …..er…. artless

Pristine love – Does take a lot of heart

” Everything Said; Nothing spoken”

Of naked bodies and naked thoughts ,what else is now left within us? and what else is left without us?

சங்க தமிழ் சைவ கவிதை

This is a poem that i submitted for a poem contest about Mylapore, its temple, its culture.

I chose to write about Mylapore temple.Here goes the poem

வலம் வந்தேன் வளம் தேடி

கேளா வரம் தந்தாய் ,நின் புகழ் பாடுதலே

I came around your shrine for everyone’s well being and

you gave a boon that was never asked,singing your praise

கடல் சுவாசம் செய்ய வாசம் செய்தோனே

நின் கட்டிட நாசம் செய்தும் ஆசனம் அழியாநேன்

You settled in this place to breathe the refreshing beach air

Even after your temple was demolished,thy conquest remained intact

எம் மயிலையில் எம்மை சிலிர்க்க வைக்கவே

பிரம்மனவர் சிரம் கிள்ளி சினம் தனித்ததுவோ

Is it to give us a hair-raising experience in mylapore by your presence, 

that you plucked Brahmma’s head and satiated your so-called anger??.

அப்பா கபாலீசா, நடத்திய நாடகம் நிகழத்தியன யாவும்

புகட்டிய பாடம் புகுத்திய பண்டாரங்கள் போல பின்காணவே

O Lord Kapaleesha, the stage play you enacted(refers to establishing himself in Mylapore) and every other act of yours shall be realised later ,just like the lessons you taught us and the way you brought 63 Nayanmars into the temple.

(According to the author’s imagination here,the Lord brought the 63 Nayanmars to stay alongside with him in the temple to later celebrate the arubatthimoovar festival held every year)

நஞ்சுண்டனே ,நெஞ்சம் உன்னிடம் தன்னே

தஞ்சமடைந்தேனே, பணிந்து நின் பாதம் பற்றிடவே

O drinker of poison,my heart stays with you all the time

I seek refuge in you,prostrating myself at your feet

Poem 2:

This poem is a draft that i wrote initially for the contest,but later submitted the above poem for contest entry

சிவனே நெஞ்சாக, தீ யவனும் அண்டேல்

நெஞ்சே சிவனாக ,நீ யவனுக்கும் அஞ்சேல்

அறியாமை அறிந்தும், அருமை பல செய்திட்டாய்

சிவகாமி அம்மை சகிதம், யம்மை சோதிட்டாய்

சோதியே வழியான நீ……..அப்பா……யம் மனச்சேதி கேளாயோ

பிறந்த மொழி அறியா,பிற மொழி அறிந்தேன்

பறந்து வந்த நீரே, ஆசான் என புரிந்தேன்

புறியா அற்புதம் புரிந்தாய் அய்யனே

பாடம் கற்பித்து தமிழ் சொரிந்தாய் , ஈசனே

கல்லும் கனியுமாம் நின் சொல்லின் ஒலியில்

நல்லிணக்கமும் பிறக்குமாம் உன் கண்மலர் ஒளியில்

அறிவான் அகமுடையான் அழிவான் அறிவிழந்தான்

சரிவான் சூதுநிரைந்தான் வீழ்வாநேன் எவன் வக்கிரமுடயோன் 

வல்லான்  அவனே சுக-துக்கங்களை பராபரனிடம்  அற்பநிப்பவன்

Poem

மின்னல் பூச்சியின் கண்ணாம்பூச்சி ஆட்டம்

உன் இமைகள் முட்டின்கொண்டு பிரியும்பொழுது

நிலவுக்கும் வருமே தீராத வாட்டம்

நீ தலை சாய்த்து,கண் சிம்மிட்டி,  சிரிக்கும் பொழுது

கதிரவனின்  நிறத்தை அள்ளி எடுத்து

மேகத்திற்கு பூசினானா பிரம்மன் ?

மஞ்சள் நிற வான்மேகம்

புவியில் வலம் வருகிறது

(மஞ்சள் சுடிதாரில் நான் கண்ட பாவை)

Tamil poem

செய்தாய் நீ செய்வினை,அதனால் ஆசைகளோ அத்தனை

இதோ வருகிறது ஆசைகளின் வரிசை,

ஏற்றுகொள் இந்த அன்பு பரிசை

நுதல்கள் முட்ட நம் நுனி மூக்கு பேசிக்கொள்ள,

கையில் அணைத்தபடியே உனது விழியில் மூழ்கிவிட ….

சாய்ந்து நிற்கிறேன் நான் , ஒரு கையில் மரக்கிளையை தொற்றிக்கொண்டு,,

கள்ளம்மில்லா புன்னைகையுடன் நீ, என்னை இருக்க பற்றிக்கொண்டு….

மரமோ மலை உச்சியில்…,

ஒரு பக்கம் பாதாளம்,இன்னொரு  பக்கம் என் செல்ல வேதாளம் 🙂 …

வேதாளமே இக்கணமே உயிர் போகயேல் உன்னை தழுவிக்கொண்டு இருக்கையிலே

உன்னை தழுவிக்கொண்டே….

Match naDedAga current ittA? – ittallA! nAvu nODidvu. India geddubiTtu!

5. (Can’t think of a sentence.) irundAn_
idda

6. irundAL
iddaLu

7. on_ga school-la flag-hoisting irukkumA? – irukkumE! / irukkAdu.

The way it is spoken in kannaDa is entirely different..

Instead of asking கி்ளாசில என்னா தூங்கிண்டா இருந்தாய் is generally asked in kannaDa as க்ளாசில தூங்கிண்டு இருந்தெயா, different from the tamil way.

There is a classic difference here…
11. nALaikkum ingadAn_E iruppa? – AmA. ingayE dAn_ iruppEn_.
nALEnU illE irtIya? – haudu, illE irtIni… Same rule as above applies.

Please learn to use baraha and the kannaDa script too. It would make it easier to learn.
