JAFFNA MY JAFFNA
===============

All I could see from where I am now,
Jaffna my birth place,
Core of my heart.
So I took my thoughts six decades back,
And saw the beauty of my beloved land.
Dear Jaffna ,It is beyond words
Your  natural beauty,
Paddy fields in the villages,
Peasants’ beautiful huts,
Surrounded...

Lines more lunatic than the sun – 7

playing on the raw-coal 
the under-clothes of the airhostesses 
continue to sing a song

even-then the germination of the almonds 
can never become the sugar-candy 
made of palmyra 

may be they don’t want so 

until and unless any night-guard...

Islam Burning


In deep purple flame
Stapled to the cross
While the peasants yell below
Demon demon demon
Black flags rise
Hearts fail to beat
Humanity has lost this score
The axe swings in the air
Freedom at last
From Islam’s beasts
My head tumbles into the dust
I am now an icon of the history I...

Beating the midday forlorn sun
By foot they begun the journey leaving the pun
Beware of the dangers and tactics to shun  
Between that time and reaching the destination without fun
Beholding the situation, carrying the bun
Before Palmyra falls, it must be done. 

Holding hands the long...

Who would milk the Tigress
				
                				    wears no armour    gasmask
				pail within squat thighs
					nor bloodless forefinger and thumb

Cows wear forlorn looks 
	distressed mien

still the climbing green lianoid lass


her tender tendrils torn  


massive metal lying like a cutlass


in her lap forlorn

for Granny Letchumi (b. fin 19th C. - d. 1978)

Once i was a prince in your highbeamed palm-thatched house
  timber and stone
   of hardened mud and cold green shiny cement
in your village ribbed with drying splintering palmleaf fences
  buttressed by ferns

For Palmyra in her eternal home
Your feminist smell, 
Your purple dress, 
And all what engaged of history, 
Transients with psalms war..
Brobos and Oorljnos 
And the night that saturate wine from 
White pearls of your lips.

And to Palmyra in her flares, 
Planets vocals, 
Rumble bees into...

Once i was a prince in your eyes my every wish granted

1.Heaven and earth unequal
to undone help.

in future existence.
8.Ever remember good help 
forget harm instant.
9.Earlier noble act makes
forgiving lethal...

Lines more lunatic than the sun – 4

your body 
that’s fond of tv-soap

with its un-worldly moonlight 	and worldly tricks and posterings
as if  		it wants to plough
a thin winter 	that is attached firmly		with a mermaid 

along with the-path said-by-her 	
the white leaves are being flown...

Summer has just started
    Let us go to the market
To buy the young tasty Palmyra fruit
the transparent jelly like texture,
which is so soft and cool,that dilutes
in my mouth swiftly,such a pleasure

    Summer has just started
    Let...
