Long Daylong Poems

We knew more about our mother. While, father was a revered persona , a bit distant.
Our mother was always an undertone in front of father, an unrecognized delicate privacy, worn out
Her lingering incomplete silences used...

You are..

The first hour of morning delight
A lonesome afterglow of twilight
A fatigued afternoon, slowly passing for only an hour.
You are..
All day round a maple leaf, a fallen Aesop, elsewhere  
You are..
Folding daylong a solid...

In scarce a week the place began to weave 
A weird fascination upon me, 
Nigh hard to bear, harder still to believe, 
I felt as if a dragon from a sea 
Was slowly digesting me...

A Solitary Stranger

Lonely a soul, he, waits there daylong, a lonely stranger, he
To knit the finest webs of dreams, one of the most delicate kinds.
Gazing, out there, with  brimming eyes he ponders
To catch a...

Here we are
come ~ bring it
in the morning
at noon
and in the evening
and if time permits you
and your legs could walk you
in the small hours of the night
like one, or two, or three

Here is our dwell

When it goes wrong
It all goes wrong
All daylong

This morning I walked outside
And left my umbrella sitting on the door stool
The appetite of mid day fool
Wading through the stormy weather
Tissues beneath my chin
What has put me...

Autumn Awakes

Rustling ochre, crimson leaves all daylong,
A coolness settles, shorter days advanced,
Easterlies, westerlies, tradewinds strong,

Southward birds fly, so parts summer birdsong,
Mid leaves lay spiked beech, acorn--care enhanced,
Rustling ochre, crimson leaves...

Almost evening.
The smell of seaweed hanging
on whispers coming up from the beach.
I sit in the backyard, rearranging thoughts,
trying to fit shapes into what's missing 
in that vast mosaic I have been piecing 
together all my...

Harvesting Festival 
And thank giving celebration
Predominantly for farmers but all
People of Tamilnadu despite their religions, celebrate the

The first day is celebrated as bogi in

Thankful Hearts
For all blessings God gave to you and me
Be ever thankful for all that we see . . . . . . .
Glorious blue sky and sun shining bright 
Clouds drifting by, fluffy carpets...

Where conifers gaily waltz tempos evergreen
Unspoiled by human deeds, pure, and pristine,
Eagles soar there, spanning freedom wings 
And trees gently whisper to rhythmic bird trills
Echoing grey owls, blue jays, robins, crossbills,
Hopping, jumping, circling, frolicking in...

Do you ever lie down in grass and gaze,
pretend no duties call and let mind float,
play which knight wins the furious battle
somewhere in the wisps above daylong haze?

A lizard morphs into war time schooner.
Raise those...

Upon leaves of gold, orange and brunette,
I lay with backpack as my pillow asset.
As air touches me, smooth as any duvet,
cascading songs sing from a drowsy sunset:

Mountain sleep-persuasion strong
sways treetops in cradlesong.
Lay down contents of...

A direct sequel to my poem, Abeyance. Linked at the end

Danna O Menel Palan-Diriel
(Fall From Heaven Gazing Far)

My tattered wings are gone,
And falling from their gaze,
I listen to the skies;
Ablaze without a glow.
Instead of promise...

The druids, its believed, held hands in prayer, facing the East
beat drums, blew horns to welcome the Summer Solstice daylong feast

Their sonorous chants, the horns and drums grew louder
as sun appeared at the horizon and...

The winter weather was bad, snowed heavily that year,
Santa was late dressing up and putting on the head gear.

He needed then to hurry up to reach the town in time
before chilled night fell, Christmas bells...

Oh, it was a beautiful cloudless sunny day,
as I wandered a meadow to make a bouquet;
all about butterflies were dancing a ballet,
and I was dazzled by the song of a blue jay !

i  collect 
scraps of memories of you
sure some of those are so vivid
i can see them when I'm walking
walking to the unknown
opening up with every daylong conversation 

whatever will we do 
when we go back to work 
condense the...

Amidst plenty we grope like scavengers
Like orphans with no descent
Like clothe sellers wearing rags
Or meat vendors feasting only on bones

Had I no inheritance or birthright?
Had I only crumbs off the master’s table
Or no returns for...

Simple words, and simply said, 
uttered with such grace, the poet's token; 
nature's fables for the heart and soul 
so eloquently spoken; 
for animals and flowers 
tenderness and love are manifest, 
they echo through his...

Being bathed by sunshine showers
Is a vast array of wildflowers.
Swaying in time to a summer song
This field of color is a dancing throng.

They shimmy in the daytime heat
And move as one to a breezy beat.

Our love is like a rambling vine,
It grows, it climbs, it intertwines 

Long and strong, a melodious song
Gingerly playing all daylong

Our love is like a rambling vine,
It grows, it climbs, it intertwines

Joined by God and...
