mesmerizes
intoxicates
in self-esteem...
delirium tremens
from the soul...
Daydream,
intoxication
of spirit...
image reflection
reflected
in the scattering...
exaggerated love
leads rightly or wrongly...
Conveys the biggest
illness...
love that misunderstands
limits...self -love
blind...insane...
destruction love
it's love that isn't
sane
sick...
virulence-ridden
vanity...
self-admiration
unspeakable evil,
narcissism...defect

My husband and I have a perfect routine
In the stay-at-home days caused by Covid-19.
Our apartment’s not big – bedroom, kitchen and bath
And a living room – 3 and ½. (Do the math.)
We alternate times in the bathroom, of course.
(To do otherwise might just result in divorce.)
The kitchen’s the same – we just smoothly take turns
At the fridge, sink and stove to ensure nothing burns.
For the bulk of the day, we’re in separate rooms
(It’s not true that we talk to each other with Zooms)
But we join to watch Cuomo* and FaceTime the grands
And have dinner – I hope no one misunderstands…
We are happy together to shelter-in-place
But it’s vital to each have some just-for-me space
So we divvy the day to connect and to part –
Like the governor says, we’re tough, loving and smart.
*the governor of New York

H-ammer something home,
A-ugust nineteenth Saturday;
I-t's better to say it clear,
N-o detail is gone
A-way.
G-o hammer something home,
O-bliterating the doubt;
N-o one misunderstands you,
Z-ealously open your mouth.
A-llow the truth to erase
L-ies of deceivers that roam;
E-xpose the devil's deceit,
S-o hammer something home.

The capricious 'man',once trying to
Alienate himself
From the inurbane 'beast' -
Now tries to gravitate towards it
In an attempt to flatter
And to dissipate all ill-feeling.
Foolish, the 'beast' misunderstands
The perspicuous lies of the malignant 'man';
Never realizing it is being used as a transitory scapegoat.

My Ophelia sits, poised and preening
like a big question mark
ready to go, ready to stay
I scratch and rub her back gently,
she curls and purls, asking for more.
I take her into my arms,
embracing as children and lovers do.
She is quick to read the meaning
behind the gesture, murmurs contentedly,
affection is her due.
Then I bring home another one,
furry and white, as cuddly as she,
but she throws herself into a fit of pique,
demeanor turns bizarre, like a puppet
manipulated by an unseen force.
I never dream Ophelia misunderstands
my very good intentions; I puzzle
how my new cat, male and sensuous
sends Ophelia, she-cat and sensuous too,
scurrying, delving into madness.

How can you keep this up,when all you do is keep messing up.
Promise after promise you make,but they all seem to break.
You want me to believe you but how can I when everything you say is fake.
Take another drink or another pill,just so you can get the fill,forget your kids and how they feel.
Crying every night asking where you are tonight
I don't like what you keep doing,it's
hurting my feelings.
I want the old mom back, the one that didn't have to put on an act.
The one that didn't have to tell a lie every time.
The one that didn't make the twins cry every time you'd say goodbye.
All I'm asking is for the old mom back ,is that asking to much from me?
I just want you to see your not only hurting me.
I love you mom but I'm taking a stand,I'm tired of all the misunderstands.
I just want the old mom back, I hope you understand.

beauty is always speechless,
defining it is worthless.
no one knows what is inside,
always misunderstands by judging from outside.
those things which appear appealing,
sometimes are not wise and soothing.

I am posting the English translation of my creation named "Njaanum ente vazhiyum".
I think that you will like it....
Yes, I was walking slowly through that dark, silent way.....
No!! I forgot to learn and understand the facts of life by walking fast.
I walked slowly by thinking that all the things I came across,
and all those whom I crossed were good and trustworthy....
But... when I turned back to the way I came across, just to know....
I understood my mistakes, my misunderstands.... about others....
My heart is beating for something.....
Some memories play Hide & seek in it.....
The pain which was given by those memories....
I think that some pages of my life book has been teared by somebody.....
I know I was late to understand my mistakes and the facts of life...
I became late.... too late..... now!!!!?
I think that I am in the dawn of my life.....
Is it so my dear!!!!!!.....
PS:I am new poet, so, I request you to ignore my mistakes.If the mistakes are not ignorable-
-then feel free to post a comment, so that I can rectify those in my next creation.
