Lullaby of Kite Stuck In a Tree

a moment to rejoice felt the slight high of swaying away
the tender breeze was all so cool singing a lullaby to me
i swung high and rotated low swinging away in glory

never knew when the drizzle so slow started to spray
me with awe
slowly i lost my flesh and identity drenching in the storm 
that stole my clothes and left me bare
here i stood like a skeleton hung with nothing 
but well spend momenst in thunder....sunkan

Winter's Holy Days

IN WINTER SABARIMALA A TRIP TO REMEMBER:

In winter all men down south of India
Follow celibacy for 40days
They are up by very early in the morning
Praying meditating on the lord
They would never shave but bathe
Morning and evening to maintain hygiene
They wear black to show their
Detachment into any normal life.

They will not attend any wedding
Stay away from all celebrities
They have restricted food
No onions or garlic but saatvic food
That could be gruel or soup 
Sleeping on a water reed mat
Nothing too comfy on the bed
With a wooden plank for a pillow 
They should be at ease.

no sandals or boots allowed one need
to walk bare foot along the thorny hilly path
filled with snakes and wild elephants and thorns.
one loose their identity as all are dressed alike 
to loose the "I" and be equal among all the ego is taken away.

The 40th day they celebrate together 
And carry a coconut filled with clarified butter
Along with some rice on their head 
To give it to the bachelor lord of the hills
Some time these holy days are extended
From mid November to mid January 
To see the celestial wonder of star
High above when the temple opens in décor
All shout in ecstasy the lord is pleased the lord is pleased
Beautiful lullaby is sung to put the lord to sleep
It is a holy time with winter many around have different 
Mode and ways to spend in the name of lord….sunkan

LET ME ADD A BRIEF 
in south india or the whole of india sometime come together to follow this trip to
sabarimala the deity is known to have been born from two males shiva and narayana who came
as mohini to bring him into this world. so he will not have anything to do with female in
his vicinity, so women lesser than 10 and above 55 are allowed to go to see him, to see
him one must follow celibacy and strict meditation and lead a ascetic life for the period
that they follow to go and see him...sunkan

Once You Are a Mother You Are Forever a Mother

Once you become a mother
You feel you need to be with the child
Always taking care of its needs
Even while at work your entire mind
Is gnawed at with the thought of your child

When you reach home the first thing
You do is run up to the child pick it up 
And shower all those feelings you wanted to share
Women basically I feel work mechanically
Rather than going to the level that 
That is her life and she should work for a living

The mother in her always begs to differ
Does not want to prove anything anywhere
The tussle between the ego and image
Is on forever as it never gets any recluse from this position
I being a singer had to be away in the evenings
Loved singing and would be singing a lullaby
Praying it reaches my little one to put her to sleep….sunkan

The Universal Hunger For Love

The moon lit night lured me to the waves

When the cool waves touched my feet

It aroused the girl in me

The chuckle quietly summed up

Sending euphoria a high

 

The shine of the moon

Brought about a heady feeling

Saturate me in its glow

The stars were far away

Diamonds in the sky

Setting a stage of love

Exclusive for me

 

The iridescent silent waves

Enlightened their selfless love

Which held in abundance

Making me feel

Am I worthy oh! Am I?

 

The soft sand caressing

My feet while I tread

Giving me a feeling

Of cherished moments

Not to despair

 

The nature has in abundance

The love only to give

Then why oh human

You are always seeking

Without than within.....SUNKAN

Abandoned Love

You abandon me on my teenage fore To be reminiscent of our virgin love
To pang through the emotional lane
Seeking solace in our thoughtful plain
The words so rhyming were those scenes
We lived through with emotions spleen

Taking turns to hurt us more
Were active mind ready to recluse
Trust is a lie that we had learnt
Walked our way through with an empty mind,

Love we knew was something
That drew us near but not within
We loved the company and the bond
That had no future we came to scorn

We ridiculed the very nature
Of two human in stature
Spoilt the fun with little demands
Made it costly for our ends

The moments well spent still linger
Regret moments that could have revived
With love and love alone to survive
The first embrace and the smudgy kiss
Those made us learn many to miss

The long walks along the moonlit shore
Paving way to buoyancy more
Clinging on the spirit of love
Could never imagine it will be a phase
To think back with love and haze


You lead me through the love lost arch
To abandon me on the no trust mark
Still it aches to know I loved you more
I couldn't take it I fell to my knees.
The high price of innocence fleezed
You left me on the bridge of park
Standing to know that your love is quack


The first crush is always a demeanor one has to learn to live with as it never matures the
way we think the way it would…..sunkan

Lament of a Soul Without a Valentine

love stays away for some even if you are born on feb 14th
    It eludes you even in childhood if your mother loves your brother more,
    It eludes you even among siblings if your brother loves your sister more,
    It eludes you even in schools if your teacher loves your other friend more,
    It eludes you even in college if your boyfriend loves your friend more,
    It eludes you even in work place when your boss loves your colleague more,
    It eludes you even in life when your husband loves another woman more,
    It eludes you even if your children love your husband more,
    It eludes you even if your extended family loves your children more,
    It eludes you when it loves your aged self than your youth more..
    May be god loved me so wanted all my attention to him more…sunkan

Christmas Wreath

The wafting aroma of cake around
I see around my friends busy
Busy making savories and sweets
Sweets are a few but taste yummy
Yummy is the cake with different flavor
Flavor of cinnamon and cake seed enhance
The visual enhanced by the star of lights
Lights lined up sparkle in the home front...SUNKAN

The Morning Walk With You

THE MORNING WALK WITH YOU

It is the same morning filled with dew
The rustling soft leaves make me feel anew
The foggy morning reminds me how u hugged me through
Our walks were awesome and nothing to speak but silence our bonding moors

I know my walks are never lonely
There you are with me
You may hold but I will chill knowing your warmth in heart
The unspoken phase of walk with only you along
And beautiful thoughts of another day will triumph in my heart

Ripping sometime the shattered moments when you’re gone
Lost are those moment where I could had been wrong
No resurrections but only fault to play
Still you are here I know my love nothing will ever stray
You await my call to join you here with you
Until then I know you will always stay with me through and through….SUNKAN

The Winter Holy Days

THE WINTER HOLY DAYS:
Holy days are enhanced with share and spread of love
Holy days are here to say I pray for you every day
Holy days are something to remember how we spent together
Candles light and carol singing all charged rent the air

Holy days remind you of friends who are no more
Their sharing of gifts and special attention which is no more
You ache for all those days with friends
Who were around, showing that there is immense power in praying together
I miss them more for being with me 
Helping me pray with intense
Showing the way that god is here
Right among us to show our way
Share and hug is a great way to show how much I care
Oh! Dear friends wish for those bygone days…..sunkan

Birds Love

Birds view:
When I first saw u as a little princess
I knew you will be a beautiful woman one day
Your eyes were so soulful 
They looked so mesmerizing
Your smiling lips a beauty to revere
That one day will steal the world
I know your hair flowing in breeze
Will set many a heart palpitating
For you I salute oh! My little princess 

There you are my little one I can, 
segregate you my darling
My foresight never failed 
You are my golden girl in red
Standing apart from the blackening figurines around,
Your hair is a riot as I imagined and the glow never hiding
I could spot your sexy frame 
Are you the colorful or is it my sight
That makes you the golden girl 
That I cherish in flight

Be sure to stretch your arms 
For me to land with claws all drawn in
Never to hurt you my child
Lets seal the bond begin 
When you were a little one
To the beauty that you have grown 
Right under my sight of admiration….sunkan
