Marooned, I Am...


Amidst the layers of smile,
I hide my pain,
He pats the surface,
Thinking all is well.
The sore look in my eyes,
Never bothers him a bit,
My eyes not only speak,
They scream, they yell.
It rained last summer,
His skin felt so,
Lying on his shoulder,
When all my tears fell.
Sinking in the non-existent,
I don't know how,
If ever I have to write,
How the word 'life' would spell.

  1. One of your very beautiful ones and my fav from your creations :)
    It has surpassed what you have written till now in terms of simplicity and yet being so powerful to express pain. I just loved it. I am going to save it in the diary which I read often and consist of my collection of beautiful poems.

    I loved it, Saru.

  69. clarification and correction on behalf of Mr. Sekar
    I think he tried to translate the last 3 lines of your poem in TAMIL
    "I don't know how,
    If ever I have to write,
    How the word 'life' would spell..."
    BUT I'm sad to say that he has translated with more spelling mistakes in the language-TAMIL
    CONCLUSION:
    HE TRIED TO SAY THAT THOSE LINES ARE TOUCHING HIS HEART
    Nice presentation;keep it up
