Indira Renganathan Poems

In the darkness of an evening
Nascent was I just on earth
Endured with pain were you there on
Ready to brook further long
...

Her body darkly sheathed
On demand for dowry paled
Meanly fed, hungered
Yielded issues diseased
...

So much excitement over a bus ride
Had experiences though in my teens
Long after now from northern side
Madurai to Nellai southward on wheels
...

Rise up o' fearless hearts
On avowal of flourishing refrains
Sown are red and green
Thou energetic wheel to glean
...

Faith's no legs
So can not walk
Nor has any wings
So can not fly
...

So
Of your own choice
You taint tolerance
As you're doing so
...

A seasonal war weaponed
Persistent in the vault of heaven
Vajrastra, agniastra, varunastra..
Whipping of silvery flashes
...

Madurai Malligai(Jasminum sambac, Gundu Malli)

Rubied of the twilights the loam
Redolent of the Malligai grown
...

Man-made gods single-headed
Attached to a detached bust
Synthesizing on top decored
Three- handed, two-handed deified
...

Sometimes my verses
Get sentenced into a muted click
Muted mind sits sombre
Scratching the head to grey
...
