776. Line Blocking Love! 160609 Poem by Raman Savithiri

(As I live in desert, my heart will melt when I see countless plants are burnt up in this hot summer. When I see workers toiling under sun fully covered suffocating at 50 degree Celsius temperature …. I really do not know what to do for them. When I return from school I smile at workers whom I come across, to soothe them. That alone I could do. If they are females I don’t have any uneasiness in smiling. But if they are males, I should draw a line….I don’t want that subtle line too which blocks my love towards them.)

Bestow taintless heart connected to oceanic love.
As I walk love-spring should gush at all my footsteps,
Drenching the roots of desert plants to bloom above!
As I see love-breeze should swing with new dew drops!

As I spill my smiles upon workers under hot sun,
Their aching hearts should be soaked in Atlantic ice!
Their breathing air should be filled with merry fun,
As I scatter few kind words through my lips or eyes!

But remove the danger of identifying with body.
Let me not waste my looks on handsome men!
Like great saint Suka should I cross the body,
Let me not taste temporal love of egotistic gent! 160609
