My Mother Keeps The Empty Cage Of Me In Guard! Poem by Dr.V.K. Kanniappan

My Mother Keeps The Empty Cage Of Me In Guard!



My mother does not know that my mind had already
gone with desire to embrace the Pandya king
of the Koodal country that is surrounded
by coconut trees with lots of coconuts!

But she keeps the empty cage of me in guard
as if the hunter made the bird, Quail, to fly away
from the cage and gaurds the cage unaware of it!

Hi,
This poem 'My mother keeps the empty cage of me in guard! ' is a translation by me of a poem from Tamil literature 'MuththoLLaayiram'

நேரிசை வெண்பா

கோட்டெங்கு சூழ்கூடல் கோமானைக் கூடஎன
வேட்டாங்குச் சென்றஎன் நெஞ்சறியாள் - கூட்டே
குறும்பூழ் பறப்பித்த வேட்டுவன்போல் அன்னை
வெறுங்கூடு காவல்கொண் டாள்.55 முத்தொள்ளாயிரம்
