The Lonely Sun... Poem by Veeraiyah Subbulakshmi

The Lonely Sun...



I am stationed at the center,
Gazing at every other loner,
The eye are laced with yellow,
The face is massacred with blows,

The loneliness in my heart spurts out,
The solitude has no limit to boast,
They are too scared to befriend me,
As I vaporize their weak watery souls,

Melt their ego hills to be the ghost of null,
Drink all their living air to fuel my lust for fire,
A cup of cultured ice, the size of Neptune,
The troubling ring, as big as the Saturn,

They are ready to offer me the gifts of lies,
Changing their attires after every solar shower,
My eyes can't be closed and I would not shut it,
As there are thousands of colorful blooms,

Among the greens, the billions of eyes,
With two litter shutters each are happier,
When they play merry go round around me,
I feel lonelier than ever as I can't hug,

Any of my admirers, who are all fragile,
Even at the distance of billions of light years.

i sit wonder-struck reading this wonderful poem. i wonder at the thought waves that traversed those uncountable mind-miles in pursuit of blessed content to build this ecstatic edifice of enduring beauty of cosmic excitement, which i felt while engaged myself in your verses. not enough, i must read it repeatedly, enjoy it to the core, and like an innocent village boy enjoying the juice of some seasonal mango at its mellow fate, standing by the cool shade of a legendary mango tree, having forgotten his herding duties and the setting weak red sun too.. leaving now, as duty calls me, but, would, by God's grace, like to read again, post to my inbox please. love and rgds
