POEMS OF DWARAKAI THALAIVAN
ANOTHER ONE
[BIRTH DAY]
Face of age
Looks at the
Mirror of calender.
There flies
The torn off leaf-
The yesterday’s one
As old mask
Worn by the mind.
CAGE OF MIND
[INSTANT POEM ]:
[Instant poem is one to be told instantly in a particular environment. The poem below was told and recorded in a zoological park in Chennai].
Bird in the cage
Had feathers of
Rainbow.
I gazed at its beauty
And let its feathers
Paint my mind
Until I saw
Its eyes.
Suddenly it started
Losing its charm
With no more colours
On the wings
The bird had
Only a dark film of imprisonment
Covering its feathers.
In front of the cage
A small bird
On the bark of a tree-
Is a visitor to the zoo
From the nearby forest.
It made sounds
To acknowledge the breeze.
It fluttered its wings
And lifted its legs
Showering and
Dusting my eyes
With freedom
To open the
Cage of mind.
