kavi namana

O my spirit  by national poet Dr Kuvempu

                                              

O my spirit                                                                             

you become residenceless |                        

going beyond names and forms

playing crores of names

sword of  feelings splitting chest|

throwing dust of hundreds of castes

going beyond all principle

rising up  without   dirfctions|

don’t stop anywhere

don’t build  house for ever

 don’t reach end at all

·         O    be infinet |

Infinite itself becoming   infinite

Is becoming   eternal  yogi

Infinite you become infinite

Become become become  become |

I am poor he is poor

By varakavi dr d R bender(ambika tanaya   datta)

I am poor he is poor

Love is our life

We used the same

For that this and all|

ju

Wheather  near or far

He is stage school

Eye binding statue

Ornament to ear

To winter and hot sun moderate

When body is touched

At the same time body full

Cloth of hairs to me

Things and ornament which he gave

Only i and he knows

Armlet to arms

Cheekful of kisses|

Did not show any defficiancy

What more is wanted

Gave to womb life fruit

Milk and honey to lip|

Searched some where by national poet drSHIVARUDRAPPA

SEARCHED SOMEWHERE NON EXITING GOD

IN FORT OUR EGO(AHAM)

HOW DIFFICULT IT IS TO ADJUST

IN THIS LIFE OF FOUR DAYS

LIKE HOT WARM BREATH

AIR  CRAWLED SLOWLY

NIGHT’S BORDER ‘S SHADOW STRECHED

SKY OPENED EYES

EARTH COOLED SWEAT DROPPED

TEARS  MADE GRASS  WET

SILNCE ROLLED TWISTED RISED

AIR BLOWD WITH FORCE

TO FAN OF COCONUT LEAF

MIND SLEPT PLEASANTLY

9)where do you go stop  clouds

Where do you go stop  clouds

Spill four drops

14)silence embraced earth by  m gopala Krishna adiga modern  “poet who opened eye of one generation”

Silence embraced  earth

Got excited earth

Sky saw and shyeed

Joined evening red in cheek|

To divine song of bird’s neck

Tight ness loosened little

Like warm hot breath

Air crawled slowly

Shadow of  night’s border stretched

Sky opened eye

Earth cooled sweat dropped

Tears wet grass

Silence rolled rolled and rised

Air rushed blowd

To fan of coconut leaves

Mind slept coolly

15)carved in stone by dr kuvempu national poet jnana peeta awardee

Sculpturist  carved shiva in stone

Vydika  jailed(added) him in temple

Kindful shiva why became stone

For one living in mind  is other house needed

Keeping hundreds of names  to one god

Shouting he is more  this is more

Was there sacred thread  when brahmana came

Was there shivadara  when shiva’s devotee came

While coming all are nacked

Later fight  as high and low

While shiva was waiting in mind of ‘depressed class’

 Obstructed you to come  inside temple

Don’t cry as low you are shiva’s son

In heart is fillrd up honey of devotion|s

Famous poetry ‘yava mohana murali kareyitho’ by famous poet

M. Gopalakrishna Adiga  who opened the eyes of one generation.

Which mohana(fascinating) flute called you to distant bank

Which brundavana attracted your soily eye?

Flower bed, moon, sandal, arm embrace, kiss

In fence of garden of desires this ringing of senses (group)

Thinking that it is enough!  What boredom today?

Loved soft chest, blood muscles hit touch cave

What is this rolling eyes floating vision’s gesture?

Which sweetful pain? What request of divine?

Like fire hidden in tree somewhere boredom is sleeping

Somewhat rubbing something touching burns up anxiety

Beyond latent seas seven seas are waiting

Dumb murmur of waves today passed here also

Prana(life) became uncontrolled: ha! Your chethana (spirit) is under other’s control

Leaving all which exists to move towards non existing is life

Which mohana flute called you suddenly?

Which brundavana stretched it’s lighting hand?
