If you are  near pond of life spilling filling
Good beauty lotus’s hundred flowers blossoming
Without life in whirl of   zeroness(shunyathe)
Twisting rolling  reduces breath  b;ocking irritating!

When you are nearsun rise is very beautiful
On touching youfine forest wave;
Your sweet tone joining melody tune of   bird’s neck(throat)
Song of divine garden calls (secreting)  body with shy

All world is  non living(jada) rock,residence of boredom!
Today this malnad,to you  departed poet

Affection separated   11:
Have filled up life step’s witness
Thousand thousand thousand  witness
Bird of doubt has not yet died;
Eye of interest (shraddha,sincerity) has not yet blossomed;
This is not  theist or atheist ship(asthika nasthikaship);
Only ingratitude,not gentlemanship!
…………………………end………………………..
Affection separated  12:
Holding flowers,bending head
Standing o  plant
Daily dust striken(attached)
Without child ‘boring’(bico)
has fallen spoiled your
 bald base!
Jade only is muththaide
 No ornament to base!
Whole head rich
Leg and hand poor!
Loved child’s company
Again your ornament
With muththaideship
Returns marriage.
Till that how ever nuch
Flower you wear-same:
Peculiar widow!
……………………..end……………………….
Affection separated  13:
Alone, alone, alone,
Ayyo I am alone!
O shiva,except you ,I won’s see anybody
To me everlasting friend!
Begeted died;
Brothers also died.
I have not yet got anybody equal minded friends.-
To hand held wife
Parents are there,mother house is there;
I am not everything.
To lovely child  pampering mother.
At last I am only  street dog!
Alone,alone,alone,
Ayyo   I am alone!
O shiva,except you I won’t see anybody
To me eternal friend!
…………………………..end…………………….
Nirvana(liberation):
On flower petal like red honey drop
In bed is sleeping my  friend wife.
Bird of poet’s eye,straightening (stretching long) tongue long
Licking swallowing   as though  to make liberation(nirvana)!
………………………………end………………………….
No beauty without you:
If you give all sweet;
Without you giving  no taste
If you are near all world
Milk,honey,sugar,jiggery.-
No beauty without you!
………………end…………………..
Nail wounded moon(nakhakshathendu):
New love of day and night
In enjoyment of evening  enjoyer
See there cloud’s thin screen  border(saree)
Shying,face coverung,sky lass
Throws on cheeknail wounded moon
In bedroom shying yoga!
 …………………………..end………………..
Love scorpion:
Love scorpion is sugar
Even if biten not bitter;
It’s hook is of affection’s
Even if pricked jaggery is sweet!

Kuvempu  samagra kavya  volume2:
Poetry collection’anikethana’:
Flower Samadhi(trance) in flower garden:
Flower!flower! flower! Flower!
My death is in merudanda
Snake opening it’s coil
Love blossoming of joy’s pain
Blossoming in brain flower!
That this ,surrounding   everywhere
Flower!flower! flower! Flower!
Breath body all flower!

Where red everything is red?
Where everything is blue
Colourful  this kuvempu
Becoming himself seing vision(view)
As garden of flowers
Floating in colourful sea
Beyond death,drinking amrutha
Flower! Flower!flower! flower!
Flower! Flower!flower! flower!.........
………………………end…………………….
Alaru=flowersoga=sukha=joy,safe.
