1)Poetry collection hanathe(lamp)1933:

 

1)My song:

Like flower in body of creeper

Is hiden my song

 When to break and come  slowly?-

Will enjoy-will fear

 

Measuring all sorrows of chest

Eye tear getting dried

Only  that  call remaining

My song blosoms(splits)

 

Making life  a mad-

Love raaga (tune) burning going

When it’s ash-memory-stands

My song splits(blosoms)

 

 

One desired existance eternal

  love coming fading

only desire   remaining

my song blosoms

 

like love of  innocent

hided is my song

when  breaking nest of thought

will it come I fear

,,, ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

2)gift of love:

In my life was beauty

Difficulties  long sighs

Success,song,peace,revolution

Before entry of love also

 

Love came,wiped past

Carried lightning to life

New sun,moon star,

New fragrance,song

 

Has made to stand  on life stage

To rule life of beauty

“when love rules,ruling beauty

Existance to pain?” told(i)

 

Queen brought-true—to life

Reality   of playing veena

Nobody sees she herself has brought

Sorrow’s new sigh?

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

3)from poetry collection:maandakiru:

3) lamp(hanathe):joy fading,sorrow rising

Fear spreading-responding

Mind requests to god

Laming human loves

 

If there is joy why god?

Why offerings and piligrimages?

When desires  dry up

Why subordination of hurry?

 

On understsanding love  selfishness renunciation

Why belief in liberation?

 To  love of deathful man if there is eye  

Why god’s grace?

 

Dedicating desire draging to sin

Pain burning

If not available anywhere on earth

Excuse,kindness,sympathy

In war of tumult of  selfishness nonselfishness

Desirire getting openedon that day will request god

”pour, peace to mind!”

 

God,have enlighted lamp

To you in your chest house

Desire,tears,fear,desires

 Have  filled  oil  in lamp

Till base(nele) lamp twinkling

Will request  lord(honourable)!

  On oil   drying  up,lamp putting off

,where you are shunya(zero,bayalu)

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

4)one evening:

Time drowned-faded

Earth rolling in  morning

On mother disappearing

Like child playing in dust getting dirt(maasu)

 

Became dark shined above

Like stars

Like dark of screen

Reflecting some light

 

At botom I am  this ancient

Fascinating dark and stars

In real condolence there

 comparing to shining  feel (bhava)

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,s

 

5) become light  hey, mind:

Become light hey mind become light hey mind

Fly leaving  me

Fly reach hari

 

On toching me you become dirt(contaminated)

If you leave me  clean and defectless(nishkala)

Leaving me who flow

Going forward reach hari

 

Flying in vastness of sky

Joining sky border like post

Milk ocean sleeper  black beauty

Play in breath you becoming his breath

 

Loving light  blosomed flower’s air coming

Go along with you mind

Listening  laughing talk of innocents

Remember nandagokula  mind

 

Gari mudurusuva alalantanu(……………………?) melting

Remember in colour of shyama

Bathing rising in holy kaali

Mix with bright of beautiful eyess

 

Become light hey mind become light hey mind

Fly leaving  me

Fly reach hari

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

??melting  attachment of sorrow folding feather

wet in colour of shyama

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

6)that tree:

 

 Drinking below mud and dirt

Blosoms flower in upper sky

 At root  base you eat stools

 Above give ripened fruits

 

In chaithra (spring) world is burning with dry earth

 You eject juicewearing tnder leaves

 Projecting  jade in  severe sunlight

You threw cool air  shade below

 

 In winter giving yourself to snow

 You stand bear(nacked)  droping leaves

 In ashada sorrm devil

Does not leave even a single leaf

 

 I am not impure or contaminated

I  am not  living for only for me

By me no harm to others

 I  have  no anybody’s help

 

 Who ever wants I will give that

 I will die while giving giving

 Even if I die I am odourless fragrance

 If died you are  smeilling cadaver(dead body)

…………………………….end……………………

 

7) shadow:

above one  eagle is flying:

below it’s shadow is running

to that it’s desired path

 to this  street where ever flown

 

in land land on house and house

though not seen  pond, well, as though seen

plant gulma(……………?) ups and ups

without telling only one border to it

 

 if air blows runs   in land!

Which plan  will become across?

Caught withot becoming tired

Walk to this without stop

 

Seing this  I remember today

What is this shadow gandhi!

where mind of hari flows

this bold walks towards that

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

8)argument in support of war:

Truth only wins

Not false

This is future

 

What wins is truth

False(myth) fails

Like   past

 

At present?

War only  is truth

Peace is myth(false)

For decision of this

War only is  important

Peace is untollerable

 

In war only hint of truth

In war only vanish of false

till when desire of truth  to people

till that ready for fight

 

this is pure worship of truth

this is called war

this argument of war support (promotion?)

give joy to reader!

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

9)question-answer:

Why is mango buded?

Let kokila sing

Flower plants  why flowers out-

Let bee collect(group)

 

Why greenish green in park?

absorbibg juice of grass blade

to have emotional excitement

poets seing towards sky!

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

10)problem of critic:

See see came

O brought book!

Stood shying

‘is there leasure’asked

 

What if without leasure?

This is his cleverness

Come what more

Nod head

 

Telling kata kata

What is this word explosion

!this is his winder

my worry

 

“why gold”?

Ayyo poor creature

Is my acceptance needed?

Why this hobby (addiction) to him?

 

Some desire moderationless language

Feel also blind

Theme(thirulu) to talk also

“imagination high

Words little difficult

Meaning is unclear

Difficult to know”

 

When I told like this

This saraswathi ‘s son

Will he believe

Though sky falls?

 

Clever in all 

dull in poetry

if told ,defect of friendship!

Silence is better.

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

11)this dark this lamp:

This dark this lamp

Which king(lord) enlighted this

See  it’s oscilation(response) ,pity

My sympathy to it

 

For sin one more sin

Fot pain one more pain

To following pain(anuthaapa) of sin and pain

To house house

One lamp of  osage(good function)|

 

Desire lamp of human development(highness)

Brings desire your hesitation(?)

Though world expires

Don’t leave haith you

Without uting off  air in middle

Physical dust of science

 Like  black cloud  heart lakshmi

Runing  lamp play

 

This dark this lamp

Who enlighted this king(lord)?

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,s

 

12) mini poetries:

1) mind of panchali:

My mind daughter prana fire

Beloved of five elements(panchabhuthas) 

Earth waterlightair sky loving you

Variously loving is it winder?

 

2)sri statue:

Like prahlada who showd

God in stone only

Carver your sculpture(carve)-

Coming in yogi’s heart

Joy’s  prathikalpa(imagination?)

 

3)importance of forgetfulness:

To kiss and kiss intoxication of forgetfulness

By that to all sweet red lip food(thutthu)

These are mathra sparshas,true,momentary

By that,this  breath won’t get bored till end

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,s

 

13)earth ouurs sweetness:

Earth   pours sweetness

Processing if we  treat it

 

Mind pours sweet

If treated by good values

 

People pour sweet

If we treat it by good feel

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

14) subordination:

Fish  fighting with water

Can  it  live

Self which struggles with body

Can it reside?

 

Today which does not accept back

Can it see forward(future)

In fool *aviveki humba)tells no subordination

Will subordination  go?

 

Air lightwater green

 Orest wetland dry land

Womb breath subordination  every where

 

If suboedination remains no life

What is there in struggle?

Making wondering  to ego work

What is theme((use)

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

15)time-shadow-night:

When time appearing  coming  made

Shadow long

Again rising rising

Made it small

While downing downing (coming down)

Made it long again

Till nightplayed with thiruli( irulu?,sathva,saara…?)

When night came no shadow

swallowd

remained hurule(……………..?)

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,

 

17)desire has no  completion (fulfilment) of destruction:

Orphan child is crying

Mother will pick up

Much poor  requests          

That god will show grace

Mass of people is screaming

That lords will open earold people desire

That childern will look after(protect)

Poet builds poetry

Rich people will like it

 

But what

Oneself by oneself

To kill desire?

Telling to it  be eternal(nithya)

This world (life)has given promise

To god this is fun

,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,end,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,
