Enn Thaai..

For the past few days, I had been feeling very homesick. This poetry is the fruitful outcome of my loneliness..

I dedicate it to my mother..


Karuvaai uruvaagiya ennai..
Kannum karuthumai gavanithu..
Uruvaaki.. uyir udal thanthu..
Pettreduthaai nee..
Ennai pettraedutha thaai nee..

Kuruthiyai paalai ootinaai..
Gunam ullavalaai uruvaakinai..
Kalvi thanthaai.. Kalai thanthai..
Kaar irulilum.. koodave irunthaai..
Thaayai.. Thozhiyaai..
Anbu mazhai pozhinthai..
Konjam paduthavum seithaai..

Ulagam arinthu kolla..
Naan unnai pirinthu vanthaen..
Udalaal mattumae..
Uyirum ninaivum.. angu unnidame..

Neeyum naanum..
Pesaatha vaarthai illai..
Podaatha sandai illai..
Pirinthu irukkum innaerathil..
Avai mattumae ennudan..
Unnai enakku puriyavaitha ippirivukkum..
Ninaivil muzhuthaai thangivitta annaatkalukkum..
Manathaara naan nandri solgiraen..

Kaathu irukiraai nee..
Ennudan unn kaalam kazhithida..
Ulagam arinthidum enn aasayo..
Unn pirivin sogam munn payanatrathaai poivida..
Unnai thaedi naan varugiraen..
Thina padi.. Ninaivaal..
Seekirame unnai chaernthiduvaen.. Nijathil..
Kaathirukiraen.. Naanum..
Antha nann naalai yethir noki..

Tholai thoorathil nee.. Aanaalum..
Kann moodinaal kangalukkul nee..
Kannaadi uruvathilum nee.. Karuthilum nee..
Kaalam kanintha udan..
Kaatrai unnidam naan vanthiduvaen..
Pin unnai enn pillai pol potriduvaen..
Kaalam muzhuvathum unnai kaathiduvaen..
Karuvai.. Uyirai.. Karuthaai..
