ದುಗುಡ ಕಡಲು

PC: Myself!!


ಕರಗಿ ಹರಿಯದ ದುಗುಡ ಕಡಲಿದು
ಹಾಡಿ ಕುಣಿದರೂ ನೋವು ಸಾಯದು!

ಆಸೆ ತೀರಲು ಬಯಕೆ ಮೂಡ್ವುದು
ಎಷ್ಟು ಸಿಕ್ಕರೂ ಮನಸು ನೀಗದು!

ಎಷ್ಟು ಚೆಂದವೋ ಕನಸು ಅರಳಲು
ಸತ್ಯ ತಿಳಿಯಲು ಕುಮಲು ಕುಂದದು!

ಸೊಕ್ಕು ಸೊರಗಲು ಸಮಯ ಕಾಯದು
ಕಾಣೋ ಸಬೂಬ ಕುರುಡು ಒಪ್ಪದು!

ಕರಗಿ ಹರಿಯದ ದುಗುಡ ಕಡಲಿದು
ಹಾಡಿ ಕುಣಿದರೂ ನೋವು ಸಾಯದು!

(It is the frozen ocean of sorrow that refuses to melt and flow;
Though I do sing and dance, pain refuses to wilt and die!

Once desires get fulfilled, there do arise more fancies;
How much so ever is got, the heart is never contented!

How soothingly beautiful it is when dreams do blossom within;
But as and when reality starts biting heartache diminishes not a bit!

Time neither pauses nor waits for the ego to be tamed down;
Though glaringly visible are proofs blindness never sees any of them!

It is the frozen ocean of sorrow that refuses to melt and flow;
Though I do sing and dance, pain refuses to wilt and die!)

A view of the room....


PC: Myself!!

The half smoken cigarette buds
The unfinished bookmarked books
The cloth strewn bed of mine
The unwashed colored glass of wine

The forgotten fruits that rot and stink
The worn out shirts with stains of ink
The damp socks too old, plenty of mold 
The dusty boots waiting for the cold

The laptop running short of power
The mobile that got wet in shower
The speaker booming in loop since long
The router overused, hence gone wrong

The camera lens washed only by rain
The gift I got for her, that waits in vain...
