About me

A mother, wife and civil servant, a conscientious citizen and patriot ----- my abiding love for books has made me try my hand at writing poetry, none of which is anything but the strictly spontaneous outpouring of a mind that prizes truth and harmony, above all else.

surfeit

#APoetAtHeart

It rained last night
The syngonium is gleaming
The madumalti smiles
The sweet basil is fragrance epitomised
Alas , my adeniums are not looking as pleased
The floods , the floods , they piteously cry
As water seeps down to the roots
softly killing them before they can even ask why
So it is with life
Joy is a welcome device
to keep one alive
Except when a surfeit beguiles
(priya )
