Overdue - A poem

The Snap-

Overdue- The Poem.

Bunch of blossoms;

Wet and wilted.

Pinch of thunder;

Set and shorted.

Writhed around;

Tethered abound.

Lightening adrift;

Heightening in shifts;

A few wings tore;

From dew drops sore;

The cloud petals bore;

It started to pour.

A pregnant blast;

The rain’s ballast;

Sloshed soaked;

Terrain naked;

Filth; Grime;

Soil and Slime;

In spurts, it ran; rivulets sang;

In leaps; coy peeps;

Along with the flow;

Alone on the plough;

Furrowed through;

A few lost blood drops;

The last few of the million hewed;

Bled with gusto; Honor presto;

Crimson patches; raw earth’s swatches;

Of long forgotten; War begotten;

In satin swirls, those last blood drops;

Ran along in swills;

Searching along;

For a few drops of tears;

A few drops of tears;

A few centuries overdue!

Author's note-

I simply love to write poetry in Tamil. It just flows.Tamil in itself is so phonetically worded, It's orgasmic to create a lovely thought in the language. It's like my first love- each and every time i write poetry in Tamil, the fleeting sensation of immense pleasure, the more you love, the more you enjoy, getting drunk with words.

The above poem is a roughly translated version of a Tamil poem, I wrote a few days ago. I wanted to capture the pain of war and violence in a melodramatic fashion. I hope that you guys enjoy the same.
