POET THAMIZHAZHAGAN—–

A MAESTRO IN RHYTHMS

Thamizhazhagan, a septuagenarian, is a prominent poet who belongs to the Bharatidasan School. His specialty is his wonderful rhythm in his poems. All of his poems have multivaried rhythms, which enchant the minds of the readers. Even if we do not know music, we can just read his poems, which will give a musical note to us.
Many readers who enjoy this spectacular rhythm fail to give due attention to his message. The content of his poems is always thought provoking.
Images, metaphors, similes and other poetic techniques are abundant in his poems. The rhythm of his poems never stands as a barrier for denser thoughts displayed in them.
We can see a couple of his poems as an example.
The following poem “In Search of Light” is highly allegoric and may be considered as the manifesto of the poet for his poetic mission.

In Search of Light
Marching in search of light, I am
Moving forward through Darkness
Rushing to find a way, I am
Mingling with life and melt.
Marching in search of light, I am
Moving forward through Darkness

The droplets of Time
Act as a lyre
The space gets wasted
Weeping and to wipe out it
Trying to find out the root of the dawn,
Marching in search of light, I am
Moving forward through Darkness

Searched every nook and corner of my heart
Jumped over the garden of thoughts
I have entered to the dawn
Oh! I had exceeded in lying!
Marching in search of light, I am
Moving forward through Darkness

The journey is an endless one
Motivated by the life itself
Never hesitated by laziness
My mind acts as my wings to fly
Marching in search of light, I am
Moving forward through Darkness

Assuming it as the dawn of a new era
And as a solution for the perturbed mind
I have decided and determined
Here I have started with a strong will
Marching in search of light, I am
Moving forward through Darkness

Here in the above-mentioned poem the words are symbolic. The meaning of the symbols, ’Light’, Darkness’ ’Dawn’ and ‘Journey’ may be easily understood.

The poet gives an explanation to poetry in another poem titled’Poetry.’
It is highly original and has many layers of deep meaning.

POETRY
In my inner mind
The inner voices are
Scattered in a great disorder
My fingers dared to put them in an order

With the emotion and sentiment
Filled up in my heart
I melted my self
And gave a new illumination.

In the festivals of spring
The enchanting words
Ride upon the vehicle of imagination
And proceed for a procession.

The flame of word
Lights up my tongue as a wick
And performs a dance.

With laziness and sloth
My mind had been useless and dull.
It danced as a Kali,
The ferocious goddess.

Thamizhazhagan’s poems have been published in all the journals of Tamilnadu and his songs are broadcast through Radio for many decades.
To his credit he had written lyrics to some Tamil films.
He had taken part in hundreds of poetic symposia.
Even at this age of 78,he is highly active and can be seen in literary meetings.
His books and compilation of poems are definitely a valuable contribution to Tamil literature.
Among the Tamil poets he is second to none.

Product Description
Haiku, the Japanese form of poetry written in three short lines, is celebrated for its ability to express a simple moment in a profound way. The “haiku moment,” as it is called, refers to a heightened awareness of the world around us and how, in that small, transient period, the greater essence of our lives is reflected.

As our culture speeds up and our personal lives feel overbooked and busy, haiku can offer an easy way to slow down, appreciate the simple things around us, and give us a moment to reflect on our lives. In Haiku Mind, Patricia Donegan presents 108 haiku that offer a larger lesson on how we can approach our lives. With themes such as honesty, transience, and compassion, Donegan offers haiku and commentary as a form of meditation—a moment where we can slowly and naturally discover what is simply here.

PALPABLY, YOU ARE IN THIS ROOM

Palpably, You are in this room,
A presence just as certain as our own,
Singing with us – family friend, well-known –
Someone, not just something we assume.
One can know You only intimately.
Vast as You are, You fit into our home.
Every tick of life we’re not alone,
Rejoicing in a love we feel and see.

SOMETIMES A SACRIFICE OR TWO COMES EASY

Sometimes a sacrifice or two comes easy:
Love’s a very generous reward.
Two people are in equal need quite rarely,
So one becomes the tune and one the chord.
Today I feel immeasurably lucky
To celebrate with you this milestone.
The music in my heart is very lovely.
I watch you from below, but not alone.
I’ll always be exactly where you want me,
As I have faith that you will be for me.
No missing paradise will ever haunt me,
For you and I will share our melody.
I’m proud of what you’ve done and what you’ll do.
No one could be more blessed than I with you.

THE WORDS THAT ARE SIMPLEST

The words that are simplest
And easiest to understand
Are the most powerful:
I love you,
I want to be with you always,
You’re the best thing that ever happened to me.
My heart flows like a river,
Spilling its emotions into a sea
In which the truth moves unseen,
Swimming with silent grace,
Too monstrous for light or land.
The truth feeds on words,
The most powerful words,
The words that are simplest
And easiest to understand.

A VILLANELLE FOR MOTHER’S DAY

A villanelle for Mother’s Day
Should take me just about an hour:
Writing it is child’s play.

Because I know just what to say,
And rhyming’s quite within my power,
To write it should be child’s play.

Yet plain speech is not my way:
I look for leaves to shade my flower,
This villanelle for Mother’s Day.

I do not wish to sound too fey,
Obscure, mystic, gushy, sour–
Arggh! Writing’s never child’s play!

Yes, childish! To my dismay,
Far beyond the allotted hour,
This villanelle for Mother’s Day

Dawdles on. Let me just say
It plain: I love you, and so end our
Villanelle for Mother’s Day.
(Well … writing it was child’s play.)

BLESS THIS DAY THE JOY OF LIFE

Bless this day the joy of life,
The revelation of the flesh,
The paradise of man and wife
Joined to share the gift of bliss.

Bless this day the pain of life,
The passion that redeems the flesh,
The love between a man and wife
Beyond all agony and bliss.

Bless this day the end of life,
The peace within the dying flesh,
The bond between a man and wife
That long outlasts their bit of bliss.

Bless this day the whole of life,
The grace of being more than flesh,
The voyage of a man and wife
Across the mystery of bliss.

PASSOVER CELEBRATES THAT GLORIOUS DAY

Passover celebrates that glorious day
After the Lord passed over our first born,
Striking out in freedom on that dawn
So long ago, with God to lead the way.
Over 3,000 years have passed since that bright day:
Vicissitudes have died, and new ones born;
Each night of terror brings a brave new dawn,
Recalling us to our eternal way.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY LOVE

Happy birthday to my love!
A sea around my heart:
Part shelter, part enduring word,
Part mirror of my art.
You are the calm that drains my rage,
Bliss upon my shores,
Immensity immutable,
Rush that life restores.
To you I wish to be a welcome
Harbor for your ocean,
Destiny and origin,
Aim of your affection,
Yearning of your motion.
