மழைமேகம் / Rain-clouds

Purple Sunset
A purple cloudy sunset by Jeevan

கருமேகம் கண்டு குடை எடுக்க
பரந்த வானில் விரிக்க வழியின்றி,
படபடவென பன்னீர் தெளித்தவாறு
பறந்து போகுது மழைமேகம்.

வெறும் கானல் நீராய்
கண்முன்  காற்றில் கரைந்து போகுது,
மாலை தினமும் மங்கலாய்
வெறும் வறண்ட வானிலையே மீதம் .

At the sight of gray clouds, took the umbrella
on the stretched sky, there’s no way to spread
while it pitter-pattered like rose water spattered
the rain-clouds flew away.

Just like the mirage, clouds
melts away in air in front of the eyes
the daily eventide is dull
while the climate remains just dry. 


P.S. "Rose water spattering" is a kind of gesture to welcome guest at any South Indian festivals.

Isn't it amazing how clouds are ever-changing? How a storm can disappear just as quickly as it arrived?

This poem reflects hope & despair very well. The symbolism with rain and dry climate is excellent.

Hello Jeevan,
Nice photo of the clouds.
BTW - Mazhai May Not Come is the antonym for Mazahi Megham; for those amongst us, who may remember kadi jokes.

Peace :)
