MARIA, O MARIA

MARIA, O' MARIA 
Tonight you’ll be 
A humming song
My sky
My river 
My dream
All I ‘ve kept in your arm
MARIA, O' MARIA 
Don’t go away 
Rebuking me and muttering  cowherd retorts
With what words shall I curse you
Will you tell me the secret of drying up with passion
The water of the pond..
The sun burnt days of searching touch 
Ah ‘ you may not like those  curses and swears 
Simple verbal game 
Or, a day in Munnar*
Your swear 
Your’s, your’s   and
Your’s 
MARIA, O' MARIA 
I ‘ve been running after 
Fire blossoms for some days
Eyes burning like amber
Hovering in ditch or swallow land
Hither and thither 
I shall go anywhere 
Feel as if I could peel away shudderingly 
A  sky 
MARIA, O' MARIA 
I‘ve kept in your palm
A  sun like an amber.
NIMMY WILLY
