Am I the water droplet that reach the ground..

Or nectar that quench the thirst..

Am I the flower fallen to ground..

Or a fruit brought to life..

Am I the rain droplet that join ocean..

Or a pearl formed during swaati constellation..

Am I the nagging pain..

Or the rebuking conscience..

Am I the fading life..

Or broadening wisdom..

Am I the fate that cause hardships..

Or road of life that concieve lasting memories..

Am I the inescapable reality..

Or the perspective that instigate thought..

The memory of that day,

got a smile on my face,

brought jubilance inside me.

The friendship at that tender age,

left a lovely feeling,

attained a dear companion.

O my friend,

In the journey of life, whatever shore we might end up in,

In the struggle for life, whatever stage we might cross,

I will never forget our acquaintance,

I shall never leave your association.

Tholi Kshanam

Ninnu tholi saari choosina aa kshannana
Madilo regenoo madhura bhavana
Yeda koyila aalapinchenoo priyaalaapana
Madi cheseno sudheergha nivedhana
Yenatikaina ninnu cheralani kaligenu naalo aavedhana

Emilenattu nethone matladutunna
Asalemi yeruganatlu ney natistunna
Nee prathi matalo naapai premane vetukuntunna
Ee dooram assalu ney tattukolekunna
Yenatikaina ninnu cheralane parithapistunna

Neetho gadipe prati nimishana
Marentho anubhuthini ney anubhavistunna
Na meeda prema ledeemo anna bhaavana tolustunna
Ninnu veedi kshanamaina ney vundalekunna
Neemeeda prema kaliginchina aa tholi kshananni ney maruvalekunna

The moment I first saw you,

sweet thoughts kindled in my mind,

Inside me cuckoo sand a mellifluous song,

My heart made a prolonged appeal,

lamenting to reach you someday.

Although I talk to you casually,

Even though I act nonchalantly,

In every word of yours, I anticipate love for me,

The distance between us is unbearable,

I yearn to reach you someday.

Every moment I spend with you,

I accrue more feelings for you.

Although the thought that you may not love me is piercing,

even a second, I cannot live with you.

Unforgettable is the first moment I loved you.

Nireekshana

Innella jeevithana ennaduu ledee bhaavana
Tana raaka kori madi chesenoo aalaapana
ye naatikaina tana dari cheralanna naa ee Aavedhana
tananu naa vaddaku cherustundanee naa ee nireekshana

Nannu vidichi vellina oo priyathama
doora teerana unna oh sneha bandhamaa
Tarali raava ikapai ohh nesthama
Nee aagamananni choope aa subha dinam korake naa ee nireekshana

Never had I experienced this feeling in so many years of my life,

my heart is craving to reach him someday,

The craving to reach him someday,

will bring him closer to me is my anticipation.

Deserted me, my love..

Residing in far away shore, my dear..

Come back, my friend...

Only for the auspicious day of your return, is my anticipation..

Bhavam ---- my first poem ever

Ningini takalani .. Egase alaloni aasanu ...
Alanu takalani aasatho aade papayi navvuloni aanandanni
Kannapillala kerinthalanu choosi aanandinche amma premaloni madhuryanni
Priyudi prema kosam allade preyasi loni tapananu
Kannavallaki dooramaina vaaru anubhavinche badhanu
Nenu marevaro kaadu .. nee mansuloni bhavanni .....

I am the hope in a tide trying to reaching for the sky,

I am the joy in the laugh a kid trying to seize the tide,

I am the sweetness in a mother's love delighted in her kid's joy,

I am the flutter in a woman's heart waiting for her man,

I am the pain in the children deprived of their parent's love,

I am nothing but the feeling in you.
