Hawilo-pâr thliek ṭhel


Thangvân sânga sûm inlêngvêl ha'n,

Chulram fang di'n an mi ko.

In ta hnung hrietna hung thoin,

Ditthlang thei loin ka zui.


Ka nei po po inhlâna i bân chel khan,

A awi ngei ka lunglai rûk.

Khawvêlin kei di'n a parmawi a'n suo,

I mi lêngpuina ramah, Sieli.


Sungril lawmna hrilin siek  sien,

Lungthuo a hin ker ka tih.

Zîng tinin buon lang khawm,

Zo naw ning buonpil chang chen khawmin.


A bul umin tâwpna a nei angin,

Lampui ngîl tak chun rawl bang a baw.

"Chel tlat e" ti zing siin

Sûm tui pâinaw iengin thli i zui.


Chuoilo-pâr a chuoina hring khawvêlah,

Thawidam ka tih ka lunglai hi;

Khawvêl pârmawihai khawm hi,

Hlun lo an ni leia mawi an ni lem si.

Expectation: A lament

The weather app showed rain, Sally’s been praying for days. The heat had bound her like a chain; The heat cycle ran like a maze. The rain did not arrive. The app was wrong again. Like a watchman she stayed till five Expectation only brings pain. Expectation, like comparison, drains the mind. I’ve slain a lamb in expectation.  My sheep’s clothing made me blind. Is this a dream or just imagination? The rain will not come, nor will the harvest; The toil must start, the soil prepared. When songs arise through the forest, The harvest will again be shared.  Ebbtide Thlaṭau 09, 2026

My forever home

  If one could measure beauty, The moon in her ethereal shimmer, Or the stars in their dazzling charm, Or nature in her rustic elegance, All would tip her scales. If one could measure love, Her grace-laden love would, Outweigh them all. For the moons and stars and nature, Love is a word they do not know. Like a bee to a flower, So am I to her love. Like a mercy’s doorway for a stranger, Deep and boundless. And I belong.  My forever home. Eventide 02 Thlahmur, 2025

Lachrymose

  When winds and waves, in mimic strife, Clash and roar like war come to life, You calm this troubled-headed man, His war-torn soul protected from bloodshed. How I wish the cold winter nights would never end, Like stories by the hearth, with no parting bell tolled. But to slow down time, we could only pretend, For nights, like life and time, do not last forever. Three thousand useless miles now keep us apart, Yet this heart yearns for your presence, Like a little boy by his mother’s side, For in those two eyes, I found my home. Eventide Thlavul 06, 2025
