സ്നേഹവും ജീവിതവും (Snehavum Jeevithavum)

 Hmangaina patzai phierkhawmna hringnun hruolhrui,

Pawldel ruo ienga kâr lova bo nâwk el dingah;

Pâr bila khuoi chawng chên angin,

Nunkhuo ei phâm, hnuoi lawmna tawi sienkhawm.


Mûtmaleng ienga thli imut lên angin,

Hmangaina zawngin mani hmun seng panin;

Bepil ienga derdêp, ei zawng le hnawt,

Puon ang chula, lungriem ithlakna chau.


A derdêpna chun thilthawtheina um siin,

Rawsur zova pârte pâr suok ang hin;

Hmangaitu ṭangah ei hlutna ei hmu si,

Ei lunghlu cho suok, mi suk kimtu chu.


Sûm zîng anga bo nâwk el hlak hringna le hmangaina,

Hlun lo hin a hlutna a suk zuol si chun;

Pawm thiem ka tih khuo vang ri khamsa hi,

Hringnun thilpêk, hmangaina hlu.

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
