Somu's Scribbling Pad: My list of divine ragas [Poem]

The sound of waves kissing the shore,

Sometimes even my loved ones snore,

The googoos and gaagaas a baby mutters,

Are bliss that can make my heart go flutter.

The creaking noise of the crickets in dark,

The twinkle I hear when her smile sparks,

The myna and even the cuckoo’s chirpings, 

Have no bounds to the joys they can bring.

Music of Illayaraja, and his 80s hits,

Nothing matches up when she hums it.

Rustle in the leaves, whistle in the breeze,

Can you think of compositions better than these!  

Every word that break out of her lips,

Her every word though it may have a lisp,

Even the sound of her inhibited silence,

all sent from heaven to fill up my sense.
