What to Write!

What to write

I don’t know

Not even a single word

To write something.


What should I write,

Of exams,of mangoes,

Of people,of trees

What should I choose?


What to write!

What to write!

Then I knew ,the subject was

'WHAT TO WRITE'!.

    Hoi Suruma. Your Pop and Mom call you Suruma, don't they? I should have guessed at the beginning itself. Your blog itself is called 'Suruma Writes On...' And all the while I was calling you Jasmine (probably your name in school, am I right?). My brain is a little slow. It is used to be as fast as yours when I was young...
    But that is not the subject I wanted to write on. It is about your new poem. Are you some kind of a magician? Only magicians can bring out something from nothing. I have seen them producing rabbits out of hats. A wave of the magic wand and suddenly, wonder of wonders, there is a rabbit with long ears jumping out of a hat. Exactly like that you have written a beautiful poem with no subject at all. Congragulations!!! Keep writing. Everything is subject for a poem if you look at it with beautiful eyes. Your father, mother, friend, cat, donkey... Of course, they do not look similar. But you can write poems on each one of them in different ways.
    Venu Uncle.

Your gold bangles chime against the bristle of the leaves, tender By the blooming verges of the winding river, your anklets sing.   Asma did not have to race against time to scribble the words on her worn out state bank of India 2005 diary this once. She knew what was coming.   Beneath the pale moonlit sky, your gentle smile shimmers Your silken drape quivers in the soft midnight breeze.   Thaamasamenthe varuvaan praanasakhi ente munnil What keeps you from my side, O companion of my breath! The words were clear against the yellowing pages of the 2005 diary; unlike the last song. A broken ente swapnathin in one line, a neelathamara in the next. Perhaps the blind singer who sits by the beach will sing it another day. Or Asma will ask her to. She can fill the missing words then like an old class test. For Iqbal doctor, Asma’s race against the blind singer’s old Malayalam songs was a class test in memory. She’s been losing it. Last Monday, Iqbal doctor ...

  ummumma's steel mug of chai was always more sugar than chai. like my words that are always more pauses than words. i carry their weight in me; a slouch from silence. Bismillah, ummumma mutters audibly when she gets to her chai. i swallow bismillahs along with mine. the embarassment of words minces with my bismillahs and alhamdulillahs. ummumma taught me to sweeten what I detested. the occasional milk, the chutney the shade of my skin colour crayon, the cough syrups thick and pink. and i, like the copious amounts of sugar ummumma compensated my distaste with, use pauses to sweeten the bitterness of words. on days the old oats container runs out of sugar, ummumma's steel mug sits in a corner of our kitchen, desired but untouched. When the silence in my sounds run out, I hope my words catch dust, dying slow deaths of unfulfilled longings - desired, but untouched.
