Oh sweetheart, what are you doing to me?
You filled me with sweetness and walked away...
Oh sweetheart, what magic are you working on me?
You turned my dark nights bright and walked away...
The sky is opening up wide,
why should I turn my view away?
Everything makes complete sense now,
so why don't you let go of your pouting?
The lies are fading away...
The truth is coming to light...
Calling you just a friend,
my lips keep speaking...
The earth is transforming...
Colors are blooming all around...
Calling you my true love,
my heart keeps whispering...
There is no one, absolutely no one like you
on this earth.
I have fallen into a boundless love
with you.
I hold no conditions or demands,
there are no reasons needed...
Do not ask, for even if told, my ears will not listen...
Mmm... Oh sweetheart, what are you doing to me?
You filled me with sweetness and walked away...
Oh sweetheart, what magic are you working on me?
You turned my dark nights bright and walked away...
Thinking we were opposites and mysteries to each other,
as I kept looking at you and me,
you made yourself a part of my very blood...
Like a dry, withered leaf,
even when I was shedding and falling down,
you gave me wings and lifted me into the sky...
For the very first time,
looking past my clothes and crossing the distance,
you enter straight into my soul without a question...
For the very first time,
seeing my heart, seeing my truth, and gazing into my eyes,
you confess your love...
There is no one, absolutely no one like you
on this earth.
I have fallen into a boundless love
with you.
I hold no conditions or demands,
there are no reasons needed...
Do not ask, for even if told, my ears will not listen...
Mmm... Oh sweetheart, what are you doing to me?
You filled me with sweetness and walked away...
Oh sweetheart, what magic are you working on me?
You turned my dark nights bright and walked away...

Writing craft

Poetic devices

Monai (Initial Assonance/Alliteration)

Idhayanae / Inimaigal / Idhayanae / Iravugal

Repetition of the initial vowel sound 'I' across lines creating melodic flow.

Metaphor (Uruvagamm)

Iravugal vellaiyaakki ponaai..

Turning dark nights into 'white/daylight' symbolizes transforming loneliness and dark moments into hope and clarity.

Edhugai (Second Letter Rhyme) and Imagery

Sarugu sarugu endru ... Siragu siragu thandhu vaanil yetrinaai..

The contrast between 'Sarugu' (dry leaf) and 'Siragu' (wings) uses second-letter rhyming to illustrate a powerful visual transition from falling to soaring.
