தீண்டி தீண்டி
தீயை மூட்டுகிறாயே
தூண்டி தூண்டி தேனை
ஊட்டுகிறாயே நீயே காதல்
நூலகம் கவிதை நூல்கள்
ஆயிரம் காதல் தீவிரவாதியின்
ஆயுதம் ஆனதே
By touching me repeatedly,
You ignite a fire within me.
By enticing me repeatedly,
You feed me sweet honey.
You are a library of love yourself,
Containing a thousand books of poetry.
You have become the weapon,
Of a love extremist.
தீண்டி தீண்டி
தீயை மூட்டுகிறாயே
தூண்டி தூண்டி தேனை

தொடங்கினால்
கூசும் இடங்களால்
நகங்களே கீறும் படங்களா
Once it begins...
At ticklish, sensitive places,
Are fingernails scratching drawings?
தேகம் என்பதென்ன
ஓர் ஆடை கோபுரம் ஆடை
நழுவும்போது ஓர் காமன்
போர் வரும்
What is the body after all?
A tower covered in garments.
When the clothes slip away,
A battle of Cupid begins.
குறும்புகள்
குறையாது தழும்புகள்
தெரியாது
Playful mischief will not diminish,
No visible scars will be left behind.
கைகள் மேயுது
மேயுது ரேகைகள்
தேயுது
Hands graze and caress continuously,
Until the lines on the palms wear away...
தீண்டி தீண்டி
தீயை மூட்டுகிறாயே
தூண்டி தூண்டி தேனை
ஊட்டுகிறாயே
By touching me repeatedly,
You ignite a fire within me.
By enticing me repeatedly,
You feed me sweet honey.
இருவரே
பார்க்கும் படவிழிலா
திரையிடும் மோக
திருவிழா
A private movie screening seen by only the two of us,
A curtained festival of desire.
காதின் ஓரம்
சாய்ந்து நீ கூந்தல்
கோதிடு போதும் என்ற
போதும் நீ கேட்டு வாதிடு
Leaning close to the edge of the ear,
Stroke and comb your hair.
Even when I say it is enough,
You demand and argue for more.
வேர்வரை
சாய்க்காமல் முதல்
புயல் முடியாது
Without uprooting down to the roots,
The first storm will not end.
காதல் தீவர
தீவர வேர்வையில்
முழுகுது
As love becomes intensely passionate,
It gets drenched in sweat.
தீண்டி தீண்டி
தீயை மூட்டுகிறாயே
தூண்டி தூண்டி தேனை
