Chennaiyil oru Mazhailkalam!!!

I feel the cold breeze caress my cheek

like the freezing wind on a mountain peak,

waking me from my sleep.

I had slept long and deep.

Unwillingly i open my eyes for a day never so nice!

The sky was dimly lit,

the weather so fine and fit!

The sun rays filtered and thin

and the chill tingling my skin.

I have the blanket pulled over;

no, my night still aint over.

hmmm...this aroma of cafine,

takes cloud nine!!

Its eight on the clock;

hatedly open my lids' lock.

With the mug I sit in balcony

thinking of my honey...

I see the sun slowly peeping

gold as the corn for reaping.

The rays are soft and mild

unlike the usual hot and wild.

Still hanging is the foggy screen.

The leaves are fresh and green.

droplets on them shining like pearl

as cute as acne of my gorgeous girl!

The dew on the flowers all wet,

like her beads of sweat!

The weather is fine and cold.

Fills me a joy untold

when i recall i am in Chennai,

the city famous for the Eye.

for a place of never endind heat,

these cold days are a awaited treat!!!

Hard to get is the elusive monsoon;

please please dont end all very soon.

Hey its Chennaiyil oru Mazhaikalam!!!!
