உன்னால் நான்

என் பெயர் இனிக்கிறது
நீ உச்சரிப்பதால்

என் புலம்பல் பொருட்படுகிறது
நீ அமைதியாய்க் கேட்பதால்

என் பிழைகள் அழகாகின்றன
நீ ரசிப்பதால்

என் கோபம் குழந்தைத்தனமாகிறது
நீ கொஞ்சுவதால்

என் சுமைகள் மெலிகின்றன
நீ நிழலாய் நிற்பதால்

என் கற்பனை நிஜமாகிறது
நீ உயிர் கொடுப்பதால்

நான் குறையற்றவளாகிறேன்
உன் விழிகள் காண்பதால்!

என் வார்த்தை அழுத்தமாகிறது
நீ அக்கறை செலுத்துவதால்

என் கண்ணீர் வைரமாகிறது
நீ ஏந்திக் கொள்வதால்

நான் நிமிர்ந்து நிற்கிறேன்
நீ வளைந்து கொடுப்பதால்

என்னில் அர்த்தம் கொள்கிறேன்
உன்னில் என்னை நீ காட்டுவதால்

என்னில் கர்வம் கொள்கிறேன்
என்னை நீ ஏற்றுக்கொண்டதால்

நான் நானாகிறேன்
என்னொடு நீ இருப்பதால்!

Translation:
Myself, because of you

My name is sweet
because you pronounce it.

My ravings make sense
because you calmly listen to it.

My mistakes are beautiful
because you savor them.

My anger is childish
because of your pampering.

My burden is feather-light
because you stay close to me.

My fantasy looks real
because you give it life.

I am perfect
because your eyes see me!

My words are expressive
because of your sincerity to them.

My tears glitter as diamonds
because you hold them.

I stand tall
because you flexibly accomodate me

I find myself meaningful
because you reflect me

I'm proud of myself
because you accepted me

I am what I am
because you are with me!

Nice one, DD. Lovely lines.

BTW, I had written a similar poem with the same title a few days back. I guess both of us are thinking in the same wavelength these days. What say?

DD..Superb poem man!!..but I am helpless but to point out some spelling mistakes!!..my two pennies worth!!!. There is no thunai otru in the "Nee uyir kodupathaal", the "n"garam in "Karpanai" is the smaller one..not the bigger one as you had put there! and the "R"garam in the "Akkarai" is the bigger one- not the smaller one that you had used here!..:)
