This section is entitled "English Literature", but there are no "English" poems! Why not encourage Tamil/Indian writers of English poetry to contribute their poems to this forum? To start the trend, let me post a poem written in English:

LOVE ETERNAL

Silent she waits on the shores of Time
Awaiting her Eternal Lover,
Her tresses, kissed by the gentle zephyr,
Search here, now there,
Then fall back in silent anguish.

Her heart sighs, calls; but her Kannan is deaf,
His ears, attuned to the lute,
And his eyes wandering on the lake --
His Self is in Eternity,
Mingling with the Soul of the Cosmic.

Kanna, she cries, for Thee I wait for ever,
Though Thou forsake me, oblivious,
Yet I wait for Thee;
Thy name perpetual on my lips,
Thy love perennial in my bosom.

Wherever I glance, Thee I behold,
Every whisper of the flowing breeze thy voice:
I seek to embrace Thy form, to kiss Thy lips,
But my search doth always end --
In mine own heart.
