A Flower To Auroville Mother-30
Pavalamalli(Nyctanthes arbotristis) .
Parijatam(Gardenia jasminoides)
Ye darling flowers, I need'd to put in
How much, how much efforts ye know..?
Ye and ye both mythologically akin
Ritually robust, tell me yes or no..?
Yes, Parijatam, ye never been Pavalamalli
Ye Pavalamalli, only you've been Parijatam
Confusedly puzzling out a tiff literally
Between Satyabhama and Rukmini of a conundrum
Not by Pavalamalli but by your name sole
Ye, Parijatam from heaven to earth
Shrubby strengthy fragrant lengthy seasonal
Here but huge aeonian in farther Bharath..
Ye, darling flowers, in my heart heavenly both much
Handful of Parijatams in leathery leafy support
Waxy white to match Pavalamalli sweet so much
Scented with a sindhur-heart, true, close to my heart
