Love’s Pilgrimage: Suja M.R’s Premayanam

In her latest offering, പ്രേമായനം (Premayanam), renowned young poet Suja M.R. invites readers into a luminous journey of love—one that carries both the intimacy of personal emotion and the devotional undertone of a pilgrimage. “Love’s Pilgrimage,” suggests a sacred passage where affection transforms into transcendence, echoing the timeless rhythm of human longing and spiritual resonance.

Suja M.R. has already carved a vibrant space in contemporary Malayalam literature, her voice flowing through leading platforms like Mathrubhumi, Indian Express Malayalam, Madhyamam, Pachakuthira, and Prasadhakan.

Her earlier works—Chila Kadalukal, Aa Penninte Pala Maram, Neeyezhuth, Njaaneyezhuth, and Kathironte Pakal—stand as lyrical testaments to her sensitivity and modern poetic vision. With Premayanam, she deepens this trajectory, weaving verses that shimmer with both tenderness and devotion.

It is a poem that not only enriches her oeuvre but also affirms her place as one of the most gifted young voices shaping the literary landscape today.

Now shared for publication, Premayanam arrives alongside its translated version, extending her reach to wider audiences while preserving the cadence of the original Malayalam.

Suja M R/ Love’s Pilgrimage

Love’s Pilgrimage

by Suja M R

The softness of fingers that race across skin,
A sorcery that sinks into the soul.🍂🍂
Planting kisses along the length of a body,
Collapsing breathless against the chest,
In the delirious swings of ecstasy’s hour,
Hiding a face, drunk on intimacy,
Still unsated by tender caresses,
Melting, moist-eyed, into each other.😍😍

Why should that astonish?
In the rush of breath,
We are two eyelids, closed into one.🍁🍁

When you, with grace, poured joy like love
Into the furrows of my living self,
Was it not that love—bursting its banks—
That rerouted all the wild, budding dreams
Of my stormy nights,
And spread color across my world
With an alchemy of its own?🍂🍂

Now the season of flowers has arrived—
The sweet, kind mood of love.
On the mountain peaks of your love,
The very physics of how you shaped me,
The honeyed form of memories steeped in it,
The soft radiance of sunlit motes.
Yes, that beautiful, living world
Is springing forth tender, green-coconut dreams.😍😍
