POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I write poems in English as well as in my mother tongue, Malayalam (Kerala, India)
Dying hopes
In this cold and overlong night,
Waiting for the elusive sleep to come,
I lay on this thorny bed all alone, but,
My thoughts are flying around you,
Like a moth encircling the flame.
My wings burnt in the flame of love,
My hopes died between your lips
And my life lost the colour and shine,
I lay in this dingy room, alone and lonely,
Lost in the thoughts of you.
Waiting for the elusive sleep to come,
I lay on this thorny bed all alone, but,
My thoughts are flying around you,
Like a moth encircling the flame.
My wings burnt in the flame of love,
My hopes died between your lips
And my life lost the colour and shine,
I lay in this dingy room, alone and lonely,
Lost in the thoughts of you.

Waiting for the Angel
A doomed soul, abandoned by all and sundry,
Wandering in the wilderness in agony, and
Like a shade ensnared in this dungeon,
Beseeching salvation and redemption.
Amidst the growing chaos and gloom,
And from the enduring sufferings,
Seeking a glimpse of light and warmth,
That only your smile can disseminate.
A denounced soul, lonely and alone,
In this dark and dingy world here,
Waiting for an angel to come to save,
To induce life and breath forever,
And that angel is none, but you ..
......You alone.

To My Love
A smile can light up my world certain,
But you deny me that light often and often,
And look down upon me as mere nonsense,
That hurts my soul in all senses.
If eternity is the time that I have to wait,
I will wait for your love, till that date.
Till the earth and planets crumble down,
My love for you will never go down.
But you deny me that light often and often,
And look down upon me as mere nonsense,
That hurts my soul in all senses.
If eternity is the time that I have to wait,
I will wait for your love, till that date.
Till the earth and planets crumble down,
My love for you will never go down.

Anguish of an Artist
In a cold dingy lonely night,
In the wilderness of the deafening silence,
Desperate and broken, I alone,
Sat before a blank canvas,
Struggling to paint a picture perfect,
With a ruined brush and dried hues.
The strokes went awry and wobbly,
The colours blended messy and bland,
And turned the canvas dark and dull,
Portraying but my paining heart.
In the wilderness of the deafening silence,
Desperate and broken, I alone,
Sat before a blank canvas,
Struggling to paint a picture perfect,
With a ruined brush and dried hues.
The strokes went awry and wobbly,
The colours blended messy and bland,
And turned the canvas dark and dull,
Portraying but my paining heart.

Love is beautiful
Wherever you are, wherever you are,
Lying next to me on the banks of this river or,
Being beyond the seven seas or yonder, but,
I feel you sitting next to me,
Resting your head on my shoulder,
And holding hands together,
Whispering naughty talks to each other,
Oh dear, you are living inside me forever.
Lying next to me on the banks of this river or,
Being beyond the seven seas or yonder, but,
I feel you sitting next to me,
Resting your head on my shoulder,
And holding hands together,
Whispering naughty talks to each other,
Oh dear, you are living inside me forever.

The Magic of Your Smile
This tears cannot take my pain away,
This wind cannot soothe my woes out,
This rain cannot cool me down,
This Sun cannot light my days bright,
This moonlight cannot calm me down,
But your smile can do me wonders, and
Can make my world wonderful.
This wind cannot soothe my woes out,
This rain cannot cool me down,
This Sun cannot light my days bright,
This moonlight cannot calm me down,
But your smile can do me wonders, and
Can make my world wonderful.

To Watch and Learn
That, every moment comes and goes,
That, every wind whistles and passes,
That, every lightning strikes and dies,
That, every flower blossoms and falls
Something is there to watch and learn,
And to learn and to do, and to do it NOW,
For, today belongs to you and me,
But, tomorrow belongs to the GOD.
That, every wind whistles and passes,
That, every lightning strikes and dies,
That, every flower blossoms and falls
Something is there to watch and learn,
And to learn and to do, and to do it NOW,
For, today belongs to you and me,
But, tomorrow belongs to the GOD.

Lover's poem.
My love for you will never drain,
Before the ganges get dry.
My love for you will never go dead
Before the earth stop revolving
My love for you will never get cold
Before the sun gets freeze.
My love for you will be there,
Till my last breath.
Before the ganges get dry.
My love for you will never go dead
Before the earth stop revolving
My love for you will never get cold
Before the sun gets freeze.
My love for you will be there,
Till my last breath.

A dream
The day was cold and dark and dreary,
But the rain and thunder made it lively.
I got up in the middle of a fairy dream,
Still with that feeling of bliss in extreme.
So intense was the dream, that I have had,
It still haunts me like a nymph in rage,
I was on the sea shore, alone and all alone,
Saundering along the beach agaze,
There came a wave, taller than any I ever saw,
And it stood before me as a ghost I never saw.
There came a hand, softer than the foam,
And that took me to the bottom of the sea below.
Lying on the seabed I felt...
But the rain and thunder made it lively.
I got up in the middle of a fairy dream,
Still with that feeling of bliss in extreme.
So intense was the dream, that I have had,
It still haunts me like a nymph in rage,
I was on the sea shore, alone and all alone,
Saundering along the beach agaze,
There came a wave, taller than any I ever saw,
And it stood before me as a ghost I never saw.
There came a hand, softer than the foam,
And that took me to the bottom of the sea below.
Lying on the seabed I felt...

Anguish of a Lost Soul
I am just a blade of grass on a barren land,
Burning for a drop of water to keep alive,
You are but a rain cloud in the sky above,
Brimming with rain and full of life,
Come, come and hit me as hailstones,
Come, come to me and soak me, come,
Pour on me, flood me, and drench me
And quench my thirst for ever, and for ever.
Burning for a drop of water to keep alive,
You are but a rain cloud in the sky above,
Brimming with rain and full of life,
Come, come and hit me as hailstones,
Come, come to me and soak me, come,
Pour on me, flood me, and drench me
And quench my thirst for ever, and for ever.

Love at First Sight
How can I forget the moment that I met you
On the corridor, and that my heart leapt up,
That the words chocked and I lost my voice, or
Forget that radiant smile on your lips, and
That twinkle I saw in your dark blue eyes,
But I knew that love has struck me, then,
And, I fell in love with you at that first sight.
On the corridor, and that my heart leapt up,
That the words chocked and I lost my voice, or
Forget that radiant smile on your lips, and
That twinkle I saw in your dark blue eyes,
But I knew that love has struck me, then,
And, I fell in love with you at that first sight.
