Poem : Becometh

Becometh 

Show me the generous chambers of thy heart,

Let me choose if we need to drift apart.

Show me the measureless depths of thy soul,

Let me seal the abyss with elixir console.

Show me the tempestuous sea of thy eyes,

Let us together float over the lows and highs.

Show me the tranquil zeal of thy embrace,

Let us remain so in this timeless space.

For now it’s no more solely about thee and me,

From this day on it’s absolutely becometh us and we.

I only feverishly hope thee will return ere long,

To the melodious theme of life’s only exquisite song.

Poem : Fallen Nest

Fallen Nest

They met and decided to build a nest

Together they collected twigs and threads.

When the perfect abode was thus done

They went on to gather dreams and memoirs.

First came the sun and then the moon

Followed by spring that brought bees along.

Their world was as wide as the nest

But could be crossed with just two breaths.

Then came the storms and the rains

Little droplets that rolled up to create orbs.

It shook both the nest and the hearts within

Clefts formed that minds could no longer cross.

One flew off and the other decide to quit

Empty of love, the nest began to shrink

Out came the sun and then the moon

And beheld what was left of the fallen nest.

Poem : A walk to the bygones and back

A walk to the bygones and back

I am forced to pause and take a deliberate turn

A not-much desired walk down the memory lane.

For I am tired and frayed, I lately came to learn

I did rather drift along the trail than fight all in vain.

And so began the passage to those forgotten bygones

Frames lingered on scented springs and incensed summers.

Landscapes once vivid and flawless, appear now as faded lawns

Yet I dare not pause to heed to the au fait murmurs.

Stark whites, rich blacks and shades of neutral grey

Were there so many shades in my time? I stand and wonder.

With every hue in the spectrum spattered on the way

Bringing on nostalgic kites that dwindle into wide blue yonder.

Fingers that I tightly held during my first ever steps

Shoulders that rested my head when the heart quivered with fret.

Lips that brushed my cheeks at times of enormous depths

Arms that snuggled me up when I was cold with sweat.

Then I reach the end, which once used to be the beginning

And so here the path ends, with no other turn but one.

I must now walk back to the present inning

For I am now allowed only a glimpse of none.

We all shall halt for a moment at the cliff's farthest end

Then may choose to gently slide, quickly jump or calmly soar.

Final choices rest within us to make and fend

For here begins the journey to the unknown core.

Poem : Hope Stands Alone....But Stands!

There on the endless sands of time,

You shall find countless footprints by life,

Some deep, some oh! so shallow,

Some green and some so very yellow.

Many behind rocks and abandoned shells ,

Some in packs and some agonisingly solo, 

Then they may vary in means and in way

But all headed for the same inevitable bay.

Some locked in coves of beating hearts,

Some shoved under worn out memoirs,

Several washed away by waves of thoughts,

Nonetheless, the gravels of hope remains past doubts.

Perished castles and empty seashells,

Glistening shingles and chips of marbles,

Reminiscences of those who walked the lengths,

With humour and grit, with spirits and strengths.  

Yet, the waves rush to kiss the shores - amid intense storms,

For every crest has a trench and after every dawn comes a dusk,

Like every being has a certain wraith

So here lingers the eternal oath of faith.

Poem : Will you?

Will you reach out to the stars that shine

And pluck out the brightest pair? 

I shall let them rest in my eyes forever

And your eyes will see the world in mine.

Will you seize the winds that whine

And curl them around my hair?

I shall let them hide my face wherever

And your fingers will tuck them behind my ears.

Will you grab the reds off the rainbow

And dab them on my cheeks? 

I shall lift my chin very high so ever

And your lips will find your way to mine.

Poem : Lonely Silhouette

Why does your memories still sting the eyes?

This is not what they said will ensue.

Time’s supposed to wave the mystic wand

And sweep the reminiscences far from pursue.

Your silhouette on the mind’s so very deep perhaps……?

Poem : Until Perhaps Eternity Ends

And another month goes by!

..................and counting still.

The pain is still as intense,

The wound is still as raw,

The vaccum remains unfathomable.

I hope it stays that way for ever.

I don't want time to heal this,

I don't want you to disappear behind the realm of forgotten memories.

I want you to live on in our hearts,

I want each one of us to remember you everyday.

Until perhaps eternity ends!!!

Poem : If Only

If only I could take away the grayness

And return the memories instead.

If only I could take away the dread

And return the confidence instead.

If only I could take away the stumble

And return the steadiness instead.

If only I could take away the languor 

And return the vitality instead.

If only I could freeze the wheels.

If only I could pause the advent.

If only .....if only.....

Poem : Loss

What's with this universal randomness?

Why does it target seemingly innocent souls?

Am I an idiot to search for logic within?

I hate this unfair distribution of badness.

But I need to keep my faith intact.

Alas! That's the only survival technique I mastered infact.

Poem : Ponderings

Yesterdays and the moments that just dropped away,
Are synonyms of prodigious loss.

Impending moments and the tomorrows they will together make,
Are at times colossal wings of hope,
And at other times, undulating billows of uncertainty.

This very moment is the sole universal truth on existence.
Alas, that's gone too......

ഇന്നലകളും, ദേ ഇപ്പൊ കൊഴിഞ്ഞ ഈ നിമിഷവും,
ബ്രിഹത്തായ നഷ്ട്ടത്തിന്റെ സമാനാർത്ഥങ്ങൾ .

ഇന്നി വരാനിരിക്കുന്ന നിമിഷങ്ങളും, അവ കൂടിചേർന്നുണ്ടാകുന്ന നാളെകളും,
ചിലപ്പോൾ പ്രതീക്ഷയുടെ ജടായു ചിറകുകൾ,
മറ്റു ചിലപ്പോൾ ആശങ്കയുടെ ധൂമപടലങ്ങൾ.

ഈ ഒരു നിമിഷം മാത്രമാണ് അസ്തിത്വത്തിന്റെ വിശ്വജനീനമായ സാക്ഷ്യം.
ദേ, അതും പോയി മറഞ്ഞിരിക്കുന്നു......
