The knight of Kochi
Blessed with eternal Bliss
This BOY bestows the blessed bliss
For self and souls surround
Since many years around....

Characterized as a person in  guise
Of eighth incarnation of the divinity his name carries..
Passionate look and appealing charm
Spiked many a hearts...
Had to resist and desist many romantic arrows aimed to his heart..

Several arrows of passion  emanated
from his heart's bow...
At divergent angles .. different zones
Some hit straight , some went low
But finally hit "Bindu" getting bonded
And the game of arrows ended..

Enthusiastic warrior...still wages wars on cricket fields
Bringing laurels to him and teams
Passionate about fashion and style
Yet heads trusts to help those suffer in real..

ANAND NARAYANAN .....
The knight of Kochi....
wish always remain The ageless knight.....
Blessed with eternal bliss!!

Your smile
In your signature smile
I fell too deep..
Now
The Universe in view
For me is you !!
112 · Apr 2023
Water works
Offended in depth
Propels crystal waterworks
Shining bright and clear
At  corners of oculus either side
Holding on from downfall
As frightened  to crumble on fall
much like me…,
not ready to fall
for any one’s sake….!!

A solo walk
Down through corridors
And lanes of memories
Goes my mind on solo walk
Pricking heart letting tears roll
Remembering moments of pain
so long ago yet so painful still...
Yearning for an early fade
From thoughts and memories !!
Twinkling eyes lends a glow to smile
Rejoicing sweetness of moments
Wish it had lasted forever..
Mind craves for a magical wand
to reverse few moments
That happened otherway...
To cherish again. ...
On my walks through
Corridors of memories!!

Home
Shielded me  from the scorching heat
Giving warmth in the smoky winter
Held me  steady in the turbulent storms
By the ways you held me tight ..
At the home I have found ...
In the middle of your heart . ....!!

Hold to swing
Standing on  top of the world
Shouting from bottom of the heart
Holding you tight to the core
Beyond which impossible for more
To  show world that’s deaf and blind
Of how much I adore  you…..
Be aware,  on your hold
Swings my life, either
to shine like a lively star atop
Or fall like a burnt charcoal dead
deep down !!

Silence ...silenced
Umpteen reasons behind the silence
Yet gets silenced time and again..
crossing fountains of fudges
borne enough in abundance...
As mind fancies your image..
With accompanying twists of dance
to tunes of beats the breeze delivers
from the  far end of world...
Proving again.....egolessness
in the care for the soul it adores !!

Prayers
Between  prayers and tears
Is heard the whispers
uttered in tune so low ..
by melancholic mind...
Understood by none
than the resident there.....

Gloomy togetherness
Life seems beautiful when
I see you smile
Though apart thousands of mile
Life seems ugly when
there is gloom on your face
Even when we are together at a place..
110 · Oct 2023
on a change...
An over long  hustle and bustle
Tends Mind to yearn a hush
As it seeks a way - A path to maturity
Where wisdom holds sway
For a journey of inward flow
Searching purpose of soul
And cognizing  design  of life…!!

Life’s ebbs and flows guides me  to wake
As consciousness dawns within
Like radiant sun, edging out
the ignorance prevailing in and out
embracing the truth
And the essence of life !!
  
Vowing  to forsake , toxic talks and choice
I embrace silent moments
With stillness in thoughts
Letting spirit rise higher and higher
To become a better person,  as I aspire
with grace, In this sacred space of life!!

Floating in harmony
Mind and heart
float in harmony
along with thoughts
comforting  a feel  
of your presence ...
but, never quite often felt
is  the hold on hand..
that gives a vibe
of being cared…..

Crying heart ..
Fuming mind
Steaming eyes
Absorbing mask...
Seen by none....
Except
The crying heart!!
106 · Feb 2022
Fever
Nostrils clash gifting breathlessness...
Twists and turns lends sleeplessness....
Though on cosy comforts for a
peaceful slumber ....!!
And then ..
Interference of inhalers and steams
Aid in clearing war within nasal base
And  a feeling of relief  surrounds..
Though it's a bit away from feeling afresh !!

k-e-r-a-l-a
Beneath the swaying trees
Where rivers flow silently,
a tale unfolds, as old as the sun.
In God's own country,
where hearts are kind- a partial truth
A mystery lingers in the collective mind.
Of the plethora of wealth that flows in
from lands afar middle east and west.
Yet, some say, the bowl is still empty
With a need for pleading on the loose!!
who are responsible?
With nothing Right and Left to ruins
sightless of lotus bloom
Is it the rulers, with vision unclear
Or silent voices, we struggle to hear?
Where are the famed heaps of wealth?
Of the land, now with begging bowl
it pains on labels, harsh and unkind.
On this land of beauty and endless charm !!
Let the ample fields where spices grow
Make the state, grow and glow
Weaving a story of hope, new and bold
where the future can unfold…
to rise above and find its calm.
for resilience to shine on every face !!

Scent of you
Whole of me is devoted to you
much like a doll
dancing to your moves...
Cheerfully smiling through
Though bleeding deep within....
In the wait for a scent of you
least from far....
For me to stay alive !!
105 · Jan 2023
Wasted life
Endless circles of act,
one after another
Without a thought
or a re-thought
Just got to  get wasted..
the spirals of knowledge
acquired with pain, lying
Un awakened... Unused!!
And there's  neither a sign
nor a signature ....
Of my existence....
so long.....so painfully !!

candle
At dim-lit room’s corner
shines a candle bright
embracing its own doom.
life so tender of wax and wick
Yet, rendering un-definable warmth
no matter what of occasions.
An Altruistic flame on flickering dance
Glows for others, for others it shines !!
But does it weep in silence?
Secrets of sorrow kept alone to self.
who remembers the candle?
Who feels its plight?
as flames begin to fade
As it, self annihilates!!
Who values its sacrifice?  
Of burn for others and lay down life?
Not for any acclaim
But, for fulfilling life’s purpose!!
Will the candle’s legacy live?
In memories warm and stories bright?
When darkness falls
And there’s a candle ready to glow!!

Skills...
Inborn talents suppressed deep
Under the layers of cornerstone
With feelings of repression
Flowing like river of red all through
Fighting wars within self
And conceding defeat everyday
As barter for harmony to surround !!
Yet ..
At time that's so perfect...
The Mighty's hand extends
To nurture concealed skills
letting the soul sing a song of joy
And float on the flow of life
To destination satisfaction!!

Rising sun
Shining moon
Glittering stars

CLOUDED MIND
Clouds on the sky
Cast spell on mind
Bright joyous mood
Turned blurred

Tears rolling down
Like downpour from sky
Bold voice of mine
Seem heard loud
only in silence…

cloud moves..
heart rejoices..
102 · Jun 2021
Heal
Knock down by furious fate
Let teary eyes turn around
For hands to hold tight
From falling apart...!!

Smoke from sorrows
Cast it's spell on night sleep
Eyes robbed of soothing heal
Yearned  to hear cradle songs
To sleep in peace!!

As stood in darkness
Burning soul shedding invisible tears
Craved for a candle light
And a gentle rain !!

Held upright by caring hands
Singing lullabies for tranquil sleep
Bearing happy lights all through
I see you stand.. ......as God!!
Or Are you God send  ??!!

Dark is my colour
‘Black is my happy color’, they say,
Yet would they choose to be as dark as dusk?
‘Black is more than a color; it’s a mood’,
Would they embrace it, as their skin’s shade?

Weight of rejection, often, made me feel
Of being measured, visibly and invisibly,
The shade of my skin, being far left on the scale,
Where fairness reigns, and darkness seems to fail.

Harsh childhood days, a test of my heart,
Ignored, overlooked, sidelined, unchosen
Tears became friends, as it understood my pain,
And the bias flowed-
Like a pricking endless chain.

In a circle of family, I stood alone,
The odd one out, on skin tone
Elders whispered worries of my fate,
As my color would determine my state.

But amidst it all, my mother stood by me
Like A crow sees gold in its child’s wings,
As in her eyes, I was, more than anything
With love in her eyes, she silenced my fear.

I found my strength in a different way.
Finding out “Beauty is only skin deep”
Casting aside, the stigma of darkness
My confidence grew, as I embraced-
My skin - like the only shade I knew.

As In the beauty of night, in shadows deep,
There’s a power in black that makes hearts leap.
For darkness holds mystery, beauty untold,
And in my dark skin, I find my soul’s gold…

Emptiness...
Frightening  howls from far end of night
Haunted  her mind with wild thoughts
Sending cold vibes across her mind and body..
As she lay there with eyes closed
Adding  darkness  to her darkened world….

Hoping for  ray of moon to touch her  paining mind
Offering a soothing light to heal wounds of her soul
Inflicted by rough knifed words that slit her bones
Causing pain more than broken glass
Cutting her tender skin…
 
With hope she sleeps with half mind open
Waiting for sun to shine above her head
To walk straight in bright light  free from fear of losing him...
And walk with emptiness
Than bear the love for some one
Who has almost killed her and left her!!
She is now a free bird....
Ready to fly again high ...

Hibiscus
Bright red hibiscus buds
Eager to bloom , smile in shyness
In night's darkness , yet glowing
Under the golden moon !!

Glossy red frills of blossomed flowers
Sway in buzzing breeze in adorable style
On cheery fulfillment of  life
Under the million rays of mid noon sun !!

In the earth's spin withered flowers lay fallen
With neither smile nor glow ..
But still, there are golden lights
And diamond rays, as always .....
And life continues....

Trident
Cosmic dancer adorned with ash
Being the beginning and the End
the form of father and mother
You, my Lord, my Universe !!
Of Creator, preserver and destroyer
My mind always falls for the destroyer
of thoughts and deeds wild and weird.
The destroyer of dreadfulness around
With tangled locks and Ganges in flow
Wearing Crescent moon’s golden glow
Serpents twining around neck
Meditating in still, profoundly deep
From third eye, wisdom's fire does leap !!
With trident in hand,  drums that  beat
your fierce form, often misunderstood
Yet in your benevolence, lies the world's fate!!
Mahadev! Your grace is my ultimate state.
Every breath of mine is a gift from you
And every breath sings your praise and fame
You are the timeless one, beyond all ages!!

Spicing up
While water boiled in the sauce pan
I viewed through the window panes
At the  rains falling in arrogance
And  the Earth bearing it in silence ...!!

Green trees around enjoyed the shower..
As tiny birds onto nests, themselves retired !!
Taste buds yearned for a hot cup of tea
With spices added in plenty....!!

The noisy furious  wind blew ..
Spicing up the monsoon woes !!
97 · Jun 2021
Colours of life
The day her dark hazel eyes
Met him under  grey cloudy sky
White illusional thoughts
Set in her baby pink heart
Scribbling  violet violent romantic words
That "you are mine "!!

Grew up in green and glow
Bright yellow dreams filled with his ****** and care
Blushed in purple under fictional world
Of  "you me and love " !!

Changeless attitude in pitch black  scorn and slur
Angered her to shiver in red
Yet, back as cool as blue placid waters
Flowing as dazzling maroon stream in thoughts
Of " still I love you" !!

Drained emotions turned her brown  
As dead fallen leaves with little silvery hope
For a soothing touch from his golden hands
She whispered to herself
" Thank you for my colourful life"
96 · Aug 2021
Lush green love
Somewhere...
Among the woods of  lofty thoughts
In the charms of your lush green love
Beats of my heart loses its rhythm
Struggling  hard to find it's path
Of missed beats and lost ways...
In your dreams !!

Vacations of childhood
In a dream home, a palace stood,
Ruled by love and riches, understood.
Children and grandchildren were showered
With lavish blessings, their lives empowered.

The Emperor and his queen, my grandparents dear,
Their presence to me, forever clear.
Childhood vacations, moments of glee,
Clashes and laughter, a family spree.

Lessons of life, from nature and kin,
Each day a new learning, deep within.
Ripened mangoes and crushed tamarind,
Seeking tastes unique, a joy we'd find.

Games played in scorching summer heat,
No care for the sun's relentless beat.
Monsoon rains brought joy untold,
Together we'd dance, drenched and bold.

Steamy tapioca, tea to beat the cold,
Rain watched through windows, stories unfold.
Watery roads, drenched trees in view,
The mesmerizing rain, a picturesque hue.

Years passed, togetherness rare,
Kinsfolk scattered, distant to share.
The Emperor and his queen, now at rest,
The house still stands, memories etched in its chest.

Loyal
Standing  tall and stable,  
With no branches broken
And no trunks scattered
But intact with loyalty,
forever bound, even in wildest storm!!

A character like rare,
precious gem...
Through tests and trials
proved time and again,
marking  loyalty at its  core !!

As many stories unfold..
Like a lamp of trust
and  light,  in sight..
it gleams , surrounded by hues
Of black and white...!!

A lifestyle never forged..
But living  like a dream
With no compromise.
But completely true
having no veiled lies.. !!

A choice made deep within.
To be true to self  !!
94 · Jul 2020
Experiencing floods..
Surrounded by the ocean and sea
Lies the beautiful piece of land 
So Serene and beautiful
Deemed to be God's own country !!

Deemed God's own
Seemed occupied
with people devil's own..
With lack of love and harmony..

God set to  test the future
Of man helpless before nature..
Downpour started without an end
With a message God send...
Disaster!!

God's own country was in floods 
With suffering so boundless
People without food and home
Making camps  their home.. 

Self help , mutual help 
Community help ,became the slogan...
No loss allowed to happen..
Care , love and sharing shone....

So too the face of God..
Love  harmony and humanity  prevailed
Downpour subsided... 
Country again became God's own country. 

People called themselves GOD'S OWN PEOPLE!!

Sharing ...
Rain drenched trees
In  green groove
Stood boastfully holding
drops of happiness!!

A walk up for handshake
With a smile broad of care
To  Gleefully residing trees...
Drenched me with showers
Of heavenly little drops of water
They held in them to offer!!

Lesson taught with warmth
In chilling rain...
From nature rain and trees
Happiness be shared
With ones you are cared!!!

Walking
Remembering  those days
Of  easy breezy walks to college
Fitting into different colored dresses
That matched with variety hair styles
But face looking  still the same…..

Walked happily and smiling broadly
At faces grinning as well frowning
Talking boldly to some 
And to few remaining mum

Meeting friends on paths
And passing comments at large
Yet walking happily together
With a song in heart…….

It’ was a lively walk….
And now a nostalgic walk!
92 · Aug 2020
When not needed
I don't like to fit in
Where I'm not needed
Be it the world or your heart
Though both mean the same to me.
91 · Oct 2020
Life goes on...
Fluttering sound of raindrops
Flickering lamp light at backdrop
Opened the shutters of my mind
To incessant flow of utterly
ambivalent feelings…..

Glittering memories rolling over past
Wilting  happenings of present
And flattering bright hopes of future!!

And at the far end ...
Lies dried up leaves withered down
Greeny grown up leaves on trees drenching in rain
With tiny leaves sprouting out...

Hopefully....life flows on !!
90 · Oct 2020
faded ...
Through  paths i walked
fragrant flowers of love
That coloured my dreams
Had always surprised me!

But  now i walk
on the lonely way
With dried up leaves
And flowers  of love
Withered.....
bringing in me
The pain deep hiden...
Of memories of past walk !

Colours and Scents of love
And the scenes on my path
Has faded......
Where am I heading to
All alone.....with silence
Alive everywhere!
90 · Jul 2021
Eyes..
Through her two twinkling eyes
I see tens and thousands of rays
With brightness of  million suns
Reflecting the zillion dreams
Flowering in her lone
broad dazzling mind…
90 · Jul 2020
Your reactions
I gave you my mind
Left as never mind.
I lived my life for you
Found no value
I took you as my world
Never observed it
I had You  in my dreams
Dismissed as crazy
I mended my ways for you
Discovered unwanted
I tried to read your heart
But then  realized its absence there..
I searched for your heart everywhere
But found it somewhere
With someone else .....
I loved you so much
But you gave me pain that much
Still love you
Bearing all the pain without you ..
For my love is unconditional......
89 · Dec 2020
Simple..me !
Burdens I carry
As thoughts , worries
and sadness..
All belong to me, solely
With least desire to share it
With anyone....
either near or dear!!
Lessons they are
That make me realise
Colors true of all
Understand realities
And priorities...
And where I stand
In one's view !!
Hope gives colours
To dreams ...
Yet  often feel broken . .
Though I gather
Myself...
to be me again!!
The simple me!!
89 · Dec 2020
Just like that...
I tried to read
Lines on me
In the book of your mind..
Turned the pages
Back and forth
Innocently curious
To see it in bold letters..
But alas...
Where are those words on me??
That my eyes searched for..
My mind yearned to read..
And my heart eager to rejoice !!
Am I not in your world?
Or did I miss read you?
Who am I to you?
Just a someone  .. ???
89 · Jun 2020
Your styled kiss
On my little uncolored lips
I felt a press of your powerful lips
Little did I know it was a kiss
One of your styled romantic kiss….
Until it took away my breath
Drowning me underneath.
88 · Jul 2020
I stand there....
I stand there
Where you left me....

Untouched ....
From then...
Till now ...

Spending my days and nights
Dreaming to  merge with you....
Like a river that keeps flowing
To merge with the ocean...
88 · Dec 2020
Stars...
Innumerable wishes
That I threw off my mind
Lay scattered on the sky
Shining and smiling at me
As twinkling stars. .. ..!!
88 · Jul 2020
Blood red rubies
You left me for no reason
I was let to hurt for your treason
Felt like almost lost
cried lonely without halt
Stacked and stilled the tears of my eyes
Melded with broiling blood of my heart
Forming a string of red blood rubies
But never to be worn around !!
Still...own it as a treasure and a lesson
In the bold casket of my memories !!!
87 · Jul 2020
I am ......to you
No one
Some one
Some one special
Preference
Only priority
World

World
Priority
Preference
Someone special
Some one

Drifting heart
Is it my heart
Or your heart
That's drifting apart ??
87 · Aug 2020
Birthday gift
I thought I could be happy
As you would make me happy
With you around me..
As your gift for me
On my special day...my birthday!!

But
As always

Loneliness accompanied me
In your place
With Wonderfully packed gift of
Disappointment!!
85 · Oct 2020
Ordinary
An ordinary soul
Neither was  nor I'm
With my own  imperfections
Mine alone perfections...
Emotions sometimes freeze me
And at times anger fumes  too
No bodies I love
But the souls in them I  care
Crying and laughing not unknown to me
Though keeping a smile ever seem toughest..
As gentle a mind of flowery petals
Ocassionally becoming a rocky brick...
I'm ...what my mind...is
In  and out  no different...!!
Ordinary....Extra ..... ordinary!!

Coimbatore
I’m back to my place ,
that prepared  me to race
A place that  let me learn
To keep shoulders up than to lean
Gave me strength  to stand tall
In every situation that tilted  for a fall
Taught me to hide worries under a smile
And make my walk worth while
A place that made me freak as a teen
Showed me a   world I had never seen
Gave me heart breaks  
Removable by no hacks
Where it was fun
To hang around under sun
With friends and theirs too
Enjoying life with no clue
Of what  in store for future
As that was our nature..
Thoughts of all brings smiles
but now  within It’s cries
for the Years  that distanced
Me from this place for no stance..
Like an alien in the land I stay
As how much I miss this place all way
I’m back to my place
To breath its air  for a day's phase
I’m back to my place, I'm lost!!!
82 · Jul 2020
Can predict
What am I today
Is not what I wanted me to be yesterday!!

What I will be tomorrow
Is unknown to me ..
Yet I believe
I will be me ..the real me !!
