Prathipa Nair Oct 2016
Each strands of my hair
Awaiting your hands caressing
With black colour of expectation
One by one growing old
With grey colour of disappointment
Prathipa Nair Oct 2016
Being in love is alike falling in a water well
Having the knowledge to swim
Without any idea to escape
Unruffled at the time of drowning

Roaring sound of tractors woke me from my afternoon nap
Came to my balcony with a cup of hot coffee
A plate of snacks kept on the table
One-legged crow comes to me to get her regular share
Vast green fields giving a pleasant vision to my eyes
Cunning crane standing to catch its prey
Kids riding their vehicles of tyres with a key of stick
White necked eagle following his friend
With a loud screeching noise
Cute little squirrels climbing our mango tree
To get a clear view of my actions
Can hear the horn of a bus from the stand
Mother watering her favourite kids of plants
A flower girl comes with a basket of jasmines
Taking two garlands from her paying with a smile
Back to her duties of gardening
Finishing my coffee with snacks
Sat a meantime watching the salubrious visions

My legs peddling to the top of hills
In search of calmness being solus
Afar from this haunting world of greed
Reaching top of the mountain rock
Laughter of waterfalls welcoming me
Lying on the rock looking up at the sky
Trickling of tears through my cheeks
White tissue ***** of clouds
wiping my weeping eyes
Setting sun kissing my forehead
with her orangish red lips
Wintry breeze cuddling me with console
Down from the hills originating new zing
Walking through the greenwoods of forests
Following lanterns of fireflies
To my bamboo hut where a heart
awaiting my return
With her wide eyes open full of love!

Courtyard blessed with snake Gods
Under the large plumeria tree
With its yellowish white flowers
Sitting there in the world of my imagination
Conversing with the disparate designed snakes
Came to visit their King with Queen God
King was in golden colour with his head high
Queen in her attic of red with black lines
Wearing garlands of corn marigold flowers
Offerings made by devotees
Tender coconut, turmeric powder,
Rice pudding with rice cake
Blessing them pleased with their devotion
Turned towards me to convey their heartfelt joy
In furtherance of visiting their
kingdom with respect to nature
Giving them a space with devotion in this nasty world
Even now we used to do offerings.. Not only a belief in God.. Ancient people did this to respect snakes and also to avoid deforestation

Morning sun kissing on my forehead
Struggling to open my slugged eyes
Crows informing the arrival of guests
Says grandmother to mother
Keep ready one excess glass of rice
Flavour of steamed rice flour with layers of coconut
And chickpea curry with potatoes
Garnished with fresh curry leaves
Entering the gateway of my nose
Motivating me to jump from my bed
Ending the battle with my toothbrush
Came running forthright to the dining table
Lento my hands reaching the plate served hot
Unanticipatedly that terror voice from aft
Stop it ! Go take your bath !
It was my grandmother glowing fresh
With sandalwood paste on her forehead
Like Goddess Kali standing in front of me with a knife !

Blown bubbles of clouds moving faster
Wind kissing me with a gentle touch
Drizzling drops of rain tickling my ears
New born leaves together playing xylophone
Peacock dancing in its embroidered attic
Pigeons of peace enjoying freedom
Green grass standing with goosebumps
Orange with black dotted butterflies
Modelling a colourful boutique
In this evening of adorable nature
Awaiting my love in the garden of indigo flowers
Jealous of wind kissing me
Star alike alluring violet flowers welcoming me
To his arms of longing libido
