Grandfather's Treasure
Prathipa Nair Oct 2016
Walls designed with children's art
Room decorated with garlands of spider webs
Entering my grandfather's kingdom of treasures
Nearing a wooden antique box abreast his cot
Jumping with a loud scream
Seeing the thorns popping out
Ever disgusting ugly cockroaches
Hanging a large lock with arts of humans
The box challenging me to open
Breaking the lock abaft an hour of hard work
Lento opens with a creak sound
Eyes piercing out with a thunderbolt
Espying a red with golden jewel box
Opening it with exhilaration
Ah! Taken aback with tears of jolt
It was my grandfather's dentures !

Playful Sun
Prathipa Nair Oct 2016
Awakening mischievous sun from the cradle of sky
Peeping athrill with a smile of fathomless sleep
Smirking at the moon with a goodbye
Being ever hot passes an alluring wink
At the lotus to bloom
Sniggering in a puckish way poking us like thorns
Shines adorably bright the biggest star
Making our day full of healthy war

Your love covering the elasticity of my age

Black Lady
Prathipa Nair Oct 2016
Cleaning vessels conversing with the black lady
Standing outside her kitchen window
Sharing her loneliness to the lady visiting her consistently
At times of breakfast else at times of lunch
Continuing her non stop flow of grievances
When the lady consoles her with two words , "crow,crow!"
Sometimes I used to talk to crows and I believe they can understand our conversation..it happens to many of us

Night's Espousal
Prathipa Nair Oct 2016
Ready for the wedding in her black attic
Wearing necklace of twinkling stars
Alluring bindi of shinning moon
Her blue wide eyes open with delight
Giggling of coyness from her lips of rivers
Plaited braids with fragrant ***** pine flowers
Night, walking languidly on green carpets
Getting on brown forests of chariot
Passing through villages, cities, towns
Ululation of owl's high-pitched wavering
Welcoming her to the ceremony !

Love for Star
Prathipa Nair Oct 2016
Moon sending message through running white clouds
His star of love standing afar with wrath
Missing his attention among countless stars
Wish his eyes searching her in this uncountable crowd
Passing messages of love with peace to the star
Clouds moving faster blessing them oodles
Keeping her close with his dementedly love
She becoming the light shining of lust
Twinkling bright with it's shyness of light

A Jacket
Prathipa Nair Oct 2016
Nothing in my pocket
Aloof wearing this jacket
Why this louder racket
Chasing me with a locket
Am I a familiar facet
Of a rampant celebutante?

Who am I ?
Prathipa Nair Oct 2016
In a journey to know who I am
Lost near the bank of a river
Wondering how to reach the other side
Came to me a lotus leaf with a smile
How can I help you ?
Please take me to the opposite bank
Sitting on the leaf with paddles of frogs
Passing the lotus queen ready to bloom
Reaching literally to the destination
With the self realisation I had in this journey
Paved me a path to know my goal
Earth full blown with His divinity
I am a replica of His creation
Spreading the positive aura to others
Helping the needy with caring love
Being the meaning of my birth in this earth !

Your Gift
Prathipa Nair Oct 2016
Fear haunting me of dark evils
Visions chasing me to asunder
Nowhere a heart to protect me
Aloof a saying women are God's gifts
And no life without them
They remain beautiful as quotes
Searching a place to hide
Staying secluded from stray dogs
Abiding in a thought of suicide
Afore surrendering in their hands !
Unrivalled request to this world
Words nevermore protect us
Prove it through your actions
We are your gift in this life !

Dancing with Pride

Beauty with pride ends in ravage
Thorns pitying the roses
At its armourless heart
Concealed with its pride
Elegance with wisdom gives esteem

Stole My Heart
Prathipa Nair Oct 2016
My heart swirling in stillness
Red blood turns pink of blush
Tongue resisting to feel the taste
Sleep divorced my eyes
Ears refuse to hear the world
Revamping myself in new thoughts
Lento closing my eyes
With one hand on my heart
Seeing that image smiling
Oh! The one who stole my heart
Am I in love with him ?

A Well of Love

Without any idea to escape
Unruffled at the time of drowning

Tea Time
Prathipa Nair Oct 2016
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

Consoling Nature
Prathipa Nair Sep 2016
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!

Snake Gods
Prathipa Nair Sep 2016
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

Breakfast
Prathipa Nair Sep 2016
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 !

Fervour in Nature
Prathipa Nair Sep 2016
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

Path of Life
Prathipa Nair Sep 2016
Earth spinning alike wheel
People moving to discrete directions
Changing of seasons
Summer to Autumn
Birth following Death
Welcome with good-byes
Villages permuting to towns
Entire world changing
I stood unruffled
Without any changes
No idea to which direction
Is my way to life
Mind being blank of blue
Knowing unravelled path to graveyard
Sometimes we have no idea where life leads us to..

Sugar Candy
Prathipa Nair Sep 2016
Spark from his eyes generating
Sugar candy in my lips
Dissolving in his touch of kiss
With hesitancy of thought
Closing my eyelashes of umbrella
Like an infant of persistency
With his avarice of making love
Permuted me to a sugar candy!

Fear of Dark
Prathipa Nair Sep 2016
A feeling of trepidation
When the sun sets waving bye
Pleasing moon comes up with its beauty
Something fearsome
accompanying
Ghost of shadows without eyes
Shrieking cry of the owls
Hissing of venomous snakes
Howling of stray dogs
Scaring me the man in black
Designed by darkness
Eyes resisting to sleep
Awaiting the sun to come back
With its smiling light!

Colour
Prathipa Nair Sep 2016

Beauty of Love
Prathipa Nair Sep 2016
With a mud *** on her waist
Walks the beauty in his thoughts
Grazing cattle in a meadow
Playing his flute of love
Awaiting to see the coyness in her eyes
Hearing the music of her anklets
Blooms a mystic smile on his lips
Swapping hearts of devotion
Sitting under a banyan tree
Languidly lying on his shoulder
Relishing his romanticising music of love
Forgetting the world encircling them
Lost in a heaven of divinity
When the Peacock spreading
Its colourful wings of portiere !

Smile Please
Prathipa Nair Sep 2016
Heart cries when eyes converse
With a faking smile on lips
Carrying burden of inner distress
No one can get into one's heart
Like digging mines in dark
If it happens, smile remains a dream !
Condign words convey consolation
Inner pain ever hiding abaft a smile
One's albatross differ from other
Spreading plague to others
Nay lessen our pain to any extent
Hence learn to smile !

Profuse of Wish
Prathipa Nair Sep 2016
I was a child being shy
I was a child who felt inferior among others
I was a child with low self-confidence
Still it was a pleasant childhood
Till a flood came through my father
Anon my life changed
I lost my little bit confidence
And scared to face the world
Where started my lifelong fear
Angst of every single thing
Wished to do lot of things in my life
And prove myself to the world
Kept all my wishes safe inside my heart
Enjoyed my life with cousins, it was a gift!
Still there being lots of cracks
I remained unsuccessful
Married to an unknown soul
Because of my fierce full thoughts
Still I missed something
Kids came to my world..Still I was the same!
Alas one day a butterfly came into my life
And took me to a new world
Taught me what all I wished
Gave me lots of love, care, support
Encouragement with confidence
The happiness which I was expecting
Came In search of me
All my secrets of deep feelings overflowed
It was a non-stop flow!
It explored what I am
Feeling free, safe, happy
Which I have ever felt bygone
I expressed all my emotions which  kept hidden
Deep inside my heart years ago
Disquieted of one thing
One day it withal will fly off leaving me alone
Thereupon I have to return to the same old world
And the moment happened!
I am again alone in my same old world
Profuse of One Wish Added
The BUTTERFLY to come back!!!
Edited my old version

Moody Chums
Prathipa Nair Sep 2016
Walls painted with mosses
Snails shifting lento
Towards their new house
Spreading fragrance
Of muddy scent
Waving gooseberry leaves
Begetting chilly breeze
Toppling plumeria flowers
Embellishing landscape
Creepers hugging trees
With craving squirm
Squirrels squealing secrets
Throughout branches
White butterflies fluttering
To kiss ravishing flowers
Lustrous sun getting ready
Fabricating exuberance
Awakening moody chums!

Where are you?
Prathipa Nair Sep 2016
Missing you abaft of breath
Albeit lacking of time to miss you
When I am alone, you remain
constant in my thoughts
Like a vast blue sky surrounded everywhere
When all around, you struck
first in my eyes
Like a shooting star being near the moon
When I am with you, unrivalled you remain in my world
Like a meditation in a calm world of nature
Is it a white magic else black magic?
Is there any love chip connected to my body in your name?
Seeing you in my eyes, on my lids
Love to spell the letters in your name
Loving everything apropos you
Dreaming with my eyes open to tryst again!

Respectful Beggar
Prathipa Nair Sep 2016
Seen him begging subsequent years
Speaks in his mother tongue
Which was different from mine
Kids scared hearing his voice
Telling them apropos being good
Enduringly with a smiling face
Was sheer polite with the owners
In my contemplation he was a respectful beggar
Age turned his smile getting weak
No withal seen couple of days
It has been months he nevermore came
Disappeared from our memories
However was in our subconscious mind
Visiting an orphanage to offer food
Found him sitting with his old age friends
Remembering me with my mother
Asking us how do we do
With that old smiling face
Happy to see him again unscathed
Without any loss of memory
Expressed our words remembering him
Let it be a beggar, humanity matters!

Love Bliss
Prathipa Nair Sep 2016

Blushing cherry on her cheeks
Joining him on the sand shore
Holding hands of unequivocal love
Lento nestling on his shoulder
Moon's glow touching the sea
With a bliss of love sinking deeply

Eye Contact
Prathipa Nair Sep 2016
Eye contact is the optimum
Language of love
Eyes speak more than words
Expressing you loving him
Eyes speaks your silence
Of lacking words
Seeing him through your eyes
Feeling him by your eyes
Keeping him in your eyes
Are the paths to your love
Taking him to your heart

Piercing into my ears

Symbolising her vehemence
By raining her tears

Empathy
Prathipa Nair Sep 2016
Smile abaft tears

Broken Heart
Prathipa Nair Sep 2016
Mirror of my heart broke into pieces
Ever knowing my body carry the wounds

Howbeit a new mirror reflects of the broken marks
Reminding us a broken piece!

Who Stops You
Prathipa Nair Sep 2016
Why hiding from me moon
Leaving me in segregation
Dying in darkness of doom
Why hiding from me moon
Renouncing me your light
Dying in darkness of night
Why hiding from me moon
Reflecting me in shadows
Dying in darkness of meadows
What stops you moon
To come of the clouds
Showing me your smiling face
Dying of fear moon
Forgetting my way to home
