Srishti-2022   >>  Poem - English   >>  Diamond in her eyes

Abhisek

GES

Diamond in her eyes

Glitter are yet of modest values,

Reflect old memories and sorrows.

Eyes are open pictures,

So clear and distinct like skies.

 

That day you went with friends to the bay,

Devil came up with acidic spell on face.

I saw thousand nights in a day,

Place with white apron is last I can say.

 

Skies are fading by dark color,

Transparent showers are falling from my dear’s picture.

Each drop that perpetuates through the skin,

Like a hot needle injected by a merciless.

 

The look which is a sun,

Got cover by a hurricane clouds.

Rain down on my petty defenseless hands,

Ruin my whole sphere due to your absence.

 

I just can’t see because I’m so shinning,

Wet is so ugly can defeat all other black.

If I look so bad, so dark by my diamonds,

What is the condition of you seeing my dark skies?

 

Fully flooded, fully damaged,

Those diamond are so painful that their,

Shine is just a cover of inner-lining black and sad reality.

I find myself totally alone in all dark dimensions

 

With my will and zeal nowhere to park

My request is to lay down your diamonds

See through my eyes this world of greenery

Sunken in the gold of love and humanity.

Life Swings Around

oh! Its swings around me

Oh! its not stopping the ride..

It’s making me to live another day

Hey! its my life… moving on and on

 

I wanted someone to be in the swing…

I wanted the movement to be beautiful

I  wanted to smile across the whirling

Oh! Am I lucky enough? I found you next to me.

 

Why….U took your hand out of mine

Oh! U are falling down

I am left alone in the swing…

It’s going faster and faster….

I lost the direction..I lost the  control

My hands are shaking, my heart is aching

I can see your hands down , I can see you eyes up

Hold me, I am coming with you. I am falling down for you!!!

Sigh

As the children who left home a long time ago, returned 

with thunderous drums of celebration,

the Mother heaved a sigh of relief.

And what a cute name we gave it;

Srishti-2022   >>  Poem - English   >>  She Became The World

Sarath Ramanan

She Became The World

And she became the world

to the kid who'd lost his way.

With her gleaming smile on,

running her fingers over his silky hair.

Wiping his tears and calming his tremors

he hugged her as close as he could,

like there was no where safer he could be,

so far and distant from that filthy world.

 

That was years ago, now the kid has grown,

facing his fears with the same gleaming smile.

Like a forgotten dream a memory still remains,

beneath the dusty corner of his beating heart

Pondering over the torn pages of his glittering life,

With countless blunders, unresisting and cross-legged,

un-creasing one dog-ear at a time, until it was all done.

His dreamy eyes into the starry night, he wished no more.

 

Staring into a setting sun by his window sill

a steaming mug of coffee making castles in the air

in the midst of a lingering aroma, a passing thought.

That inclined seat that may never be taken, he smiles.

The reasons and seasons that came and went, 

yesterday and the day before, but today

he is happy on his own and not alone,

she became a bit of all, and she became the world.

Death

When someone of your close proximity 

leaves the world suddenly one day, 

Two things happen.

 

Either you grow soft-hearted... 

Every single passing-away of the years to come, 

Will bring back memories, 

Cut open the wound afresh,

And tears would flow...

 

Or you turn stone-hearted...

No disasters nor death nor distress 

Would touch you anymore...

You would forget how to cry...

Gughan A G

Let there be love

Haunting the mornings, the soulless legacies,

Scorned at my heart for its paining ecstacy

Weeping my heart out and counting sanity

Heaping your memories that's wrecking agony.

Tangled in charms , I was tricked into your void

Chasing your fragrance , a luring fine decoy

Lately, I cognize your elegant cruelty

Oh Lady ! I'm burning in the fire you kept in me

Of all the morbid ways of slaying a soul

You chose love as your legitimate tool

Your baffling glimpse hauls my heart apart 

Mine wits went numb as a warm retort

Drenched and deluded by the lilt of your voice ,

Repulsing your charm was the least of my choice.

Let my heart be crumbled and a pain eternal ,

You shall be my love , my light , torching up the hell.

After the Storm

Everything’s broken-

The rusty chair, the vase,

The handle of the nearly unused pan,

The bedroom mirror,

The lamp on the terrace,

The switch of the shrieking fan.

 

Twigs of the guava,

One wing of the parrot,

The lock of its lonesome cage,

The sight of the hills,

The neighbour’s swing,

And, the weatherman’s gauge.

 

The road to the fair,

The bridge to the kin,

And trails of the confused dog.

The morning’s calm,

The eerie sun,

That looks like a raged hedgehog.

 

But, that’s alright.

The storm didn’t touch

The tender stealth of the night.

Wrapped in fleece

Of crazy nerve

Sleeps my child of the light.

 

The verse of the song,

The flow of the hint,

The depth of the boundless grief,

Pulled through the storm,

Of ghastly charm

And deep, unplumbed mischief.

Evolution

Lean were her hands,

Shadowed by an assemblage of dead cells.

A loud mind that sits in silence.

She was like mist,

Conflating herself into thin air,

Unnoticed, still holding the moisture of comfort.

Miles away was she, from her dreams,

The ones, once she boasted aloud.

Far away, was the efflorescence of energy.

She befriended the darkness of the night,

Yet again the dalliance of the moon and morning dew.

She was demure, yet

Her eyes failed to hide the sparkle.

She was like a volcano,

Eager to erupt untold stories.

About to collapse was she,

When the nature played music for her.

The half shadow drifted slowly,

Fell upon her, the rays of realisation.

Those lean hands could create history,

Those dead cells were still half alive.

Passion that could break the silence,

A conflation of dream and reality.

The darkness faded away,

So did the demure once she treasured as a compliment.

Continued to sparkle her chatoyant eyes.

She felt feathers glued to her body,

Slowly lifting the bondage of taboos,

Erupted the passion,

Quenching the thirst of words untold.

And off she flew over the mountains

Fluttering feathers immersed in ashes,

Rock-ribbed for another forest fire.

BB

Everyone has to be attitude in their own life..
But time moves on, for all of us ...
Dreams are fake! but it looks ultimate for all
Finally for all, the world looks like flat....

But audience are wandering about who is BB?..
BB is beautiful tiny, but fond of blood!...
Life is beautiful for the hero with lot of funs...
Like all, hero is one amoung us! But unique in the whole group of attitude...

Finally a clash between BB and hero, beg to the beautiful BB! leave me alone...
Then hero lost all mood and shed the plan of Victoria Bitter...
Because hero is short of that thick red blood, with rare percent...
Confused! Comrades are unique with that unique group of blood...BB smiles

Srishti-2022   >>  Poem - English   >>  Drey's Rainy Day

Sabarish Parameswaran

Drey's Rainy Day

Rise and shine, it's a sunny day

It's what they say come April n’ May

Its holidays for little Drey

And come what may he’ll always play.

His sleepy eyes could barely say

But sure it was no usual day

His Mom was running all the way

She rarely keeps her chores at bay

Looks like it's the day of Frey

And the sun has not yet thrown his ray.

My Wheels are out and I will play

Come what may, said little Drey

 

Birds in blanket up sky say

It's a rainy day, oh! It’s a rainy day!!

 

A Bolt had flashed and thunder struck

Little Drey had little luck

One drop down and it poured like truck

A drab brown day had left him stuck

 

Mama warned him, stay inside

His little heart now wants a ride.

Mama’s looks though stops his stride

One drop down and its high tide

It's rain outside and it's rain cheek side

His charming smile was left to hide.

A gentle moan and a weenie glide

His pug boy doodle by his side

Drey seem hell bent on his ride

One smart swivel and one smart slide

Drey went running out, poolside

With Doodle chasing side by side

 

Was it the floor or was it the speed

Doodle’s thoughts were on that deed

His master's son had slipped indeed.

Thunderstorm had took the lead,

And no one knew Drey’s cry for heed.

Raising back to warn the creed

The pug boy doodle felt the need

Mamas Running, so’s the creed

There she saw her sinking seed

Drowning like a seaside bead.

Sea in her eyes was out there to read

She took the leap and that was the need

 

Birds that sang had left their hay

It's a rainy day, oh! It’s a rainy day!!

 

Frantic moves and panic scenes

Life had surely found its means

A decade’s passed and in his teens

Drey still miss the wall he leans.

 

Birds that sang in his heart still say

Indeed, it was rainy day, but a drainy day!!

Raji Chandrika

Allianz Technology

Let it go

No surprises and twist

No love or lust

It’s not sunny or rain

Just a shade of dark and pain

The stars shine, but not for me

The moon is bright, but I don't see

Its only my heart who pushes me oh!!

Beating and beating- let it go.. let it go..

 

Into the deep blue sea I dive

just to feel my dream's hive

Down I swim, but stuck somewhere

it is not a sea, an ocean of my tear..

along with my shadow, I started to walk

 

alone with my thoughts, I stopped to talk

It's not the breeze which touches me slow

but the storm, inside my chest it grow

It's only the hope which drives me oh!!

I learn to move and let it go... let it go...

Brutal Confessions

I find your hegemony a disgrace
I bequeath no charm in your wretched desires
I am your benevolent child
I am a sham for the love I yearned
For all the hypocrisy you have nurtured
Greatest is the one you held your honour with
Honour you traded with your dignity
For your lust of caste, creed and race
Devoid of your humanity
And rich in praise of your Gods and beliefs
I have begun to give up on love
To let my stars smile, forfeit of their blessings,would be a blasphemy
I have buried my desires
Deep beneath the cavern of your culture
The glorified versions of which
Are nailed on my forehead since my birth
I hope you smile, for all I yearn
Is your peaceful death
Beneath your spineless patriarchy
Is my naked truth and fruit
Forbidden so it be
I am a sinner since i could remember
I am your hapless son or daughter
And I hope you get a heaven
Shoved in your throat someday!!

Srishti-2022   >>  Poem - English   >>  To My lovely sisters

To My lovely sisters

My lovely sisters, I am really missing you,

I remember when four of us played in the yard.

With your mischievous deed, locked me in the wooden cupboard.

Playing day and night, fighting for a toy

But all I can do now is pray.

 

The times we skipped and hopped in the gardens,

With lilies and daffodils around,

Joys and laughter, tears and strifes

We were together.

But all I can do now is pray.

 

We always had each other everytime

Especially when, our days were bad. 

Always been there, through thick and thin, 

I know your thoughts, through your grin.

But all I can do now is pray.

 

We are the lucky ones to share the same birthday on October

When we surprised each other with cake and flowers.

Always around, poked and irritated me

But end of the day, my best siblings.

But all I can do now is pray.

 

I am missing you all every second.

And now I am already locked in the wooden crate,

My hands have turned cold.

There is always silence here in this raised mound

But all I can do now is pray.

 

Farewell! my sisters now and forever

It’s only the melancholy that is praised here

You can commemorate with flowers and candles,

Onto this marble tomb that read ‘Rest in peace’

And all I will do now is pray.

Path

I wish there was someone
who always stood by me
fact there were none...
All the way I travelled alone
deep inside my heart
seeking for love and friendship...
found none...
Tears shred my eyes
I realized I was all alone...
Then gathered all my strength
and took an oath
that I would never cry...
A ray of hope just rose in me
as I walked all the way long
reached where I wanted to be..
that moment of pride...
From then no regrets..
I realized I wasn't alone 
I had myself....

The rain and little girl

Clouds are ready
To join together
Now its the time
To rain everywhere

No one is ready
To get wet
I'm the one really
Want to set

Set some arts
on sky space
Put some dots
on my face

I'm ready to play
Don't be delay
I'm waiting for while
Make me smile

shower me once
Before mom comes

Srishti-2022   >>  Poem - English   >>  Being Single

Being Single

Being single is the curse of time

Living the life in gleeful demeanor

Veiling the anguish, enthralled by past,

All I need was someone to love me

Like a forlorn pappus, I floated

Dazzled by the salubrious perfidy of love

I lurched and lurched in the wind of fate

Bustling towards my baffling destiny

There were no more likes or dislikes

Cuddling all those proffered throbbing

Little time to wait and mourn

As I know the end is near

Being single is the bliss of time

Far away from the thrall of affinity

No one to fetter, nothing to expect,

All I need is to love myself

The Farmer

The hands burn, yet I clutch,
Steel rods burning them, yet I clutch,
For my child’s stomach cries,
so I clutch.

Glow of molten makes my eyes blind,
reminds me the glow of paddies,
I let tire my eyes,
For my child’s stomach cries
.

Once known pleasure of mud,
 turn coal's ash on the leg, 
 pain the ground gives,
differ when a bug bite me on mud,
I let pain my legs,
For my child’s stomach cries.


The bones crushed, torn the muscles,
time has to now pass,
wonder why it’s slow to pass,
I let the mind to wait  ,
For my child’s stomach cries
.


Lord gave the silvers when the stars shone,
glow rather soothing than the steel,
eyes had tears flowing,
for my child’s toothless smile
.

Engine drove through the track, 
to my beautiful village it goes,
to my wife and child it goes,
the body not tired anymore,
For the joy has taken the pain off.

Stepped to my mud again, 
the early green has now turned, 
pale dark, pale sorrow, 
tears on my wife's cheeks, 
went in to see my thatch
.

Turned for my kids, no cry, 
then turned to my wife, 
pointing she was to a grave, 
a grave so beautiful.



I went near the beautiful heap of mud,
a drop of tear on the mud of bones,
the stomach crying, drank the tear,
the fire put off.

 

Srishti-2022   >>  Poem - English   >>  Till a single bell ends their life

Till a single bell ends their life

Leaps and sails and darts, the bus runs

With the running trees, through

The black saree-clad lane,

With many souls sit on seats,

And a few spirits hang on rods.

 

A child. Done no homework,

Fears the pain of the cane.

A boy. Longs to bunk the school, and

Dreams to play and revel with his fellows.

A girl. With a hand full glassy bangles,

Eagers to show off her newly-add.

A man. Bends his head to a screen, and

Stays update with the world around.

A woman. With two wires in ears,

Flies into a world of oblivion.

A father. Hangs on to a rod,

Contemplates his child’s future.

A mother. Leans on a seat,

Cooks a mind-snack for her child.

A newly wed. With a coquettish smile,

Tastes the remains of the night before.

A grey haired. With a torn bag,

Scans at times for a vacant seat.

 

The very second they step into the bus

Unbeknownst to one another

Their lives start with a double bell.

Roam through unknown streets,

Achieve the unachievable,

Forget the unforgettable,

Smile and cry for no reason,

Chew the cud of contentment,

And dreamt long for a divine interception,

Till a single bell ends their life!

Srishti-2022   >>  Poem - English   >>  Black Mirror

Sujith Dan Mammen

UST Global

Black Mirror

Staring again, on the shiny display,

Leaving me to a state of dismay;

Life as it is, glowing away,

All is just a touch away.

No need for me to leave my sweet home,

Measured as lazy, surrounded by some,

All has changed, can find all my chum;

Be it friend or just any of them.

Addicted I am to my black mirror,

Anonymous I could be a terror;

Surfing the space hiding all the horror,

Like an arrow shot from a quiver.

Swiping my life left or right,

Up or down, it may be alright.

Eyes are weary with all the light,

But I can’t blink for that’s my plight.

Sleep is gone but I want to show,

That I am happy to friend or foe;

Be it raining or let it snow,

My life is perfect in online show.

I may not talk or I may not smile,

For I may see you once a while;

All I look is at your profile,

And making mine ahead a mile.

I claim that I know it all,

The mirror showing, big or small;

Surrounding myself with a Chinese wall,

Mingling is not my protocol.

Google is my friend for life,

Carving my mind like a butchers knife;

Reality leads me to strife,

Just like being an angry wife.

The mirror orders the food I eat,

Also decides the few I meet;

A day goes wasted without a tweet,

For that just makes a day complete.

I don’t feel the traffic lights,

For a text to read, that’s my rights;

Question me that turns to fights,

For I know how from all those sites.

Who is it on the black mirror screen?

What has changed, is it my cuisine?

I used to be a human pristine

But now I look like butter bean.

I am going bit short of breath,

As confronted by the big black death;

Like the lot, am just a sheth,

I am addicted , just like meth.

Like a teddy, for a toddler,

The big black screen, is my brother;

I may not just be popular,

But it’s that I just don’t bother.

The greatest wish is to switch it off,

But I go wary as hiding a cough;

I say the truth for I don’t bluff,

I just always hope it was not so tough.
