Ananda Krishnan Poems

Beloved India, let me light your glory in diya..
And set it floating in the tranquil waters with turbulent depths..
Frothing up tales of yonder ships and spices, opium and silk..
The flickering flame has flattering fables
...

Beneath the sly smile of a sliced moon,
Above the scorching summers subdued in sand,
I wander along a thousand dunes
In search of the calm, composed in your hand.
...

An ambiguous fate, a Herald's fault
turned off the dynamite
A new thought did ignite
a renaissance of burning light
...

Strangers who used to be friends

Nobodies who used to be somebodies.
...

In search of love…to be loved and to love…

For love is a power game too among other things giving rise to
...

They say that your hair is greying
But they are wrong, my love
For your face is the moon,
Your long dark hair is the night
...

In the instant throbbing between
Eternity and this moment,
A frozen fragment of time,
Breathes past and future.
...

Masquerade of changes waltzed in time,
Marquee of the world sang to the chime,
Monotony of a melancholic rhyme.
Once more the summer's heat,
...
