Bashyam Narayanan Poems

Really very long back
It was when we were not using
Any branded material for cleaning teeth
And it was also a luxury to have a tooth brush
...

Shared dreams and dark lane

There is a dark lane
En-route from a temple I visit in the evening
...

There is a monkey on your back

At any point of time each one of us is carrying a monkey on the back.
...

You are not
What you think you are
You are just the force
Operating a robot
...

Romance is a fascination
For a person, normally of the other sex
Expressed or otherwise
Irrespective of the other person
...

We are a democracy completed years sixty three
We are, but, yet to be freed
From the clutches of caste and creed
And, the worst of all, that of greed
...

He is always there to greet
Each morning
I meet him daily
As I wait for my bus to turn up
...

Business is meant for
Wealth generation only
This deep-rooted adage
Was shaken and thrown off gear
...

It looks as if
It is the end of it all

When dreams go dry
When screams go unheard
...

Each moment is fleeting
No moment stays on
Irrespective of your having
Enjoyed it or otherwise
...
