Ganesh Veeraraghavan Poems

all my attempts…..

I messaged to God and waited for reply
"Sending Failed" buzzed my mobile
...

Can I be the star on ascent?
When He takes his earthly descent
Can I be his golden cradle?
Breasts of the gopis for his straddle
...

He who looks for the Robber…..

Essentially formless
Clever disguises…
...

Tuka’s verses…

When He wishes
The ink swells
...

Vittal Vittal Vittal Vittal…..

Jnana says He made the buffalo sing
Which put an to the townsmen sting
...

The night crept early just this day
Sleep won me in its cruel way
Weary hours of long waiting
To hear one word of sweet caring
...

tea by the roadside…..

I wonder often why walk a milex
Just to sip a glass of tea
...

I wait lonely at the station
Not a porter has yet woken
The mist is muffling the morning air
I wait for the train, eyes with tear
...

Seeking to win we play this gameIs winning and losing not just the sameIts learning and loving which is true playingBut seeking to win we lose living
It's a game with rules unknownSet by the One of great renown
He sits up there and crafts them cleverlyWe are set to play blindly
The cards are dealt, some come strongBut we could play it all wrongSometimes the cards come lifeless weakHis changing rules gives success sleek
...

You and I

Why not you be the orange rising sun
Your radiant face, brilliant florescence
...
