Kesav Venkat Easwaran Poems

Desires raw and ripe
mixed with
illusions sweet
attractive pieces
...

The sun stopped peeping secretly through the green leaves
The shadows lengthened and silently grew to size
The ghosts in them came to life, expressing their glee
The forest was courting the wild darkness it seized
...

They give us pleasure, they give us life
Demand a lot of attention live
But many a time they give us pains
Never behave the way we like
...

Little whims we always care,
We hold on to our hearts;
But many things we know brittle,
We let them slip out of hands!
...

Life is a captive to duty
Bondage to one or more souls
Dear and near love or hate;
Family nation or race…
...

Brooding over past no good
Nor living in idle dreams;
Learn to love the present, this life
And learn to see its gleam...
...

Your silence
It makes me more eloquent,
compels me to speak more
...

He walks along close to me all the time
At times goes ahead, falls behind sometimes,
Talking all the while laughing aloud often
Bitter accusing words many times
...

O, Candle,
on lighted up, you burn out
in your heart, you melt
in goodness, give out life
...

Under an olive tree
On the shore of sea
Hand in hand eye in eye
We used to sit, long back
...
