Kesav Venkat Easwaran Poems

A colorless ray HE made…
And made colors all
From ultra violet to infra red
Flowers reflect them all
...

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

Right across my dream they come
I know not from which land
Bright ‘n buoyant glow in flame
They take me to a dance!
...

Rig Veda Translation by Ralph T.H. Griffith, (1896) , at sacred-texts.com

Introductory:
...

O Lark,
your voice induces
sparks of sweetness
in the dark,
...

He wandered in vain in the richest woods
In search of a magic herb;
For the village apothecary too
Couldn’t offer him much help...
...

A word so good
if improperly spelt
sounds ugly;
if unwisely uttered
...

Satan was waiting
Gleefully on the rails
At the end of the tunnel face
Unaware the driver stopped the train
...

Bishen Singh Bedi bowling
To a number eight Pommie;
The ball slow, hitting his front foot
Leaving him grimacing
...

Thoughts:
They reach the mind,
come floating
in the open space
...
