Mary Binu Poems

There are certain things which one could never express
life’s like a dream, you can never guess - what’s gonna
happen next; don’t expect me to be your little miss
sunshine, - I’m nothing but a ugly plain jane.
...

We joined hands and gathered for the occasion
The day to celebrate your memorable vocation,
Lighted lamps stood amidst the hungry crowd
To salute the grande dames with our hearts proud;
...

Life is not an alibi, it wasn’t built for practicality
You cheer the crowd and succumb to formality
A tragic event will not stop the planet turning
In me is the spirit inexorable, avid - burning
...

The gloomy day extended into two
Still I am wondering where you are.
Am I the lonely one, a fish out of water
If only you had stayed a little longer
...

We held hands together, you and me
Gliding through a words of Sea
Slipping and soaring,
Lying beneath the metaphors of life.
...

Cold numb sensation running through the veins,
Piercing tender touch of nomadic winds
Felling-less pulsating rhythm,
Cunning pain creeping in my soul
...

There is a River flowing down the hill
Dump your waste on her and make the kill
For there was no one to question the maker
The lifeless River stinks of human squander,
...

(To My Proud Daughters of a Man-made World)

We shift shapes and shades all day long
Happy or sad we cleanse our souls with a song.
...
