Once Upon A Time Poem by kunjubi varghese

ONCE UPON A TIME



Once upon a time, some one came this way

Peddling dreams embittered by tears.

Seeking this earth, he wandered through

The island of Love, carrying a message from Paradise,


He presented those sweet melodies to this


Evergreen planet for its folks to sing - his epistles.

He kept waiting for someone on the lonely shores

Of the deep blue sea, whose endless distress

Mingled with the yonder sky, waiting interminably.

Gazing at the wandering clouds carrying errands

Filled with rapturous ecstasy of love to the heavens;

All the while clinging to the star spangled galaxies.


He filled his goblets, muzzling his ambrosial memories

Through every pubs of the night, kept open with

Its undying flames for its inmates, many a times..


Your memory is dripping down in the seven notes

Of music incessantly and eternally -

About the stranger who came once upon a time…
