Some Emotions Poem by Rajesh Thankappan

Happiness dances in with fanfare but swiftly tiptoes away
Sadness seems to drop anchor with the sole intention to stay
Pleasure is like an instant ‘Coco Cola’ or a ‘Thumps Up’
While pain is a bitter pill that we are forced to pop up.

Anger is like an apparition that manifests unexpectedly to haunt
Trust is a friend with whom we would like to forge a closer bond
Love is a sweet craving that we would like to time and again experience
While hate is a like an elephant gone rogue and behaves with impudence.


Fear is a thief who tries to steal confidence and courage
Disgust is like an undigested thing that we throw up as something base
Surprise is a thing that always has a trick or two up her sleeves
Anticipation is like going on a date with dreams that we fondly weave.
