Pradeep Dhavakumar Poems

To view the life of another
I left known lands around me;
And boarded a naïve canoe
to search the map-less sea.

Or the forces that lead me there
But stranded I was, in the dark
With a guitar, left, for my pair.

And when I saw ants slowly pass by
Felt how unfortunate their existence is.

soaked in thick tears
whimpered in pain,
in the vengeful
...

Quite a pair, we are
My table fan and me:

We both sit still,
...

Everest carved to hollow cone
Floored with finest beach sand
Stars grouped to a sparkling moon
And moon made to a table lamp
...

Winged creatures fully covered
in black robes, slowly circle
over my body and head.
I depend, on what they are:
