Rajesh Thankappan Poems

When we cheat others
We cheat ourselves first
Of our honesty
Our integrity
...

We should learn to laugh
Even through the clouds dark,
Though our spirit may be low
And trampled under the boots below.
...

Life's little pleasures
Are the real treasures
That makes it twinkle
And provide it with a sparkle.
...

I rose, I rose,
From the trampled soil
I rose, I rose,
From the dust and the dirt
...

Her home was housed upon the mountain high
Where the earth rose steeply to embrace the sky,
Where clouds and dreams in tandem roam
Mix and mingle unhindered in their celestial home.
...

I asked my cricketer uncle
To buy me a toy,
But he bought me a tricycle
And I danced with joy.
...

I warmly remember those winter days
When in our lawns we would set bonfires ablaze,
And our neighbors would automatically swarm
To share with us its glowing warmth.
...

Let us like birds sing merry song
At the break of dawn,
For are we not each day reawakened
And in a way into the world reborn?
...

Lost in the chaotic traffic of life
With roads merging and branching everywhere,
I fail to take note of the tracks
That has conveyed me thus so far.
...
