Rajesh Thankappan Poems

When there is no rain
Farmers groan in pain
And with unseasonal rain
There produce flood the drains.
...

I sat quite patiently
Willing to lend myself an ear,
To think of things within me rumbling
The things that I very much fear.
...

A frog going downhill
Hop, hop, hop,
Down and round
The slope, slope, slope
...

Her sweet enigmatic smile
Clear understanding defies
For no sooner upon it one pries
It seems to rub off in a sly.
...

Those were the days when the rats thought themselves strong
Creating fear among the animals living around.

They ordered the camels through deserts and storm
...

Our thought can be our friend
Or an inimical serpent,
It can be the light
Or the darkness that blinds,
...

Peace can be shred to billion burning bleeding pieces
In an age where sophisticated weaponry holds the rein
Bombs, machine guns and armoury of destructive armaments
Could slash our psyche and flesh to inflict unimaginable pain.
...

How I miss that cozy nest
Her warm, loving touch
As she sang me sweet lullabies
To lull me asleep.
...

I have a pet dog
And I named him as ‘Funny’
For he leaps like a frog
And runs like a Bunny.
...
