Rajesh Thankappan Poems

One need not wait for a natural calamity or a flood
To donate precious life saving blood,
This fluid is a godly boon
For people whose life in danger loom.
...

When I look into your eye
I can see a billion sights,
Like the stars in the sky
That for attention vie.
...

Toiling hard, digging the soil
To raise high- rise buildings into the sky
Deep buried rocks in the lower strata we met
Compounding our effort and our work.
...

I personally took care to pack my luggage
And to pick up things I wanted in my baggage
For it was a sudden plan to go on a short vacation
To a mountain resort, one of my favorite destinations.
...

My sweetest taste is the nectar of time
With you beside me to rhyme and chime,
Never once shall I steal a glance at a tumbler of tempting wine
Sparkling on a rich candlelit table laid for the Kings to dine!
...

I could see the electric poles fly apart
Lines snap asunder
Giant trees uprooted like weed
Cars uplifted like matchbox
...

There was a man named Chabbi Ram
Whose stomach was large and round,
No alarm could make him run
For he had a stomach of one ton!
...

Dear, let us bury the past
Lower the flag to half-mast,
Then set sail in a new direction
To unwrap new vistas unveiling at the horizon.
...

Honey bee, honey bee, where have you been?
I have been to the garden to collect honey for the queen
Honey bee, honey bee, which flowers did you visit
Daisies, sunflowers and gaily dancing tulips.
...

When I look out of my open window
And behold the clouds leisurely drifting away
I am reminded of the days that held with me a tryst
And has now drifted into the far beyond with the gust.
...
