Rajesh Thankappan Poems

My eyes have not reached the region
Where my vision should reach,
My vision has not reached the region
Where my intellect should reach,
...

Was there a time
Before the birth of time?
Before the big bang
Before the universe began?
...

This is my chair
This is my chair
Two frogs were fighting it out
With lungs puffed-up with air.
...

I saw a pair of swans
Streak across the azure sky,
A story of love and beauty
Being scripted in the heavens high.
...

You were the telescope through which I saw
My entire vision of the universe.
Through this window I gossiped with a multitude of stars
That spangled across the night sky and enticed me from afar.
...

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

Zigzag zoom
Zigzag zoom,
I dreamt myself
Travelling to the moon.
...

I have a silent companion, of whom I realized late,
It’s my fate, its my fate, let me here state.
He would rather have things done his way
But I relentlessly try to bring him under my sway.
...

Hide and seek
Hide and seek,
I shall hide
And you shall seek.
...

We are grieving for having lost a good old faithful friend
Who for us was a beacon resting upon a tower of strength
Though he was always besides us with a warm and radiant smile
Now he has sailed away into the beyond where the distance can no longer be measured in kilometers or mile.
