Rajesh Thankappan Poems

What is it in me
Or rather is it something in you
That makes me love you
Despite my struggle
...

If I can burn my sins
In the clear oil of sincere repentance,
A glorious lamp shall be lit
That shall shine with luminescence.
...

Mangoes, mangoes,
Dangling down the tree,
Come and fall off
With the breeze,
...

I have a pussy-cat
Who likes to mew
Delightful new songs
And old melodies anew
...

I have a puppy
Soft and cuddly
He barks away sparrows
And runs straight like an arrow.
...

What is beauty

I often think -
...

Those were the days of delight
The days in paradise
When we wandered in tribes
With wonder in our eyes.
...

The planets in the sky mingle
With the stars both dull and bright,
Merges and mingle do rivers with the ocean
After the hurdles they encounter and crosses,
...

The mantis wore a pair of boots
Bought a wooden flute
And tried to play a merry tune.
A tune, a tune, a tune
...
