Raman Savithiri Poems

Little girl was asked to buy a matchbox
Bidding bye to mother she left for a shop
While going in wild jungle she lost her way
Inevitably forest became her place of stay
...

In the gap between each of my death and birth
Before I find a womb again in revolving earth
Eternal time drastically changes earth’s surface
Each time it shows a unique stunning face!
...

Know not who I am
Know not who You are
Daily ‘I’ come to ‘You’
Pleading Your grace
...

In teens the flame in Vivekananda’s eyes in his mere picture
Planted another flame of inner search in my heart to nurture
Divinity little amidst emotions that cause earthly life torture
Making my voyage of exploring inner self a real adventure!
...

(As I live in desert, my heart will melt when I see countless plants are burnt up in this hot summer. When I see workers toiling under sun fully covered suffocating at 50 degree Celsius temperature …. I really do not know what to do for them. When I return from school I smile at workers whom I come across, to soothe them. That alone I could do. If they are females I don’t have any uneasiness in smiling. But if they are males, I should draw a line….I don’t want that subtle line too which blocks my love towards them.)

Bestow taintless heart connected to oceanic love.
As I walk love-spring should gush at all my footsteps,
...

People wonder what I do at home
They call me a mad of bad doom!
They try to take me out
To parties of yells and shouts
...

Jack and Jill went up to school
When teacher asks questions
Jack listens and answers well
Jill shrinks into inferiority cell
...

Take my body
Take my mind
Take even my spirit
But…
...

Want to collect my straying thoughts
To make a string of word knots
To let go emotions that of heart’s
...

How am I to cross the ocean of transgression
By this brittle body boat?
Surrounded by karma everywhere
Know not which track to take
...
