Ravi Panamanna Poems

Matchless is her shores
Silky white is her sands.
Soft, leisurely winds are her dales
The flavors of eons she wafts.
...

Here is a cracker
There is a fighter.
Here is a tongue twister,
There is a verbal flare.
...

Sighs and tears of man I witness,
The annals of life I too share.
Voices of humanity I do clearly hear
To distant dales I always carry a dream.
...

Ship is moored in a port
Friendship blossoms in the heart.
Ship is tossed by winds
Friendship withstands any wind.
...

From the moments of her ecstasy
Our springs are born.
In the garden of her love
Our life is a boon.
...

Among these teeming hills
Mine was an endless pace.
Against the surging winds
Shoulders weighed my life.
...

Light not a lamp
Upon this grave.
In it may perish
Little flies.
...

Looking back
She hath a rich vedic treasure.
Looking ahead,
She hath vistas in every measure.
...

Eons sleep within her
And seasons have left her virgin.
I am holding a pebble
And I am reading my own past.
...
