RAVIKIRAN ARAKKAL Poems

He asked a few uncomfortable
Questions to his mother in law
Who had apolitically powerful
Brother who asked the chief
...

The man started the show
With multicolored puppets,
Men women and children
Playing stories from mythologies,
...

It rained cats and dogs,
Yesterday morning,
With the droplets dancing
To the tune of the wind,
...

People on the street,
Fought with each other,
In the name Hindu and Muslim,
Killing many, wounding many
...

One flower blossemed
Today, beautiful and blood red
In colour with stems so green,
It looked even more fascinating,
...

She was the typhoons
Of typhoons, inundating
The areas she struck
So heavily, breaching
...

She was not a queen,
But really an empress,
Without the gusto,
She sat on the throne,
...

It came down as a bolt
From the blue, burning
The trees in its path,
With animals scattering
...

She stood alone in the midst,
The senators filled with sorrow,
Not able to console her,
since she had no tears rolling
...

Tiger, tiger, I mourn thy death,
even after forty years hence,
You were my friend and lover,
Keeping out thieves, animals
...
