Roopa Menon

Brown, yucky and tasteless
Toxic monsters
All tightly bundled
Into a thin roll.
...

Showers of happiness,
As a million raindrops,
Where every dropp mirrors,
The wishes and dreams,
...

In a small town lived a young girl,
Who had a very sweet name called “Furl”
She was very gentle and delectable
Exceedingly gorgeous and affable,
...

The wind blows
Through my hairs
Grown through years of struggle
It brings message
...

The tree didn't drop from sky,
It has grown
I wish it rather
Grew into earth
...

In this materialistic universe,
Being generous seems like a curse.
Today when we talk of great values,
People turn deaf ears like statues.
...

Knocking every door
Polite or rude
A poor sales boy walked.
A burning stomach
...

Tired, tattered and trapped,
She lay still and peaceful
A rhythmic whisper
From a young heart
...

The Sun awoke
And dazzling rays shown
Reflecting on the golden wings
As two birds flew
...

Painted in evening colours,
The sky glowed,
In an array of orange shades
And the rays sparkled,
...

Tiny droplets of salt
Cling on the tip of eyelashes
Hanging valiantly
Until a blink of eye
...

Moments ago
I decided
To collect
All my old loves
...

Drenched in the rage of rain
With an oversized shirt
And hairs uncombed for ages
Torn and tattered
...

Forlorn and Abandoned,
Yet together eternally,
United in a soul,
Two little sisters,
...

We touch
Shoulder to shoulder
Hundreds of strangers and me
My eyes
...

We have all taken birth on this earth,
Where murders, thefts and dacoity have no dearth,
All around us there is corruption.
Even today millions are deprived of education
...

The blanket of night slid off,
A brilliant glow emerged,
That trickled its way down,
Squeezing between clouds,
...

I didn't know that it mattered.
But now in my teens,
I know it makes a difference.
...

Tear drops were puzzled,
Torn between grief and sacrifice,
From a mother's eyes,
That witnessed her only son,
...

Man is extinct
Monotone of cruelty breaks
Trees rejoice
The noises die
...
