sreedevi sadasivan Poems

(I used to travel in a really crowded bus everyday to reach my college.
That gave me the inspiration for this poem. Quiet ironically the bus was
called heaven)
...

How do you write a poem?
Capture that teasing inspiration.
Make it dance inside your head
and in sudden burst of rage
...

You look at me with wonder when I am all dressed up for a party
Like I am the most beautiful thing you have seen
And you look at me in wonder when I wake up in the morning,
My hair all messed up and my makeup ruined
...

The question still haunted my heart,
'not whether i would, but for how long? '
I looked into my palm and saw my lifeline crisscrossed with others,
all stained with blood and soil.
...

I saw those blue butterflies fluttering
Around my white daisies
and slowly with pin dropp care caught
them with my net.
...

He came down from the stars in his evil ship
His long green hands carried the seeds of destruction
My eyes protested, how dare you touch our earth
our only space, home, heaven.
...

I don't know what touches me more?
The darkness within or the light outside.
but I keep looking for those empty spaces
were they touch each other and disappear
...

My Biggest Pretend

His eyes have grown big like a cat
I think I am in love with you, he purrs
...

Paper Screams:
You are dead
Dead to me dear
Even though you married me
