Jaishree Nair Poems

I searched for it here and there
I could not find it anywhere
I asked my friends
They shrugged indifferently
...

Feeling excited and alive...
Off to meet my children!
After four months of separation...
Eyes bright with anticipation.
...

On the threshold of another academic year;
Back to syllabus oriented classes and interactions-
To acknowledge, rectify and build on proficiencies assessed,
To enable the young ones to reach-
...

Kissing away my tears of desolation;
to the land of gold you migrated
to secure our dreams limited......
...

A prick somewhere...
Wounding and flushing out..
Tears of blood flooding
and drowning the bliss of friendship.
...

Innocence of tender age
ripped apart by animals....
Wiped away the smile of an angel
Never ever to bloom its fragrance...
...

I am not asking for the moon...
just a few pennies to jingle in my empty pockets
to prove that I am not penniless
...

A flood of tears blurred my vision;
As I stood; my hands resounding in unison
calling the messengers of heaven....
Our token of love on banana leaves...
...

An Angel in green floated to my heart.
With a sunny smile smart..
A surprise visit to celebrate my day
My birth glorified this day...
...

I may not be rich in wealth...
but I am wealthy in the richness of many young hearts

I may not be lucky to be gifted with life's comforts......
...
