Jaishree Nair Poems

Amidst the young seeking the solace of affection...
the talons of self-centered vanity.

Amidst the procession of honey oozing words...
...

The seed of love,
hammered and distorted
on the anvil of life
terminated before germination..
...

A family scattered with the risingsun,
to returnat dusk,
in the shelter zone of love...
...

Who is responsible
for my life of solitude
forced to curtail my thoughts
in the blanket of darkness..
...

I can see the children around...
Playing ball in the ground..
Laughing, sprinting, jostling...
The future champions promising..!
...

Can we call ourselves humans?
Cold blooded clubbing, battering, slaughtering in mid street
Heedless of the blood shed
Intent on butchering fellow -beings for reasons trivial.
...

Like the sweetness of honey oozing flowers...
Like the gentle shower from heaven...
Like the smiles of the angels....
A blessing to some!
...

Just a house like any other,
in a village in the remote like no other,
A lone old woman lighting a lamp,
Awaiting the return of the loved one in the night damp...
...

Hating himself too,
Searching for reasons to hate her too,
The abhorrence like venom fuming within,
At fault all others...
...

Love is in the air,
to sparkle and dazzle
and Kindle emotions unknown
in the strange land of Cupid.
...
