Mallika Achuthan Menon Poems

Tinkling laughter echoed there
Dripping teardrops glittered there
Our memory lane got cluttered thus
With entangling glee and glumness both.
...

Amidst the hustle and bustle of day
Can I be in your thoughts, my dear?
Why did my mind who is acting childlike,
Taxing me by asking this
...

The broad and well kept thoroughfare
Got cuddled with its heavy traffic.
The town was over crowded with
folks of each and every league.
...

Just a single thought of you
opened the flood gate of memories,
and gushed out golden memoirs,
the lone moments of you and me!
...

That night it was drizzling nonstop,
Every where there spread a cryptic silence,
What made me wake up, I just wondered!
Naively sat there idle and watched the standstill nature,
...

Another name of agedness is,
A second childhood sure it is.
Who told this sentence I don't know yet,
But a lot of sense it has, I will bet!
...

Doubts

The running race goes on and on
Day and night with sun and moon
...

Is the failure curse or boon?
All failed to judge it miserably.
Through care and concern in plenty
I liked to make my mother fail
...

The dense flocks of dark nimbus clouds
Had caused the sky to look gloomy
The sky had vaguely tried and failed
To conceal all her own agonies.
...

He was walking with a stick
By counting each and every step
With a white cane, his support.
Miseries depicted well on his face
...
