Pankajam Kottarath Poems

Sorrows deep rooted
lie damp
in bruised hearts
like my village soil
...

Tiny rabbits stay still
while chemicals dropped
eat away their eyes.
After the trials
...

Dreamy eyes.
Hearts melt and flow like streams.
As they converge into one
the streams vanish
...

Wind asked Jasmine: How do you look so gorgeous?
Jasmine said: As the delight of others gets reflected on me
Jasmine to the wind: How do you blow so gentle?
...

At the threshold of summer
April had its vanquished songs
May started with hot spells
nights, yearned for dying cool winds
...

As last sunrays prepared to quit
I found my pet dog annoyed
snooping and sniffing his ways
in and around the messy shed
...

Imagine
the dark walls of night
do not cage you.
Its endless songs
...

He counts the Yes
in her No's
with a teasing smile
and choose their trajectory
...

I don't have to scale
Snow capped Himalayan peaks
They come to my courtyard at a wink
...

With a heavy heart he comes
sits alongside on the swing
sways with his long time friend
Not a word they utter
...
