Pankajam Kottarath Poems

Lost to malignant cells in brain
She lies confined to bed,
awaiting the last call
in the dim lantern light
...

The slender tube
feeds my senses with mellowed music.
...

Amid perked up flowers
earth beguiles in her best
bathed in a smile
with frills of joy,
...

After a sight seeing trip I return home early dawn
exhausted a bit, yet reinforced from within.
I open the gate. My pet dog comes
wagging its tail, like a pendulum,
...

Alien to me is mad race for avarice
As I don't count on fast buck
That comes quick is to leave fast
My consolation comes from this fact.
...

The thirteen year old flower vendor,
naïve as the flowers she sold
looks nascent like lilies
in her bamboo bin.
...

I Want To Cry

Glory of this earth
ever on the zenith
...

Silence seeps
hundreds of fathoms deep
she sits morose with a cold stare
none to share.
...

Feasting my soul
with broken memories
I sit in the awning
browsing my brains
...

Wonders of the world,
neither those built by hand
nor bought by man, more precious
than the historic ones; as I can
...
