A Word For Neva………… Poem by P.R. Harikumar

Oh, Neva…
I see your waves flowing thru
The eyes of my beloved
Oh, Neva..
Beside your banks
Once in October
History became red
Was it a shadow of anything unreal?
And now –
You are in search of
A new face totally different.
I like you as my river Periyaar-
Which lost its glorious past,
Runs now as a slim and silly snake,
It is also in search of a new destiny.

Oh, Neva..
Tell me –
Still you live in the past?
Are you still flowing with your old dreams?
Tell me-
Where are you…?
