Rajesh Thankappan Poems

Into the dark recesses of my elusive mind
I tiptoed silently with candlelight;
To thoughtfully watch the curious mind
That proliferate thoughts, away from my sight.
...

The history will, hide our ruins
The vibrant life of our time,
Roses will grow, birds shall sing
Over our concealed ruins.
...

All I need
Is a carrot and a stick
To teach my monkey
A new trick.
...

Night descended and a monkey fell asleep
But in the depth of night he woke up with a scream,
In his sleep he saw a horrible dream
His fruits were been stolen by a wily old thief.
...

When no road leads to harmony
When nothing synchronizes in sweet symphony
When disenchanted birds sing in acrimony
When flowery spring comes barren and unseen
...

Life shall testify
Whether one’s death
Shall be a mere
Dust or a speck.
...

The mural painted on the wall
Depicts a famous victory and a fall
The victorious emperor mounted on his regal horse
Surveys the battleground in deep remorse.
...

Oh God
I am in a fix
Nailed to a crucifix
With no road ahead
...

Let me from your sinuous lips
Down an ocean of ecstasy
And like a sailor on a treasure hunt
Drown my soul in precious fantasies.
...

When I said, ‘I hope, '
I really didn't harbour any
But still I went hop, hop,
Hope, hope,
...
