RAVIKIRAN ARAKKAL Poems

He was a common boy,
Walking on the path
Of the Temple tank,
Saw a boy trying
...

From here I can see
The art of the sky,
Shrouded by the aprtments,
But a hundred kilometers
...

Till yesterday, it sat
On the powerline,
And the tree in the yard,
Sang soulful songs,
...

He looked at various dames,
Watched them in detail,
Following unknown
To their homes' premises,
...

She cried for
She had to travel
A long distance,
After her studies
...

She rode a powerful
Motorbike, crossed
Two countries in europe
Inside one hour,
...

In hunger they lolled,
Not even to work,
For apiece of bread,
Without no school
...

She went around
The warcamps with
A hurricane lamp,
Nurisng the wounded
...

The heat simmered on the ground,
Road, all around, with the hot air
Blowing with a vengence,
When it grew dark, by the dark clouds,
...

Marriage is a carriage,

Life spent ina barrage.
...
