Shankaran Kutty Poems

Why do my poems always sing
Tales of loss, sadness and woe
Of selfish folks and the tears they bring
I have asked myself, yet I do not know
...

I asked the Lord in my dreams one night
“When in your presence I find peace
Why do you drag me through this plight
Would my worries ever cease
...

Come hither children and I will tell you
Something from the past, so fun
A story that is so refreshingly new
Come, and I will tell every one
...

It lashes across the Kerala coast
The heaviest rains the nation can boast
Bursting promptly on the first of June
Behold! It is the Kerala Monsoon
...

Tall buildings line the distant horizon
Coconut trees sway as far as I can see
Squirting red, the setting sun
Shows its brilliance, just for me
...

The old year has gone by in a rush
Herald the New Year, so young and fresh
Forget the people who made you sad
Forget the events which made you feel bad
...

It was a Monday, early in the morn
When buses and vehicles were few
The fastest way to the railway station
Was across the graveyard, I knew
...

Sang a poet so long ago
If winter is here, can spring be far behind
But would I survive the harsh winter cold
And the frost that has frozen the mind
...

Twelve days of war had by then gone by
Thousands dead on the battlefield did lie
With Drona as the leader of the clan
The Kauravas hatched an evil plan
...

You sneak in through the balcony door
I have left it open so wide
And then I find you there no more
Pray where did you run and hide
...
