The chill of the winter morning
Brought me thoughts of mourning
And I sat musing and moaning
My brother never lived this morning
...
Yesterday is a day away
The anxieties not given away
As I learned to do away
Not this day but every day.

Our Own Pandemic
Colour Discrimination is one thing,

Come to the lovely down
The golden sands are lien
Amidst lichen hills beset
Barren but sparkling yet.
...
The class muses as they gather
The like ones do flock together
They stroll through each verse
Unable to swallow many words
...
You can't contain me in
A cubicle you put me in
A citizen from high above
Has a right place on earth

Back to School
The sun hasn't shown up this day,

Leaving is painful
Such a time to leave has come
A look of angush
Yet a time to look forward
...
Vacation to end
Desires within unending
So painful to leave
Life is such a long journey

Rocky Mountain peaks
Clouds moving over the cliff
Sky is overcast
Gloom prevails over the land
...
A straight sandy beach
Long walk I decide to take
Waves rocking beside
Cool breeze evokes my spirit
...
Come September come
Time of harvest festival
Time of relishing
Time of peace and harmony
...
Flowers blooming in and out of season,
For whom it blooms is still a mystery,
Mother nature for sure they do adorn
A balm soothing to any naked eye.

Kerala, the spice garden of the world,
The land of rains, soaked in beauty,
The spice lovers' spot since 3000 BC,
Is spiked with many 'Masala' flavours.

A Brother's Lament
The chill of the winter morning
Brought me thoughts of mourning
And I sat musing and moaning
My brother never lived this morning
Was he just a dear brother?
I do not know how I gather
All I know that he’s so dear
And my heart says he’s so near
How I longed to see him in the east
Coming back from the Middle East
But for sure I’ll meet him at the feast
When He comes from the glorious east.
