Bashyam Narayanan Poems

Take your coin, I am no beggar

In our country
Beggars are less uncommon
...

Be ever enthused to be in touch with future

Future
Philosophers say
...

You need to thank God
Because
You are able to open up this piece,
Read, understand
...

You are hired
Only to be fired
Or to be retired
As desired
...

Will there be another time
I will be coming across or meeting you
A question that comes to my mind
Always when I cross a person
...

Long long ago
So long ago
No one knows how long ago
There ruled a king
...

The male mind in me, recently fallen to disgrace

It took nearly thirty years of twice-married life
For me to realize
...

The female mind in me, recently in the limelight for wrong reasons

It took about twenty years of twice-married life
And about seventeen years of widowhood
...

Twenty year old friendship

It was this month
Twenty years ago
...

Earth,
Mother Earth
In the big cosmic space
She is just a drop
...
