Kesav Venkat Easwaran Poems

I want to dwell in the valley of that mount
On the banks of that wild river,
Where bushes of fragrance aplenty would swing,
Where a thousand sweet birds would sing,
...

(for breakfast lunch and dinner)

Dawn...
...

Let me tell you
What I enjoyed this dawn:
Got up at my usual hour;
No hangover, no frown;
...

Poets take up a theme
Or a subject to their liking
Combine words that come to them
The way their thoughts unwind
...

The flowers
They smile more than
they speak
What a way to present
...

From dawn to dusk, pursuing hot
my righteous crooked ways
divine bewitching in her smile
urging to go outright,
...

Tears shed secret
Known lone to mind
Eyes dry prevent
Ready to lie, pretend to smile
...

I wanted to write a poem
Wanted to tell a tale
But knew not how to rhyme
No words I could avail
...

Of late, I have quit
Telling stories to
My niece's daughter Tit;
...

A small part out of all the happiness thine,
My Lord, I request thee to part with me
May that part purify all the parts in me!
My body, my intelligence, my mind-
...
