Murali Sivaramakrishnan Poems

1.

I love streamers and trailers.
Linked to something it might be easy to trail
Streaming in the wind.
...

I like to let the word fly about
Not tied down to its meanings
Like a dog on a leash
And be walked on the beach.
...

I sensed the struggle in mid-sleep.
Neither in dream nor awakened unease
The flutter and the tremor of misjudged flight
Out of long forgotten lore: perhaps, the last
...

As the first cotton seeds broke
and the fluff floated about in the fine breeze,
we ran in circles, you and I, catching the handfuls
only to blow them around;
...

My gods have a thousand eyes
a thousand pair of hands and feet
They travel up and down,
edgeways, sideways,
...

I write poetry for the main
as a private submission
of a brain
misguided by the song and march of words
...

<Red trees
in evening’s
darkening
glow.
...

All things remain unsaid till he leaves the room.
Now the parrot takes off from the low hanging branch just
Outside the window; there were three—only a whir of wings
To confirm the exit. The saying begins at first a faint murmur
...

I draw my dreams up tightly
around me every night
and make a soft cocoon of kingly wisdom.
In plain black and white I loll.

The Best Poem Of Murali Sivaramakrishnan

Poem

I love streamers and trailers.
Linked to something it might be easy to trail
Streaming in the wind.

But there is always something to follow.
I love sparklers lit on both sides
They are quick to sign off!

They leave a secret trail
Of streaming sense
Written in the blackness of coal.
