Rajesh Thankappan Poems

I saw the poet write
Brilliantly bright,
A sublime poetry
With intricate artistry.
...

Are we no more than mere puppets
Remote controlled by the secret strings of fate?
Or are we just a passing eyewitness
Watching a puppetry show being staged?
...

Little lamb, little lamb
Why don't you bleat?
I can tell you
You sound so sweet.
...

I would love to let it go
Would then love to see it grow
Love to see it bloom one day
To pluck its fruits ripened in the sunray -
...

I blew air and the pipe piped
A tune full of joy and delight,
I blew the pipe for sometime on
The tune soon turned into a song.
...

Your remembrance
Are my thoughts
In which I delve
For sustenance.
...

A soothing balm is good music
For it can provide succour even to the sick
It has in it rhythm and harmony
Sweetness that we experience in melody.
...

The dove of peace
That graced the azure sky
Was shot down
By a nice young guy
...

When there is no rain
Farmers groan in pain
And with unseasonal rain
There produce flood the drains.
...

The child was unfortunately washed away by the tide
For after a prolonged struggle he had died,
Leaving his parents in a sea of shore-less grief
From where they can’t find relief, even tantalizingly brief.
...
