Santhanagopalan Vasudevan Poems

When you'd come, and when you'd go
No one in this world does, for certain, know.
You cool the earth down all in one,
Though you yourself are burnt by the sun.
...

Wish I could cry
Over all my
Troubles so I
Could bid them goodbye.
...

There's no-one in this world who lives all alone.
Atleast there's none who can so survive.
None can do all things on one's own.
None has all skills, to by oneself, thrive.
...

Should the horse be blamed, if the rider lost his way?
Isn't it he, who makes it sway?

Over its eyes, a blinder is wound,
...

Riding my bike on a random day,
I notice another, ahead on the way
Driven by an attractive girl well dressed;
From a little behind, I'm easily impressed.
...

Lose all shyness; lose all shame.
Sensitivity - put off that flame.
Ridicule, fun, provokes and blame,
And for all such things, you better be game.
...

I may not be a life saving drug
But I'm an indispensable everyday meal.
I may not be a precious metal
But I'm a handy tool of steel.
...

Behind the clouds, streaks of light I see
I want to know what its source would be.
If only they make way soon
Can I see if it's a sun or moon.
...

Time, seen from a moving train, is an object too close;
You realize just after you cross, how fast it goes.
Standing far far away are those
Memories, to the heart, too close;
...
