SREEJITH KULAPARAMBIL Poems

Oh! Lord!
King of Kings!
You were the most powerful emperor
I had ever seen
...

On a rainy night
When I was utterly dismayed with life
Walking through the dark drenched street,
I saw an innocent child
...

A miniscule sperm I was,
When I entered the womb
Ran fleetly beating my counterparts
Searching the land of pleasance for solace
...

Every night you come in my dream
Flowing through my mind and body like a rampant stream
I thirstily wait for your presence
Like the droughty land waits,
...

My impuissance always haunted me like a nightmare,
I always stood alone even in a busy fair
My thoughts ghosted me like a vulture looking for its prey,
Even my spirit was bemused when indulged with life in a woozy fray
...

It's just a matter of time
One day I will be there,
On deathbed,
Lying bare and helpless
...

Saint, I proclaimed myself!
Until I saw her on that moonlit night,
My celibacy withered with the very thought of her sight,
The spirits were swinging like a swaying tree, out of gust,
...

Little lily in the pond
Spake to the sun with a taunt
“Your heat is blemishing my beauty”
Sun said, “O Dear! to render heat is my duty”
...

Down my memory lane,
I could hear the whispers of my heart's silent pain.
The agony of losing a sincere friend,
Even the words fail to explicate, how painful it really meant!
...

Subtle footsteps of a cold and insensate guest,
I heard it in my chest
Like a rustling noise of dry leaves in autumn
Treading whispers murmured in my auricles like a phantom
...
