Govind Ramakrishnan Poems
Shiva and Shakti
Dancing in union
Spirit and matter
Primordially paired...
...
ripples on the lake
reflect many dancing moons~~
will you be my date?
...
this part of the park
where no sunlight trespasses
a swarm of fireflies
...
servers deftly hacked
country secrets compromised
cover up ensues
somewhere in scenic Moscow
...
Poets,
Moody to the core
With their finely tuned egos,
Often flying solo
...
in far away Orion
amidst its imploding super nova
the cosmic hunter
with his sagacious third eye
...
with luscious red lips
she kisses the setting sun~~
goodbye till morrow
...
in the mirror
of a blood shot full moon
i glimpsed thy beauty
...

Govind Ramakrishnan Comments
As someone who dabbled in poetry in high school, I am humbled by the depth and breadth of Govind's collection of poems. From the topical and light, to the acute and profound, from the meditative and spiritual to the beautiful and sublime, yet in all cases lyrical and perceptive. Bravo - and I hope you long continue along this path of reflection and creative construction.
It's good to see that a highly motivated young activist and scholar is also trying to achieve something in the realm of poetry. Poetry needs youths who aspire to great undertakings, just as it needs their passion to woo the haughtiest of hearts. However, it also needs the mindset of a humble craftsman who potters in a workshop and forages for fresh materials. Heroic aspiration can make a poem top heavy, unless a groundwork of reflection has been laid. It's admirable to see a young person venture into this arena where rewards are intrinsic and achievements are hard to measure.
Saw, heard your Durga Kural. I am old, when a boy I recited a prayer to Savitr every morning. Seven decades ago. PH gave me a few centimeters. 'Deergaayushman bhava'. A.Madhavan
Superb poem. There is a mystical quality to this poem. Echo- Greek's pride and joy
Your poems are truly magical and uplifting to read. You write about a lot of interesting topics and your poems bring a vivid image to the forefront. I also notice your economy of words and the fact that most poems are less than 50 words. Amazing that you say so much with so little. Hallmark of a great poet
