Cold pebble on my palm
From the river shore I slept in calm
It brings me a smile back
It also takes an aisle back
I saw many pebbles on the shore
Only took the one in my hand
It is mossy and slippery
It also shines tricky
Reminds me of an old heart,
I found on that page set us apart
It read lies not poem
It had only me in mayhem
പതുക്കെയാണ് മരണം ,
ദിവസങ്ങൾക്കൊടുവിൽ ,
പരക്കെയുള്ള നീളൻ പിടച്ചിടലുകൾക്കൊടുവിൽ
പതുക്കെയാണ് മരണം ,
കാത്തിരിപ്പിനൊടുവിൽ
കലർപ്പുള്ള വേനൽ
കാറ്റിനും മഴയ്ക്കുമൊടുവിൽ
പതുക്കെയാണ് മരണം ,
പലർക്കും നിനക്കുമെനിക്കും
നേരറിയാത്ത, നിഴൽ
പറഞ്ഞ കഥയ്ക്കൊടുവിൽ
കഥയ്ക്കുള്ളിൽ കാറ്റും മഴയും കുറച്ചു പിടച്ചിലുകളും മാത്രം
പതുക്കെയല്ലത്..
പ്രാണനറിഞ്ഞത് .
“Talk in silence”
“I did that a lot”
She waited between the stars..
Then befriended frivolous poetry
Distance clouding her words,
Dreams poisoning her thoughts
“Tonight you failed “
“You no longer belong to the stars”
She looked at silence and words
One cut her throat before other choke her to death
“She could have stayed in Waiting “
“Oh I think Waiting was more beautiful than Her “
“Love, how many squabbles
How many fluttering pages
And how many mountains of grey
We still need to cross ..? “
He stands unarmed
Stays in the maze
This sight every time..
It burns my soul every time
He stares at nothingness
Like there is a trade happening
Pain and pity heart full
Dreams and daisies handful
I hv lived with your love and hate
Ruthlessly you have pushed me like a bate
Why is it always feels like a new death
Whenever you leave me
In the banks of promises
Master, I was deeply in love
You came back each time
My skin wasnt ready
My soul screamed in disgrace
At times, its difficult
Because I made love,
More with the soiled words
Than the rosy buds
