You and me
You see me in you
As I see you as myself
Your pain I can feel
My joy I share with you.
We are the people of this world
Who have the same Sun and Moon
We see the same stars above and smile with roses.
Breeze we find on the shore, with which our thoughts fly.
We reel under hunger,sometimes war
Viruses scare us so do cyclones and thunder.
Only to rest our head on the next shoulder.
We see us in our neighbour and each other.
Love , care, help and share
We need each other now and ever.
Peace on earth in every way.
Man is now wise ,so to say.
നാളെയുണരുമ്പോൾ
WHY?
ഭൂമി- ഒരു ഫ്ലാഷ് ബാക്ക്
പ്രളയം- ഓണം 2018
പ്രളയം2018
ഭയമുണ്ട് ! സൂര്യൻ മേഘഭോജനമായി !
ഭയമുണ്ട് ! ജലം വീട് മൂടുകയായി !
തണുപ്പുണ്ട് ! മേനി തളരുകയായി !
വിശപ്പുണ്ട് ! കണ്ണ് മങ്ങുകയായി !
ഇനിയെത്രനേരം ? ഈ തട്ടിൻ പുറത്ത് ?
നനഞ്ഞ തുണിപോലെ ഞാൻ .
താഴെ , കടലായി എന്റെ നാടൊഴുകുന്നു.
അയൽക്കാർ അലറിവിളിക്കുന്നു .
അമ്മിണിയും, നാണിയും ,പൂവാലിയും
നൂറ്റാണ്ടിലെ മഹാ പ്രളയം കവരുമവരെ !
പട്ടാളം കണ്ടില്ല , വഞ്ചിക്കാർ തിരഞ്ഞില്ല !
മന്ത്രിമാർ ഓർത്തതേയില്ല ! ഞാനിവിടുണ്ടെന്ന് !
വരുമവൾ എന്നെത്തേടി ! “കുറിഞ്ഞീ ” എന്ന് വിളിച്ച് . ..
My smallest thoughts
1
Run till you rear
Wings with feather
Dashing speed to sound the echo as they flutter
In the sky so clear
From dust down here.

Worries make you feel confused.
Between devil and deep sea your thoughts dispersed
No solution anywhere to be found.
Look into your heart for the answers you searched.
Be happy now it is time to be relaxed.

Watching only videos
I travel to distant corners of the world
With civilizations lost
Species extinct
Flowers deep in forests.
I travel on sail boats
And join emperors in battle.
Climate change
Our nation’s political stage
All I see on my computer screen.

As quiet as night
With a pair of green eyes bright
Cuddles on my lap my cat.

When pathways end
The journey has to continue
By wings of the mind.
Song of a lost sea bird
Twilight hours, the people return
Come to your enclosure, my carer calls
Today rushed away quick, tourists plenty
Human beings and their noises!
Enters dewy sunshine, turning warm
My feathers white and red.
Every morning ,weeds I eat,
When pool set, I wade merrily.
Rowing in the pool , trying to chase me
They have fun, throw cookies at me.
Time hurries ,I reject worries
But when night falls, memories begin to shine.
We were together and happy and free
Flying over snow,pine trees and huge mountains
We left our trails on the plains and fields
Over the green trees on to the sea shore .
Rusting right amidst the waves stood
Housed light alone ,to frighten the dark sea.
We found a home there , made it heaven
I sat on the eggs while he went for prey.
When I found human visitors in our house
I felt our dream vanishing before it forms
Devastated nest, broken shells , send thoughts
Painful , to my new abode in the water park.
Reversing thoughts can be done ,but deeds ; not!
Why my tears to make you enjoy a date on water?
A family I had , my land distant ,abundant freedom
Every dream does turn into vapour as life boils.

യുദ്ധവിരാമം
സിന്ധു നദിയിലൂടെ ഒരു തോണി മെല്ലെ കര ലക്ഷ്യമാക്കി വരുന്നു . തോണി തുഴയുന്ന സുശീല നന്നേ ക്ഷീണിതയായിരുന്നു.
Worries of the Jungle
Friends, running through the tall grass
Waterholes, where remained we cool.
Hollow trees gave lessons ,every life is important
To live and let live is the nature’s rule.
Enter into this darkness of trees , their leaves wet
A world so silent with non stop music of cicadas
The damp ground smells dung and fallen fruits
We find our way to the eternal joy , our habitat.
Friends the forest lies broken in our present
Runways to fly up and cry for us
Our jungle tracks cross their highways
Their traffic rules ,difficult to learn.
Entire world wants change , we fear
Our lives too change to not free in our ways.
Friends, we will no longer roam the jungle
We hope to meet in pages of red data book.
Arrive quickly to term us extinct
Send us to reserves , but what about you?
We need our space , try not to push us out
The world is yours ,ours too.
