Poems by P. L. Sreedharan
WHERE IS MY EYE ? Getting the rotten words beat and bite, Truth goes alone! Seeing stainless deeds lying on the pavements Humanity hides face. Sacred love, peeps through the button hole turns pale by the man-made oceans! Hearing the harsh, inquisitive Breasts rush to the roads but recedes as buds seen chewed and charred. When fence is found guilty of destroying crops Monsoon shrinks and retrieves. Passion sinks in the depth of fashion; Half mad and half nude flowers exhibitted on the Rickshaw stands, nipple cut in the corridors of silence. As laments of lap echo on the blank cheques the heat waves turn the leaves. fugitive clouds look for the Money Orders' arrival, at the barred windows, heaving deep sighs, I, too, am in search of my eyes! |
THERE IS ONLY ONE ROOF What a thirsty thought that We require air for all, water for all, ware for all, ways for all and We require food and foot for all.. What a bounteous thought that We recieve letter to write, inlet to read, board to rub hands to lend and We receive words too to get and forget.. What a similar thought that We all do laugh, do weep, do resent and remember Though do not remain here always: What a united thought that We say the same, Think the same, Do the same, and Have the same, And, We, are One too Under the same Roof of the World. |
