Why Poetry Amaze and Amuse Me ?

I have been asked, why do I attempt to write poems more, when a lot of prose can be written, when prose can convey much more than what poems do in a single read?

 I have always had, and still have a single and simple answer that each poem has a story. A story of someone’s pain, agony, love, loneliness, joy, success.

and then I have been asked why do most of my writings sound melancholic? 

The answer is quite simple again, what can you write about happiness when its best felt and absorbed? 

Pain, on the contrary needs to b shed from your head, and brain, and heart, and what more is better than poetry ?


Every poem has a story in it, every poem has a dream in it. Every poem has the poet’s heart in it.

നഗരം



നഗരത്തിനു വല്ലാത്ത ഒരു  വേഗമുണ്ടായിരുന്നു. ഇന്നു കാണുന്നതൊന്നും പിന്നീട് ഒരിക്കലും  കണ്ടില്ലെന്നു വരുന്ന അത്രയും വേഗം. അവളുടെ നഗ്ന ശരീരത്തില്വിരലുകള്ഓടിക്കുകയായിരുന്നു അവന്‍. അവള്പാതി മയക്കത്തിലും, ഇന്നലെകളുടെ പേടിപ്പെടുത്തുന്ന ഓര്മകളില്ലാത്ത, നാളേയുടെ ആവലതികളില്ലാത്ത, ഇന്നിന്റെ സ്വപ്നകള്കണ്ടുള്ള മയക്കം. നേരം പുലരും മുന്നേ, ഇരുട്ടിന്റെ ആഴങ്ങളിലേക്ക് അവന്നടന്നകന്നു.. കിടക്കയില്‍വീണുകിടന്ന ചുളിഞ്ഞു-മുഷിഞ്ഞ്അഴുക്ക് പുരണ്ട്  നോട്ടുകള്പെറുക്കിയെടുത്ത്അവളും നഗരത്തിന്റെ വേഗതയിലലിഞ്ഞു.

His Dreams

He weaved a world of vibrancy and ecstasy in her imagination, fascinated her heart by telling about his dreams, of his passions, a life filled with colors, lights and happiness. She couldn’t hesitate to push him off the edge into the darkest depths of pain, hurt and hatred. She lived his dream all by herself.

Making Peace With The Past

its been days, months, an year almost
since we parted our ways
my words have lost the voice
to reach your ears and ring
your eyes have lost the sight
to see me struggle alone

and today, today i could smile
for i made peace, with my past
not to try and stretch my pain
in vain, to get over you, your thoughts
but to accept that its over and
to cherish the memories for longer.
