Narayana Raghavan

Sparkling in sky, in the dark of night
silence every where, peeping through windows
saw a flash of light, waiting for day and night
eons of rebirth, searching in endless sky
...

Psedomorphic and xenomorphic
cryptosis in alien body
mercurial smiles, entombed emotions
violet fumes emanating -
...

Thorns struck deep in flesh
trickling blood.
stumbling on sharp
edged pebbles,
...

I craved for her presence
when my body wilted
and emanated heat waves
...

She arose from fire
in midlist of chanting of hymns
sages and hermits uttering mantra
she was a flame, yellow and red
...

Our land is parched, cracked and longing for
drops of water to quench its thirst
fly not high oh' wandering clouds,
share your message with us
...

Time spins fast in cycles
only indicators left to lift souls from muck
jamun trees flowered
and fruits stained paths violet
...

Its autumn
leaves fall on ground dead
trees wave like ghosts
with spooky hands
...

Blue eyes deep as oceans
emotion fills mind
days spend with her-
smiles twinkle as stars
...

Happiness fills minds eye
gratification of senses
soul reaching highest platform
transcending boundaries
...

Peeping through windows and howling
witches danced in circles prowling
drinking from skull and sucking milk
black cats mewed and skewed in silk
...

Darkness every where show me some light, the fire
blinded for eons, craving for fluorescent dreams
mingled with thorny emotions boiling -
heart pumping hot molten lava
...

Fly with all might
transcending boundaries
subzero gravity
glide on to the red planet
...

Envy your dear ones, friends, kith and kin
greediness has no boundaries
blemishes deep, not healing
heart dead, in to ashes
...
