Promise

 I am lost in vivid memories of winter

mornings in Birmingham, I used to

remain awake to hear your husky voice

All that sweet things you had in mind

I was intoxicated by your innocent love

It was cold outside and I was freezing

The distance between us was bridged

By Farmville game, texts, and our calls

You sold me dreams and wishes, With

your rosemary promises in those calls

It didn't bloom when I returned home

And came to your city to be with you

As you chose to move to hometown

With a man from a matrimonial portal

Fulfilling all the dreams of your family

Expatriate

 

Expatriates remind me of Malayalees

Going to the Middle East in search of riches

From my lush green state of Kerala, And

work their souls out in the desert heat

They save every dinar or riyal they could

And send it to their families every month

They miss every event in their family

Letters were the lifeline for information

Only heard the voices of the loved ones

From a telephone in the neighbourhood

They could visit home only once in two or

three years, They come with big bags

and boxes, Full of gifts for almost entire

the village, They return with a heavy heart,

Chasing more money to build a new home

And fulfil the dreams of their loved ones

Those men, their blood, and their sweat

Changed the fortune of millions of lives

Their sacrifices built modern Kerala

A tribute to the men, from an old era, who brought prosperity to my state Kerala! #vss365 #poetry #poem #POEMS #Kerala Image from Asianet

Love

 

                                  It is scary to wish for love again

                                  I've been through the dreaded

                                  Path before

                                  It is foolish to chase love again

                                  I've been through the agony of

                                  broken promises

                                  It is so painful to seek love again

                                  I've been through the emptiness of

                                  broken heart

                                  It is so bitter to dream of love again

                                  I've been through nights without

                                  any slumber

                                  It is so nightmarish to feel love again

                                  I've been through the river of deceit

                                  cold-hearted

                                  It is hopeless to welcome love again

                                  I've been through the sea of tears of

                                  unhealed soul
