Lake in Kollam



Chinese fishing nets along the lakeshore
Waiting for fishes to find their way to the net
It was a surprise as it was seen mostly in Kochi 
I watched the nets from the boat jetty
Enjoying the peace and the breeze 
Explored the lake that looked huge
Away from the bustles of the cities 
Children were playing in the shallow waters
There is a temple nearby with plenty of trees
There were concrete benches for relaxing 
It was a tourist place that attracted strangers 
With my friend, I waited for the bus
From the distance, we saw a huge boat
Full of passengers, heading towards the jetty
We wondered why we didn't come by that boat!

Rain - A curse




Rain evokes fond memories of a hilly village
Magically transforming the idle soil green
Springs drooling towards the river downhill
Barren canal uphill raising pool of tadpoles  
Paddy fields brimming again before harvest
Transformation of a lean river into a monster
That overpowers the old stone bridge ferociously
But it never took any life nor displaced people

 
Now, rain evokes haunting memories of a forgettable past
Echo of the rain droplets brought life back to scars in the heart
Bringing back the shades of beloved voices that opted silence
Along with the dreams and romances that they left behind
The untold truths are hiding in some distant hearts for long
Leaves the mind emotionally drained and craving for closure
Making the lonely nights unbearable with endless thoughts
Depraving the mind peace and sleep, an unforgiving torture


 Rain, Raindrops, Seasons, Water, Macro, Road, Way

Darkness




There is light in the darkness
There is silence in the darkness
There is joy in the darkness
There is naughtiness in the darkness
There is emptiness in the darkness
There is soul in the darkness
There is love in the dark
There is pain in the dark
There is weakness in the darkness
 There is inspiration in the darkness

Some Moments




Some moments bring happiness
Some moments impose pain 
Some moments are cherished 
Some moments are beginnings
Some moments are endings 
Some moments are disappointing 
Some moments define life 
Some moments change life 
Some moments captures love
Some moments captures heartbreak
Some moments captures death 
Some moments are hard to forget
Some moments are painful to remember
But those moments are here to say
Deep inside the heart forever

Give back





Give back my right
Give back my land
Give back my pride
Give back my soul
Give back my values
I wish to live with freedom
I wish to live with peace
I wish to live with equality
Even for one day here
I live in this soulless state
Where passion is seen during cricket
Or during a war
Where everyone is corrupted in mind
I live in this lawless state
Where anyone can kill at will!
