Tranquility

Come awhile
sit besides me
by this beautiful tree
as the sun goes down
and the night creeps in
silver waves on the shore
stealing kisses on her brow
hold me close
while my dreams they shine
in the dark blue sky
the breeze, the moon, the sea
You and I.

Baalyam

വസന്തങ്ങൾ ഓരോന്നായി കൊഴിഞ്ഞു വീഴവെ

 ജീവിതത്തിലെ സായാഹ്നങ്ങളിൽ

 ഇനിയും ബാല്യം കൊതിക്കുന്ന ഹൃദയവുമായി

 ഞാൻ ഈ വഴിത്തെരുവിൽ നില്ക്കവേ

 നീ വരുമോ ഒരിക്കൽക്കൂടി മറഞ്ഞു പോയ സ്നേഹ സൌഹൃദമേ

 ജീവനാം എന്റെ കളിക്കൂട്ടുകാരി

 തോരാത്ത മഴയുടെ ഈണവും കേട്ട്

 തീരaത്ത്  കഥകൾ ചൊല്ലുവാൻ

 പൊട്ടിച്ചിരിച്ചും, കരഞ്ഞും കളിയാക്കിയും

 വീണ്ടും ഒരു ബാല്യം സ്വന്തമാക്കുവാൻ

chitter chatter

The voice in my head goes  buzz  buzz all  day. Unfinished thoughts, they twirl and swirl and drop off dead in mid-sentences giving rise to fresh ones, quite like the untiring phoenix . I cant remember where I began but here I am, somewhere, some unturned, unseen corner, running with my thoughts struggling to keep up.

 I wake up long before dawn, the voice is alert and  up before I am.  Maybe,  I can smother it for a while If I keep staring at the dark hills and trick it into believing that I am still asleep.  All in vain, it gets louder and bossier, whizzing at supersonic speed. Why dont you go take a tour of the moon, I say!  Let me be!

I give up, buzz to your ravenous belly's desire. I give up.  My eyes gaze intently into the dark canopy of trees, still and slumbering. No noises shouting, demanding, asking impossible questions in their heads. Peaceful lives. Melting into the darkness of the open skies, dripping wet in the rain, celebrating the suns warmth, swaying with the lullabies of the wind.  They die, as they live, a life of acceptance. Would I rather have been a tree? mmm, not too sure about that. The birds are awake now, chirping and singing . My cue to go make tea..the voices have sobered down, got entangled in the root of some tree perhaps...:-)

Its going to be a great day!
