Every street is my Shelter

I was born a few years ago.
Not many years have passed by, being on earth.
Neither do I know how I was born.
Nor if it made my mother happy.
Sometimes, I feel I am a burden to her.
Every street is my home since I was born.
I sleep in the corners …

I was born a few years ago.
Not many years have passed by, being on earth.
Neither do I know how I was born.
Nor if it made my mother happy.
Sometimes, I feel I am a burden to her.
Every street is my home since I was born.
I sleep in the corners and on the hard cement bed.

Birds in the Spring

– K Radhakumar Sometimes I dreamt about animals. I had seen white tigers And many strange animals in the zoo. A happy childhood I had. One day I saw a bird’s nest With two colourful eggs in it. It was simply beautiful And had been designed To blend in with the surroundings. I did not […]

The Dawn of Darkness

It is a strange night;
A long, long night.
I lay sleepless…
This strange night is a bitch.
So is life.
Or rather my life.

A Stranger in Disguise

You were a plain stranger to me, when I first saw you
A young lad of twenty, I supposed.
Merely any attraction or interests you left behind
This all I barely could say about my first encounter with
you.

The Visitor

No doorbell announced the arrival of the visitor;
He just turned up one fine morning
And stayed put in the guest house
Full of visitors like him.

26 Rowland Road

Cars and cars and cars
Here, there and everywhere
Cars of all makes
Brand-new cars, very old cars,
A motorcyclist gliding
Through the narrow space amongst the cars,
Coloured taxis laden with luggage
Oh, Kolkata!

Ye rogues!
Never touch the tender skin
That ever remains unbeaten,
No no, let me take him with me
He is a guiltless child of mine
Give him back to me, his mother.

Let me live and feel life

Tonight, the waves seem gentler
and the moon’s white light curves softly to me.
The trees cease their restless shaking
and urge my thoughts to sit peacefully

A Day Is Passed Away

From a height
The hawk has
A bird’s eye view
Of the grey waters below.
The hawk swoops down
On the shoals of fish
And catches one.

My casual morning walk of that day

Down the street, as I walked up,
My mind meandered free;
My limbs glided light,
I felt the warmth of the inviting day.

The Beginning of the End

If one believes in the Creation
The making of the world by God –
And it’s a big if
In the hard times one lives in –
The matter is simple.

The last steps
With a note of acceptance
