യാത്ര - ജീവിതം ഭിക്ഷയാകുമ്പോൾ

നടന്നു തുടങ്ങി, എവിടേക്കെന്നറിയാതെ.

താണ്ടണം ഇനിയും ഏറെദൂരം 

ദിശ ഏതെന്നു തിരിയാതെ.

ചട്ടുകാലുമായി മുടന്തി നീങ്ങി 

ഒട്ടിയ വയറിനു ഭിക്ഷ നൽകാൻ.

കൈ കൂപ്പി വാങ്ങി കല്ലുകൾ,

കൈ കൂപ്പാതെ വാങ്ങി കരുണയും.

ആരുടെയോ ഔദാര്യം എന്നുടെ 

അവകാശം ആകുമ്പോൾ,

മൗനം ഉത്തരമായി.

താണ്ടണം ഇനിയും, ഏറെ ദൂരം...

പ്രളയം

പട്ടിണിയും പരിവട്ടവും,  വരിഞ്ഞു  മുറുക്കുന്ന  നിറ വയറും.  കുഴിച്ചു മൂടിയ ആഗ്രഹങ്ങൾ  വീര്യമേറും ലഹരിയായ് മോന്തിടുന്നു.  ആറടി മണ്ണിൽ അന്തിയുറക്കുവാൻ  ഈരടി പാട്ടുമായ് നീ വരുമ്പോൾ,  എന്നോ മറന്നൊരു ഇരുചക്രോപാദിക്കായ്  എവിടെയോ പാറി പറക്കുന്നു ഞാൻ...

Failure?

What's failure?  The question he always had an answer to...  "Have you tried sky diving yet"  Stunned by the quotation, the interviewer 1 couldn't hold back the excitement to where this interview is going.  "No" Why "Never occurred in mind I could gather courage or make time to do it", interviewer 1 opens up.  A fine gentlemen, carrying a water bottle like a gym maniac, following a strict diet from the looks of it. An answer such that is not expected from him though.  So, are you a failure?  It seems that you had failed to enjoy, experience new things and let fear stand in the way with empty cups in your memory slots.  Stunned, the interviewer.  "What in the... " Just let me tell you another example.  One could always shut the door so that he never has to open them again.  Here he failed to face reality and let his thoughts be overtaken by the fear.  Though, if that is his wish and achieved it, would that be his success? Or was...

The Cool Joker

 "So, what's your excuse this time?"  "This time, I won't deny that I didn't study. I just couldn't." The rusty fan came alive, making that weird noise - like it was laughing at me.  Did i just make another joke? "Oh, you dare say that straight to my face?  Tell me honestly, when did you sleep yesterday."  "Past 4" "And woke up at?"  "6:45..."  "Do you take this as a comedy? And just how can you still stand he...."  Interrupting the speech:  Habit. It's been like this for nearly 4-5 years. Well, specifically, after that.  And yes, i do feel sleepy - most of the time.  I feel it in my bones and tiny fragments... that i need a life that's not this complex.  Lost to express my feelings, always angry, devastated, tired, depressed, worried and God knows what else. And those few hours of sleep don't even feel like i own that sh*t anymore. Yeah, i was awake - my mind, at least.  Felt like my body...
