Old man by the coconut tree....

In the quite of the night
You may hear me hear me at times
Sighing crying i dont know which
Forsaken by the lord for m not worth a dime

Inside this carcass do i now dwell
Wishing theres only so much left of me,
Only if i could speed things up
And move to the other side to be free

Looking back at the by gone years
Breaking my back in the sea of oil
Come back for just a while
To see the part of me smile

Decades twin did past
To my land did i return at last
The coins the one to share it
I had it all, lil did i know things change so fast.

Carcinoma they said it was
Lot did the people try but alas
Said it had travelled in her body
Said it had travelled a bit too fast.

The part of me came of age
It was time for him to move
The bells for him were to ring soon
Frankly that day i felt really blue

What transpired later i don't wanna say
For gives me pain as it were
Here do i lay in the open, my part inside
What went wrong sometimes i wonder

daughter for a son did i make a barter
That i inherited a stranger
Was a different matter
Were only pieces of me in the end left to gather

Knowing many things will now not happen,
I wish them farewell
pass them on to my part down  line.
I honor my regrets

The part of me that never happened
or happened wrong
and proceed on course
the course is not unknown.

The cough in the damp is relentless
With none but my cur to my side
whether you here or not
Your recall rejoice in even your absence.

If I had known,
I'd have come here better equipped
Lived every day with you
That was to live.

My heart is now faint as the step of a child
A river runs under my breath
A lion when i sleep awakes
hell inside the house will now make

Read about a magic potion some day
Will make it all go away they say
Pancuronium with diazepam they said it was
Whatever in the world was for me it was a ray.

But for all have to live out their time
here i wait for the angel to come
To take me to the rightfully mine
Come here and fly me away

Well its been quite some time since my last post and the very reason for it was that i have been lazy.
Few of my last days were spent at a place called thrichur in kerela. A good place to stay but it were the people that moved me the most.
The next post that follows is about someone whom i saw day in and day out , the mornings i saw i smile cutting fish or vegetables, working but nights....nights were different.
I wish he is in good health or i wish he is not.....i dont know.
I wish him peace.

A dream by the sea....

On the salt trailed track
did it rain the sea,
Through the slit in the sky
the sailor says " are the gods angry at me?"

Through the solitary swirls,
did they dry the cracks...
Tearing as they went..
through the the watery tracks...

A sailor`s ode to the dream of the other side,
a strange paradise lurking about,
Altering scenery chilled by the storm
snapping away no matter how loud did he shout.

Within the corals did they sink
in it was voyage of the keel,
Pit of debris,everything fell into you,
standing was the sailor in the prow of the vessel.

Lying on the deck so did he dream,
of his hour of departure the hard and cold
Which holds fast to all the timetables.
he said would be at peace or so he told

Opend his eyes did he,
on the comfort the grass he dreamt of
Clouds moved in all directions, part blue part red,
thought at time did the sea let go

But the sea to its nature ,
did hold its belongings to the flow,
The spray, the keel, the prow,
in this land too did they follw....
