A FAREWELL TO MY 20 RUPEES COLA CAN




 Empty benches in the park at the seashore awaits the anticipated lovers.
Trees, willow, pines, almonds,
and many unnamed awaits the lovers too.
Evenings are the most beautiful days of our life.
Trees and corners keep the secret of age old love story.
The trustworthy and silent partners of every love stories.
 Zephyr kisses me with its freshness
and hugs me with the love of all lovers.
Innocence of kids makes the evening more loveable.
Anonymity becomes excitement.
Children marry the anonymity of their world.
Sound of their laugh, tears for their wantings,
Murmuring of lovers, deals of bussiness men,
songs of singing birds, rhythm of waves,
romance of couples, wooing of boys, laughs of peers,
wisdom of old age, crunching of fallen leaves,
dancing of trees, silence of the lonely in the midst of plenty,
and the hugs and kisses of zephyr for all and for me.
 A can of cola in my hands, left when it became empty inside.
 Day is getting late and the sound of evening getting more.
Endless end of the mighty waters,
Lights on trees coloured leaves blue,
red, yellow, violet, white, orange, and a mix of all.
Eyes felt a wet.
Tears on the corners of my defining eyes stagnated,
 Hesitating to drop it went back somewhere.
I don't know what caused the water in my eyes,
Sound of my silence being alienated from
the midst of plenty around me, may be.
Or the unconscious realization of being inside the structure
of structures and systems,
Or the unconscious marriage of the conscious
 with the realities that make me or I make,
I forget me, sometimes .
But I meet me when I am alone in the midst of plenty,
My reality exists inside the structure where I am,
not outside where my fiction, god (Nature).
Do I create them or they create me?
Nothing can exist alone, so both of those 'things' play.
Academic processes are getting over, exams,
seminars, discussions,and everything possibly inside the academic family.
Mine is partly over.
And away from the matrix of discourses,
 I exist with 'my composed realities' that make me strange,
numb, blind, deaf, and a new born baby
with another 'composed realities' to welcome a world of 'events'
where I also become an event.
Theories and philosophies I married,
discourses I conceived, 'composed academic structural realities' I delivered - will they survive when I shift my structural platforms?
 I fear what's next?
Where are my theories and philosophies I married?
'Texts' are written, life and events are texts, so written.
 I remember the text Bible - 'for everything that exists, already has been
 and everything that will, already is.'
Fear of shift is in my conscious mind,
and when I met me alone in the multitude on
 the seashore to the end of a day,
 my unconscious mind introduced my conscious mind.
My eyes are still wet, Zephyr hugs and kisses me through.
 I hear the sound of music,
 murmur, secret, laugh, smile, cry, fall, love, rest,
 anticipation, parting, inception, end, and the sound of silence.
 Everything remains the same, nothing is changed, but the 'realities around.'
A farewell to my 20 rupees cola can, I sucked the last drop of cola.
Walking back to my 'composed realities' from a platform of being nothing,
 I saw my 20 rupees cola can still loving the hugs and kisses of zephyr,
being nothing inside,
but graphically ornamented outside on the bench I existed.
A farewell to my 20 rupees cola can.

The Awkward Silence of the Enchanting Chasm

“Nam Sibyllam quidem Cumis ego ipse oculis meis vidi in ampulla pendere, et cum illi pueri dicerent: Sibylla ti theleis; respondebat illa: apothanein thelo.” Have I forgotten you? I don't like the way you faded into oblivion. Your glorious absence marveled at the absurdities of my life. Even the last remnants of your weird sight and smile create a whirlpool of the past and a hurricane of madness deep in the abyss of my conscience. Everywhere, in every form and matter, I see your dust. I teach myself to forget you and move ahead. The chaos of your story in mine is the absence of your existence in time-space. I weave each and every layer of your story so that I can tell my son, one day, how I survived on my own. I wonder whether it was your light or the shadow I painted, mostly in Prussian blue. They will hear the echoes of the deep enchanting chasm on my chest. I keep it echoing on my chest, so that I might tell my son on the shores of infinity that I had a story to tell.

Knowing

I know this: I am also a repetition. A continuation of forces older than my name, patterns that moved through generations and found their way into me. I do not carry them as burdens alone; I carry them as proofs. What has been tried before me did not end—it arrived. And I stand where it converges. I have never been lost—only moving through complexity. I have questioned, delayed, circled, cried but never diminished. Even when direction dissolved, something steadier than certainty kept me upright. What others call confusion was often preparation. What felt like stillness was alignment in motion. I was not failing to become; I was becoming without spectacle. There were moments when desire thinned, when the world stopped asking for urgency. Not emptiness—clarity. Noise fell away. False appetites dissolved. What remained was gravity, and gravity always tells the truth. I learned then that not everything needs to excite in order to matter. And so the world narrowed—not into loss, but into gr...

എന്റെ ഉപാസന

എന്റെ പ്രണയവും ഉപാസനയും ആയവൾക്ക്, എന്റെ തലമുറയുടെ മാതാവിന്,  എന്റെ ആകാശവും, ഭൂമിയുമായവൾക്കു, താരതമ്യങ്ങളില്ലാത്തൊരു സ്ത്രീയ്ക്ക്,  എന്റെ  പൂർണ്ണതയുടെ അവസാനമാകുന്നവൾക്ക്, എന്റെ കണ്ണുകളിലെക്കടലിലൂടെ  ഒരു യാനം പോലെ പ്രയാണം ചെയ്യുന്നവൾക്ക്- ഞാൻ നടന്ന വഴികളെല്ലാം നിന്നിലേക്കായിരുന്നു. നിന്നിലത്രെ ഞാൻ തീരുന്നതും.
