കറുത്ത
രാവുതിർത്തു
കോർത്തുതീർത്ത
നേർത്ത
മഞ്ഞുമുത്തുമാല
ചാർത്തിഞാനുണർന്നു
കൺതുറന്നു,
പിന്നെ
ഓർത്തെടുത്തു
-
സത്യമാം
സു സ്വപ്നമെത്രസത്യമാം
തണുത്തുറഞ്ഞ 
വന്യമാം
വിഷം കലർന്ന
ബാഷ്പമാം
-
അറിഞ്ഞതും
വിയർത്തു ഞാൻ
വിറച്ചു ഞാൻ
അറച്ചു ഞാൻ
ഒളിച്ചുവച്ച
കണ്ണുനീർ
കുറച്ചതിൽ
ഉതിർത്തി ഞാൻ
ഉടൻ
കലർത്തിയാ
കറുത്ത
രാവുതിർത്തനേർത്ത
മുത്തുമണികളിൻ
കണങ്ങളെ

The Old Man at the Beach

 
I met this man at Basent Nagar beach today and this is what happened...
I was sitting at the beach. A young mother and her little boy came and sat near me. This old man who was been begging in the area, came close and asked her for money. The little boy, hardly 3 years old, shouted at him "No no. I dont have any money.". It looked like he was been following what his parents normally do, but in a more innocent way. The beggar gently took a biscuit packet from his pocket and said "Oh is it? Then shall I give you something back." It looked like he was quite angry with the mom and child and was mocking at them. The mother just smiled and politely gave that biscut packet back. She then walked away with the kid. 
The old man then came close to me. He was murmuring something. I was expecting these words from his mouth with that angry expression he carried on his face. "Uhh, see sir how these days kids are behaving." 
Instead he said " Look sir, I am so surprised. How smart the kids are these days. So cute isnt it ? At his age, I was so scared to talk to anyone" And he just walked away... with the same expression... 
That expression wasn't of anger, it was of surprise. He sounded like a caring grandpa...

Attitude

Missing the passion of solitude,
When creativity was at its peak.
Missing the pain of rejection,
When craft was the only thing to seek.
Missing the gain of rejection.
And the compassion of solitude.
Missing the moments of being myself.
Wilder the ways of artist 
Wider the gratitude to the attitude.
