Drowning Inthe Void Poem by desamangalam ramakrishnan

There lies shattered a time of dreams
from the eyes pierced by my fore-finger.

Now you are stunned
by the bite of my abuse,
not thought of uttering
but occurred without my will.

Please wake up
I think my poison injected into you
would be healed
by the medicinal sap
squeezed out of my nerve-creepers.
Please wake up
from this darkened moment
open your fastened lips
and start again to chat with me.
How tenderly we used to chat each other
and don't know from which moment
we couldn't do so.
Our birds of amorous ticklings
now hide somewhere
frightened by our quarreling words.
Please be with me
let us call back our ticklings.

And now onwards
we shall stop
this ritual of drowning
in the waterless void.
