Killing The Deathless Poem by Parameswaran Nair Damodaran Nair
Killing The Deathless
I went hunting treasure in words and deeds
They say the ocean fathoms miles deep
Holding immense treasure in the depths
I find no depths nor any hidden treasure
Wreckage of ships-full of hopes instead
Gripping fast to it empty shells sans pearls
Each shell contains a sea, each sea an ocean
Some of hot tears and some of lost cheers
No light delves nor waves stir them up
Coerced to be submerged always in dark
Truth floats dead, they say death is inevitable
Killing the deathless makes whose bread!
I will be coming back to read it again, simply to dive deep in the beautiful world of poetry.
Very impressive and thought provoking poem. all the truths or lies, pain or pleasure all that we have to express or reconcile is present in this beautiful poem.
A Mirage Wavers In The Distance that which we cannot reach obtain is like a mirage it wavers in sight distance like heat waves on a hot day it is illusion the closer we get the more it moves away Inspired by the poem 'Killing The Deathless' by the poet Parameswaran Nair Damodaran Nair. Dedicated to the poet Parameswaran Nair Damodaran Nair.
Thank you Terry Craddock. If we go searching the truth in other's words and deeds we can only see the dead truth floating above
'I went hunting treasure in words and deeds They say the ocean fathoms miles deep Holding immense treasure in the depths' that which we cannot reach obtain is like a mirage, it wavers in the distance like heat waves on a hot day, but it is illusion the closer we get the more it moves away

A deep philosophical poem on life. Lies and dishonesty have become norms of the day. People try to get filthy rich resorting to unfair means. Thanks for sharing.
Thank you very much dear AKP. Its a waste to believe the words and deeds of others. They kill truth and it floats dead. It gives no result if we go hunting the truth.It has become nthe life style of people to deceive others and away their treasure.
