Rev. Viji Eapen

I wish I was solitude,
So that I could be a friend to many,
Both for the rich and poor
Both for the wise and fool
...

Oh! the cruelest, longest and hottest season,
When my Maple and Oak cried,
I didn't know that you were so near,
To tear me apart.
...

I've a ferryboat and an oar
And I know to row
But, I can't,
For I've a ferryboat
...

Oh! God,
It is still raining,
And I am still praying.
Not for the rain to stop,
...

I told them
That it was a sunny night,
And, they said no.
'How could the night be so sunny? '
...

(This is a Sonnet in Iambic Tetra Meter with aaaabbbb, bbbcca rhyming scheme.)

The dark-fledged night is here and near,
And moon-lit night is found no where.
...

Let me not love,
For they say,
I don't know how to love.
I met love,
...

It is morning again,
But night was a gain!
For, then I had a hope
That morning had a scope
...

Dead, am I
For, I've lost my senses -
To see, to hear, to taste, to feel, to smell.
If I had not,
...

'Good Bye! ', I told her
