The shadow that follows me..


        

  The shadow that follows me...

The shadow.. the shadow.. you are with me

The shadow.. the shadow.. you always follow me

But the shadow is big, that seems not to like me

But I love this shadow. You are with me.
the shadow is big 
when light is close to me
the shadow is small
when light is away from me.


 I am an opaque body full of dilemmas

But you gave me “this flesh and blood”

I believe in it, more than my wandering mind

When I am farther from home.

In the light of memories

 Its become bigger and bigger

It’s become closer and closer

 Lay a hand on me that’s only a friend of mine.

O” father, you the shadow that follows me

O” father, you the shadow that follows me



In the hot summer that you are the shade for me.

Like an evergreen tree with blooms for me

 You lead me in lonely ferocious streets with courage

In street light, you came as the shadow for me

In the moonlight, you smile and hide
As the background the dark sky for me

And silently look at me with symbolic gestures

From the starry skies, you always shine

The shadow taught  “dare to live”.

The shadow “that real for me”.

O” father, You the shadow that follows me.





The shadow trails with me

 In the platform and careless periods of sleep

While misplaces the bags and purses in the train

 You the shadow that reminds me.



 "In my journey of life; you aren’t with me

Still, I reach hometown

Your hairy caring hands are close to me
He leads and his shadow follows me"

O” father O” father your shadow follows me,

Your shadow,  your shadow that follows me.

മാമ്പൂവ്

    മാമ്പൂവ് മാമ്പൂവ്  മണക്കുന്ന മകര മാസം  മനസോടിച്ചെല്ലുന്നു മാഞ്ചോട്ടിൽ  മാനത്തുനോക്കി ഇളം കാറ്റിൽ  ആടുന്നു മാകന്ദ പൂമകുടം. പൊൻവെയിലിലോ കണ...
