Balachandran Chullikkaad (1954 -

[ Famous works: Pathinettu Kavithakal (18 poems), Amavaasi, Maanasantharam (Remorse)...]  


18 Poems,

18 birds in,

18000 ears.

Beatings on the large drum,

Screaming and wriggling,

Thoughts of the victim.


The boy grew in spirits,

Imbibing romantic Changambuzha.

The rennet flowers, you rejected,

Glows forever in my heaven.


You ran away from the musical strings,

Without singing even a single note,

Still, it sings the beauty of love,

Abandoned in the woods.


A tied-up childhood,

From the village Medows,

Wandered in the forest,

With fire and light,

In search of the infinite blue sky.

Chullikkattil, Balachandran.


In the fear of the dark moon,

In an oppressed childhood,

Climbed 18 steps.


To see the son,

In his shades,

Father's remorse started singing,


Not surrender to death,

Not finding peace even in fire,

In the heat of the time,

Wandered wild and clueless.


I am the fire born in fire.

Fire that rises from the dark.

Sailing in the middle of a stormy sea.

Balan, the boy. Chandran, the moon.

Balachandran.


I can still pour,

The songs of love,

like the old wine

In the new strings.

Vigorous romantic songs.
