Akhil Gopakumar Poem
The sound of the bass
Triggered the noise
Just minutes to sunset
Music filled the streets
Paving the crowd
He stood beside me
Far away from the stage
He looked calm and discreet
Tired by the responsibilities
And the monotony of his work
For him, stardom's heaven
Loved and respected,
Envied by men,
And greeted by schmoes
A life he wished for
But love, his nemesis
Washed away his zeal
Took him far down
To a place
From where there was no escape
He stood numb, locked in dreams
He wished to stay there
With the noise at its peak
I watched my son
Lost in his world

Akhil Gopakumar Poem
Wake me up,
As I,m out of breath
I'm locked in dreams
Beyond my thoughts.
Fetters hustle towards me
To bind my conscience,
To consign me to oblivion.
Floating in the void, I'm moving
Towards premonition
What if things are predestined?
The only solution is anastasis.
Someone unchained me
Hands of the salvationist!.
My heartbeat raised.
Using all my strength,
I stirred backwards
Towards the angels.
But angels drift apart from me
My dream is collapsing.
Am I a fugitive?
Come on, dream on...
What if things are predestined?!
The only solution is anastasis.

Akhil Gopakumar Poem
Hello my friend, are you still awake!
Don't be afraid, don't go away
I'm not a delusion but a part of your mind
Trying to ease you at this time of day.
Tell me the reason why you still can't sleep
Is it pain, remorse, or the voice in your ears?
Unlock your doors, let me see your mind
Have faith in me, I'm allied to your life.
Be kind to yourself, its not your fault
You're not a cynic, so don't go astray
In this world of chaos and crime
Love is another luxury which you can't afford.
I'll sing a lullaby for you to sleep
Emancipate you from all your griefs
You're safe in my hands, I got your back
And I'll carry you till you are able to act.

Akhil Gopakumar Poem
Sun has crossed the eastern horizon
Water stirs the seeds in a fashion
Wake me as I'm lost in emotion
Flowing through your dreams and passion.
An angel reminds me of your absence
I'm waiting beneath the skies in patience
No one heeds me and thats just nonsense
Your smile is the one that binds my consience.
Look me,I'm only half human
Touch me,I'm burning to ashes
Lift me in your arms of haven
Love me,coz I'm a Demigod.

Akhil Gopakumar Poem
The feeling of anguish stared at me
Took my sight to the depth of his psyche
I got blind by his seer of visions
And my ears were filled with echoes of fear
Visions emerged every unit of time
As I lost myself in the labyrinths of his mind
All I could sense was hope and despair
Staring each other for fate to decide
Soon the conceit began to fade
I was freed from the chaotic space
And as I came to the factual world
I could feel his life in the tip of my hands
The power of ruth killed the beast in me
Before I knew, he was freed from me
And as I watched him come to life
I finally understood the meaning of a life.

Akhil Gopakumar Poem
I opened my eyes
Saw the darkness around me
Dear god, is this night eternal?
Or is this what I perceive?
Cold wind soothens me,
But my wound is still bleeding
A soft voice resonating,
Taking me to the past
In remembrance I relieved
The sound of vultures awoke me
I sat in the cold sand
My clothes bloodpaved
And my nose filled with the stench of the dead
Oh heavens, I cried
Why me? Why me in this mayhem?
I looked around
Soldiers of the past!
Now just flesh soaked in blood
Oh! Was I better?
A life in disguise
Trained and tortured, just for pride
Hills stared at me
While I watched the vultures feed
Oh! its just flesh
For their spirits will reincarnte
To satisfy the greedy world
In the midst of darkness I stood
Staring at the void
Awaiting death's reaper
