SACRED LAMP AT DUSK: POEMS OF EDASSERI TRANSLATED INTO ENGLISH

<p>'In the midnight cosmos&rsquo; loft</p><p>Where only emptiness prevails</p><p>Magic lanterns are lit in arrays.</p><p>She stands languidly by wayside</p><p>Smoothening tangled hair tresses</p><p>A coy smile graces her pretty face. &nbsp;</p><p>Wicked youth wander into late night</p><p>Lured and skilfully led by her artful tact</p><p>On the palm&rsquo;s summit they&rsquo;re positioned</p><p>A seven-storied mansion it seems to them.</p><p>As they slumber ensnared by her magic touch&nbsp;</p><p>She drinks their saline crimson blood slurping.</p><p>Bones and hair are scattered on the hard rock</p><p>On the other side of the Parayan hill.'</p><p>From the poem Ode to Pootham</p>
