DEEPAK KUMAR PATTANAYAK Poems

With flowers or thorn or pain
"Nay, I cannot say, towards that place solemn
That our feet trod upon and seemed
Like no other ground of this earth upon we ever walked
...

I am a thing with souls unto soul
Deep half way down your temple
Of flesh and bone
I see an abode of sun
...

Forbearance
- - - - - - - - - -
When the riddle of life defies his powers
And rebels his fretted heart to cower
...

The stars twinkle afar
Dancing in the iridescent night sky
And in the presence of shimmering stars
The horizon looks darker
...

Home again
- - - - - - - -
To that place
Where it all began
...

Bridging the gap
- - - - - - - - - - - - -
When shivering leaves are off
The boughs damp and dun with grief
...

When you are hurt
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
Is it possible to avoid getting hurt
If someone you are hurting
...

An abstract rhyme
- - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
In places where fanaticism is wild
Does help it barbarism to breed
...

Guru and Disciple
- - - - - - - - - - - - - -
There exists difference
Between the light of the sun
...

Haiku-Identity
============
A bubble on the sea
To the sea asking what is
