Susanta Pattnayak Poems

She dreams, no more.
The rise and the fall of the waves,
the dancing of the breeze,
the symphony of the wind,
...

When from its nest, the babyish sun
Nestles in my window, curls
Into my room, snuggles
Down into my blanket, cuddles
...

High above is the garden
Wide and long, far and beyond
And when on earth the night falls
With its velvety veil
...

Sixty-Five and I'm hearty and strong
My Children, you'r so young
Young 'r your dreams
Fearless your mind
...

I may die unknown
Buried, burnt or may be thrown
Into some corner of a hell
Than to long for a life
...

When dark drops down through the pine pins
And when a baby dove
Closes herself to her mother's warm wings
Then, through the stripes of the coconut leaves
...

Stars, galaxies, clusters and super-clusters
This is my universe of some billion light years,
So is yours..
Riding a light beam, I darted for yours,
...

Sea,
My wife and I
...

Forest
Has always been a thrilling mystery to me
Mysterious as the tells, told by my Nanny
In many a moon glittery nights
...

A bright sunny day
After days of incessant rain
When thin silvery clouds pass leisurely
Wind is also in no hurry
...

O thou internet
thee my confidant
be my ambassador
ferry my bashful silence
...

Those four close friends
The four bosom chums
When they met after years
Greeted with wild hugs, loud and ecstatic
...

Millions of water strings
Playing for a high pitch
Rain at its best
Thunderous outside.
...

O' Sculptor
With your hammer and chisel
carve my body granite
chisel my lines and the curves
...

She stands decorated
With knitted bouquets of cheerful incense
To open the doors with her untiring hands
O Journeyer! ,
...

Unzipped lips
unsealed tongue
profound the truth
likewise,
...

Look not back,
Leave your being,
Hold my hand,
And fly.
...

Fly with a fairy little wind
Flow with a misty little spring
Sing with the humming bees
Dance with a courteous daisy
...

I never knew
One can see with closed eyes
Till, I closed my eyes.
...

Mountain, the priceless abode
of exquisite landscape and nostalgic tranquility
Alike, a behemoth archive of some priceless crust
Look, as your vision carries your sight,
...

The Best Poem Of Susanta Pattnayak

Caged Dreams

She dreams, no more.
The rise and the fall of the waves,
the dancing of the breeze,
the symphony of the wind,
the colors of the seasons,
the twilight, moonlit nights
all cease in smoke
under the suffocating arms of
some demonic beast
who ruptures her to dust.

She dreams no more.
Dreams have gathered dust
also a thick coat of rust.
Blurry in her mind, the day,
when she was caged
her voice was squashed
her wings were clipped
and was passed from hand to hand
for mere amusement and joy.

She dreams of
her mother, her father
in the darkness of
night, every night...
Spreading their hands from heaven
the two bright little stars
wait, twinkling for her
night after night, every night.

She dreams of
the strengths of the invincible
the powers of the inaccessible
to annihilate the brutality
and rest beside her mother
eternally till eternity.
