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
...
