Susanta Pattnayak Poems

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,
...
