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
...

Father,
O' my dearest father!
Look at me,
I ‘m your sweet little daughter,
...

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

When shadows fall and storms arise,
Still fix your gaze upon the skies.
Let doubt not dim what you must do—
Do your duty, firm and true.
...

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
...

Wake up, the sun is shining bright,
Chase your dreams with all your might.
New day means a brand new start,
Fill it with hope, strength, and heart.
...

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
...

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,
...
