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,
...
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
...
Savitri - A Legend
In a forest deep where shadows fall,
Satyavan swung his axe so tall.
...
Home is not made of bricks and beams,
But built in trust and silent dreams.
Not just a roof or walls around,
But where true love and grace are found.
...
[A Song for the Lovely Daughters of the World]
They walk on earth with feet so light,
Yet carry storms and hearts so bright.
...
it's 3: 03 AM.
rain taps soft requiems
on my cracked window,
but this city breathes in pixels—
...
They walked through storms with a silent smile,
The thunder bowed to their grace all the while.
No trumpet sang but battles won,
The sun rose when night was done.
...
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.
