GOBINDA SAHOO Poems

The family and all fraternity
At the bottom of heart, all Love carry
In blood cells, every fear they bury
I've lived in wishes of all fellowmen
...

When from the pavement of time
I unfold the war wounds
The multitude of stars
Moons and suns
...

I knew
The ball was not in my court
Nor ever thought to have even.
It was but fighting
...

The land to which you owe
The mother on whose grey lap you grow
Might be with all gracefulness
Showering blessings with all gracefulness
...

Climb it in the formula of steps of the date palm
you provoked to climb
they have but slowly touched the end
Okay! At the offer of a mere seat
...

For generations stands high headed
the banyan tree massive
at the dead-end of the village
to the left of the trail.
...
