Jayanta Mahapatra's Door of Paper,
A book of essays and memoirs,
Contains in the original thinking and reflection
Of Jayanta
With regard to his creativity,
What is poetry,
How has he held the views
And maintained?
The poetry of silence,
Memoirs and reflection,
Reverie and random thinking,
Appeal and purity
Talks he, dreams he,
Using and applying in vision and dream,
A dreamer and a visionary,
He thinks of the door of dreams
To slip out,
Gliding and slipping.
Mystery is like mantra and mantra mystery
And he trying
To catch the rhythm,
The cadence,
The intonation,
The syllabic beauty and succinct brevity
of wording.
The door of dream has to open
And opens it not,
But opens it when,
Pure feelings and emotions come to
With a purity of own,
Undefiled and genuine.
