ritty patnaik Poems

i am like a book,
open to you.
flip each page and see
how, in search of happiness
...

cascading water
of a mini waterfall,
giggles over the slope,
unmanageable,
...

i look behind, and take in
the last scene.
left all loved ones, memories
and relationships!
...

i am anywhere,
in any unknown seashore,
in the grains of sand,
in thunderous snowstorms
...

little time
for unfinished work
in quick hurry
for a palmfull of breath.
...

if we are not greedy,
we cannot sip the nectar
to the brim,
which will only make us
...

when you went back
to the cosmic house of yours,
you promised a quick return,
whenever and whereever,
...

the sun,
clad in firey orange, russet
returned, with glee
to be home,
...

i asked god one day
haven't i done enough
in this birth,
penance, retributions,
...

the oyster does not know
she holds a pearl in her,
as the rose, does not realise
she is in a bed of thorns!
...
