Bijay Kant Dubey Sun Poems

I see the poetry of Jayanta conjuring up
The images of the Konark Sun-temple
With the chariot of the Sun-god
Drawn by horses,
...

Jayanta Mahapatra is a poet of the Konark Sun-temple,
The chariot and the lions sitting
At entrances,
The erotic sculptures in love,
...

The Strong Sun of Chaitra-Vaisakh

The strong, burning, scorching sun of Chaitra-Vaisakh
Want I not to go, move out somewhere,
...

Chaitra-Vaisakh ki chilchilati dhup,
Garmi se bechain
Kahi peda ke neeche vishram karnaa,
Pyash se kahi jaatei huyei
...

O Sun, we are lovers
Still in bed
Sleeping,
Do not,
...

Everything is but on supposition and presumption,
Nothing as evidential record,
Who built it and when,
How was it,
...

The golden sun glistening and falling upon
Catching the sight somewhere
Of a girl bride
Going to her newly-found home
...

See
I
The dark daughter
Playing
...

Poetry as inscriptions, stone carvings,
Terracotta images,
Sculptures and figurines,
Art and artifacts,
...

Even n the blazing heat heat
Of the summer
When the sun seems to be scorching
And ruffling it all
...

Letting the people
Queued long and waiting for long,
Under the heat of the sun
For all day long,
...

Letting the people
Troubled
By your demonetization,
Discontinuation of
...

Jayanta Mahapatra sitting by door
And thinking about
The Jagannath Puri Temple,
The Konark Sun Temple,
...

I see the Konark Sun-temple
And see the wheels of it,
The temple in the form of a chariot wheel
Drawn by white horses,
...

I think about the chariot of the Konark Sun Temple
Carved and chiselled out of stone,
The Chariot of the Sun-God
Drawn by imaginary white horses
...

The sun falling upon in the morning
And the sunflower glistening
Like a maiden sweet.
...

The wintry sun dispelling the darkness and gloom
Shining upon the horizon,
The hamlets and thorps awaking and arising from
With thin wrappers over the body
...
