Bipin Patsani Poems
Spoil not your moments of bliss,
Moments of peace and happiness,
trying to know and measure
who loves you how much,
...
Your silent acceptance,
Your tears tell everything,
That you could not say through the years.
...
Let us not be naive
to be carried away
by the rosy pictures
painted of love.
...
Brought to live in town
With her working daughter-in-law,
A mother awoke one morning
And found herself surrounded with
...
We salute you, Gurudev.
You are a vast universe.
Each time I visit Puri
and see your old house near the sea,
...
As the insatiate pen of an artist
Who wants to do wonders
But dissatisfied with the feeling
That something is missing,
...
This loneliness,
These non-shared moments
Eat in to my weary heart
Like white-ants eating into
...
Lovely little lyrics ripple
On the naughty tides of your eyes
When you smile,
Living ashore rhythmic raptures
...
Love knows no limitation.
If it is heaven you call
To embrace airy nothingness,
Earth is far better.
...
The shy attires are artificial
And inconvenient to our union.
When I am with you
...
Billion stars bloom
When you glide along in memory
And I wait like a crane brooding.
...
I celebrate those sweet days
Which affect you no more.
I celebrate those honest hours
...
You are the gift of the year, my sweet pain.
If your presence used to shower
My most precious moments,
Without you is just the same,
...
What wrong is there
That cannot be forgiven?
Can I not act again?
Won't you grant me a renewed journey?
...
Unable to know our own closets,
Can we claim to have known
The world around us?
...
A glimpse of the smoky
White lining of the future
Enlivens the present,
And when gloomy
...
I have deep admiration
For them
Who live a thousand lives
And come un-resenting,
...
Haven't you ever seen
The mesmeric museum of grandeur
on the green magic mountain?
...

The Best Poem Of Bipin Patsani
To Be Or Not To Be Your Own Master
Spoil not your moments of bliss,
Moments of peace and happiness,
trying to know and measure
who loves you how much,
who allows how much space
for you in her heart, time to chat,
or seeks pleasure elsewhere.
Don't be another King Lear
and destroy your own sphere,
so sweet, sovereign and dear.
Don't spoil the happiness
and peace of others either.
Don't be an evil Chillingworth
of The Scarlet Letter,
your scholarly insight
reducing to devil's delight
to put your hurting finger
of itching awareness
on someone's hidden wound
or sweet sublime weakness,
amusing otherwise and near.
Your own thoughts and feelings
count most. How much you miss
and want somebody, that counts,
not how much you are wanted;
for in those precious pearls
thrive your endless undying love
which unfolds and emits its odour,
which adorns your life and verse,
your being and nothingness.
Your own mind is your Ganga,
Your own mind is your Gangotri.
So keep the source clean,
keep the course clean
with all its freshness and charm
and let its rippling surface welcome
in the golden rays of the rising Sun,
the bliss and blessings of the divine
which add meaning to life and living.

Sir, you have to keep writing irrespective of the response you get from your readers. See John Keats or Milton were not poets in Poem Hunter. Someone posted their poems here on their behalf. Today's poem will never be a poem if you don't post and share. Wish more of your poems surface sir. Regards. Subhas
