I behold you as the solitary flower
On the ends of a branch-let
Ah, your fragrance travels miles
Gratifying even the dull insects!

You are a naive pinnate white
Dazzle in your sparkling beauty
I know not where I am now
I bid you my earnestly bow!

I love you for your delicacy
Enthralling my soul with sheer ecstasy
I hear something that you whisper
Very benignly in my ear!

I am so temporary and short lived
Please don't pluck me, don't be rigid
I can't move as I am unmoved
Just care me in my solitude!

Oh, my lovely jasmine
I learn a lot from your delicate life
Take my flying kiss in sublime mood
I will bethink you in my solitude!

Dr. Dillip K Swain a great name rememberable among the Indian poets in English is really a shining star of Poem Hunter galaxy. His poems always carry the fragrance of a jasmine. Like a kind king he argues in favour of the meek. I like him very much for his humbleness and simplicity.

When I think of poet Dillip K swain, two things come to my mind almost simultaneously: passion and spirit. He is among the most popular poets on Poem Hunter. He has a spontaneous way of expressing things. Many of his poems are short and sharp, and he has a great way of coming to the point. We have frequent exchange of views thru poems, feedback, and Poem Hunter Mail service. I wish him well in all his pursuits and life.

Once more let me acknowledge Dr. Dillip's stature as a top ranking poet of poem hunter and his outstanding contributions to the field of poetry. A scholar by himself, his erudite writing inspires and sometimes 'provokes' fellow poets. Poetry is his life breath. He cannot be divorced from his art.
