Some Small Poems Assembled Poem by Bijay Kant Dubey

The Doors Are Closed

The doors are closed,
I do not know,
Where to go?


My Question
Who am I,
Where am I from
And where to go finally?



Loving You

Loved I the star,
Loved I the flower,
Loved I the butterfly.


Valentine's Day

Valentine's Day of roses,
Red roses
Lovely and sweet.



Happy New Year!

Opening the cap of rum,
Say you not,
Happy new year!


Drunkard

Drunkard,
Where do you lie you fallen,
Drunkard,
Is this the way you take wine,
Emptying the bottle,
Wine your life and you for wine?



New Year Revelry

With a bottle of rum,
Whisky,
Beer,
Say you not,
Happy new year,
Happy new year to you!




Walt Whitman

Seated on the grassy lawns
Plucking the reed from
And piping the songs
Of life and the world.
A vagabond's vision,
A gypsy, a romp,
A wanderer's diary,
Journey of life and the world.




The Tik Tok Heroine

The shepherd heroine,
The pastoral heroine,
The local heroine.
Without getting training
In Film Studies and modelling,
One can be an actress.





Salman Rushdie's Midnight's Children

A phantasmagoria, an allegory
Describing the mid-nightly freedom,
The unmindful Partition of the sub-continent
And the harassment of the people
Which the leaders did not
The sequence of the gory events to take,
Murder, bloodshed, loot, plunder, violence,
Hatred, rivalry, stampede, travel hazards,
Displacement and dislocation.



Jayanta Mahapatra

The Odia poet
Writing in English
About Odisha and Odia landscapes,
Art, history, culture,
Odishan places,
Puri, Cuttack, Bhubaneswar, Balasore,
The ancient rock-cut temples.




Terrorist

The world changed,
But the terrorist did not
The same terrorist.


Meditation

Sometimes you need to do meditation,
Closing the eyes,
Freeing the mind from
Thoughts and ideas
For a few seconds
Just to recompose, refresh yourself.




Hunger

I know it,
What the hunger of the belly,
How it keeps burning?




Divorce

Divorcing her,
Will you be happy,
Giving tears to her?
Have you thought about
How will a poor girl
Like her?




Drunkard

Do you end up
Just as a drunkard
Fallen by the footpath
Unmindful of one's family
And duty to?




Humour

People today have forgotten
To laugh,
Sometimes do you to be free
From being tense.



Divorce you not

Divorce you not
after making her own,
giving your heart to
and courting her.


Mr.Drinker

What have you made of yourself
Taking wine?

N.B.Here the title too a part of the poem.



Your modern-age destination

Airways, airbuses and air-hostesses,
Where have to go with them,
What your destination?



Strange Singers of Rama

They also sing the songs of Rama
Who but in whispers
And I heard them
The poor destitute souls
Singing the songs of Rama.


The Cheetah

The cheetah,
The beauty of Creation
And the mystery of the wild.


The Myths

The myths of the universe and of creation,
How to resolve it
The myths of life and death?
