PRATAP KUMAR Behera Poems

Wheat

Throughout the ranges of Vindhya and Satpura land
Plateau near to the areas of Shipra Chambal Narmada's sand
...

Flying Cotton Balls
----------------------------
She is light as hair
Floats on air
...

Bougainvillea
In every mound, Bougainvillea stands
Waiting for me like delicate and descent girl in wild
Before the nimbus descend to snatch, she preserves its petal
...

Casuarina
----------------
Where whistling wind touches the ground
Exposing the age- old decayed drift wood,
...

Mahua flower-on Her Brown Lap

You in delight
In skin of soft yellowish white
...

A humming bird that guides my eyes
Before the bright of mid-day sun
To give a fresh touch the paper white
Through the fresco seeking for dapped light.
...

Jacaranda- a Cool Feeling of Velvet Blue
-------------------------------------------------------
A velvety relaxation
An ocean of soft velvety blooms
...

Lagerstromia- a Petal of Assam Hill
----------------------------------------
Over a river near to hills of Kaziranga
I see and breathe a freshness of Lagerstroemia's hue and fragrance
...

Tea - Golden Sip through My Bamboo Cup
------------------------------------------

On the terraced valley of emerald green
...
