Sukanta Mohapatra Poems

I just tolerated
When beautiful women
In designer sarees invaded
Our living room..
...

The day I died
I watched my body closely
While drifting above
When everybody cried..
...

What is hidden by light,
Silhouette reveals
It lets you caress the darkness
Decorating dreams as real..
...

I was all dressed to kill
My heart reassured me
She would fall for me
Head over heels…
...

Slowly but steadily
I am falling for
the trap of autumn night,
...

Don’t peep inside
You may not like
What I kept inside for long
Away from world’s prying eyes
...

: Come! Let’s create God:

Come!
Let us divide our God.
...

I knew I lost her
As she haughtily
Placed all her cards
Kings and aces..
...

SLUM DREAMS
Dreams queue up to enter
the sleepy slum’s greedy mouth
It gobbles up them all
...

Haughty Mountain,
Looks down arrogantly to the valley bellow
Clad in sparse foliage and rocks
Remain speechless when a fleeting cloud
...
