Sukanta Mohapatra Poems

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

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.
...

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,
...

: RAT RACE:
"Run, run! " they all cheer
"Win the race, run faster
Never care for who is ahead
...

Verandah joins the worlds
separated by the door frame;
pushes back the outside chaos
from breaking into the inner calms...
...

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