BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

DAYS AFTER-10

Life is all about 
Having the motivation to live
Each and every bit of it 
Life is all about 
Living till the last minute
With enthusiasm and a smile on lips 

To motivate 
You need to have a goal 
Life is all about fixing goals 
And sprinting towards it 
With all your heart and mind

Life is all about chasing one's love
Like a mad over 
Find your love 
Rush towards it 
Uncover  the lover 
You have forgotten long since 

Fall in love with life
Fall in love with yourself 
An object, an idea, an individual 
Plants, pets and poetry 
Anything under the sun 
Be with your love
That will keep your interests alive 

Life is all about rediscovering oneself 
Fixing one's priorities and reorienting oneself 
Updating as per changing needs of time
Enjoying and relishing 
The juice at each station of it
Childhood, youth and old age 
Never matters
Where you are 
Till you are in the game 
Loving and living it with passion and dignity

DAY AFTER-3

From cradle to the grave 
Life teaches in its way 
You may learn and get on with the game 
Or close your eyes and ears 
To the beauty of life in each stage

In every phase 
Life offers you something 
It is up to you
You may live it 
Or a make a mess of it 

When time snatches away something 
It makes up in many other ways 
One who  does not accept change 
And  remains in the past 
Forgets that after every sunset 
There is a new sunrise 

Every station  of life
However fascinating may be 
Makes way for another 
Which is different 
May be more beautiful than the former 
Who knows?

Let me come out of my seclusion 
And be with the change 
To feel a different shade of life 
Which I have never seen before 
Let me walk on the corridor of life 
With an empty mind 
And eyes and ears wide open
To see and feel beauty in another form

White SOMETHING I LOOK AT-303
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

My love!
against me, 
you may have a thousand complaints.
You may be finding it difficult to accept me the way I have been

You may not accept me,
but accept my wishes
they don't have an ounce of
hypocrisy in them.

They carry my love and concern, 
feelings and emotions.
Never doubt 
these are straight from the heart, my breath and pulse in fact 
If undelivered they will 
not come back to me
They will loiter hear and there 
with tears in their eyes 

I may not be the man of your choice 
But I will always be with you in  your moments of distress 
You may not share your smile with me
But allow me to swallow your tears as mine, exclusively mine

You may be the queen of million hearts 
Forget not 
someone is silently looking at 
you from a distance
whose only dream is to see you smiling and moving ahead on life's lonely path

No more tears 
The quota of sorrow is over
Smile a bit! believe me,
it will be cheers and cheers all the way 
Life is a feast 
The time has come to celebrate it
Add life to life,
you will realise how beautiful life is

White SOMETHING I LOOK AT-291
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

What you say yours
is not yours.
It is mine, exclusively mine.
How can I be an alien to my feelings, my emotions, my anxiety and fear, cheer and tear.

I understand the language of your heart, listen to its beats,
blend and rhyme with it.
It is my heart not yours 
I know where it aches.
How can I ignore the pain,
remain indifferent to it,
turn a deaf ear to my aching soul and dreaming eyes 

I feel your feelings 
Know not how to respond in a world that is unlike you and me.
The difference is so much,
at least I need one more birth
to bridge up 

Something holds me back.
Sometimes  my conscience,  sometimes my situation and upbringing, but in most of the times, it is me who come on my way.
Not so easy to come out of the trap.
Not easy to feel blood rushing in your veins when your best is already past 
Sometimes I think 
let me silently  wither away 
to come as the man of your choice who deserves you,
your love like no one else.

My love, will you relish it if I do not remain myself, become someone else with whom my surroundings may not identify?

White ଯାତ୍ରା-25

ବାପା

କିଛି ଦେଇନି ତମକୁ ଅବା କି ଅର୍ପିବି 
ଯାହା ପାଶେ ଜୀବନସାରା ହାତ ପତେଇଲି
ଈଶ୍ୱରଙ୍କୁ କଅଣ ବା ପାରିବି ଦେଇ  ଦୁଇ ହାତ ଟେକି?

ଭାବେ କେବେ କେବେ କିଛି ଅର୍ପଣ କରିବାକୁ ,
ପ୍ରଳମ୍ବିତ   ହାତ-
ସନ୍ତର୍ପଣ ସଂକୋଚରେ ଫେରିଆସେ  ପଛକୁ;
ବାପା!! କାଳେ ତୁମେ କ'ଣ ଭାବି ବ ନି ତ!!

ତମ ଛାଇ ତଳେ-
ନିଘୋଡ଼ ନିଦରେ  ନିଜକୁ ହଜେଇଥିବା
ଅକିଞ୍ଚନ,ମୁଢ଼ ମଣିଷଟିଏ ମୁଁ-
ଭୁଲି ଯାଇଥିଲି-
"ଛାଇ   ଛାଇ ଖୋଜେ
ଶାନ୍ତିରେ ନିଶ୍ୱାସ ମାରିବାକୁ!"

ତମ ନଭାଶ୍ଚୁମ୍ବୀ ବ୍ୟକ୍ତିତ୍ୱ ପାଖରେ 
ନିଶବ୍ଦ ହେଇଯାଇ ଥିବା ମୁଁ
ପାରୁନି ଭାବି:
"ଆକାଶ କି ସତେ ଖୋଜେ  ମାଟି-ସ୍ପର୍ଶ,
ଇପ୍ସିତା ଜହ୍ନ ଲୋଡ଼େ ପାପୁଲିର ନିବିଡ଼ ଆଶ୍ଲେଷ !"

ମନକୁ ବୁଝାଏ,
କଣବା ମୁଁ କରି ପାରିଥାନ୍ତି?
ମୁଁ, ମୋ ସ୍ଥିତି, ଅବସ୍ଥିତି,
ମୋ ଚାରିପାଖ ପୃଥିବୀ
ସବୁତ ତମ ଅତୀତର କର୍ମ ଭୂମି:
ସବୁକିଛି ତୁମ ତମ ସାଧନାର  ମନ୍ଦାକିନୀ।

କ୍ଷୁଦ୍ର ଏକ ଖୋଦ୍ୟୋତ  ମୁଁ;
ସୂର୍ଯ୍ୟକୁ ଆଲୋକିତ କରିବାର ଧୃଷ୍ଟତା ନଥିଲା,
ନଥିଲା ସ୍ୱର୍ଗକୁ ନିଶୁଣି ବାନ୍ଧିବାର ଆସ୍ପର୍ଦ୍ଧା ;
ଅବସୋସ ରହିଗଲା କେବଳ
ସରାଗରେ ଆଞ୍ଜୁଳାଏ ପାଣି ଟେକି ପାରିଲିନି,
ଅହରହ ଜଳିପାରିଲିନି -
ପ୍ରେମ ଆଉ ପ୍ରତ୍ୟୟର ଦୀପଟିଏ ହେଇ,
ତମ ସୂର୍ଯ୍ୟାସ୍ତରେ ନିରବ ସାଥିଟିଏ ହୋଇ।

White SOMETHING I LOOK AT-288
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

Look at me 
I am there where 
I was long before 
silently enduring and relishing  
the pangs of your sorrow, 
the occasional cheer
that comes in between tears 
as mine exclusively mine

I have never turned my back
How can I move away from someone I truly love, someone 
with whom I am always with,
someone with whom I will always be?
How can I be indifferent to 
someone who is in the inner sanctum of my heart reigning over my body and mind, shining like a golden rose spreading its fragrance all over? 

How can I neglect you,
my heart and soul, my life breath,
the flow in my arteries and veins?
How can I lose sight of
that beautiful garden,
the fountain of love 
that touched me, touched my body and mind like a handful 
of spring in hot summer?

You are that summer shower 
which drenched my earth,
that occasional spring
which made me bloom and  
look at life through 
a pair of young eyes 

We are different 
coz we are in different situations, 
our hearts split into pieces not being able to do justice to our love on one hand and values of society, duties and obligations on the other.
Dreaming is fascinating, 
but the reality is something 
one has to live with.
You are both in my dreams and reality, may not be the way you want me

White SOMETHING I LOOK AT-287
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

Know not 
When do  you understand love 
When do you appreciate 
Something exists beyond body and mind 
When will you accept me the way I am 
A feeling beyond physical existence 
A feeling, you can touch,  sense, fall in Love with and make a part of life 

When do  you realise 
Love is not a desire 
Rather love is coming out of all desires
To a state where exists nothing 
Not even feeling of one's existence
Only love in its pure, unalloyed form 

Love is not love-making 
The difference is so much 
You can hardly compare 
The latter is a conscious effort 
The former just happens 
When one soul is in tune with the other 
When two hearts rhyme with each other

Love happens 
When you cease to be yourself 
Lose your identity and awareness 
Completely identify yourself with the Object of your love
By losing yourself 

You find your loved one 
By merging your awareness and identity, 
You become one with your love
And expand your consciousness to Unknown dimensions 

Love happens 
When both lose in each other 
Love emancipates them from
The bondage of desires
Takes them to a different 
Level of consciousness 
Where exists nothing but a single heart Deeply immersed in the ocean  
Of bliss and ecstasy

White SOMETHING I LOOK AT-286
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

You are a beautiful feeling 
A feeling that completed me 
A feeling I can never part with 
You are a fascinating dream 
So true and  fulfilling 
That needs no awakening 
You are that star-studded night 
Which needs no sunshine

When I die 
I will carry that sweet 
Memory with me 
When I come back 
I will be with that feeling 
To find the paradise 
Where I am in

Your memory is enough 
To see me through 
The violent boisterous sea 
The beauty and grace of your touch  
Will drive away a thousand agony 
And let me connect with my dream

You may not be with me 
But your memory has not left me 
It silently touches my body and mind 
Makes me feel as if 
You are very much with me

I need nothing, no one near
I can live this life and many more 
Romancing with your memory 
Dancing to the tune of my solitude 
On the lonely corridors of life

White SOMETHING I LOOK AT-355
BY- SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY 

When I look at me
I see a stranger,
a changed man 
with a different colour  and odour 
I ask myself, 
am I the same as I used to be
or someone else 
with whom I do not identify?

I do not understand 
how a desert became a paradise,
a mountain a dancing rivulet,
a man of reason and rationality  a fountain of love and positivity 

A summer shower drenched me, the winter sun told me, man you are not 
what you used to be,
the sweet aroma of spring made me realise there is still time to make a fresh beginning.

It is you, yes it is you  
who made an island a big ocean with infinite dreams and possibilities, 
an old man counting his days 
young once again.
Your touch of grace took me to the days of my youth from where I do not want to come back to the realities of life 

It is none else but you
who made me dream and visualise beauty in what I see. 
You made me your man.
But my love, I am not the same 
with whom once you fell in love and weaved dreams millions. 
I am a changed man 
Can you love me in my new avatar, a stranger whom you hardly know or should I go back to my old self where nothing mattered except love for each other, where love was a feeling, a consciousness beyond body and mind unparalleled in the history of human evolution.
