Prof.Hrushikesha Mohanty Poems

A Big gate stared at me today
With its protruding long tongue
Guarded by branching out trees.
Awkward at stares and giggles of waiving branch
...

Today the Sun is dim and so also my pupils
and I'm threatened in my despair; it swears to stay with
unlike before. Henceforth, I will succumb to
and shrink to shell; stopped boarding running town bus
...

Pristine white cloud floating in open sky
Hanging bats latched on
Spreading dark skinny wings
Paint slur on the cloud
...

I don't know why,
Why it's so, when I see
At your eyes find mist and mist
Mist everywhere, mist in eyes.
...

Let me learn to unlearn
Let me do to undo then
Full cycle life is to run
My days the sweet puffed bun!
...

||| The Flame |||

Looking at the flame I keep wondering
Looking at the flame I keep you asking.
...

Lilly shot down moon
Tortoise whisper spreads
Sun hid all flowers
Morning broke the news.
...

On This Day

...

Those eyes I see, always remain unseen
When I peep in and in - I see nothing;
Absolutely nothing: no color, no question,
Not a bit of wonder even!
...

They come and on their way they go
Time makes many myriad of flow.

The flow is made to wash away
The image of today melts on its way.
