 SOMETHING I LOOK AT-142

BY, -SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY


         NOTHING TO COMPLAIN


Lying on a block of ice

Waiting for you since long

The earth below is sinking

The sky over is withering 

But my son! no sign of you arriving 

Know not how long I am to silently endure 

Death and its disgraceful grace

How long I am to wait

To have a glimpse of you, 

The heart of my heart

With  whom I could not live my life

Through whom I will live my death 


My son!

Come quickly 

If not for you, for me at lest 

They are speaking ill of you

I can tolerate everything 

But anything against you

How can I tolerate,

Bear and digest?


All along

You were on that side of the river

And I am  this side

Never tried to measure the distance 

Always saw the sea

Felt  it's hidden depth

The cool breeze that connected you and me

But long since

I could neither see the sea

Nor fathom it's depth 

And feel the cool breeze blowing in between 


Come, my son!

Touch me, my body and mind,

Feelings and emotions

For the last time feel me with all your love

Before I become your dead past

And you a beggar, begging for an ounce of love

On the lonely corridor of life


In life, I could not be yours

Let my death bring you closer

Make you understand relationship, 

Love and life better

My son! I will not die thousand deaths 

I expect this much from you

If not life, respect my death

Those thousand lips speaking ill of you

Just too much to endure

Stop them

I have no answer to their  thousand queries

My son! I will not die once again

Live my death with all your love in the heart

And tears of the whole life 

Rolling down the cheeks 

Silently telling 

How badly you missed it.

REVIEW OF MY POEM A LOOK AT LIFE-9

Thanks and gratitude to Prof Cijo Joseph Chennelil, an eminent poet and literary critic for writing a beautiful critical appreciation on my poem 'A LOOK AT LIFE-9'.Thank you very much, sir, for your wonderful review Smruti Ranjaniji, Your poem titled"A Look At Life-9" is a poem of spiritually attuned nature bringing forth to us a transcendentalist transformative ideology of life, we human beings do have to pursue in our day to day life. The lives we lead in this world are not meant to simply while away rather we need to ponder over their meanings in a substantial and enormous manner. Sometimes, we must be self-introspective and self-retrospective in terms of our lives, we also need to turn to the path of spirituality to understand the mysteries connected with this world. We must not have the notion that this life on this earth is the end of it rather we have to consider it as a platform to reach the perfect abode that is charted out for us there in heaven. This l...

A Critical Appreciation of My Poem A Look At life-43

Here is the review and critical appreciation of my poem A LOOK AT LIFE-43 by non-other than eminent poet and literary critic of international repute  Prof Cijo Joseph Chennelil. Thanks and gratitude sir. I am greatly honoured Dear Smruti Ranjaniji, Your poem titled"A Look At Life-43" is a poem that combines philosophy, theology, science and psychology in equal measure. Life is an interminable circle passing from one state of being to another state of being, it doesn't have an end unless and until it is reunited with the fundamental point of origin. The world came forth from that inexhaustible arena and it would revert back to it as such in the course of time. Here on this earth life is an unending journey, the destination is not clearly marked at in any stretch of the imagination, the things that we come across in this world are transitory and fleeting in nature and nothing is a permanent feature of life. The structures and wonders of the world are subjected to change onc...

A LOOK AT LIFE-146

 A LOOK AT LiFE-46 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY In that The stone-carved image of yours My whole world. In your temple my holy abode, At your lotus feet my whole life My identity, my possession. My past present and future Is you my maa Comes to mind that day When I was on my way, You dragged me near Looked at me with loving eyes. The infinite became finite And the mother listened to her child, The child went on asking and The mother looking at him with a smile Days went by A feeling deep and intense came I am not alone How can I be? When you are with me. Wherever I go whatever I do I always feel you by my side What to think about me, my life My happiness which are all yours When I look at you I feel you deep inside, My feelings turn into adoration Adoration into love. The more I love you The more I feel alienated From me and my mundane world Lose my identity and Become one with you copyright@smrutiranjan 19.10.2017
