 SOMETHING I LOOK AT-104 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY        LOVE HAPPENS ONCE  when i put the whole of me in you and got the whole of you in return that was the day we were looking forward to, the day of our life my love! when our emotions and passions met  happiness and sorrow, dreams and ambitions, body and mind became one time stopped ticking, eyes and ears  had nothing more to see and listen we became a single entity living for  and in each other in endless time you took me to that strange island where there was none  but you and me  listening to the symphony of love living in  each other's heart   with the blue ocean whispering in our ears to fathom the depth and beauty of its love with the limitless sky you made me understand love can never be with many it happens once always with one a single mind can never be attached to multiple objects of love love is always with one it is a feeling you can't share a treasure y...

 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

 My creatively positive rumination on a wonderful poem titled "A Look at Life-162" delineated by Smruti Ranjan Mohanty ji from India. A LOOK AT LIFE- 162 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY Wasted past Uneventful present  Future in the dark  With trembling mind and body, my legs once again in the abyss  Once more I am on my ashes  witnessing life in the ashtray  The moment never came I deceived myself all along  Time flew away  With it flew away the urge  For which I come again and again  I accomplished nothing  except for relationships, pelf, power and recognition, that faded like the fading colours of life. Time consumed everything I thought my own   except for my regrets, one more opportunity went in begging  Time consumed the best part of life My childhood and youth  In return, it gave me nothing  but an ounce of external glitter  Which is so heavy on my shoulder, something I can not live with, something I can...

Once more I am on my ashes  witnessing life in the ashtray  The moment never came I deceived myself all along  Time flew away  With it flew away  the urge  For which I come again and again  I accomplished nothing  except for relationships, pelf, power and recognition, that faded like the fading colours of life.

 A LOOK  AT LIFE-142 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY        LET ME Let me forget Everything I have learned  Let me exhaust  All that I have earned  Let me forget  Who I am and where from  Let me come out of All relationships and hangovers  To visualise life in its true colour Let me begin life once more  With no past to lean upon  No future to dream for  No status to safeguard  No relations to take care Let me get out of the cage Where I have been long since The social clusters  Caste, creed and colour  Religion, dogmas and superstitions  Pelf, power and accolades  To be in fresh air  Where truly breathes life In the serene oasis Let me forget my name and identity  To go beyond me and all  That put limits  Pride, anger and  prejudice Ego, hatred and jealousy  Let me forget history and geography  Boundaries and territories  Myths, parables and collective co...
