#OpenPoetry SOMETHING I LOOK AT-17 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY You are no more My friend the great giver is no more No more is my saviour, The man with masculine virility And unmatched vigour No more is the man, With celestial earrings No more is my hero Who lived his life and died his death For me and no one else My heart bleeds The mind does not accept How can I reconcile to something So unreal so unacceptable That my friend with the coat Is no more With you Gone are my dreams Gone are my passions What I will do With the whole of the world When you are not there? Of what use pelf and power When my friend left the world In an empty hand? I am all alone, Only a physical body My soul is with you, My love my emotion, My whole world is with you My life means nothing to me For I do not know How to live without you But I have to die my death Without you My friend! You know Your friend Duryodhan is not a coward There is none in the opposite camp Who can defeat your friend In his art He can still win the world, But of what use, When you are not there My spirit is high In anticipation of meeting you In the sky Let me embrace death With a smile on lips And head high #SOMETHING I LOOK AT-17 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY You are no more My friend the great giver is no more No more is my saviour, The man with masculine virility And unmatched vigour
