Smruti Ranjan Mohanty

White SOMETHING I LOOK AT-169
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

I fall asleep and get up 
only to find me
in abysmal slumber once more.
I feel fed up with myself and
things happening around 
only to find me deeply engrossed little later 
I lived and died enjoyed and endured,
spent the whole of my time 
moving forward and going back
without accelerating and understanding life,
its relationship with cause, space and time.
I spent my whole life without understanding its purpose., without realising
that life is a conundrum.
Life has been 
one step forward 
one step backward and
I am where I was long back 

Everything around changed 
but I remained the same 
enjoying and enduring life without understanding its purpose and meaning.
At times, I feel... a dry desert is  pervading within me, at times , I see an ever green forest is growing  within me...
I feel confused ....
try to search the fountain  of bliss deep inside 

Life has been a meaningless endeavour 
in pursuit of nothing 
I returned back 
where I started long long a go
accomplishing nothing in the process 
only to see the entire life consumed in a movement forward and backward
from high to low, from darkness to light and light to darkness.... 
this movement is nothing but a riddle.

White SOMETHING I LOOK AT-78
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

Look at yourself
is there anyone like you
as beautiful as different as you are
no one like you, no one can be

A masterpiece you are
so also your creations
don't search yourself
your identity in others
that is injustice to your inner being
denial of your own creativity and
allowing it to die silently inside
is it not a crime against the almighty
who has given you everything to flower and flourish to become a parasite?

You know it better
you are just presenting someone's shadow as yourself
putting someone's clothes will never make you the man he is
realise the truth
you are as good as anyone else
yours is yours, his is his
so unique and so different
no amount of literature can take their place

Don't do anything
which your heart does not accept
mind never reconciles 
be yourself
there lies the real satisfaction
no one is taller than the real you
that you actually are
find it, for a change look at the mirror
you are as beautiful and unique
as anyone else

White A LOOK AT LIFE-144
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

         NOTHING IS OVER

Nothing is over.
The best part is yet to come
Just motivate yourself.
Forget not! how precious this human is?
You have a lot of life left in you.
Still left in you the desire to live
Why are you in a hurry?
This beautiful world is for you
For you only 
Live before you die!
Have your moments 
Before you call it a day 
You are as capable as anyone else.
Have faith in your ability to live
A beautiful life is ahead
And you have every right to live it.
Nothing is as motivating as the will
And determination to live 
The way you want to.
If not for others
Live for yourself, your better half
Who has been with you in  rain and summer
Fog and winter 
What matters is not age 
but an attitude towards life and yourself 
Be sure! a golden tomorrow is awaiting.
Live to the full without being disturbed and Perturbed by your imagination and apprehension 
About what lies next 
Before you fade
Leave your footprints on the mosaic of time
Live instead of carrying a body 
With dead emotions and feelings 
With very little life and passion to live 
Don't kill yourself when still alive!
Look at life
It is the reality 
Death is just a moment

White SOMETHING I LOOK AT-320
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

Know not 
how to hide my tears in a smile 
or a smile in tears. 
Don't go by either.
They are so incomplete, 
so immature to express 
me and my love 

Love does not need gestures,
a body or mind to express itself 
An earthen pot filled with water never makes a sound
so also love.

Something close to love is silence.
In silence love  unfolds, in silence  it sprouts, in silence  it blooms and becomes a beautiful flower

Love never asks for anything 
even love in return.
Love makes one complete,
after having it  one hardly needs anything.
It is a perennial stream 
which bathes you all through your journey from love to life
and life to eternity.

I am indebted to you, my love 
you made me complete 
Do not go by my tears 
They are tears of love and accomplishment 
So happy to see you moving on the right track in search of a better and more fulfilling life.
Hope, soon you will be there 
where you want to be

White SOMETHING I LOOK AT-249
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

Why you seek me outside?
I am in you, deep within 
Living your life 
Enjoying and enduring your moments 
Happiness and sorrow
Pain and pleasure 
Cheer and tear
As mine, exclusively mine

Neither you are part of me
Nor I am part of you
You are my whole being 
I am yours 
When identification is complete 
You never remain yourself 
Become someone else 
The object of your love 
With whom you identify 

The pleasure of the body is for moments
Felicity of the soul is infinite 
Be my soul 
Reign in the heart of my heart 
Nothing will exist between you and me
Except waves of bliss

When the soul romances with the soul
Fulfilment rains 
The peacock of joy opens its wings
And dances under the shower of contentment 

Romancing with the Soul
Is not the same as
Romancing with the body and mind 
One who knows the former 
Knows what love is 
Infinite ecstasy, infinite bliss
Not limited by space and time.

I feel you
You feel me 
Is it not enough?
Do we need anything else?
Will we relish
When love will not remain love 
Become something different?

White SOMETHING I LOOK AT-159
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

LET ME SILENTLY WITHER AWAY

Before someone tells me
it is time and I must quit,
let me leave the centre stage
making space for someone more fit.

Before they stop talking, 
let me talk to myself, 
listen to my voice, 
make me my best friend, 

Let me learn to keep quiet.
With no takers to what I say, 
let me value the beauty of silence
and remain within myself

Let me silently wither away
I know am not of any use to anyone,
don't have enough strength and will 
to carry on my shoulder someone else.

Let me accept the reality
Neither I can help nor accept,
nor can I teach and advise or
listen to someone's idiocy and high handedness 

Before the world leaves me
where I have been, let me withdraw
from all that I loved, endured 
and fancied more than my love and life.

Let me not forget 
I am still alive and someone needs me.
We are to live the last part of life
with ease and dignity 

Let me be with my love 
who carried my smile and tears,
love and frustration over the years 
without caring for her own

She can not see me reduced to a nonentity,
a man without dreams.
Let me live till I am alive 
with passion and dignity 

If not for me
For someone who loves me,
for whom I am larger than life 
and relationship.

White SOMETHING I LOOK AT-248
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

Know not
What to say?
How to say
I am not myself 
Someone else's

In my heart
I have very little space 
You will feel breathless 
I can not accommodate you there 
Just can not afford to offer you a small space 
When you deserve the whole of myself 

Know not
How to reciprocate 
Neither age on my side 
Nor mindset 
Forgive me 
If you can 
I am not myself 
Someone else's 

Be there 
Where your are 
Shining like the morning star
Be my poetry 
Where I truly live

Love is a beautiful feeling 
It never needs a body or mind
To express itself 
It is bliss and consciousness 
Beyond time and space 
Be that consciousness 
Be that bliss 
Which is more gratifying 
Than millions of worldly relationships.

White SOMETHING I LOOK AT-296
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

Your silence 
is killing me silently 
I am dying every moment 
not finding you on my horizon.

When the morning breaks,
when the sun gives space to the moon 
I often see you smiling 
adding grace and beauty to my empty sky.

Sometime in the mid-day
I see you shining as resplendently as the radiant rays.
Sometimes in the early hours of the long night, I see you dazzling like a star in the distant sky

Your changing moods 
add grace to my loneliness.
You know, your presence brings  a sea of difference and makes me rebelieve in myself

I know, your priorities have not changed 
You are the same innocent  girl with dreamy eyes.
Grace me with your beautiful smile.
I need nothing but your presence to drench my morning sky.
