DAYS AFTER-10

Life is all about 
Having the motivation to live
Each and every bit of it 
Life is all about 
Living till the last minute
With enthusiasm and a smile on lips 

To motivate 
You need to have a goal 
Life is all about fixing goals 
And sprinting towards it 
With all your heart and mind

Life is all about chasing one's love
Like a mad over 
Find your love 
Rush towards it 
Uncover  the lover 
You have forgotten long since 

Fall in love with life
Fall in love with yourself 
An object, an idea, an individual 
Plants, pets and poetry 
Anything under the sun 
Be with your love
That will keep your interests alive 

Life is all about rediscovering oneself 
Fixing one's priorities and reorienting oneself 
Updating as per changing needs of time
Enjoying and relishing 
The juice at each station of it
Childhood, youth and old age 
Never matters
Where you are 
Till you are in the game 
Loving and living it with passion and dignity

White SOMETHING I LOOK AT-306
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

My love!
I also feel 
the same way as you.
You have completely blanketed my mind. 
No more, I remain myself,
I have become someone else,
yes someone else 
with which at times I dare to identify.

I see you everywhere, 
in my breath and beats, 
in my dreams and reality,
in what I see and what I don't
Believe me! my love,
it is you who live in me 
as a feeling, a beautiful feeling  
that knows no ending.

Don't think 
it is only from your side.
I reciprocate yours with all my feelings,
but you know, I have my limitations beyond which I can not drive.  

My dear!
it never means a negation,
rather it is an affirmation,
an affirmation of the refinement and dignity of love,
the grace and beauty of your soul.

Believe me
I love you more than I love me, 
I value your smile more than I value mine.
Your love has made me more sublime,
helped me to go beyond myself
to the ocean of unending joy and bliss. 
My life is more for you than mine.
My love! it is the truth and
you know I never lie

DAY AFTER-5

Today is not the same as yesterday 
And yesterday the day before
Both are beautiful but not the same 
Neither today nor yesterday 
Only change is permanent 
And you are to keep pace 
If you do not want to miss your present 

It is futile 
To search your yesterday in today 
Today in your tomorrow 
Tomorrow is yet to come 
And your today is as beautiful as yesterday 
Only you are to be with yourself 
And have the eyes to appreciate the difference 

Things you have amassed  may not remain 
But the people you have earned 
Their goodwill, unalloyed love and concern 
Will never go away 
Nothing but selfless love remains
Till the very end 

The beauty of life 
Rests on love and reciprocation
If you are not a hypocrite 
True to others and yourself 
Be sure!  you will never be out of place 

If you visit your old place 
You will find the same caring eyes 
The same throbbing heart 
Greeting you with all its warmth 
And you will never feel like a foreigner
An alien in other's space

White SOMETHING I LOOK AT305
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

Know not 
why do I feel so shy 
when I do not feel your presence?
Why do I feel dejected 
when I do not see you 
in my mind's eye 

Know not
how I am connected, 
why do I feel the  pain
when your heart aches?
Is it love or something else?

Know not 
why I crave something 
which I never desire.
Why do I fancy moving away from reality to the paradise of my dreams though I know it is only for a while? 

Know not 
why my heart bleeds,
why do tears roll down my cheeks, why do my earth cry in pain, why do my nights become noisy, days so dry when I do not sense you in your ebullient self?

I know 
it is certainly not infatuation, not love the way it is understood 
It is beyond the body and mind,
I do not know what it is, maybe the romance of two souls, hugging each other on a distant isle.

DAY AFTER-4

What matters 
Are not your material possessions 
The money you have accumulated 
The chairs you occupied 
But the people you have earned
Whose moments you shared
The people you like 
And love to be with

It is nothing but the bonding 
That makes life so beautiful 
And worth living
Man lives in relationships 
Without it, life becomes a burden
The biggest tragedy to live with 

Coming out of a zone 
Does not mean coming out of a relationship 
Then why are you so scared?
Does leaving the place mean 
Leaving the people you love?
They are where they were 
In the heart of your heart 
You have them with you 
Though with you they may not be

Separation leads to yearning
And yearning  lets you  realise
How much you miss and 
How the people you love 
Matter in your life 
It is longing  that lets you know 
How intense the relationship is

Your love, affection and concern for others 
Are your biggest strength 
As well as your greatest weakness
Let these  not be for your happiness 
But for the smile of the people you love 
And their betterment 
Love is like that 
Never asks anything for self 
Let your love never be your bondage 
But reasons for your emancipation.

DAY AFTER-3

From cradle to the grave 
Life teaches in its way 
You may learn and get on with the game 
Or close your eyes and ears 
To the beauty of life in each stage

In every phase 
Life offers you something 
It is up to you
You may live it 
Or a make a mess of it 

When time snatches away something 
It makes up in many other ways 
One who  does not accept change 
And  remains in the past 
Forgets that after every sunset 
There is a new sunrise 

Every station  of life
However fascinating may be 
Makes way for another 
Which is different 
May be more beautiful than the former 
Who knows?

Let me come out of my seclusion 
And be with the change 
To feel a different shade of life 
Which I have never seen before 
Let me walk on the corridor of life 
With an empty mind 
And eyes and ears wide open
To see and feel beauty in another form

White SOMETHING I LOOK AT-303
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

My love!
against me, 
you may have a thousand complaints.
You may be finding it difficult to accept me the way I have been

You may not accept me,
but accept my wishes
they don't have an ounce of
hypocrisy in them.

They carry my love and concern, 
feelings and emotions.
Never doubt 
these are straight from the heart, my breath and pulse in fact 
If undelivered they will 
not come back to me
They will loiter hear and there 
with tears in their eyes 

I may not be the man of your choice 
But I will always be with you in  your moments of distress 
You may not share your smile with me
But allow me to swallow your tears as mine, exclusively mine

You may be the queen of million hearts 
Forget not 
someone is silently looking at 
you from a distance
whose only dream is to see you smiling and moving ahead on life's lonely path

No more tears 
The quota of sorrow is over
Smile a bit! believe me,
it will be cheers and cheers all the way 
Life is a feast 
The time has come to celebrate it
Add life to life,
you will realise how beautiful life is

White SOMETHING I LOOK AT-302
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

My love!
Do you know where you are?
Let me tell you once more 
You are there where I am,
deep inside my heart.
Where I have treasured you 
as my biggest treasure. 
Don't you feel your existence there?
Don't you hear the beats of my heart?
Don't you know 
for whom it beats
from morning to evening 
from evening to sunshine?

Do you know
who is with me 
in my most beautiful dream, 
in my naked reality, 
in my day and night,
who is always in my thoughts 
from sunset to sunrise,
in my conscious and subconscious mind 
in my  and waking?

Have you ever tried 
to feel  the waves of emoticons emanating from the heart of my heart,
fathom its depth and intensity,
swim with its grace and beauty, or you are just indifferent to yourself,
to the symphony of your heart

Have you ever looked into my eyes?
It is you shining like a star 
making my dark nights smile,
dance with your light and elegance

I may not be the way 
you want me to be 
But you are the most beautiful feeling that could have happened to me,
without which I do not exist,
yes, I do not exist.
I will live with that feeling 
and go to the other side carrying that feeling with me.

Hope, you will understand me.

White SOMETHING I LOOK AT-301
BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY

My love! 
I tried hard 
but miserably failed.
Every time I strived to forget,
you bounced back 
with renewed warmth, vigour and strength. 
The more I yearned to move away,
the more I came under 
your captivating spell

Now you are doing the same.
Hope, you will succeed in your attempt.
But my heart says, the more you try to run away, the nearer  you will find me, close to your heart and mind sharing your moments of agony  and joy.

When I tried to fly away, I found myself alienated from myself, 
from all that I fancied and held high.
I am afraid, the same may
happen with  you

I don't think we can run away
from each other.
Let us live on another plain.
For me, you are not a physical body, a pair of smiling  eyes,
beautiful cheeks and gorgeous lips, you are much more, the string of my heart, the pupil of my eyes. 

I am in love with that beautiful soul inside your physical frame, 
I will be in love with it till eternity. 
Nothing can deprive me of my love, my only possession. 
Destiny is such
in this life neither we can meet, nor part
Let us be for each other,
live each moment for the other.
Let us see and  feel each other 
from a distance honouring each other's dignity and the space in between.
My love! when the soul romances with the soul, heaven descends on earth 
to fulfil love, to make love, love divine.
Tell me, my love!
Is there anything more gratifying?

THE COUNTDOWN-18

Every beginning has an end 
Not sure
Whether all ends have new beginnings 
Or there are some ends 
Which end in dead ends.

When the door was first opened 
Pretty sure one day it would  be closed 
But how soon it happened 
It seems as if it was yesterday 
When I put my first steps 
Now it is all over 
I am just a few steps away from my last step 

Things will remain as they are 
The deities, the clock, the atmosphere 
Everything will be  as earlier 
Only difference 
It is me who will not be there 
Someone else will be on my chair 
And the chair on which I used to sit
Will not wait for me anymore 
It will have its new owner 
With whom it will talk, smile 
And spend time as before 

People tend to forget 
Old faces, old memory fade 
New faces take the place of the old 
Old faces gradually disappear 
And vanish in darkness 

Does not matter
Whether I am there or not
Things will run at their pace
If not me 
Someone else will be there 
To take care
