White SOMETHING I LOOK AT-300 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY Just for a few seconds, or at best a minute, look at me that will surely make my day worth living I will not ask for more I know how precious is time of yours Just a few seconds, a few seconds only that will make the old man dance and smile once more Hope a few seconds may not cost you much if it relates to someone's cheer and tears, anxiety and concern. Someone whose only desire is to see you at the top, to see you move on with a smile and grace on life's lonely corridor If I do not deserve it, a simple gesture which will let me go through my uneventful day and night, why shall I be here, for whom shall I be, better if I wither away forever Each relationship is a beautiful relationship, one does not need to name and define it. It may not be between brother and sister, father and daughter, lover and beloved, but It can be as fulfilling and gratifying as any other relationship provided we know how to live and carry it.

White SOMETHING I LOOK AT-291 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY What you say yours is not yours. It is mine, exclusively mine. How can I be an alien to my feelings, my emotions, my anxiety and fear, cheer and tear. I understand the language of your heart, listen to its beats, blend and rhyme with it. It is my heart not yours I know where it aches. How can I ignore the pain, remain indifferent to it, turn a deaf ear to my aching soul and dreaming eyes I feel your feelings Know not how to respond in a world that is unlike you and me. The difference is so much, at least I need one more birth to bridge up Something holds me back. Sometimes my conscience, sometimes my situation and upbringing, but in most of the times, it is me who come on my way. Not so easy to come out of the trap. Not easy to feel blood rushing in your veins when your best is already past Sometimes I think let me silently wither away to come as the man of your choice who deserves you, your love like no one else. My love, will you relish it if I do not remain myself, become someone else with whom my surroundings may not identify?

White SOMETHING I LOOK AT-288 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY Look at me I am there where I was long before silently enduring and relishing the pangs of your sorrow, the occasional cheer that comes in between tears as mine exclusively mine I have never turned my back How can I move away from someone I truly love, someone with whom I am always with, someone with whom I will always be? How can I be indifferent to someone who is in the inner sanctum of my heart reigning over my body and mind, shining like a golden rose spreading its fragrance all over? How can I neglect you, my heart and soul, my life breath, the flow in my arteries and veins? How can I lose sight of that beautiful garden, the fountain of love that touched me, touched my body and mind like a handful of spring in hot summer? You are that summer shower which drenched my earth, that occasional spring which made me bloom and look at life through a pair of young eyes We are different coz we are in different situations, our hearts split into pieces not being able to do justice to our love on one hand and values of society, duties and obligations on the other. Dreaming is fascinating, but the reality is something one has to live with. You are both in my dreams and reality, may not be the way you want me Smruti Ranjan Mohan ©Smruti Ranjan Mohanty

White A LOOK AT LIFE-140 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY The higher you go The lonelier you feel The more sophisticated you become The more you miss life Calculations, permutations and combinations Dreams, desires and ambitions unlimited Take you miles away from life and reality You miss the fresh morning sun The cool breeze coming across And the romantic moon weaving dreams of love You miss the first rain The smell of moist earth The smile on your child's lips The dreamy eyes of your better half The love and concern of your parents Your status Creates a golden cage Where you stay alone Talk to yourself It never allows you to come out And live your normal life Standing on the top of the world You cry in vain Find none to share your feelings You celebrate your success all alone With no one to cheer No one with you except your inflated go Be aware of yourself You are your biggest enemy It is you, no one else Who deprives you of life and its beauty Your quest for nothing creates a big void And land you in a no man's land Where you find nothing But a ladder that never ends Smruti Ranjan Mohanty ©Smruti Ranjan Mohanty

White SOMETHING I LOOK AT-280 BY-SMRUTI RANJAN MOHANTY When you respond My joy knows no bounds Your response makes my day Sends a smile to my arteries and veins It is okay If you do not I have learned to bear with it I know you are too busy Too preoccupied to find time for me I know What does time mean to you How do you value it Don't expect you to spoil it for someone Who hardly matters in your life A nonentity I was Will remain so till I am alive But I feel ecstatic When, from a distance, I see you smiling Your happiness means so much I have forgotten my own long since I often ask myself do I need anything Except for your happiness and well-being? Am I so selfish, is my love a selfish desire It seeks its felicity in your cheer and smile,? From a distance I sense your feelings, sorrow and happiness Though physically we are miles apart I visualise your tears and smile I know how you are But sometimes I doubt my instincts For which I ask how do you feel?
