Dr. Prashanta Chandra Panda

Shadow-fit

Ooh Shadows , never you cease

Walks beside as you owned

Me in me, me by me

No tickets to show, u go places

Big or small, U travel the world

Measured, unmeasured

Fences failed to ur fancied world ..,,

Squeeze a game of hide & seek

Beats in light are dancing dark

Rubbing left, switch to right-

Drops on front and swim to fade

Guard-man then circles to back

Ooh Shadows u follow and lead....

A living act, u live my history

Stitching time thread in dark

You are on work, I live my dark

Shadows work night and light

Ooh Shadow-fit I try to stay,

To shadows of my past, I fit to stay...

Ooh Shadows never you cease

Living a life, living past a death

Shadow-fit we wish to stay

Framed in heart treasured in death

Shadows are tagged till last breath

Enlightening world past your death..

Treasured Moments

Ooh they come unannounced

Parade whimsical laughing loud

Darkness of silence is their abode

A private me rests in their world..

A day’s work is never over

Race is on else you fear

‘Can’t wait’ you can’t say

You let work be your world..

Darker nights float them close,

Some dead remain dear to lose

Some live for you, long separated

Dreams bridge dark but u unmoved...

A culprit in my treasured moments

Fearing death to soul before I die

Good work frees soul from blame

Darkness of silence is dear to me
