Aparna Chatterjee Poems

Don’t try
Too hard
To please
A man
...

In the prayers of the purohit
The chanting of the mantras
The aura of the: pratima:
The fragrance of the flowers,
...

When you feel
Too much of pain
And there’s nothing
To say.
...

If I would have been
Near you,
In that nearness of ours
You would have really felt
...

Hope is what
I have ~
From you.
...

When I see how you
Care for me ~
I become Careless and
Carefree!
...

For 5 years, I wrote to him,
Hoping he would understand me
Feeling the love I felt for him...
The endless tears that blinded me
...

There is a Place
In your Heart
Where I Reside -
Where Mind can Never
...

She sleeps beside me
And breathes into my face
I smell her stale breath
Even that invigorates me.
...

Let’s run away
From this world
And go to heaven.
Hell will be
...
