Chaitali Bose Bhattacharjee Poems

Even if it sounds cliched,
I will tell this.
I know,
You heard it ten times
...

You smoke your life away
A hazy sooty release
for that instant rapture.
Ask the one
...

You are precious.
So precious to me!
I see the morning light through your eyes
While the nimble birds chorus sublime.
...

Children of nine and ten,
tender and scared
frozen in fear,
blood smeared.
...

The little girl prayed
Everyday
Can you give me my mother back!
The love that I lost
...

That night was special
When you spilled
All your dreams.
Those silent whispers
...

A dainty bloom
impregnated with fondness,
Nurtured by faith.
Termites of mistrust
...

Broken jar
Wasted dinner
In kitchen sink.
Shaken bed
...

Closed mind
Prejudiced heart
Eyes of apathy
Rules of creed
...

A quaint place -
In my heart
safely harboured.
Donning rustic beauty
...
