Pradip Chattopadhyay Poems

Knowing couldn't resist the autumn light
playing on walls the shorter days
painted my house with only white
to forget coming winter's gloomy gray!
...

Today I looked at her face
Her way of looking at me
My attempt to crudely assess
If she only fakes to be happy!
...

In owl-moon night
when doors are closed
in shut out light
lanes breathe morose
...

Throw away girl the parasol
rain wanna kiss your skin
then seep slowly into your soul
settle in love therein.
...

Don't know where she is on this day
the world though small she's too far
years have traveled a long way
and she was sixteen when I last saw her!
...

The morn casts a shadow on my mind
this twilight day of dark clouds
I mourn everything lying dead behind.
...

If ever the sun shines like gold
air smells of unknown happiness
tightly them in a bottle hold
secure in your safest place.
...

I find the beggar's face happier than me
At the street corner where I see him daily
In unkempt hair and stretched shriveled palm
He doesn't look as ruffled or as me bereft calm!
...

While I question existence
seek purpose and a god
the dog sniffs the trash bin
in howling hunger
...
