Pradip Chattopadhyay Poems

There's something I couldn't tell you
remained in the heart all along
something that is though long overdue
never made it to the tongue!
...

At the last hut of the village
Lives the girl of tender age
Her eyes though love filled
Meet only the long paddy field!
...

She shrinks running on the beach
winds reach her hairs dancing free
smaller she grows far out of reach
around her prance the waves wildly.
...

Not everything I can make into a poem
like the sky just after rain
her embroidered smile its minutest hem
in her shade of cornea a grain of pain!
...

They come to haunt on an evening as this
when thunders roar fall endless rains
windowpanes moan in frosted kiss
awaken within long lost pains!
...

i cant name that pain
when i see a human foraging food
beneath a large hoarding of a restaurant
...

Open the door, gateman
Open the door for me
Break out of dream if you can
It’s long since you slept to lullaby.
...

He is held captive you needn’t farther search
In temple’s precincts within the walls of church
God is a prisoner in religion’s domain
They flock there to worship him men and women.
...

I lay on bed waiting for that moment,
The night guard passed on his last round
Mournfully whistling another night was spent,
Though the night was still lulled by weary crickets’ sound.
...

Only the future may know
