Pradip Chattopadhyay Poems

Hush descended on the birds of the valley
a horned owl hooted on the hill above me
emerged from the mist a pale blue moon
you know in the jungle the night comes soon!
...

If I say
I don't believe in God
I would be incurring enemies.
...

I dipped my toe
in the inviting shallowness of the creek.

her muddy water
...

the rooks glare at him
his pawns are all dead
on his neck roars the queen
crown trembles on his head!
...

Crispy leaves winter brown
crackle neath her feet
she looks good out of town
her eyes are playing sweet!
...

Fourteen paces apart
They stood face to face
The place was Belvedere
In death's close embrace!
...

For some days
placed you on the pedestal
of goddess.
...

A pain gnaws him as he looks out to the falling day.

On this land of dimmer glow and vaster stretch
...
