Pradip Chattopadhyay Poems

One layer after another follows
Silent colorless dark hollows
Can’t extricate from the scenes dimly lit
Am I in dream or out of it?
...

A blue moonbeam in the yellow sun
My dreams crimson in the violet sky
From the black oozes the silvery dew
If only I knew, if only….!
...

I hide my eyes behind dark glass
Paint weird colors on my hair
Day and night with a painter’s brush
I try if I can catch a stare!
...

I’ll love you
Till the sky is down on my head
And my blood is no more red!
Till the sun sets in the east
...

A moment of love
Turned me beggar and blind
I made my bed on moon dust
Everything else I left behind.
...

You left my shore long ago
For the misty island
Come sunshine come rain
Time and again I visit the pain
...

Through the window of my cubicle
I see the day graying into night
And a world I can’t reach.
I yearn to come out
...

It could never have any say
When I threw it away
The cadaver once life throbbed,
I silently sobbed!
...

I want to listen to the silence of your heart
That tells of sorrows no word could shape
Of fallen dreams, the endless rape
Of forever giving without any hope of return
...

I don’t know what set the mood
Today I’m feeling good
Happiness all over me
I feel nice and free
...
