Anuradha Bhattacharyya Poems

Each apple
When tasted
Feels sweet
When chewed
...

Too much sacrifice of life
In walking a dog
Painted on oil paper
Degenerates unfinished
...

Buzzing all day honey they gathered
From the daisy and the marigold
Flitting from one branch to another
All built up a hive of gold.
...

These alluring castles
Hurry you to quick sand.
Not only is there no fountain,
But disaster.
...

Bread and cheese for lunch
On a fasting stomach,
A drumstick for dinner,
Non-veg, light, evenly roasted,
...

As long as you keep
Imprisoned in conceit
There's no holding hands;
Pleasure not for me
...

A piquant whistle
Has shattered the panes.
The window, perpetually open
Confides secrets of the world
...

Sometimes in my dreams
I suffocate myself
In the pressure of
Your clasp, and then
...

The index of the point of a spear
In parabola directs action.
Touching ground leaves no clear
Statement of its course in air.
...

A sudden storm burst
The equanimity of
The dazzling white
Moistening the arid brown flesh.
...
