Jasbir Chatterjee Poems

A dark cloud of rain
drifted into my life
And for some time,
I felt good, happy...
...

Yesterday
For some time
I walked
Sat and talked
...

Time just flows past
And you never notice
Till subtle changes come bubbling to the surface;
When intimacy turns into indifference.
...

Depression,
A 10-letter word,
Easy to utter,
Slithers, oh so easily, down the throat,
...

When problems arise
Like dark clouds into my skies,
A strange kind of thrill goes over me.
Why?
...

Come, step
into my sweet, lonely little world!
Hand in hand,
We shall run across the cliffs
...

The doors slid open
And I stepped in…
What a great relief it was
To be so far away
...

I stood at the crowded railway station,
Waiting anxiously for the train to arrive;
Minutes ticked by…
I was already very late…
...

The train is running
Through the fields, the forests, and the deserts…
So close to the earth and yet,
An intrinsic part of the society.
...

I often get a terrible feeling
These days
Of being powerless
Helpless,
...
