Pradip Chattopadhyay Poems

‘How do you do’

Stopped me the child’s voice.
...

The king it’s well known found it no pleasure
When the princess cited salt as her love’s measure
How much princess you love me what’s the quantum
Her reply left him dejected he looked intensely glum.
...

I watch close
The face of a sleeping dog,
Its eyes crescent moons
In those times blissful
...

It was bothering him the noise that came at night from outhouse
He didn’t give it much notice in the barn was a lot of mouse
Just wondered why in the day he would hear none of the sound
But it all started with him on the bed and the lunar path westbound.
...

‘See we aren’t leaving anything out,
check once more to be sure’
she said with a nagging doubt,
‘we’re going to come back no more
...

Skins will wither times will gallop
But dear sweet seller never close your shop
So long throbs within my last heartbeat
Keep the shutter up feed me your sweet.
...

In his heart brimming river’s flow
When he sees it passing below
He on the bridge cries ‘train, train’
Goes back to be a child again!
...

Friend I stand on your door with open arms
For the grace of your words they truly charm
I love them your agrees and the little spats
Your flowers in my hand bouquets brickbats!
...

Promised her,
I would never lose smile,
...

The leaking tap dripped all night
Tip tip tip
Sleep took a flight
Dream couldn’t reap!
...
