Pradip Chattopadhyay Poems

When I shooed the cat
It spoke out kinda human voice
So all your knowledge has come to that
Acting only on selfish choice!
...

star eyed yellow bloom
washed in sunlight's shower
the radiant healer of all your gloom
field full of sunflower!
...

Mad Sital we used to call him
Sital in my language means cool
Though never found in him anger’s steam
He never followed any rule.
...

my woman I possess you in what way
what way I have owned you up to this day
are you just my need's flesh my hunger's food
are you only a play doll that must suit my mood!
...

The wasp lands on my chest.

I know love comes not a whirlwind
but a quiet whir of the wasp's wings
...

I gave the surround a cautious look
To see if any eyes were on me
One quick swoop then I took
Broke my oath of honesty!
...

He’s the odd bird out I tell my wife
His time is up full spent his life
Bereft of feathers peeps out his skin
He doesn’t deserve anymore caged in.
...

If I could fly back to that strip of life
When showed the church clock three forty five
I held her hand together walked to the green lawn
Baffled how I would ever live without her alone!
...

you know what it takes
you know what's the price
there isn't a love without a heartbreak
without unpleasant surprise!
...

High atop the spire beneath a cloudless sky
the Cross stands forlorn Christmas is nigh
since long in the past time beyond recall
no bells chime here sung no Christmas carol!
...
