Pradip Chattopadhyay Poems

i cant name that pain
when i see a human foraging food
beneath a large hoarding of a restaurant
...

Not everything I can make into a poem
like the sky just after rain
her embroidered smile its minutest hem
in her shade of cornea a grain of pain!
...

They come to haunt on an evening as this
when thunders roar fall endless rains
windowpanes moan in frosted kiss
awaken within long lost pains!
...

In the wispy glow of dusk
he came

mazing through years of husk
...

Quite a child
she makes me one
mind windward wild
flies gazelle run!
...

When lengthens the night’s shadow, on the street the dogs bark
The barn owl strums an eerie tune, from pipal ghosts disembark
I sink in the blanket deep, in its dark secured hollow
Can their eyes still see me, can me still they follow?
...

On the mangrove bank of the tidal river
lie embedded the mollusks,
they appear mournfully motionless,
deceiving you to believe
...

As I reach there my fingers itch for a click
The lens in hope zooms but soon turns sick
My disappointed mind depressingly broods
Where have gone Frost’s dark deep woods!
...

The only prayer on his lip
When awake and in sleep
‘God, I always praise your grace,
Just for once show me your face’.
...

Two walks at the park
Leisure strolls on her ground
Watching squirrels on tree bark
Before I turn homebound.
...
