Prateep Sengupta Poems

Contagious disbelief spreads its wings
Faith is crucified by the viper strings
Soul loiters as the wealth heaps
Mind builds a hundred skyscrapers
...

Those days are now long past
In oblivion those hours lie
When in my garden thousands flower bloomed
When I presented to her bunches of sweet flowers;
...

Forty families in each apartment
Seven apartments in the complex,
The houses were mine and yours
The promoter had poetically
...

If somebody should love a curtain
We can do nothing but to sustain
You must keep your thoughts confined
Or you do not prove of civilized kind.
...

My journey towards you
Started since the day
I was born.
The paths were turbulent
...

From the Palaeolithic times
Millions of years have lapsed
They fondly gathered those boulders
Carried them on their shoulders
...

Now that you have bade good bye
To sixty-seven summers,
And me to fifty nine
Autumn and spring all alike,
...

More it was attempted
Distinct it became more
To further new heights did it soar
Its mute cacophony
...

Out of that pond it longed to exit
Trying for a trip
From finite to the infinite.
Caught in the cob-web of
...

Time and again the tedious roads
Prince of Denmark treads
Caught in the whirlwind of confusion and faith
The haunting spectre fear breeds.
