Jasbir Chatterjee Poems

A good government
Always works like a good parent;
Quietly, sincerely,
Honestly, unobtrusively,
...

Her sleep-fuddled mind
In a sleep-deprived body
Holding a full bladder
Assured her
...

Under Delhi's cloudless, cerulean blue sky,
Our Leader,
Sporting a victorious orange turban,
Walked to his seat through India Gate,
...

Among the teeming thousands
In the bustling city of Delhi,
An ordinary looking, wide-eyed, thin man with curly hair and pointed nose,
An all-seeing camera in his back-pack,
...

A glory was born unto the world
Some two decades back:
Caressed by the mother's smiles
Dipped in the father's heartfelt joys
...

Something strange has happened to me…
I am always restless, never stable, never contented;
Vacillating like a pendulum
From one emotional state to another…
...

Many years ago
When we were young
And deeply in love,
We once sat in a park…
...

Life can often be tough,
Our paths can often be paved
With large obstacles.
...

Fallen flowers
Always arouse stronger emotions
Than the attached ones;
Mortals that we are,
...

There is no Roman alphabet
With as many strong connotations,
Intense emotions
And feelings
...
