Pradip Chattopadhyay Poems

Cats galore here in our home
Crawling kittens in their tow
Puppies in our rooms roam
We don’t need anywhere to go.
...

Drive fast must get outta here
Run back to the city’s lights
Daytime beauty hides the scares
Can fall prey to the swallowing nights!
...

i give you my word neela
i'll set you free
to go back to the forest
home on the greenest tree.
...

When bog water steals her wings’ day-smell
Comes the night heron to roost on the marshy night.
I have often caught her lost in the dim orb of moon
Got a whiff in the wind of her fishy smell
...

He has the acumen to charm
His words don't reveal his mind
With your emotions he plays with skill
He is a charmer deft in his art!
...

He gave it up one day.
Closed his pen
Pushed away the keyboard
With a tired smile said
...

Slowly in a haze
I rise from me
Float a little up
And there below
...

A little of me I left in mother’s womb
A little I left in her heart
And now that’s gone with her in the tomb
I feel it’s no more my part!
...

Under the sunburned clay tiles
Her face was a pond.

Sweats’ dewdrops on her almond skin
...

Pelican
Slurps on
What its
Belly can
...
