Pradip Chattopadhyay Poems

slosh slumber river noon
dumber life behind
skim fishing gull's croon
poetry far from mind!
...

Dark night, dumb fright, furry foxes howl
Shy moon, hides soon, barn owls sharply call
In thickets, chirp crickets, mew nervous cats
Above meadows, paint shadows, low flying bats.
...

Sinking low in fathomless misery
The poet seeks an escape vent.
Takes this as an outing into darkness
A free fall in a gliding motion
...

Cumulonimbus
In crimson blush
Glowing healers,
Smoothly redresses
...

My poems come and ask me
After you set us free
You just forget our pain
And act apathetic alien,
...

It hung in the air
Hallucinated a while
And died like a smile!
Was it ever there,
...

In a quiet corner of the lawn
His forehead dripping sweat
Who’s that man sitting alone?
Must be the lonely poet!
...

I have you in rein
Coz with superior brain
I tamed the wild in you,
Wolves transformed to pet
...

Don’t let it deter
The tongues wagging behind
Do what’s better
Speak out your mind.
...
