Pradip Chattopadhyay Poems

Mathilda is brutally murdered
Udolph is the obvious suspect
remembers everyone how she jilted him
David her last lover is inconsolable
...

more rings added to it
must have grown in height
towering for skylight
the tree is there all right.
...

Hush descended on the birds of the valley
a horned owl hooted on the hill above me
emerged from the mist a pale blue moon
you know in the jungle the night comes soon!
...

If I say
I don't believe in God
I would be incurring enemies.
...

I dipped my toe
in the inviting shallowness of the creek.

her muddy water
...

the rooks glare at him
his pawns are all dead
on his neck roars the queen
crown trembles on his head!
...

Crispy leaves winter brown
crackle neath her feet
she looks good out of town
her eyes are playing sweet!
...

Fourteen paces apart
They stood face to face
The place was Belvedere
In death's close embrace!
...

For some days
placed you on the pedestal
of goddess.
