Ranadeb Bhattacharya Poems

On the vibrant waves of time,
I am a nameless bubble drop,
Bloated and still floating,
On it’s busy surface top.
...

Oh Good Lord! How wantonly I have frittered away
Your treasured love, showered upon your beloved son;
On wild chases in mazes dark - - Oh, Woe is me
for I have not known – to adore thy light in my beating heart!
...

Beyond the daisies in a vanishing verse,
Wafting over the ocean of passing thoughts,
Beyond the less traveled trails of life,
Where reasons retreat and dreams hold sway
...

I saw the gurgling brook in her dilated shade,
Ruffled waves sink in the disheveled maze,
Of cloudy reminisces from the wine of time,
Blend into the dark dead silence of a mystery - -
...

A languid stroll by the deserted esplanade,

Watching the battery of waves glide past the jagged shores,
...

The weeping sky in her pensive shade,
Sinks into every blade of green,
Yonder the paddy fields,
Where the poor man’s plough tills,
...

Through the nimbus of wafting clouds,

Spread across the endless blue,
...

Let us to the jungle of silence retreat,
Into the farthest depth of our potent minds
Let the legions of chaos and ignorance,
Become prisoners’ mere, of supreme reason.
...

I whistle to the winnowing breeze,

Her twisting charms and her regal frizz,
...

Kono ek din tomar sondhaney,
Chere jabo ei jagat bishwa bhuban moey,
Ei khelar angan jekhaney boey choley,
Asanta sroter abiram sangharsha,
...
