Pradip Chattopadhyay

From the rooftop
I see the houses sleeping in moonlight

(My chance ascent to the roof
for a space to be aloof
begets this poem)

I know this stillness is deceptive

behind the half glow neon panes
or the wooden ones shut tight from light
beyond the dumb walls of white
tears and smiles are flowing
also grunts of despair
moans of flesh upon flesh
stopping at the skin
or going far down to that misty spot
and even far past all them
two hearts holding the flame
of years buried on the bed
a child still in their head
or there but really not there
somewhere too wide to build a bridge

(Thirty minutes past nine
the toy houses in the moonlight shine
in their chambers holding life not seen)

And I atop one such house know
it's time to go down the stairs
to take up the script again
and write and act and write
for the length of night.

To Anyone

Tiredness is okay
Don't feel bad if you are tired at the end of a long day
Lay down in your cozy bed
Let the covers drown you in laziness
If you are tired rest
Because you deserve it

Pax

uncharted

I Sense your
morning movement
as you wrap
your sweetest embrace
into my cold heart
bringing heat
to my uncharted
territory
I surrender…

I rave at your arrival
as you drain
my pool of
longing then
satisfying
my hunger
forever
I remember…

An old piece.

Luminous fireworks
Into the sea of silence
Stranger on the street

Here Come the Police

Listen here miss crazy,
Every Breath I Take my soul
screams, Don't Stand so Close
to Me. I want to escape.
Maybe to an Island, where
the only contact with your
madness will be by a
Message in a Bottle.

So please Roxanne, for the
last time, there is no
Synchronicity between us.
Go haunt someone else with
your, Ghost in the Machine
the mumbo jumbo and your
Do Do Do, Da Da Da.
no longer works.

Yep, Stuart Copeland, Sting and Andy Summers...The Police kicked ***.
My tribute BLT.

"Solace"

Ease into silence
healing reprieve before
life's cacophony

Melancholy of Innocence

Beauty Of The Whole World

You are the most beautiful
Like Angels from the sky

You have inside you
The ability to make
Everyone around you happy

Seeing YOU itself is like
Making the sun rise

YOU bring smiles on people's faces

YOU can be the cover-girl of
Any glamor magazine
And all star models / celebrities
Will bow down to your divine beauty

I've always talked about the
Sparkle I see in your eyes

Even in the most common talks
Of your routine day
Your eyes shine and face glows

You make the flowers bloom
From the bed of thorns

You make the bees buzz
With the perfume of your being

Even in your solemn silences
There is solace and peace

Like the earthy ether
Of compassion flowing
Even from your sad tears

You are beautiful for the way you think
For the way your words flow with wisdom

You are beautiful to the core of your soul

Beauty that can be defined simply
By someone's physical looks

You are beautiful beyond words
You are beautiful beyond "BEAUTY"

You are beautiful the way YOU are

I LOVE YOU so much
Thus I let yourself know
I remind YOU the powerful natural beauty
Of the whole world you hold within YOU

We Poets (An Epitaph)

We poets were a sensitive lot
in a world that shat on us
although we fought.

We are who we are, and the world is...

Burn

what do I need?
to burn in the fire of your love
even when you look away
I understand that flowing heart
loving me the way you do
even when I let you down
you keep loving me
like how only you can
so what am I waiting for
to burn in the fire of your love
to become ashes
to be thrown into your being
for that is where I reside
yes
I reside in you...
