Get me flowers from the tree now: Shakti Chattopadhyay

Posted on by Arunava in Poetry

Get me flowers from the tree now
Get me all the flowers right now
All of them will fall to earth at dusk
I will not be here either at dusk
I will go away somewhere at dusk
I will never stay here at dusk
Get me flowers from the tree now
Love me close so you can be free now

  1. An ardent follower of your blogs, and I find one more reason to love it every time I read a new post of yours. One thing, just a request, could you please post the original Bangla poems, as in Bangla using the English alphabets? It is just that reading the two at the same time conveys a deeper sense for me.
