Dipankar Sadhukhan Poems
No soul may shine with every star aligned,
For mortal hearts are forged in flawed design.
Though some bring fire, and others soothe the mind,
Perfection lies beyond the human line.
...
Love heeds no rule of caste, nor hue, nor creed,
No priest, nor age, nor law can it confine.
It flows like sacred rivers, freed from need,
And winds through hearts with whispers half divine.
...
I'll never taste the nearness of your grace,
Nor touch the light that lingers in your eyes.
My soul, confined within a barren space,
Still hunts for peace beneath forsaken skies.
...
The light of dawn breaks through my prisoned soul,
To shatter chains of joy that love betrayed.
Once cloaked in bliss, I failed to see the whole—
A mask of passion falsely was displayed.

...
The dawn unbars the vaults of inner night,
And lifts the veil from dreams that led me blind.
What once burned bright now fades in colder light—
A phantom flame that mocked the seeking mind.
...
Sanjana! Fare thee well, I come no more,
Along life's road we chanced a fleeting meet.
In thee I found what I had searched before—
Rare moments sweet, in bitter days a sweet.
...
Can I retrieve what once from me was torn?
Is sacred love but ash upon the breeze?
Must I in silence weep, alone, forlorn,
While stars still burn beyond the daylight's seas?
...
O shame that stalks beneath the veil of night,
Where beasts in human guise their crimes devise!
What soul endures such hell-born, loathsome blight—
A sister torn beneath unpitying skies?
...
O Spring, though tempests shake this mortal clay,
Thy breath revives the rose from winter's gloom;
With silent steps, thou steal'st the frost away,
And mak'st the barren soul thy verdant room.
...
Thou art a bloom within my garden's grace,
With petals soft, and scent of sweet delight.
Thy presence fills the dark with star-lit space,
And turns my barren hours to blossoms bright.
...
Yes, Love, I come—to you I soon shall fly,
Where dreams unfold beneath the silver light.
Together wrapped in stars, just you and I,
Shall walk through gardens blooming in the night.
...
By Jamuna's banks, where golden rivers glide,
The Taj, a symbol pure, of love's sweet grace,
In marble clad, with beauty sanctified,
It triumphs o'er the years, time cannot trace.
...
Art thou but dream, or fleeting shadow's grace?
Thy visage haunts my waking thoughts each day.
At times, thou comest with the rainbow's trace,
A prism cast in afternoon's soft ray.
...
Here last we met, beneath the winter's gold,
Some seventeen long years have passed away.
Thy trembling hands in mine, so weak, so cold,
Did plead, "Forgive me, love, I cannot stay."
...
Within the temple of my tender heart,
Love plays with mirth upon my soul's still strings.
Like swans that in a sacred lake depart,
My silent words take flight on gentle wings.
...
Within the heart of water life takes hold,
To dream, to bloom, and others' breath sustain.
He sips from crystal lips, both pure and bold,
And feeds the earth with nectar born of rain.
...
The world lies veiled in shadows thick with night,
Where envy feeds upon the hearts of men.
Blind greed and pride extinguish reason's light,
And brute ambition wields the tyrant's pen.
...
O, cease thy sorrow, gentle heart, despair not,
For I shall dwell where thou dost call my name;
No mortal chain can bind my spirit's knot,
Nor earthly power confine love's sacred flame.
...
Not once, nor scarce a fleeting hour or day,
But oft thy form hath graced my winding path.
Through veils unseen, thou led'st me on my way,
And calmed my storms with love that knows no wrath.
...

The Best Poem Of Dipankar Sadhukhan
Virtue (Sonnet)
No soul may shine with every star aligned,
For mortal hearts are forged in flawed design.
Though some bring fire, and others soothe the mind,
Perfection lies beyond the human line.
The iron age now hums with wires and light,
And men must march in step with ticking steel.
Yet keep thy candle burning through the night,
Lest modern storms thy truer self conceal.
Some virtues root like trees in native clay,
While others bloom when pruned by patient hand.
Let not the serpent's voice thy path betray,
But walk where wisdom draws her quiet stand.
The angels war with devils in thy breast—
Be thou thy guide, and let thy soul find rest.
