A Twilight That Never Ends (Sonnet) Poem by Dipankar Sadhukhan

So many years have passed since that twilight—
A hush that sang like strings upon the breeze.
No garden now, but neon mocks the night,
Yet still her whisper trembles in the trees.

Her smile was not a dawn but evening's glow,
Reflected through the glass of speeding trains;
Her eyes, two stars that never cease to show,
Still circle me within time's iron chains.

I breathe the rain, not roses—wet and cold,
That kissed the rails where fleeting shadows wept.
Each drop revives the warmth I cannot hold,
Yet in its hush her heartbeat still is kept.

Though years have fled, this twilight shall not die—
Its purple breath still whispers ‘neath the sky.
