Concealed Within My Heart (Sonnet) Poem by Dipankar Sadhukhan

You conceal yourself deep within my heart,
Like moonlight trembling through a fogged-up glass;
Though time has passed, your memory won't depart,
As roses sigh for days that long have passed.

My beloved, speak not—your silence shows
The crown you wear now rests in someone's hall.
Did love but paint a shore where false light glows,
And let my trust be lost in waves that fall?

Your eyes, twin stars, they burned but led me blind;
They guide my heart through night so dark and deep.
Each word you spoke became a thorn entwined,
That pierced the hope my fragile heart would keep.

Yet still you reign—a shade draped in my pain;
A dream I chase, but cannot hold again.
