'The Glowing Star' Poem by Swastik Pal Chowdhury

I see you like a distant star at night,
Too far to touch, yet bathed in gentle light.
Your smile, a flame I dare not chase too near,
For closeness only makes the absence clear.

You bloom in dreams where I can softly stay,
But vanish with the breaking of the day.
Each word you speak becomes a silent song,
A melody I've cherished all along.

Though fate has drawn a line I must obey,
I love you more with every step away.
And though you'll never truly call me "mine, "
You'll always be my heart's most sacred sign
