The Weight Of Love (Sonnet) Poem by Dipankar Sadhukhan

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 bird that once took flight within my chest
Now folds its wings in silence, bruised and torn.
It yearns no more to seek your tender nest—
It falls unheard, unloved, and all forlorn.

My dreams, once robed in hope's resplendent hue,
Now wither in the shade of love's eclipse.
They neither bloom nor bathe in morning dew,
But fade, unkissed, beneath your parting lips.

This robe of longing, stitched with threads of woe,
Hangs heavy on my heart and will not go.
