Dipankar Sadhukhan Poems
Are you a dream, or shadow in the glade,
That walks through golden fields where sunlight glows?
In dew-kissed winds, your trembling forms cascade,
The river bends and greets your gentle flows.
...
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.
...
Again, your face returns to haunt my sight,
Along the path of memory falls the shade.
Within this empty heart, I lost the light,
And reach for hands that out of reach have strayed.
...
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.
...
Sonnet I — The Mystery of Beauty
What mortal tongue may frame what beauty means?
No law defines the wonder of her grace;
...
I. The Unchained Sky
Fly, O bird, fly—thy chains I've loosed today,
Beyond the walls where greed erects its spires;
...
When night descends, sleep wraps the dreaming eyes,
Where red and blue-winged fairies softly play;
Through realms of sleep our boundless spirits rise,
Where silver moonbeams sing the dreams away.
...
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.
...
Sonnet I — The Dawning of Love
When first I saw thee bathed in morning light,
The world grew hushed, as though it held its breath;
...
The sleepless hours now stretch across my eyes;
While shadows of your sorrow haunt my soul.
Each whispered grief beneath the darkened skies
Returns in tides that will not lose control.
...
Upon the sky the winged voices soar,
In whispered tunes they weave the hidden tale;
Each rustling leaf, each river's gentle roar,
Reveals the secrets that the winds unveil.
...
Upon the emerald tide at last you tread,
And brush with lips the shade where sunlight sleeps;
The fragile snare of yearning love is shed,
While I through endless quiet vigil keeps.
...
Within your tearful eyes a verse was born,
Its script engraved beneath the stone of time;
Through sorrow's leaves I walk, alone, forlorn,
Where every sigh repeats a vanished rhyme.
...
Sonnet I - Roots of Renewal
Within your green, my weary heart takes seed;
The morning wakes my soul with golden ray.
...
Sonnet I — The Night of Meeting
A summer's dawn from May's eighteenth arose,
When leisure's gentle wings embraced my days;
...
At once our speech falls still—no word will move,
A stranger silence fills the quiet room;
Like dew-bound fields that halt with none to prove
Why life stands hushed beneath a needless gloom.
...
When evening stills the clamor of the day,
I choose one cup where drifting vapors rise;
Within its bitter warmth my thoughts allay,
As truth draws near beneath the darkened skies.
...
When winter treads across Bengal's lush meads,
Soft sunlit silk upon the river banks;
The dew like crystal gleams where mustard bleeds,
And gilds the mist that crowns the morning ranks.
...
Sonnet I - Winter Morning
Upon the lake, the pale sun lights the mist,
Its silver fingers touch the water's face;
...
Sonnet I - A Winter Evening's Fatherly Joy
Upon the bed the children leap and spin,
While winter's hush lies silver on the floor.
...

The Best Poem Of Dipankar Sadhukhan
Are You Dream Or Shadow (Sonnet)
Are you a dream, or shadow in the glade,
That walks through golden fields where sunlight glows?
In dew-kissed winds, your trembling forms cascade,
The river bends and greets your gentle flows.
At sunset's edge, the rainbow slowly dies,
The tired sky turns pale, the evening sighs.
Then you do rise as morning in my eyes,
And leave your quiet music where it lies.
The sun's first rays drift softly through the pane;
Your tender touch revives my hidden fire.
They warm the earth and sweep away the rain,
And lift my soul with hope that climbs up higher.
O come, eternal, ever-new, my light;
You hold my spirit, endless as the night.
