Monon Mukur Selected Poem Whispers of Your Absence Iftekhar Rahman The night is quiet, yet your silence speaks, My heart still wanders, my spirit seeks — your absence. Your eyes once held the dawn’s first light, Now shadows linger where dreams take flight — your absence. I wait by windows where the moonlight stays, Counting your footsteps in forgotten ways — your absence. The wine of longing burns in my chest, No thirst is quenched, denying me rest — your absence. A garden of roses, yet none can bloom, The air is heavy, the world is in gloom — your absence. If love is a wound, let it never heal, For pain becomes truth, and truth is real — your absence. Even the stars confess their defeat, The sky feels empty, the night incomplete — your absence. So come, if only as a fleeting breeze, And let my heart find its final peace — your absence. © Poet Published in Atharo Ana Bangaliana, by Monon Mukur Media Publishers.
