In Venus, Debasish Mondol invites readers into a world where love is both a sanctuary and a storm, where longing echoes louder than words, and where every emotion is draped in moonlight and memory. This hauntingly beautiful collection of fifteen poems explores the fragility of the human heart through themes of unspoken desire, emotional vulnerability, heartbreak, and hope. With lyrical grace and a romantic soul, Mondol turns his gaze toward the moments that define us—the brush of a hand, the silence after goodbye, the ache of dreams that never came true, and the eternal wait for someone who may never return.
From the celestial devotion of “Venus” to the aching questions of “What If” and “If You’re Not Mine,” each poem captures a feeling you've known but never dared to name. In “Let Me Love You” and “I Want You to Love Me,” the poet opens his heart with disarming honesty, while “The Forgotten Flower” and “Tears in Rain” paint quiet grief in the colors of nature. “Scarlet Roses,” “My Moonlit Girl,” and “Blue Silence” shimmer with romantic imagery, and in “Until You Come Back Again” and “Feel Me Once Again,” love becomes a timeless echo. Each piece stands alone, yet together they form a continuous thread—an emotional tapestry woven with passion, pain, and a persistent faith in the power of love.
Venus is more than a book of poetry—it is a mirror for those who have loved, lost, waited, or wondered. It speaks to anyone who has ever whispered “come back” into the night. If you have ever fallen in love with a memory, a maybe, or a moment that slipped away too soon, then Venus was written for you.
