Creation of this poem is just a drifting thought…pen again broke free…
☆ Silence of inner-voice…☆
Sometimes,
There’s an urge
To drift away endlessly
with the stark solitude,
Sometimes,
There’s an urge
To listen
to the silence of inner-voice…
While often
Drowned with thinking,
It occurs
Why not to laugh
on self before the mirror…!
Bird trapped
inside this body-cage
Keeps wondering,
Why not
To break free
To soar high in the sky
with expanded wings…
In the long life-voyage,
Had a longing desire,
Why not
To say something,
which has always
remained untold…
Limiting to self-fragrance,
Spent the entire life…
Why not
To spend some time
Away from the self of myself…!
