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…!
