In the sound of silence

In the frugal chambers

Of my heart

Above the beats that echo

I hear the sound of silence.

It roars…

Pulsating within the confines

Of my reclusive heart,

Shackled and bound to

My closed-off self,

It rages…

Tempestuous and simmering

Like a pot

Of roiling emotions

It beats upon the hollow atria.

It raves…

Murmuring and whispering

Entreaties to me

Begging me to open

The walled-off ventricles

It rushes…

I close my eyes

To the memories and the pain

How do I explain, that

In this sound of silence, I find

My solace…

    That’s what sometimes needed πŸ˜ƒ
    Excellent, Sonal.

  2. Beautiful poem! How synonymous silence and solace are πŸ’šπŸ’š

  3. Sometimes, all of my monologues of anger and hurt and regret happen in the silences, too, and I let the silence hammer me as a punishment for words not spoken.
    This is beautiful and deep and relatable.
