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…

About Sonal Singh

An author, storyteller, and full-time observer of life’s glorious absurdities. I write humour-laced stories where chaos wears fluffy fur, emotions arrive uninvited, and middle-class Indian households become ecosystems of drama, love, and unsolicited advice. Armed with sarcasm, caffeine, and alarming emotional attachment to stray creatures, I believe compassion is less of a virtue and more of a lifestyle disorder. One that I embrace. When I’m not writing, I’m usually busy running a full-time HR consultancy business, rescuing animals, or trying to maintain dignity while being emotionally manipulated by my pets. Through my literary work, I try to blend humour with heart, celebrating the messy coexistence of humans and non-humans in modern urban India.
