Shourav Pednekar Poems

The profound sound of silence,
the emotions behind a still face,
the wrinkles caused by laughter,
the depth in their gaze.
...

The lonely night and I,
With soul-fury afire,
Consummate our thought-love,
Quenching our desire.
...

They claim to see this light
A most resplendent sight
Yet it has escaped my vision
...

Let my desires go unfulfilled,
But believe in me.
As I have faith in thee,
And let you be.
...

I feel small, and in that smallness, I have found the magnitude.
I have found it, my love, I have found love.
And now I cry with gratitude.
...

You fought a good fight,
But you were defeated.
There is no disgrace
In losing to a better man.
...

I must protest your silence
Against this incredible violence
Of loud words.
But if you raise your voice,
...

They wanted to arrest me,
They wanted to know my name.
But I remained in nonexistence.
I remembered Rumi,
...
