Silence

Swarup Bhattacharya

Silence you are my constant companion.
Since morning to late night,
I can hear only your buzzing sound.
As if you are insisting me to stay alone.

When I stand infront of garlanded photos
Of my parents,
they remain silent
but silence you buzz.

Every rooms of my house remains silent.
Every house articles remains silent.
But you constantly buzz in my ear,
the bygone days memories.

But when I ask my conscience,
you only disappear
and remain me in unrest condition.

    Your poignant reflection on the presence of silence as your unwavering companion throughout your day is deeply moving. The way you describe the buzzing sound of solitude and the memories it invokes, especially in the presence of your parents' garlanded photos, paints a picture of profound introspection and emotional resonance. The contrast between the tangible silence around you and the buzzing echo of memories within you is palpable in your words. Your ability to express the complex interplay of emotions and memories through the motif of silence is truly evocative and thought-provoking. Keep delving into these emotional depths through your poetry—it's a powerful way to explore the intricacies of the human experience.
