The Voice Under Silence: Poems QUOTES

1 " So old were you, Grammpa—
the last time I saw you, anaemic
You looked like the monsoon in my town. "

― Abhijit Sarmah , The Voice Under Silence: Poems

2 " Don’t I remember those rustic evenings, now
buried under a thick shawl of futile memories
when you and I, walked and talked
and melted into the lurid nightfall?
I do. "

― Abhijit Sarmah , The Voice Under Silence: Poems

3 " My town of clouds and river
Of terrifying minds and young dreams
Streets with some people
Good people smiling
Train tracks of dreamers,
High, happy, celebrating—
Us, themselves and the beauty. "

― Abhijit Sarmah , The Voice Under Silence: Poems

4 " It ends. Good things
always end terribly,
at dawn in his arms
wrapped, silently
or— late in the night
in unchartered apartments
or hotel foyers, over a
fight. It ends. Good things
always end terribly. "

― Abhijit Sarmah , The Voice Under Silence: Poems

5 " i reach the perfect cube, and wait for
somebody to pick the phone back at home. "

― Abhijit Sarmah , The Voice Under Silence: Poems
