The Silence Beyond Eden

The Silence Beyond Eden  The sky, dust-laden, wears the stains of ash, while restless souls gather pearls of eternity, yet their hunger remains unsatiated. Frontiers bleed, dreams crumble into ruins, and nameless children inherit an unknown Eden's ashes. Once, your footsteps consecrated the earth, your breath sanctified the wandering winds. Now, iron and fire dictate the fate of spring. Who taught the flowers to fear their blossoming? Perhaps the giants still play their ancient game, moving kingdoms across the chessboard of the earth, while pawns of flesh and blood vanish beneath their shadows. And you remain silent, beyond the ruins of paradise. Is your silence the final mystery of creation, or the permission through which the giants reign?

Flow of the Mekong

 Flow of the Mekong

The water flows

through the Mekong

year after year,

bearing the tales

of fighters for salvation—

their blood reddening

the river,

leaving the laps of mothers

hollow,

their eyes condemned

to tears

for the rest of their lives.

Then came

the hoisting

of crimson flags,

at the cost

of countless brave lives.

But those bygone days

are now blurred

beneath the cutting

of wings—

wings once meant

to rise into the sky,

to quench

the skylark’s thirst

for freedom.

Poetry : Star's Call

-

Dazzling stars' ethereal call in the serene night, as if bearing messages from billions of years- tales of hidden abyss. Their flashing smiles  drift like ripples  of creation, still unfolding  far away from us, for reasons unknown. The Lord's infinite crafts  flow on  into eternity.  ....By Goutam Roy

Prayer of the Winged

-

 Prayer of the Winged In the vast hollow of the sky, they wander— seekers of a forgotten breath. Once, the air was sacred, a silent hymn of life; now it trembles, laden with the weight of man. Dust veils the earth, smoke dims the unseen paths, and within their fragile chests time withers unspoken. Yet still they rise— beyond sorrow, beyond decay— with the skylark’s ancient song, offering their pain to the Eternal, soaring where heaven remembers purity. Quick guidance: By  Goutam Roy

While The City Sleeps

While The City Sleeps ​ A troop of monkeys moves with hunger folded into fur, speechless mouths snatching scraps from hands that look away. ​The blue sunrise sinks without promise. They scatter and return— centrifugal lives spun from the shade, from a lost belonging. ​Half-fed, they rummage through the hours, leaning against death as one leans against a wall— not to fall, not to hope, only to endure. ​Night arrives without ceremony. They huddle closer, sharing what crumbs remain— a silence passed from paw to paw, while the city sleeps. ​By  Goutam Roy
