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?

The Little " I"

 The Little “I” Yet I cannot abandon the little “I” buried deep within my heart, whose faded, shabby figure still haunts me. Sometimes, she beckons me towards her innocent world— a call I cannot resist, though each return leaves me more unhappy. My eyes grow vacant, as though seeking atonement with her, while I turn away from the sun-scorched world where the soul is slowly charred. By Goutam Roy
