" The Tongue Split Open " By Jacky Kapadia A silence lived where language used to bloom, A guarded gate behind the teeth of thought; Then something stirred—an ache, a subtle wound— Where truth, long buried, fought to not be caught. The tongue split open—not in flesh, but will, A fracture born of words denied their air; Each syllable, once caged, now sharp and still, Unfolded raw, unvarnished, and laid bare. What once was smooth now trembles into sound, Divided paths of honesty and fear; Each utterance a risk, each echo profound, A trembling bridge from silence into clear. Yet through the break, a strange release is found— For fractured speech can still make meaning whole; And in the wound where quiet once was crowned, Now lives the voice, unshackled in its role. ==================END=================== #poetry, #modernpoetry, #spokenword, #creativewriting, #poem, #literature, #writersofinstagram, #poetsofinstagram, #writingcommunity, #poetrycommunity, #artofwords, #emotionalpoetry, #deepthoughts, #selfexpression, #innervoice, #truth, #healingwords, #metaphor, #symbolism, #darkpoetry, #soulwriting, #wordsmith, #poeticexpression, #literaryart, #mindfulwriting

" Sighing Ages " By Jacky Kapadia Across the corridors of sighing ages, Time walks slowly with a thoughtful gaze. Whispers of centuries drift through the pages, Carrying echoes of forgotten days. Mountains remember the footsteps of empires, Rivers still sing of stories once told. Dreams of the past glow like fading fires, Softly breathing through shadows of old. Yet every dawn writes hope in the skyline, Even when history trembles in pain. For within every ending, a new lifeline Rises gently like sunlight after rain. So let the ages sigh with their wisdom, For time is a teacher, patient and vast. Guiding the present toward brighter freedom, While weaving tomorrow from threads of the past. ✨ ==================END=================== #poetry, #poem, #modernpoetry, #poetrycommunity, #poetrylovers, #poeticexpression, #poetrywriting, #poetscorner, #poetsonline, #creativewriting, #writerscommunity, #writersoflinkedin, #writersofinstagram, #literaryart, #philosophicalpoetry, #reflectivepoetry, #timelesspoetry, #poeticthoughts, #soulfulpoetry, #inspirationalpoetry, #deepthoughts, #emotionalpoetry, #poetryinspiration, #poeticjourney, #poetryoftheday, #poetrylife, #classicstylepoetry, #poeticvoice, #artisticwriting, #literaturelovers
