" 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

" Taught Me About Silence " By Jacky Kapadia Silence came not as absence, but as grace, A quiet mentor in a hurried place; Where words fell short, its wisdom softly grew, Revealing truths no noise could ever construe. It taught me strength is not in what we say, But in the calm that guides us on our way; In pauses deep, where restless thoughts subside, And hidden fragments of the soul reside. Through silent hours, I learned to truly hear— The unspoken hopes, the distant echo of fear; It shaped my heart with patience, still, and wise, A language felt beyond what speech implies. Now I embrace the hush I once denied, For in its depths, my truest self resides; Silence, my teacher, steady and profound— In losing noise, a deeper voice I found. ==================END=================== #PoetryOfSilence, #DeepMeaningPoetry, #EmotionalPoetry, #SoulfulWriting, #ModernPoets, #InspirationalPoetry, #SilentStrength, #MindfulLiving, #InnerPeaceJourney, #PoetryLovers, #CreativeWritingCommunity, #SpokenWordPoetry, #HealingThroughWords, #ArtOfSilence, #PhilosophicalPoetry, #WritersOfInstagram, #PoetryGram, #LiteraryArt, #DeepThoughts, #PoeticExpression

" What If I Had Waited? " By Jacky Kapadia What if I had waited at that turning of the day, When doubt stood still and hope had quietly slipped away? Would time have whispered secrets I was meant to hear, Or left me lost between regret and silent fear? What if I had lingered where my courage chose to run, Held onto fading light instead of chasing sun? Perhaps the roads unknown would gently call my name, Or burn my dreams in echoes I could never tame. What if I had trusted in the pause, the space between, Where unseen truths and fragile faith remain unseen? Would patience plant the seeds that haste could never grow, Or teach me truths my restless heart refused to know? What if I had waited—would I rise or fall apart? Would time be kind, or carve its questions in my heart? Yet here I stand, with choices etched in all I’ve made— A life not shaped by waiting, but the risks I played. ==================END=================== #poetrycommunity, #writersofinstagram, #poetsofinstagram, #poetrylovers, #creativewriting, #writerscommunity, #poetrylife, #wordsmith, #modernpoetry, #poemsofinstagram, #literaryart, #poetrygram, #instapoet, #writinginspiration, #deepthoughts, #emotionalpoetry, #soulfulwriting, #poetrydaily, #artofwords, #spokenwordpoetry
