The Voice Under Silence Quotes

buried under a thick shawl of futile memories
when you and I, walked and talked
and melted into the lurid nightfall?
I do.”

“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

the last time I saw you, anaemic
You looked like the monsoon in my town.”
― Abhijit Sarmah, The Voice Under Silence: Poems

“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

“i reach the perfect cube, and wait for
somebody to pick the phone back at home.”
― Abhijit Sarmah, The Voice Under Silence: Poems
